A school for our parents
A complete digital literacy curriculum for elderly Indians. 44 short, illustrated guides — covering everything from WhatsApp basics to spotting OTP scams.
The problem
Indians over 60. Most own smartphones. Few know how to use them confidently.
Lost to OTP and online fraud annually. Elderly are the #1 target.
Average time adult children spend per week helping parents with their phones.
The curriculum
Pick a track. Pick a guide. Read it in 5 minutes. Practice on your phone. By the end of the year, you'll know more than most teenagers.

How it works
Don't try to learn 44 things at once. Pick one guide, read it Sunday morning, practice on your phone all week. By Saturday, it's a habit.
Every guide has 5–7 step-by-step pages with screenshots. Read it on your phone or print it out. The first time is always slow. The fifth time is muscle memory.
Send a guide to a friend who needs it. Print one for the local senior citizens club. Free to share, always — that's the whole point.
Pricing
Subscribe to the WhatsApp drip course for guided learning, one lesson per day for 30 days.
Common questions
Made primarily for Indian adults aged 55–75 who own a smartphone but don't feel confident using it. Adult children of elderly parents also use these guides — print one a week, give it to your parent on Sunday, and watch their confidence grow.
Yes. All 44 PDFs are free to download, free to print, and free to share. No email signup required. The optional WhatsApp drip course (Basic plan) is paid because it requires human support and ongoing operation.
Currently English only. Hindi and Telugu translations are in progress, starting with the highest-priority guides (OTP fraud, UPI basics, WhatsApp). The rest will follow throughout the year.
If completely new to smartphones, start with Track 01 (Smartphone Basics). If already using WhatsApp, start with Track 02 (UPI). And no matter what, read Track 07 — Online Safety, especially the OTP fraud guide. It's the single most important lesson on this site.
Yes — they're designed to print well on A4 paper. Many families print one guide per week and give it to elderly parents to read alongside hands-on practice. Local senior citizens clubs have started printing them for group sessions.
Share guides with one elderly person who needs them. That's how this grows. If you want to support financially, the Basic and Premium plans fund ongoing translations and human support. Word-of-mouth is what we value most.
