MB Mamabot is the pen name of Meenakshi Benjwal, a mom, marketer and corporate leader who decided to turn an idea into a book.
It started with her son sharing a story idea one night. Like many kids' ideas, it was exciting in the moment and almost forgotten by morning. Instead of letting it disappear, Meenakshi decided to take it all the way to a finished book.
Part of the reason was simple. She wanted to show her children that you don't have to be perfect at something to start. You can have an idea, learn along the way, make mistakes, and still take it to execution.
Her first book takes her imagination into a classroom of the future, where AI bots and human kids learn side by side. As AI becomes a bigger part of the world our children will grow up in, she found herself wondering what it might look like through their eyes. That question became the starting point for this story.
By profession, Meenakshi is a marketer and corporate leader. Writing a children's book was new territory for her. She learned as she went, figured things out along the way, and kept going. More than anything, she wanted her children to see that you don't need to be an expert to bring an idea to life.
This book is her little experiment in doing exactly that.
