Dear Readers,
Welcome to Our Own E Zine Portal!
In 2016, while living in Shanghai, the idea of publishing an e-zine for children sparked a journey I wholeheartedly embraced. As an educator and life coach, my aim was to bring LEARNING to the children, and to develop in them a strong foundation of self-awareness, organization, responsibility, and inner motivation to succeed in school, college, and beyond.
The Journey So Far
Our Own Kids E-Magazine soon became a platform for creativity and expression, connecting children, parents, and educators. Starting out on the Bhartiya Community website, it grew into its own space, reaching readers globally. We were the proud magazine to get the best wishes of our then Consul General, Mr. Prakash Gupta for our commitment towards nurturing environment for learning. Click Here.
A special mention goes to my dear friend Neeru Dagar, an educator now residing in Canada, who has been by my side since the very beginning. Her unwavering support and contributions remain a vital part of our journey as we continue to grow and evolve.
A New Chapter Begins
Now based in Pune, India, we are excited to announce the transformation of Our Own Kids—from an e-magazine to a comprehensive life coaching portal for teenagers, parents, and caretakers. This new platform will not only offer practical guidance on life skills but also bring coaching into schools, institutions, and communities to empower teens and support parents. We invite collaborations with educators, institutions, and like-minded organizations to expand our mission and create lasting impact.
Our Commitment
As parents, educators, coaches and mentors, we are responsible for equipping the next generation with the tools they need to succeed in life. Over the years, Our Own Kids has been blessed by the contributions of incredible writers, artists, supporters, and, of course, the talented team behind the scenes—our Seekers, Scribblers, and Designers. To each of you, I offer my deepest thanks
