Prasad, a native of Kinnigoli in Dakshina Kannada, is a civil engineer by profession. He currently lives in Delhi, and has been working with the Kannadagothilla team for the last few months. Prasad says, “The team got in touch with me a few months ago and we zeroed in on coming up with an attractive, innovative and creative way to help non-Kannadigas learn the language, so that learning can be fun.

Personally, I feel that when learning becomes fun, the whole process becomes lovable. We started off by creating cartoons based on the simple words used in day-to-day life. The words, we ensured, would not exceed more than three words so that people can easily remember.”

“We have tried to keep the cartoons as original and real as possible. We’ve given a local touch to the cartoons – the way they dress, local culture, the market scenes, the office scene, the sweat and more. We have tried to make it very relatable,” Prasad says.
