Zerodha launches books to teach money skills to kids

Teaching money skills to little children is not easy because it is a boring subject and they easily lose interest. But a set of books brought out by brokerage firm Zerodha might help inculcate financial literacy in a fun manner.

The five-book series has stories that focus on key financial concepts such as the importance of saving, the impact of inflation and the need for banks. There is also a story that explains the concept of insurance, the role of taxes and how the stock markets work. Children aged 7-9 years will find these books interesting as well as informative.

A spokesperson of Zerodha said the company is committed to spreading financial literacy among children. In the pipeline are a series of books for older children in the age groups of 10-15 years and 16-19 years.
