Life of B. Johny

B. Johny, born Bibin Johny on August 17, 1999, in Vaikom, Kerala, India, is a dynamic individual with interests spanning writing, philosophy, travel, music, and technology. Born into an ordinary family, with his father working as an insurance agent and his mother as a housewife, his life journey has been shaped by creativity, challenges, and a relentless drive for personal growth.
 
Johny’s early years were marked by academic success, curiosity, and active participation, winning him prizes in merit awards, poetry, sports, and creative arts over several years. After his parents' separation, he earned a place at JNV Kottayam in 2010, a public boarding school, which became the backdrop for seven years of transformation. It was here that his love for reading deepened, and he began exploring books and articles that expanded his understanding of life and the world. This period also marked the beginning of his personal life principles and a vision for a better world and a better life for everyone.
 
In high school, Johny’s talents in the arts began to blossom. He discovered his passion for pop music and began writing and performing original songs. He created numerous short stories, and screenplays, composed and performed music, and even popularized his songs across the school. This period also marked the birth of his entrepreneurial dreams, although his first attempt at music production didn’t succeed.
 
After completing his schooling, Johny faced setbacks, including failing to clear the JEE and missing out on his goal of studying at a premier engineering institute. Nonetheless, he enrolled at RIT Kottayam to pursue a B. Tech in Computer Science, where he began exploring the world of technology and the internet. In 2018, he interned at Ernst & Young (EY) and later developed Carelife, a personal safety app that garnered over 30,000 users and led to a partial acquisition.
 
However, Johny’s journey was far from smooth. By 2019, his focus on entrepreneurship led to failing six courses, but he found a new direction in artificial intelligence. That same year, he was selected for the prestigious Google Explore ML program, which further fueled his interest in technology. Yet, his entrepreneurial venture, Starshine, a sustainable tech startup, failed in 2022, leaving him financially broke and battling depression.
 
Determined to regain control of his life, Johny embarked on a life-changing 56-day solo trip across India, which inspired his philosophical reflections and his debut book The Candid Odyssey: Exploring India and the Philosophy of Life. His introspective journey, combined with his academic pursuit of a Master’s in Philosophy, deepened his understanding of life’s complexities.
 
In 2023, Johny launched bjohny.com and began actively working on his book, music, and creative projects. Alongside his professional role as Senior Product Manager at Muvi, he restarted his creative endeavors. His solo trip to Southeast Asia in 2024 added yet another layer to his pursuit of philosophical wisdom.
 
Today, B. Johny is a unique blend of writer, thinker, musician, and technologist. His work reflects a balance of philosophical insight, technical expertise, and artistic expression. He is single, works remotely, and still lives in Vaikom, leading a simple lifestyle. Through his writing, music, and online platform, he invites others to explore life's deeper meanings and encourages them to embark on a journey toward a better life and a better world.​
