10-Year-Old Founders Showcase Curiosity Venture at IIT Delhi
Medhansh and Vedaan are two 10-year-old founders who want children to ask better questions.
They created a venture called The Curious Co.
Their idea began when they wondered not just where the Taj Mahal is, but why it was built in Agra.
At an event at IIT Delhi, they asked cricketer Bhuvneshwar Kumar why athletes still need coaches.
They also asked why losing can sometimes be useful.
Kumar answered their questions and later signed a cap for them.
The boys are making learning activities and conversations that encourage children to explore answers themselves.
Their company has received early funding from friends and family.
FITT asked about investing, but no deal was made.
Medhansh and Vedaan, both 10, founded The Curious Co. to promote learning through better questions.
At FITT Forward 2026, they asked cricketer and investor Bhuvneshwar Kumar why coaches remain important and why people need to lose sometimes.
Their idea began with a question about why the Taj Mahal is located in Agra, rather than simply where it is.
The Curious Co. has raised an initial seed round from friends and family and formally constituted a board.
FITT Managing Director Nikhil Agarwal asked whether FITT could invest, but no investment agreement was reached.
