Purvesh Sharma is a TED speaker, IIT-Delhi alumnus, certified life coach, and Co-Founder of Footprints Childcare — India's safest preschool and daycare chain operating multiple centres across 30+ cities. He co-founded Footprints after recognising a fundamental gap: working parents in India needed a childcare option that combined genuine safety, research-backed curriculum, and real-time parent connectivity. A certified life coach with deep exposure to behavioural science and developmental psychology, Purvesh leads parenting workshops and engagement programmes across Footprints centres — directly engaging with tens of thousands of Indian parents on the challenges of raising young children in urban India. As a parent himself, he brings lived experience to every piece he writes on child behaviour, tantrums, discipline, habit formation, and school readiness. His writing is grounded in both the science of early childhood development and the real, daily decisions Indian parents face.
