“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”

The programs help nurture and bring out numerous fundamental abilities responsible for managing and increasing a child’s creativity, memory, physical ability, musicality, ability to learn languages etc. These traits are inherently present in all children, the programs simply help a child access them.
According to leading experts in the field, a child’s brain develops more in the first 5 years of their lives than any other time. With this in mind, the Co-founding husband wife duo Raghav himatsingka and Shraddha Himatsingka as young parents themselves, decided to learn how to bring out the hidden potential of their own baby boy. The results they observed were outstanding, to begin with: crawling at only 3 months of age as opposed to the average 8 months, to walking at 8 months as opposed to the average 12 months. The couple then decided to apply their knowledge and expertise to help young parents with the activities and programs they design.
Raising Superstars was recently seen on the popular TV show “SHARK TANK INDIA,” where they spectacularly pitched and demonstrated the process and outcomes of their programs. Their vision was not only heard, but also appreciated and earned them a sizable investment from two of the five sharks.
In conversation with Raghav about the driving force behind Raising Superstars he said; “I don’t believe in putting any kind of pressure on kids, they each have their own abilities, and their own talents, our job is to help nurture their gifts and fulfil their desire and craving to learn, give them the tools to be the best they can be, and they will do the rest.”
“We have been happy to receive the best of feedback and gratitude from thousands of parents across the globe since we began sharing our programs, this keeps us going, and reminds us that our work is meaningful and helpful.”
Raghav takes great pleasure in the process of learning and research, he is also an avid reader of philosophical texts. His habit of reading and continually learning has been a great boon for Raising Superstars, as it has allowed him to revise, modify, and apply new innovations to his programs and unique approach to the early years’ development of children.
The famous quote, “Children must be taught how to think, not what to think,” rings especially true when we consider the essence of Raising Superstars. This is the idea that guides Raghav and Shraddha when they sit down to design the programs that stimulate the minds, and excite the hearts of the babies that endorse them!
Presently; they are planning to take their expertise to more countries, and more homes across the world, and are even launching a brand new, and exciting program for children aged 3-6 years old, this will allow them to reach more young parents looking to help their kids explore the full extent of their potential.
Today, Raising Superstars’ programs are widely appreciated and endorsed by parents, and more importantly babies; in over 36 countries. Their simple, yet effective methods, used to jumpstart, and boost a child’s inner talent and latent potential are steadily gaining popularity and praise amongst more young parents across the world!
