Breaking the Mould

Roshni Mahtani When the Gen.T 2019 honouree was just 25 years old, she started a parenting blog. Here’s the twist: she wasn’t a parent and pretty much knew nothing about raising children. However, “babysitting in New York, I crossed paths with a toddler who was so curious about everything, including where I came from”, she recalls. “I wanted to find out if I could feed her durian and the answers just weren’t available online back then. I realised that all the information mums in Asia were getting were culturally irrelevant. I saw a space, took it, and the rest is history.”
