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?

When I married the first time, my MIL told me that during the Navratri the lady of the house should not eat stale food. ‘Gharatlya bai ni shila khau naye’ — in refined upper caste Marathi.
I was just 26, eager to please, not versed in patriarchy or feminism, and it seemed like a positive thing — respect for the goddess in woman.
But soon I realised she spent the remaining 356 days of her year finishing leftovers. And that I was expected to do the same.
We say that we live in modern times and talk on subjects like feminism, supporting your loved ones, encouraging them to follow their dreams. But how many of us can really say that they actually do that?
We live in a world where there comes times in everyone’s life when one has to make choices which will leave a long term impact in not just their life but on the lives of those attached to them.
Giving the ones you claim to love the freedom and space to make their own choices and the wings to fly is not only the right thing to do but sometimes its also the thing they need the most; without having to face the ‘guilt’ of living the life they want.
