About the Author

Hi, I’m Chetana Kestikar — a mom, author, and designer with a deep passion for making learning fun, engaging, and inclusive. My inspiration comes from my sons and from my journey as both a parent and creative entrepreneur.

In 2024, I founded Edkest Learning, a brand dedicated to creating thoughtful educational tools and stories for children. Through my work, I combine design, storytelling, and research to support not only children but also parents, educators, and caregivers.

Mission & Inspiration

I believe every child deserves to feel seen, inspired, and supported. My mission is to create books and tools that ignite curiosity, encourage kindness, and bring joy to learning. For children with autism and their families, I want Edkest Learning to be more than a brand — I want it to be a partner on their journey, offering resources that truly make a difference.
