Sudhir R Nambiar

Author, Corporate Leader & Passionate Storyteller

Sudhir R Nambiar is the author of The Mangalyaan Protocol and The Ashtadasa Code (Coming Soon). Always intrigued and fascinated by Indian Mythology, Spirituality, Demons & Monsters, he weaves tales where gods and mortals collide — and where the ancient and the futuristic converge in unexpected ways.

He stepped away from a highly rewarding corporate career spanning 27 years in leadership roles to focus on family. During this chapter, he found the space to pursue a deeper calling — one that manifests today through writing, singing, and an ever-deepening spiritual awareness.

Inspired by the masters — Dan Brown, Sidney Sheldon, Amish, Agatha Christie, and Isaac Asimov — their influence runs through every page he crafts. Sudhir currently resides in Bangalore and is soon relocating to Kerala, the land of mystics, culture, folklore, and spirituality.

The Mangalyaan Protocol front and back covers

The Mangalyaan Protocol

Two superpowers. One underdog. The ultimate finish line. Washington and Beijing have signed a secret treaty to rule the stars — the money, the firepower, and the ships are all theirs. They think the race is over before it began.

They forgot about Dr. Vihaan Aryavart. Using a "tin can" spacecraft built for pennies on the dollar, India launches a silent, desperate bid for the Red Planet. But as the Vajra streaks toward Mars, the superpowers realize they've been outplayed — and they will stop at nothing to bury the competition.

From the chaotic streets of Mumbai to the silent terror of a spacewalk under laser fire, The Mangalyaan Protocol is a high-octane thriller where the only thing more dangerous than the vacuum of space is the politics of Earth.

History is written by the victors. But the future belongs to the bold.

History is written by victors. The future belongs to the bold.

In the silence of space, one idea outweighs the power of empires.

Every underdog carries within them the seed of revolution.
