KidZania India Partners With EmOcean To Launch India’s first Emotional Wellbeing Role-Play For Kids

Mumbai, 3rd July, 2025 – KidZania , the global leader in interactive edutainment, is proud to introduce the first-ever Emotional Wellbeing Role-Play for children — EmOcean. Developed in collaboration with Riddhi Doshi Patel, founder of Rhhyns Academy and a renowned Child Psychologist, this role-play is rooted in emotional intelligence and child development. It empowers children to explore, understand, and express their emotions through immersive, hands-on role-play.

EmOcean opens to the public at KidZania Mumbai on Thursday, 4th July 2025.

EmOcean: Emotional Wellbeing Center is a first-of-its-kind space at KidZania where kids take on the role of Wellness Trainee / Buddy and participate in activities designed to help them explore, understand, and express their emotions. Developed under the guidance of Riddhi Doshi Patel and the Rhhyns Academy team, the activities are rooted in psychology and creative arts, making mental wellbeing approachable, engaging, and fun for children.

Speaking on the partnership, Tarandeep Singh Sekhon, Chief Business Officer, KidZania said: “At KidZania, we believe that preparing children for the real world goes beyond academics and careers. Emotional wellbeing is a core life skill, and we are thrilled to partner with Riddhi Doshi Patel to bring EmOcean to life. This center not only helps children understand their feelings but also gives them a fun, hands-on experience to build emotional intelligence, something that will serve them well in every stage of life.”

Riddhi Doshi Patel, Founder of Rhhyns Academy, added: “Children need more than academic excellence to thrive—they need emotional strength, compassion, and confidence. EmOcean is designed to give kids a joyful space where they can understand and express their emotions with ease. I’m delighted to bring this vision to life with KidZania, where learning meets fun in the most meaningful way.”

Through a 20-minute interactive session, children engage in mindful exercises, role-play, and expressive activities that build key life skills like self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and confidence. At a time when growing social pressures and screen time impact young minds, EmOcean offers a safe space for kids to pause, reflect, and learn to process their emotions in healthy, empowering ways, helping them feel stronger inside and kinder on the outside.

With EmOcean, KidZania takes a step beyond traditional role-play by integrating emotional wellbeing into its offerings—championing a more holistic approach to child development.
