Kaspersky has partnered with KidZania India, a global indoor family theme park, to open Cyber Investigation Centres in Mumbai and Delhi NCR, India. The Cyber Investigation Centre is a first-of-its-kind role-play experience where children not only role-play as real life cyber investigators but also learn to detect & protect against cyber threats and how to stay safe in an increasingly connected digital world.
Today’s children are digital natives. From a very early age, they are in contact with technology and its benefits. According to public research, half (51%) of children age 8 and younger have their own mobile device, either a smartphone or a tablet. As children grow up immersed in the digital world, equipping them with cybersecurity awareness from the earliest possible age has never been more critical.
The Kaspersky Cyber Investigation Centre offers a hands-on experience for kids: through interactive simulations and digital missions, they learn to identify online threats, practice safe browsing, and respond to real cybersecurity scenarios, all within a 20-minute, hands-on session. The activity is designed to develop critical thinking, digital awareness, and responsible online behavior in a fun and engaging environment.
During the grand launch ceremonies at KidZania India, senior leadership from both Kaspersky and KidZania India inaugurated the Centres alongside media and influencers. The event followed KidZania’s signature show flow, featuring a skit performance, a key handover ceremony, and a grand parade through KidZania city, culminating in a ribbon-cutting at the Cyber Investigation Centre and a live role-play experience for guests.
“At Kaspersky, we believe that cybersecurity is not just a technology challenge, it is a human one. The earlier we equip children with the awareness and skills to navigate the digital world safely, the stronger our collective digital future becomes. Our partnership with KidZania brings this vision to life in the most meaningful way possible by making cybersecurity education immersive, engaging, and genuinely fun for children. We are proud to launch the Cyber Investigation Centre in India, and we look forward to inspiring a new generation of digital defenders,” comments Jaydeep Singh, General Manager for India at Kaspersky.
“Every parent today is thinking about how to prepare their child for a digital-first future. At KidZania, we translate those concerns into meaningful experiences. Partnering with Kaspersky, a global leader in cybersecurity, allows us to ensure that children are not just aware of the digital world, but equipped to navigate it safely and confidently,” said Mr. Tarandeep Singh Sekhon, CBO, KidZania India.
In March 2025, Kaspersky has already partnered with KidZania to open a Cyber Investigation Centre at KidZania Santa Fe in Mexico City, an interactive educational space designed to raise children’s awareness of digital security. The project reflected a shared commitment by Kaspersky and KidZania to promote cybersecurity education and empower a new generation of responsible and informed digital users.
