The Story Behind the Story

Hi, I'm Kripsa Mehta

Data Scientist. Children's Book Author. Founder of KripsaVerse.
On a mission to make science as exciting as adventure.

Kripsa Mehta — Author and Founder of KripsaVerse

From Mumbai to the Stars

I was born and raised in Mumbai, India — a city that taught me that ambition and curiosity have no limits. In 2008, I moved to the United States to pursue my Masters in Computer Science at Georgia Tech.

Today I'm a Data Scientist living in North Carolina, and a published children's book author. But the path between those two things is the story I'm most proud of.

I founded KripsaVerse because I believe every child deserves stories where science is the superpower. Stories where the hero looks like them, thinks like them, and shows them that curiosity — not just bravery — can save the day.

Aashi and the Robot is that story. And I'm just getting started.

The Mission

Learning Through Play

I believe children learn best when they're having fun. That's why every KripsaVerse book, activity, and resource is designed to sneak STEM learning into the best possible Trojan horse: a story kids can't put down.

When a child finishes an Aashi adventure, they haven't just read a book. They've practiced problem-solving, explored scientific ideas, and absorbed values like patience, kindness, and honesty — all while rooting for a hero who looks at the world with wonder.

"Every scientist was once a child who asked 'what if?' My job is to make sure that question never stops."
