About Danish & TDA

Hello!

I'm Danish S. Khatri—father, engineer, and perpetual entrepreneur-in-training—author of Ten Dollar Adventure. The photo is from one of my most memorable entrepreneurial journeys developing a 9 ft (2.74m), 360 lb (163.29 kg) air disinfection system at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

As a parent of two wonderfully inquisitive children, I wrote this book to teach them the value of money and entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship is about identifying problems and creating solutions of value. Entrepreneurship can help solve a large set of problems, and its practice can help build many useful skills: resourcefulness, collaboration, communication, and tool development.

We want our children to be creative, systematic thinkers, and resourceful individuals. Ten Dollar Adventure provides a fun and engaging way for kids to learn creative problem-solving and the value of money. Readers join Daphne in her week-long entrepreneurial adventure, helping Daphne make choices when faced with challenges. Each choice results in a new path in the story, allowing readers to experience multiple storylines within the book.

I studied Electrical Engineering at MIT and now live in Los Angeles, California with my wife—pediatrician and mom-extraordinaire—Danielle and our two Chicaloos. An infinite source of inspiration and motivation, the kiddos also serve as the catalyst for my rapidly graying hair.

To Ten Dollar Adventure planting the seeds for ten thousand journeys of entrepreneurial discovery!
