About

I didn't stumble into π„ππ“π‘π„ππ‘π„ππ„π”π‘π’π‡πˆπ. I built my way into it, and then built again. 𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐝π₯𝐞𝐝𝐫𝐲 launched on November 14, 2024, World Children's Day. Babies and kids deserve ππ‘π„π•π„ππ“πˆπ•π„ 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄 solutions (enough of the reactive ones). Every product we create answers: what does a child's body actually need? But doodledry didn't arrive from nowhere. Before this, I co-founded a company born out of an Airbus innovation lab. napEazy started as a solution to a problem every "π€πŒππˆπ“πˆπŽπ”π’ ππ‘πŽπ…π„π’π’πˆπŽππ€π‹" knows, but nobody had solved well. A unique orthopedic pillow that can be used anytime and anywhere. We launched on πŠπˆπ‚πŠπ’π“π€π‘π“π„π‘ in May 2020, raised $50,000, sold 800 units in a month, landed in Vistara's inflight magazine, won Amazon SMBHAV's Global Small Business Award, and walked into π’π‡π€π‘πŠ π“π€ππŠ πˆππƒπˆπ€ Season 1. That first build taught me everything about what it means to take an idea from zero to market under real conditions, with real stakes, and that too during π‚πŽπ•πˆπƒ-19! π“π–πŽ π‚πŽπŒππ€ππˆπ„π’. Two completely different categories. One consistent thread: I build things that matter to people in the moments that matter most; in the nursery, in transit, in the years that shape everything. Here is what building both has taught me: The most powerful frameworks I use as a founder did not come from Warwick Business School or IIM Lucknow β€” though both sharpened me considerably. They came from becoming a mother. From watching how a developing human being builds trust, tests limits, and compounds their understanding of the world through nothing but consistent, intentional daily experience. That is ππŽπ“ a πŒπ„π“π€ππ‡πŽπ‘. That is a πŒπ„π“π‡πŽπƒπŽπ‹πŽπ†π˜. I call it 𝐓𝐇𝐄 π‚πŽπŒππŽπ”ππƒπˆππ† π„ππ”πˆπ‹πˆππ‘πˆπ”πŒ - the idea that parenting and entrepreneurship do not compete. They multiply each other. Every insight from raising a child makes you a sharper founder. Every framework from building a business makes you a more intentional parent. The returns compound the longer you practice both, simultaneously, and fully. This is what I write about in my fortnightly newsletter, for leaders, founders, and professionals who are also parents, and who are tired of treating those two identities as separate filing systems. πŸ“© Subscribe to my Linkedin newsletter: The Compounding Equilibrium - https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=6900003425665339392 πŸš€ doodledry: https://doodledry.com/
