Early life and background

Arya Rajendran was born on 12 January 1999 in Mudavanmugal, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Raised in a family with a longstanding affiliation to left‑wing politics, both of her parents have been associated with the Communist Party of India (Marxist) for many years. Her father, Rajendran, works as an electrician and her mother, Sreelatha, is an insurance agent. She has a brother named Aaravind, who is an automobile engineer.

Arya attended Carmel Girls Higher Secondary School and Government Higher Secondary School for Girls, Cotton Hill, in Thiruvananthapuram. She enrolled at All Saints' College, Trivandrum in 2019 and has pursued a BSc in Mathematics while maintaining an active role in public life.

Career

Arya’s involvement in politics began in childhood when she joined Balasangam, the children’s organisation linked to the CPI(M). She rose through the organisation and later became the state president of Balasangam. After beginning college in 2019 she also became a member of the Students Federation of India (SFI), the student wing of the CPI(M), and continued her political work alongside her studies.

In the 2020 Kerala local body elections Arya contested for the Mudavanmughal ward in Thiruvananthapuram and won the municipal councillor seat, defeating the United Democratic Front candidate Sreekala by a margin of 2,872 votes. Later that month she was elected mayor of the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation. At the mayoral selection she received 54 out of 99 votes cast by the municipal councillors.

Her election attracted national attention due to her age; media outlets highlighted her as among the youngest mayors in the country. Following her swearing‑in, Arya identified priorities for her first term that included expanding primary health centres and improving waste management in Thiruvananthapuram. She also stated her intention to balance mayoral responsibilities with continuing her college studies.
