Kinooze enables your kids to discover what is going on in the world around them, through the eyes and ears of parents you can trust. Kinooze is a kid friendly website where parents participate by showing the news they want their kids to read, bringing the joy of parenting, one news-discovery at a time.
For kids reading news is essential part of their growth and development. It forces young minds into thinking on their own, into learning to connect the dots as they see. We found that it was incredibly difficult for us to provide our kids with a source of news they wanted to read, that they could understand, that we could trust. Kinooze intends to be that resource online, for our kids, and for more kids and parents who would soon join us.
Kinooze was founded in 2012 with offices in Delhi and Bangalore, India.
