JUMPSTART started off with a series of workshops in 2009 for children’s book writers and illustrators. Every year since its inception, JUMPSTART has elicited tremendous enthusiasm from participants coming from all over India. Today, it is India’s only annual congress of children’s content creators, witnessing participation from various fields—writers, designers, artists, educators, publishers, book-sellers, story-tellers, gamers, and edutainment and e-learning companies. With a different theme each year, the past 8 editions have attracted hundreds of creators and dozens of acknowledged speakers from all over the world. We are here to create a supportive environment for people who are in the business of creating content for children, and to create a space for discussion around innovative concepts and new issues.
