"We are as colourful as a rainbow!! When all colours merge, they form into white i.e. peace and without peace we can't learn" by Ridhhaan Jaiin
Ridhhaan Jaiin is one of India’s youngest and most talented authors. At just 10 years old, he is already an accomplished author, audiobook narrator, motivational speaker, and YouTube podcaster. He is also a passionate child philanthropist, using his platform to raise awareness and funds for causes close to his heart.
Encouraged by his parents to put his thoughts to paper, Ridhhaan created magic! His first book, “Once Upon in My Mind,” was published when he was just 8 years old, making him one of India’s youngest authors. In 2022, he released three more books: “The Mirror and The Greedy Man,” “The Despicable Virus,” and “Penny and the Monsters.” All these stories have happy endings with good morals, adding values. He has also narrated audiobooks of the same titles, setting a record as the youngest audiobook narrator in the India Book of Records and Asia Book of Records. Additionally, these records recognized him as the youngest child to publish multiple books in the same year.
As a motivational speaker, Ridhhaan has visited numerous schools, clubs, and events, hosting motivational sessions for over 7,000 children and 1,000 adults. He holds the record for being the youngest motivational speaker in the India Book of Records and Asia Book of Records.
Ridhhaan believes in giving a platform to other children to express themselves through story writing. In 2022, he initiated a story writing competition for children aged 5 to 16 and sponsored the book publishing of all the winners through RidhzWorld Publishing. The book “Once Upon In Our Minds” is an anthology of 8 stories available globally in paperback and eBook format.
Following the success of the first season, Ridhhaan launched “Once Upon In Our Minds: Season 2,” which featured 8 winners from India, Qatar, and the Philippines. All the winning stories from this season are published in an anthology titled “Once Upon In Our Minds: Volume 2.” This book is also available globally through popular platforms in both paperback and eBook formats.
In 2023, Ridhhaan launched a YouTube podcast, “B’coz I Can with Ridhhaan,” aimed at promoting young, talented children and seeking inspiration from accomplished individuals and their life stories. This unique show, hosted by a child, caters to both children and adults alike.
In the same year, Ridhhaan was invited as a guest speaker at the Pune International Literature Festival (PILF). In 2024, Ridhhaan was invited as a guest speaker at the New Delhi World Book Fair as a panelist alongside senior authors Deepa Agarwal and Stuti Gupta to talk about children’s literature, leaving the audience mesmerized with his knowledge and maturity.
Ridhhaan actively donates a portion of his income from audiobooks to benefit blind students and supports the BVJSS Foundation, an orphanage with 350 children in Pune. He regularly visits and interacts with children aged 6 to 16 on topics such as story writing, helping them build confidence and motivating them to speak. His dedication to these inspiring youngsters has earned him the position of Brand Ambassador for the BVJSS Foundation.
It is no surprise why—children have become more confident, even willing to speak publicly on mic and try to communicate in English!
