Kaspersky expands Cyber Investigation Centre to KidZania Delhi NCR, building on successful Mumbai launch

Global cybersecurity firm Kaspersky has launched its Cyber Investigation Centre at KidZania Delhi NCR, expanding its initiative to promote digital safety among children in India. The new centre, located at The Great India Place Mall in Noida, follows the successful debut of a similar facility at KidZania Mumbai earlier this month.

The initiative comes at a time when children are increasingly exposed to digital devices. With over 82% of Indian children accessing mobile devices by the age of 14, the need for cybersecurity awareness has become more pressing—especially in digitally active regions like Delhi NCR.

Developed in partnership with KidZania India, the Cyber Investigation Centre offers an interactive, role-based learning experience for children aged six and above. Participants take on the role of cyber investigators, tackling simulated cases involving phishing, identity theft, and cyberbullying using real-world tools provided by Kaspersky.

The 20-minute session, designed for small groups, combines education with entertainment, helping children understand online risks while encouraging safe digital practices. The centre also aims to foster critical thinking and responsible online behaviour through hands-on engagement.

Speaking on the expansion, Jaydeep Singh, General Manager for India at Kaspersky, said the overwhelming response in Mumbai demonstrated that children are eager to learn about cybersecurity. He added that bringing the initiative to Delhi NCR is a step toward building a digitally aware generation across the country.

Echoing this sentiment, Tarandeep Singh Sekhon, Chief Business Officer at KidZania India, noted that the growing interest in new-age role-play experiences reflects a shift towards learning that is both engaging and relevant to real-world challenges.

The launch event featured a grand ceremony with performances, a ribbon-cutting, and live demonstrations, attended by company executives, media, and influencers.

As part of the collaboration, visitors booking tickets online will receive a complimentary two-month trial of Kaspersky Premium, while annual pass holders will get a three-month trial. Additional trial vouchers and personalised Cyber Investigator certificates will also be distributed to participating children.

The initiative marks a significant step in integrating cybersecurity education into experiential learning spaces, positioning children as active participants in building safer digital ecosystems.
