The first-year Indian American student’s speech at the recent World Expo 22 in Dubai was called “Small Changes, Big Difference”, while her speech at the International Women’s Week celebrations at the Mexico Pavilian focused on women’s empowerment.
Kiara told DailyExpertNews: “It was exciting to speak in front of an audience at this great event. I prepared my speech by speaking with my grandmother, Commander Dr. Rita Bhatra, who had served in the border security force for 40 years”.
On what she emphasized in her speech, she added: “Women’s empowerment lies in equal opportunities for young girls in education, rights, health, decision-making, wages and professional opportunities”.
Last year, the young girl had set a record as the youngest TEDx speaker. Her talk was titled “Unboxing Curiosity”, in which she shared her journey of reading.

Kiara’s doctor’s parents have now settled in Dubai. The family says the child is not being forced to set any records. dr. Little Mahendra, her mother said, “We feel happy and wonderful about our child’s achievement. All credit goes to my parents, her inspiration”.
About her dream, Kiara said: “I want to be the president so I can rule and help the poor”.
