Founded in 2018 by media professionals Chetan D’Souza & Swagat Salunke, KidzByte also aims to transform teens from content consumers to creators via audio visual medium.
According to the press statement, this partnership is aimed at transforming the way children access content and empowering them with information to become creative and driven individuals.
Commenting on the acquisition, Chetan D’Souza, founder and CEO of KidzByte said, “This partnership opens up a world of possibilities for KidzByte and allows us to reach even more children and schools with our innovative educational platform. JetSynthesys shares our vision of enabling kids to be kidfluencers, and with their expertise and resources, we can multiply our effect and revolutionize the way children engage with educational media.”
Further adding to this, Rajan Navani, founder and CEO, JetSynthesys said, “With KidzByte, we aim to harness the power of technology to nurture young minds and aid their overall growth and development.”
