An AI scientist of 10 years… who chose nature and my own child over code. Who believes in experimental learning over memorisation. Who believes in building core values through lived experience and stories, because toppers are made by marks, but leaders are made by values.
Long before he turned a month old, I found myself slowing down, observing, learning with him in nature. Virenyaa began as a personal answer to a question I couldn't stop asking: how do we raise children with curiosity, courage, and connection?
From our Khadakwasla lakeside home, with Sinhgad Fort's hills beside us, across forests in Kenya, deserts in Oman, and 7 countries — every landscape has been a classroom for Viren. And for me.

Wandering & wondering
Every country taught us something. Hover a card to find out what.
The savannah teaches children that the world is vast — not frightening, but humbling and exciting.
Teaches: Perspective · Awe · Courage
"Viren stood at the edge of the Maasai Mara and went completely silent. That silence was more learning than any classroom."
A culture unlike their own. Children who travel learn that different is not wrong.
Teaches: Curiosity · Open-mindedness · Adaptability
"Viren asked why people eat differently. That one question opened 2 hours of conversation about culture, food, and respect."
Three cultures living alongside each other. Children see that kindness crosses every cultural boundary.
Teaches: Kindness · Respect · Inclusion
"A stranger handed Viren a durian and laughed when he made a face. Kindness doesn't need translation."
Children who see what humans can build dream bigger. The skyline becomes a permission slip.
Teaches: Ambition · Wonder · Human Potential
"Viren asked how people build things so tall. That week, he drew towers every single day."
Desert silence, stars without light pollution. Children become small in the most empowering way.
Teaches: Confidence · Self-knowledge · Silence
"Viren said: 'Amma, I feel small but not scared.' That sentence is everything Virenyaa is trying to build."
The wettest place on earth. Children who play in Meghalayan rain learn that discomfort is not danger.
Teaches: Resilience · Joy in Difficulty
"Once you stop fighting the rain, it becomes the best part of the trip."
Backwaters, silence, no urgency. Children floating through Kerala learn not everything needs to be rushed.
Teaches: Patience · Presence · Being
"Viren watched a kingfisher for 20 minutes without moving. He would never do that with a phone in his hand."
Among ancient boulders, children discover that civilizations rise and fall — and that humans have always been capable of greatness.
Teaches: History · Wonder · Impermanence
"Viren asked who built these. That question about the past opened his curiosity about everything humans are capable of."
