Journey of UpTodd has roots which started in 2015 when three dedicated individuals united with a mission to transform the lives of children. As founders of an education-focused NGO, they were surprised to see the untapped potential in the children, burdened by gaps in their foundation. It was a concern that weighed heavily on their hearts, and they were determined to find a solution that would give these children the right start in life.
Parental Aspirations
Concerns lead the team to Meet and collaborate with over 5000 parents in 2 years, revealed a treasure trove of untapped potential within each child, regardless of their background. The founders realized that children’s innate genius abilities could erode if they lacked the right stimuli during their crucial first three years of life.
In a rapidly changing world, children face numerous challenges: speech delays, limited socialization, and constant digital distractions hinder their early development. Parents aspire to provide their children with a brighter future, free from the obstacles they experienced. However, the complexities of modern life often impede the realization of this dream.
The turning point happened when they encountered a team of top psychologists and experts from Harvard University and AIIMS. Together, they comprehended a fundamental truth: every baby is born with innate genius abilities. However, these abilities can diminish if they don’t receive the right stimulation during their crucial first three years. From top athletes to musicians and tech professionals, the experiences and stimuli they encounter in those critical early years shape their capabilities.

They also included 24 underprivileged infants in this endeavor. Their team expanded, involving over 100 experts from IITs, AIIMS, MIT & Stanford University.
