Why We Love This Brand

'Founded by Akshata Nayak in 2020, what started as a mom's wish to introduce her native south Indian language to her daughter quickly snowballed  books, games and toys to spark curiosity, celebrate differences and shatter stereotypes through diverse representation. Through its screen-free, early childhood learning toys and books, Little Patakha, boosts confidence, promotes acceptance and builds a sense of community. "In a multicultural world of intersecting ethnicities and ideologies, it is vital that children are exposed to different people, ideas and inclusive stories from the start", says Akshata.
