About

I’m on a mission of taking the wealth of India’s culture, art, and wisdom to millions of children in India and around the world. After dual Masters degrees and 12 years with global corporations in roles across program management and strategy, I returned to India in 2017 to make an impact by bringing together the two themes that I am most passionate about - children’s education and Indic culture. After enriching stints with organizations in the Indian education & cultural space, I launched Chittam (www.chittam.in) in 2023. Chittam offers a range of board games, card games, and activity kits that take Indic culture, languages, scriptures, and values to children (and their parents!) in fun and innovative ways. The early feedback from children, parents and schools has been heartwarming, and I am excited about the possibilities. We are just getting started! Born and raised in Chennai, my interests include Carnatic music, human psychology, travel, and our Ithihasas and Puranas.
