'You may not exactly have had the courage to pick up the intimidating colossus that The Bhagavad Gita looks like, and read it. Which is why Roopa Pai's The Gita for Children makes for a great read for adults as well.' – The Hindu

Roopa Pai, a Bengaluru-based writer, columnist and speaker, is one of India's best known children's authors. Many of her books, which cover a wide range of topics including popular science, history, economics, medicine and sci-fi fantasy, are bestsellers, and are enjoyed as much by adults as by children. Her most popular book, the award-winning The Gita for Children, has been translated into many Indian languages and is listed by Amazon India as one of the '100 Indian books to read in a lifetime'. Her TEDx talk 'Decoding the Gita: India's Book of Answers' has received over two million views to date.

When she is not writing, Roopa can be found teaching short introductory courses on ancient Indian wisdom to both children and adults. This computer engineer also leads groups of children and young people on history and heritage walks across her city, as part of her work as director of Bangalore Walks, a company she co-founded.
