How to Be Indie

The series was created by Vera Santamaria, John May and Suzanne Bolch, and ran for two seasons of 52 episodes, with its final episode airing on October 24, 2011 on YTV in Canada, and May 26, 2012 on Disney Channel in the United Kingdom.

The show's main character is a 13-year-old Indian Canadian teenager named Indira "Indie" Mehta.

The program follows Indie's journey as she tries to get the most out of life despite the trials of junior high school and the expectations of her Indian parents.

Indie often falls into the trap of caring more about what her peers think of her than who she wants to be herself, and consequently spends a lot of time trying to impress her classmates.

The show was produced by Heroic Film Company in association with DHX Media and YTV and created by writer Vera Santamaria, Suzanne Bolch, and John May.
