Chitwan Mittal has always been interested in how reading can shape a child both intellectually and socio-emotionally. She founded AdiDev Press in 2021, with the aim of publishing books that would engage and entertain young readers. Since then, she has worked hard to find and nurture talent in both writing and illustration, and built a list that will help not just Indian children to discover India’s history, culture and heritage, but appeal to young readers everywhere.
