New Delhi: All online platforms are now full of educational creators. But no one was talking about one particular thing- India’s geography. That is when Kavya Karnatac entered and she instantly made everyone fall in love with this subject. Kavya is teaching geography in a way it has never  been taught before, through her Instagram and YouTube handle- @kk.create.

Kavya’s Instagram grew like a forest fire- she went from 50K followers to 100K in a single day!  In just seven months, she has been able to build an engaged community of more than 8 lakh  followers. She has to be one of the fastest-growing educational creators on Instagram. Her rapid  growth truly shows how her content is one-of-its-kind.

Like many of us, Kavya HATED geography subject in school. But that was because of how it  was taught. As soon as she learnt to edit, she knew that she could teach this subject in a much  more impactful manner. That is when she decided to teach geography in a very unique way  through her fun short videos!

What makes her content different is relatability. Kavya has truly been able to answer the  different questions all of us have had about our country and states through her videos:  Difference between Delhi and New Delhi, Why Rajasthan is NOT JUST a desert, North Indians  don't speak only Hindi, How northeast has much more than forests.

“I hated geography in school. But this page is making me regret my choices”, these are the kind  of comments that are very common on all of Kavya’s posts. Parents comment that their kids  love Kavya’s videos. Even teachers themselves comment to tell her how they are using her  videos in their classrooms. Her videos are very much appreciated by students and aspirants,  but also travellers.

In a fun manner, she helps us in understanding how geography is so intricately linked to a lot of  our daily lives. “I don’t think geography is just about mountains and rivers. It’s about  EVERYTHING. What we wear, what we eat, what brands we consume, which parties we vote-  all are linked to our geography. So if we understand geography, we will understand our country  and our states so much better!”, says Kavya.

This relatable nature of her content has taken it to a lot of people. Her collaboration reel on the  river Narmada with the famous travel vlogger Monkey Magic went viral. It was even shared by  the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh on his Instagram. Two of her reels on Nagaland were  shared by the Tourism Minister of Nagaland. Many famous athletes, singer Kavya’s content also stands out because of her innovative and interesting teaching strategies.

She uses a lot of engaging visuals- like 3D models. A lot of the time, we see her using real craft  models in her videos, we see her shooting on locations that she is talking about, and we almost  always see her using interactive unique maps. For her reel about the marine drive rocks, she  really went to the location and shot the reel. She explained about the floods in North India by  using balloons.

Her uniqueness has also brought a lot of brand collaborations her way. In a short time, she has  collaborated with many big brands.
