This paper was presented during the conference on Typography Day 2014 held at the Symbiosis Institute of Design, Pune. This paper introduces us to a script that was born in 2010 in the Neilgherries-The Kota script.  The Kotas, a predominant tribe of the Nilgiris are recognized as the neighbor of the Todas, but they are indeed unlike their neighbor and show unique characteristics while maintaining a distinct identity of their own. Besides insights into the Kota culture, this paper introduces the Kota script and presents the influences it has drawn from the Tamil script.
