"Many things discussed were completely new to me. Well explained in a language that can be understood even by parents/people with limited knowledge of digital technologies. I now understand why it is so important to be vigilant about how children spend time online."
RobbyParent
'The whole context of post-truth adds a different dimension to communications today, and the need to understand the potency of social media in PRD communications. Key takeaways from the session were the need for updated editorial policies and objective analysis systems.'
P S RajasekharanCourse Director. Ex. Additional Director I&PRD
"For an elite athlete, time is of essence and staying focussed on their goals becomes crucial especially in such distraction-filled times. The Digital Distractions workshop was an eye-opener for all our trainees. Nidhi connected and communicated with athletes of different age-groups and helped them reimagine their digital experiences in a healthy way instead of being afraid or embarrassed."

Her insights on ethics and privacy in the digital world were refreshing and out-of-the-box, and challenged the students’ preconceptions. Her contribution to my course was one of the keys to making it such a success.”

"A very insightful session on data privacy and security aspects by Nidhi, Jyothi and Prateek helped us a lot to set necessary checklists for preventing security issues in our system.
The sessions were interactive, and they were able to convey each point clearly with the support of real-world examples. The presentation was excellent and an eye opener for the entire team."
Dr. Rontgen SaigalDomain Expert, eHealth Kerala
"My point of enlightenment was when ‘I don’t mind online companies collecting my data as I have nothing to hide’ changed to an understanding of how such data can be used to subtly manipulate both children & adults, to execute ‘choices’ which we seldom realise were never choices! I wish Citizen Digital Foundation all the very best in this novel attempt to check digital abuse and hope you connect to the larger society quickly and spread this awareness which is nothing but a necessity in today’s life!"
Sujith SomanHospitality entrepreneur, Social worker
"A very insightful session that all parents and educators for young adults should go through. I definitely recommend this."
Devi NairParent
'An eye-opening session! Engineering as we learn, tends to be very linear. We are not used to questioning the wider impact of technological innovations, the way we did today. Now that I’m thinking, I have so many questions!'
IEDC AmbassadorKerala Startup Mission
"Really enlightening with regard to the future danger of a having a set of people who are obsessed with the use of technology and not experiencing the real world. Technology should work for all and not vice-versa."
Member EntrepreneurYoung Indians
"It makes us uneasy when we realise how closely our online actions are watched and used. But that’s more reason to be vigilant. Your sessions need to be intensively penetrated among the real vulnerable groups… like students, undereducated etc."
Participating Assistant ProfessorDirectorate of College Education
'We often hear stern warnings from parents and teachers about our digital use, but our lives are mostly online so we can do little about it. You explained the issues in a fun a relatable way, and we understand why we need to be more careful.'
Annie ThomasStudent, Mar Ivanios College
‘Good and informative. Learner friendly environment of class is commendable.’
ParticipantJournalism student, Mathrubhumi Media School
‘The session was absolutely awesome. A lot of new information were there, and the presentation was really engaging. And thank you for being so kind and friendly to us. Apart from the content, your way of talking inspired me a lot. I am here after my BA in Language and Literature. Many people discouraged me from doing an MBA after BA. But I believe in my potential and hope that I would excel this course. Your session gave me a better idea. Thankyou❤️.’
ParticipantMBA Student, Asian School of Business
"As the young generation battles with more and more complex digital assaults on their time and attention, they need to be aware of movements like Citizen Digital Foundation that can empower them to take back control. It was a timely and relevant session for the students whose rapt attention was testament to the importance they understood. Ample examples and relatable stories ensured the seriousness of the issue was conveyed fully. The balanced view of the power of the digital realm to help construct purposeful and satisfying careers vs their abuse potential formed the crux of the session."
Dr. Arun SurendranPrincipal, Trinity College of Engineering
