Founders message
Divya Arun, Founder
I was born in India, live in Europe and study Masters in Engineering Management at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. I have 30 years of public speaking experience and very passionate about passing on positivity to my audience. Monki Tox is my humble attempt in taking the Indian culture to children so that its rich values will be passed to the future generations.
Nandha, Co-founder
As a parent who embraced the challenge of limiting phone use for our kids to absolute zero, effectively engaging them proved to be quite challenging. Discovering the power of story time significantly eased our parenting journey. Inspired by this, and leveraging my expertise in crafting various software products, we decided to embark on the Monki Tox journey. Why not share this positive experience with the world?
OVERVIEW
Monki Tox begins its operations by gathering folktales, poems, historical accounts of cultural sites, and narratives from the rich epics of Indian culture. Following a meticulous filtering process that excludes violence, patriarchy, and other irrelevant segments, the content is documented in English for easy translation during scaling to other languages. The content is crafted to be highly interactive, with episodes structured to include questions and discussions at the conclusion of each story. This approach enhances listening skills, engagement, and brain development in an enjoyable and educational manner.
APPROACH
The team actively seeks stories by not only exploring existing epics and sculptures but also engaging with elderly individuals, particularly in rural areas, who serve as valuable repositories of folktales. The aim is to document and preserve these narratives. Through conversations with seniors, we capture tales exclusive to their generation, bringing joy to their lives. They willingly share their experiences, hopeful that the stories will be preserved and passed on to future generations.
