The Young Founder Series is three write-in workbooks that walk a child from “I have an idea” to “I earned my first ₹500.” Made for Indian children — in rupees, with UPI, with the OTP rule nobody ever sat them down and explained.

The reason this book exists
Somewhere around eight, a child starts watching you scan a QR code. Around twelve, they know where the UPI PIN is typed. By twenty-four, a salary lands in an account they were never taught to manage. In all those years, look at what actually gets taught.
A child who can solve a profit-and-loss sum on paper, but has never once decided what to do with ₹100 of their own, has learned arithmetic. Not money.
How the three books work together
Each book picks up exactly where the last one stopped. Your child finishes with a real idea, a real product, and real earnings they can point at.
They learn to spot problems around them, come up with fifty ideas without fear, understand who a customer actually is, and pick one idea worth building.
They make a first version with paper and glue, work out cost vs. price vs. profit, ask three people for honest feedback, then improve it.
They run a 14-day ₹500 challenge, split earnings into save, spend, give and grow, learn UPI safety, and write a money plan for the year ahead.
Ends with a signed certificate your child will actually keep
Open the box
This is not a book that gets read once and shelved. There is a blank on every page — a box to fill, a choice to circle, a plan to draw. Below are real pages, exactly as they print. Tap any page to see it full size.

Why imported activity books don't work here
Most money books for children are printed for a child with a piggy bank of dollars and a Saturday lemonade stand. Your child watches you pay by scanning a code at the kirana shop. The two are not the same lesson.
₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100 notes on the page. A ₹500 goal that feels reachable, not abstract.
A full flow: parent's bank → phone → UPI → QR code → shopkeeper's bank. Drawn, then traced by the child.
Safe scene or unsafe scene? Fake link, unknown call, fake prize — sorted by the child, so the rule sticks.
Kirana counters, weekly bazaars, festival stalls, Indian families. Your child sees themselves on the page.
After the last page
From parents who bought it
Nandini KulkarniPune, Maharashtra★★★★★I bought this because I wanted my daughter to learn something beyond school subjects — money especially. What surprised me is how fast she connected it to real life. Now she asks “why would someone buy this?” and “how much would it cost to make?” We ended up discussing pricing while shopping.
Verified buyer
Richa BansalJaipur, Rajasthan★★★★★My 11-year-old usually loses interest in books that feel instructional, but this one kept him going because everything is visual and practical. Earlier money was only about spending. Now he talks about saving, and whether something is even worth buying. He's started writing business ideas in his notebook.
Verified buyer
Meenal IyerBengaluru, Karnataka★★★★★What I liked most is that it teaches children to look at problems differently. My daughter had an idea for customised bookmarks and actually made a few herself. Then she worked out material cost, selling price, and who her customers could be. Watching her go from “I have an idea” to “how do I make this work?” was lovely.
Verified buyer
Ayesha MerchantAhmedabad, Gujarat★★★★★We spend so much time on academics, but money management and decision-making matter just as much. This puts those ideas in a form children actually understand. My son loved the building and selling parts. After finishing, he explained to us why a product has to solve a real problem before anyone will buy it.
Verified buyer
Shreya MenonKochi, Kerala★★★★★My son is creative but hesitates to explain his ideas — he worries they aren't good enough. Going through this, he got far more comfortable talking about them and asking for feedback. I won't say it turned him into an entrepreneur overnight, that would be unrealistic. But he's much more confident about trying.
Verified buyer
Pallavi DeshpandeNagpur, Maharashtra★★★★★I wanted something that introduced money and enterprise without feeling like another textbook, and this fit perfectly. My daughter liked the illustrations, but I appreciated the message more — earn through useful skills, understand people, manage money wisely. She's more careful with her pocket money now.

Before you order
Five to twelve. Children between 5 and 7 do the colouring, circling, matching and drawing pages happily on their own, and enjoy the money pages sitting next to a parent. From about 8 upwards they work through most of it independently, including the pricing, budgeting and ₹500 challenge pages. Nothing is wasted at either end — a younger child simply grows into the later pages over the next couple of years.
The heavier pages sit in the last third of Book Three. Everything before that is built around sorting, choosing, drawing and counting — things a 5-year-old already does. Treat it as a two-year book rather than a two-month one: start at the front, go at their pace, and come back to the budgeting pages when they're ready. Most parents do 2–3 pages at a sitting.
English, with short sentences and heavy illustration support — most pages can be understood from the pictures alone. All the money examples are in rupees and Indian settings, so a child in an English-medium or semi-English school will follow it comfortably.
Yes — that is the whole point. There are blanks, boxes, checklists and drawing frames on almost every page. It is a workbook, not a storybook. If you have two children, order two sets so neither has to share.
At two to four pages a sitting, roughly two to three months for an older child, and considerably longer for a younger one. There is no timetable. The 14-day ₹500 challenge in Book Three is usually the part children rush to finish.
The ₹99 option books your set now; you pay the remaining ₹999 in cash when it is delivered, for a total of ₹1,098. The ₹899 option is paid fully online today, which saves you ₹200 and gets your parcel packed and dispatched first. The books are identical either way.
Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days. Delivery usually takes 3–7 working days depending on your pin code. You'll get tracking details by SMS and WhatsApp once it ships.
No. There are no marks, no answers to memorise and no tests. Every page asks the child what they think, then gives them something to do with it. Most children treat it as an activity book they happen to be learning from.
