Mom/ Founder/ Learning Coach / Advocate

Anita K. Sachariah Srinivasan is the Founder of BhashaKids, a startup that aims to create bilingual learning materials for kids learning South Asian languages. A public speaker, facilitator, trainer, mompreneur and Learning Coach, Anita started BhashaKids in 2019 to help other South Asian diaspora families connect their kids with their heritage languages and culture. Frustrated by not being able to find quality learning products to help her kids learn their heritage languages, she set out to create them herself.

Her work includes creating bilingual and inclusive learning materials for kids, coaching parents, coaching language teachers, working with language schools to develop their curriculum, as well as supporting authors of underrepresented children's books, including bilingual books. Raised in the US by South Indian parents, Anita speaks English, French, and some Spanish. She is (re)learning Malayalam, her heritage language and learning the basics of Tamil, her husband’s language. Raising a multilingual and a multicultural family, you can hear Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi, and Spanish (besides English, of course) spoken in her home.
