Founder & Lead Curator, Mythlok

Nitten Nair is the founder and lead curator of Mythlok, a global mythology platform dedicated to documenting, contextualising, and re-presenting mythic traditions from cultures across the world. His work focuses on the intersection of ancient narrative systems and modern storytelling, with particular emphasis on traditions that remain underrepresented or fragmented in mainstream digital archives.

Founded in 2021, Mythlok began as a focused research initiative responding to the Western-centric bias and structural limitations of existing online mythology resources. Under Nitten’s editorial stewardship, the platform has evolved into a research-driven discovery engine designed to balance academic integrity with narrative accessibility, visual clarity, and cultural respect.

The Mythlok Vision

At its core, Mythlok is guided by the principle that all mythic traditions—regardless of geographic origin or scale—deserve equal depth, seriousness, and visibility in the digital age. Nitten’s curatorial approach prioritises indigenous, regional, and lesser-documented traditions, presenting them alongside major pantheons without dilution or romanticisation. Mythlok functions as a bridge between scholarly sources, oral traditions, and contemporary audiences, preserving mythic knowledge while making it discoverable and navigable for a global readership.

Innovation & Storytelling

Nitten approaches mythology not as static folklore, but as a living system of cultural memory, psychology, and problem-solving. In his TEDx talk on innovation and mythology, he explored how ancient narrative frameworks continue to shape creativity, leadership, and strategic thinking in the modern world. This “mythic lens” remains central to Mythlok’s editorial philosophy, influencing how stories are analysed, structured, and presented.

“Mythology isn’t just a record of the past; it is a living database of human psychology and strategic problem-solving.”

Editorial Focus & Expertise

Nitten’s work spans comparative mythology, long-form research, and digital knowledge architecture. Mythlok content is curated with clear distinctions between mythology, living religion, folklore, and modern reinterpretation, ensuring clarity for readers, educators, and researchers alike. The platform maintains an editorial tone that is analytical, culturally sensitive, and accessible without sacrificing depth or accuracy.
