With the summer holidays in full swing, and kids spending more time on screens, many parents are on the lookout for ways to mix things up. What if, instead, you could spend that time playing something fun — something that brings you closer to your child and opens up a window into India’s history, culture, and stories?

Imagine sitting with your little one and playing a game that introduces them to Indian history, culture, and mythology — while also strengthening your bond. That’s the idea behind ‘Chittam’ — using simple, thoughtful games to spark joy, reflection, and conversations around Indian stories and values.

A question that sparked a movement

No school teaches children how to navigate emotions or face challenging situations. It was this realisation — and a simple question — that led Charanya Kumar, a Chennai-based entrepreneur, to create Chittam.
