Rathi was born in India and has lived in Bahrain, Canada, and now the United States. Fluent in five languages—English, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and French—she has a rich multicultural background, having met people from diverse cultures and backgrounds through her global moves. With 15 years of experience in the technology industry, she balances her professional life with her role as a mother of two. As a family, they enjoy exploring children's books across all genres, from classic tales to science and culture-based stories.

Inspired by her experiences and her desire to introduce her children to their family traditions, Rathi began writing about her cultural heritage. This endeavor grew into a broader mission to share valuable knowledge about cultural traditions with other children. Through her writing, she hopes to inspire others to celebrate and share their own family traditions and practices with the world.
