Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 14: In a world where screens and smartphones are woven into daily life, that future increasingly depends on how children engage with technology. Screen bans are popular, but here's a controversial thought: instead of fighting screens, it's time to give children a better screen-time experience. On this Children's Day, Alpha MD launches a new and improved version of its digital wellbeing app, Coggi, designed to help children build emotional, human, and social skills in a tech-rich age. Recent studies show that Indian children under five already spend an average of 2.2 hours a day on screens which is double the safe limit suggested by experts. Amid rising "anti-screen" movements and parental anxiety, Coggi takes a bold stance: yes, screens are here, so let's make them meaningful. "We understand why there's a backlash against screens, but we live in a digital age. Let's work with it, not against it. What children need now are soft skills, emotional awareness, and resilience. Screens can be the medium, if we get it right," said Yvonne Biggins, Chief Magic Maker, Coggi. "Children are the heartbeat of our nation, full of potential, curiosity, and imagination," said Jiggs Barasara, CEO of Alpha MD. "In the spirit of Children's Day, we want to give India's children tools that strengthen both their minds and hearts in a digital world."
