At The FinKids, we have created a toolset that allows children and parents to normalise the money talk in a creative and fun way. We support studies that speaking to children about money at a young age helps raise sound and responsible individuals.

Three pieces of research: 90 percent of children under one year use handheld interactive devices. This includes the exposure and effect of invisible money with the digitalisation of finance and banking.
The University of Cambridge said that money behaviour gets set by the age of seven. Meanwhile, the Australian financial planning commission said parents don’t want to speak to children about finance and money as it is a burdening topic.
These are all sides of the same coin. So we joined the dots together. Since the children’s behaviour is changing due to heavy tech supply, we decided to change parenting as well. And at The FinKids, we decided to de-burden the parents and make the topic affirmative and positive.
With The FinKids, we are solving tomorrow’s problem today. Teaching kids about finances is the need of the hour and our interactive teaching methods only help them understand it better. After all, don’t we all want to raise financially responsible adults?

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 might have had a box office collection of 260 crores INR and entertained Indian audiences, but it's full of problematic stereotypes.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 starts with a scene in which the protagonist, Ruhaan (played by Kartik Aaryan) finds an abandoned pink suitcase in a moving cable car and thinks there was a bomb inside it.
Just then, he sees an unknown person (Kiara Advani) wave and gesture at him to convey that the suitcase was theirs. Ruhaan, with the widest possible smile, says, “Bomb mai bag nahi hai, bomb ka bag hai,” (There isn’t a bomb in the bag, the bag belongs to a bomb).
Who even writes such dialogues in 2022?
Most of us dislike being called aunty because of the problematic meanings attached to it. But isn't it time we accept growing old with grace?
Recently, during one of those deep, thoughtful conversations with my 3 y.o, I ended a sentence with “…like those aunty types.” I quickly clicked my tongue. I changed the topic and did everything in my hands to make her forget those last few words.
I sat down with a cup of coffee and drilled myself about how the phrase ‘aunty-type’ entered my lingo. I have been hearing this word ‘aunty’ a lot these days, because people are addressing me so.
Almost a year ago, I was traveling in a heavily-crowded bus and a college girl asked me “Aunty, can you please hold my bag?” It was the first time and I was first shocked and later offended. Then I thought about why I felt so.
