Introduction to Mentoring Startups Entrepreneurs
We lived in Bhopal the State Capital of a Newly carved state in 1958. My father was a Government servant and mother a housewife. She has passed Intermediate and was trained Montessori Teacher but had never practiced.
She and her friend Tai Nafde found a need in the new township of T.T. Nagar for a kindergarten / pre-school / play school cum crèche’ in this developing cosmopolitan suburb full of Government employees transferred from Maharashtra, UP, Bihar, Southern Bengaluru.

It worked very well and began getting famous and growing so much so that my mother and her friend both began running independent Balak Mandirs or today’s Play Schools at their own homes and the demand was still growing.

The lady was Director of Public Instructions DPI as she was called – was an ex-Royal from Bhopal family and a powerful persona.
