‘Inspire, Nurture, Transform’, The 3 attributes that define my professional journey thus far. A committed educator, passionate parenting coach, serial entrepreneur, leadership mentor and a brand champion with a sincere desire to make that difference in the lives of children and consequently, the world at large.

I’m a certified trainer for DAP (Developmentally Appropriate Practices) and help schools understand and implement the same through teacher training and curriculum enrichment. Passionate Parenting Coach: Passionate about the right practices in parenting, I offer sessions to help parents with targeted practices in the art of raising children. I’ve had the privilege of addressing parents at companies such as Oracle, Amadeus, HGS, etc. Being a mother myself, has been a very insightful and fun journey which I celebrate through my blog https://growingupwithyash.blogspot.in Leadership Mentor: I am the founder of LIFE, which is a dynamic initiative that focuses on educational leadership and organizational cultures. I am a member of the Board of Studies of Smt. VHD Institute of Home Science for the Master’s Program in Early Years Education.
