Kidacity - India Explained. Learn, Share, Grow.
Welcome to Kidacity where kids learn, share, and grow together!
Season 12 of the podcast takes a deeper look at how India and the world really work. After discovering that I, myself did not know much about my own country, I decided to launch this brand new season! Through powerful stories, expert conversations, and clear explanations, we explore the forces that shape our lives — from politics and economics to culture, technology, history, and national identity. Instead of simply reacting to headlines, this season focuses on understanding the people, systems, and decisions behind them. Designed for curious young minds, it encourages us to think critically, ask better questions, and see both India and the wider world with greater clarity, context, and confidence.
A little bit about me: I'm an 14 year old from Bengaluru, India and a student of Grade 8 in The International School Bengaluru. I love learning! I love to learn and practice languages, play with my dog, explore topics that interest me, watch Formula 1, play Basketball, play the violin, and, write! I have authored 2 books, with a 3rd on the way!
I will be grateful if you encourage me by listening to my podcast, reading my books and sharing your feedback with me.
