Vadackal, and everywhere the road led after
Joseph Sebastian was born and raised in Vadackal, in the Alappuzha district of Kerala — a landscape of backwaters, canals, and small Catholic communities that still shapes the geography of his fiction. From there, his life became one of movement: further study and work in India, time spent in Thailand, years living in Britain, and travels that have carried him well beyond any single home.
He holds a BA in Social Work and Psychology and an MBA in Marketing, and his career has spanned international management, sales, and community-facing roles across several countries — experience that shows up in his fiction's instinct for character and structure alike.
He is a British citizen of Indian origin, and describes himself, half-seriously, as someone who has never quite finished leaving Kerala.
Born and raised in Vadackal, Alappuzha district, Kerala, in a Kerala Catholic community whose rhythms and geography run through his fiction.
