Mr G. A. Mathew was born on March 6, 1938, in the peaceful village of Kathikudam, Koratty, Kerala, where the roots of his lifelong love for learning ran deep. He completed his SSLC in 1955 and stepped into the wide world of ideas, earning his Bachelor’s degree in English, followed by an M.A. in English from Sree Venkateswara University — a testament to his devotion to the written word and the power of knowledge.

Early in his career, Mathew served as an Extension Officer in Kerala for a German company, working closely with local communities and bridging new ideas with rural lives. His search for broader horizons then led him to Nigeria, where he continued to serve with dedication and integrity, gathering experiences that shaped his worldview and deepened his respect for cultures and people far from home.

Ever the seeker, he returned to expand his learning further — earning a Diploma in Marketing from the London Institution of Marketing in 1980. His passion for healthy living led him to gain a Diploma in Nutrition and Health Education from IGNOU, and at the remarkable age of 71, he crowned his scholarly journey with a Ph.D. in Wellness from Sree Venkateswara University — proving that for a true learner, there is no age limit.

Alongside his professional life, Mathew authored several books on wellness and health through natural supplements, sharing his belief that nature, guided by knowledge, holds the keys to a healthy life.

Through every chapter of his life, G. A. Mathew remained a humble student of the world — a man whose days were guided by books, people, and the healing gifts of nature. He leaves behind not just memories, but a living lesson: that curiosity is ageless, knowledge boundless, and life, always a classroom open to those who dare to learn.
