A youth-led initiative from Kerala building the next generation of tech minds — and feeding hungry children along the way. Founded by Zidhuxd.
Teen Squad is a youth-led initiative from Kerala, India. We exist on a simple belief: that teenagers are not too young to do serious work, build real things, or make a genuine difference in their communities.
We are not a school club. Not a startup. Not a nonprofit with a fancy office. We are a small, motivated group of young people who write code in the evenings, run food donation drives on weekends, and take both seriously.
Founded in 2022 by Sidharth S (known online as Zidhuxd), Teen Squad has grown from a personal project into a platform for young people from Kerala to find community, develop skills, and contribute something real.

Every activity Teen Squad runs falls into one of three areas. Not because we planned it that way — because that's what matters.
We encourage young people across Kerala to move from consuming technology to building it. Cybersecurity, Android development, web tools, open-source contribution — real skills, not theory.
In February 2026 we fed 700 homeless children across Kerala over seven days — 100 meals a day, zero external funding. We believe technical success should translate into direct community action.
Most people in Kerala have a smartphone and zero idea how to protect themselves online. We run practical digital safety education for ordinary people — not just the technically inclined.
Sidharth S is a cybersecurity researcher, Android developer, and ethical hacker from Kerala, India. He started Teen Squad in 2022, at the age of 13, as a way to build something that mattered alongside his technical work.
He works as an independant researcher and has posted over 650 GitHub contributions in a single year. In February 2026 he launched ZidhuGram, which attracted over 50,000 organic visitors — and immediately used that success to run the food donation drive.
His ORCID identifier (0009-0004-0138-1965) formally establishes his research identity in the global researcher network.
