Last night, @theindianparentpod was awarded Best Impact Podcast of the Year at the Moms League Global Summit 2025.

What began as simple dinner table conversations between Nakuul and me about how we could raise ourselves better so we could show up better for our child has slowly grown into a space for honest, unfiltered sharing. A space for parents who want to feel seen, heard, and a little less alone.

Post pregnancy, as a mother, TIPP gave me something I did not even know I was searching for. A voice. A place to finally speak the thoughts I have carried for years about parenting, life, and relationships. A space to connect with other parents in the same boat, to support, inspire, and remind each other that we are all figuring this out as we go.

This recognition feels special because it tells us that these ideas are quietly reaching people not just parents, but anyone who wants to show up better in their relationships, whether as a parent, a partner, a child, or simply as a human being. And that, to me, is the true impact of TIPP.

Many congratulations @avantika.says on this beautiful community you have created at @momsleagueglobal .

To my partner in life and in parenting, @nakuulmehta ,co creating this space with me. And to our children, who unknowingly pushed me into discovering parts of myself I did not know existed and into doing work I did not know I was capable of.

Grateful. Grounded. And just getting started 🤍

PS A big shout out to @bingelabs.in & their young team, not even parents yet, but incredibly sharp and thoughtful minds, co producing TIPP alongside us. @divyeagarwal @aryanhainaa 💖

There are only 2 kinds of people
1. Folks who have kids.
2. Folks who choose to BE parents every single day.

Hence, breaking the generational cycle of passing down your fears & traumas is the active commitment one needs to make.

She donated 90 packets of breast milk, and in doing so, quietly strengthened a lifeline for babies she will never meet.

Singer and mother Jankee Parekh shared a deeply personal part of her postpartum journey: since her daughter Rumi was born, she has been pumping every day for 9 months—half-asleep, exhausted, in between feeds and recovery.

What began as a private effort became something far larger: donating the stored excess to a human milk bank, where every packet turns into critical support for newborns in NICUs who depend on donor human milk when mothers cannot lactate due to medical complications, premature birth, or health challenges.

Across India, human milk banks play a vital role for preterm and low-birth-weight babies, reducing infection risk, strengthening immunity, and improving survival outcomes in their most fragile days.

Yet access remains uneven, with coverage still limited across many regions, making every donation significant in a very real, measurable way.

Her contribution also reflects a wider gap in the system: while milk banks and Lactation Management Centres are growing, they remain concentrated in select hospitals, leaving the need for broader access across district and rural healthcare.

Human milk also isn’t just “available”—it must be safely collected, screened, pasteurised, and distributed through regulated networks. Without that structure at scale, donations cannot reliably reach every baby who needs them.

That’s why each donation matters.

Yesterday, I gave away 90 packets of my stored breast milk as my first donation to the milk bank, and I genuinely wasn’t prepared for how emotional that would make me feel. I’ve had such mixed feelings and have cried on and off through the day.

Ever since Rumi was born, I’ve pumped every single day. Multiple times. Half asleep, exhausted, telling myself just one more session. Bag after bag. Labelling, storing, making space, repeating. And a part of me always felt maybe my baby would need it someday.

Rumi is 9 months old now. Still happily directly feeding, but also really enjoying her solids right now. And somewhere, I just knew it was time.

I had no idea these little milk bags held so much emotion for me. Because for me, it was never just milk. It was discipline. Effort. Love. So much of what my body has gone through these past months.

And the thought that this milk will now go to NICU babies… I honestly can’t explain what that feels like.

Women’s bodies are just wild. That we can create nourishment not just for our own babies, but for other babies too. It’s kind of incredible.

Thank you so much, Surya Hospital, for making this possible and this certificate of appreciation means so much to me🥹

To the one who gave me the most beautiful name I’ll ever carry - Mumma & the one who is the answer to all my prayers😍

Thank you for choosing me, for making my heart bigger than I ever knew possible … twice.

Sufi & Rumi .. My greatest gifts, my whole heart. 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day!

Sometimes even a mother needs a friend 🤍

Meet mine - AI Mode in Google Search has become my go-to partner for our everyday moments of doubt… like finding a no maida pancake recipe for Sufi’s school tiffin in this case 👩🏻‍🍳

This Mother’s Day, maybe you need that friend too :)

Delighted to take The Indian Parent Pod 𝙊𝙛𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 experience to my home state, Jaipur, Rajasthan, at the first edition of The U Matter Summit.

We spoke with @mitakapur, founder and CEO of Siyahi, India’s leading literary consultancy, and a mother of three, about parenting in a hyper connected world. We explored the idea of the “endless scroll of parenting,” how dramatically the context of raising children has shifted from earlier generations, and what that does to the mental health and emotional landscape of parents today.

What stayed with us most was how the session became a genuine two way exchange, parents across different stages of their children’s lives sharing openly, and an engaged audience asking thoughtful, relevant questions. One that stood out was to Jankee: what does your inner work as a parent look like? It’s in conversations like these that one finds a sense of grounding and reassurance in otherwise over informed, often under confident times.

We also made a quick pit stop to pick up some local musical instruments for the kids before heading home the same night, just in time to reset for another school day.

Grateful to the organisers, @ankurlohanikumar, @arushi_lohani, and @anubhavtyagi_______ for putting together such a meaningful summit.

Until we see you again at another TIPP 𝙊𝙛𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚, soon. 💚

A year into building The Indian Parent Pod, a question which kept coming back to us..
We’ve spoken so much about KIDS… but how much have we really spoken to them?

And we reflected… and made a decision..

We are starting something new. Conversations with children, where the questions are honest, unexpected, and something we could not ever come up with.

Because parenting is actually learning from the ones who teach us the most. Are we willing to listen?

In parenting, you get proof of everything.

The spills ✅
The chaos ✅
The “I told you so” moments ✅

But marks from the diaper?
You won’t get it.
You won’t get it.
We told you. 😄

Pampers Premium Care… so soft, babies wear it day and night with zero marks. Cause we care for the real softness for our Rumi. ♥️

Spent an afternoon moderating a really special, intimate session on lactation with the wonderful Radha Gupta from @allaboutbirthing at the @allthingsbabyindia store in Mumbai 🤍

The room was filled with moms and dads asking questions, sharing doubts, and just trying to feel a little more prepared and a little less alone as they step into this new journey.

Grateful for spaces like this that make room for these conversations and partners like @hegenindia that are thoughtfully building products around a mother’s real needs, with so much intention and care. With their India launch, it’s nice to see that same focus on simplicity and functionality come through in a way that genuinely supports both baby and mother.

Grateful to be part of something so meaningful ✨
