Raising Kids & Raising Hope: Meet India’s Inspiring Parenting Coaches
Parenting is a contact sport. There are no uniforms, no timeouts, and no referees. One moment you are interpreting toddler tantrums; the next, you are managing the emotional battlefield of adolescence. From “eat your broccoli” to “why can’t you speak to me anymore,” most parents wind up juggling guilt, fatigue, and a fervent prayer that they are not completely ruining everything.
Come in the parenting coaches, the individuals who have dedicated their life’s work to cracking this code and assisting parents in remembering not only methods, but also viewpoints. But it gets interesting: these days’ most powerful voices in parenting aren’t merely coaches, they are motivational speakers who are encouraging parents to become better, listen more, and lead with kindness. They are not advocating for perfection; they are imparting improvement.
In India, this movement is growing fast. We are finally acknowledging that parenting is not about control; it’s about connection. And these speakers are leading that change. They blend science, storytelling, psychology, and life lessons to help parents evolve alongside their children.
So, if you have ever wanted someone to assist you in staying centered when your kid’s throwing peas on the wall, or when your teenager won’t make eye contact, this list is for you.
Here are eight Indian parenting coaches and motivational speakers who are redefining what it means to raise a child in today’s world.
1. Anju Kish
If you have ever squirmed while trying to explain “the talk” to your kid, Anju Kish is your saviour. She is one of India’s first certified sex educators, a storyteller, and a passionate advocate for body safety, consent, and puberty education. Her energy is infectious and her honesty disarming. With her initiative “Untaboo,” Anju is on a mission to make conversations around sex and body awareness as natural as conversations about school or sports. (Image courtesy: indianexpress)
She’s witty, honest, and profoundly empathetic, a combination that makes even the most uncomfortable subjects feel human, warm, and essential.
Her book, How I Got My Belly Button, is a beautiful, illustrated book that encourages kids (and adults) to discuss puberty, growing up, and the things nobody taught you.
2. Anand Neelakantan
The author who reimagined mythology now assists us in rewriting stories about parenting. India’s bestseller of mythology and historical fiction, Anand Neelakantan, has made his name reimagining villains as heroes and defying traditional notions of good and evil. His lectures extend far beyond the books; they touch on empathy, moral ambiguity, and the value of perspective-taking. (Image courtesy: engage4more)
For mothers and fathers, that’s gold. Because each day with a kid is a negotiation between your definition of right and theirs. Anand’s wisdom brings to mind that sometimes “bad behaviour” is just confused curiosity.
His book, The Asura Way: The Contrarian Path to Success, is a motivational interpretation of accepting the not-so-traditional and power in imperfection.
3. Parul Singhal
Parul Singhal is the parenting coach who gets the quiet storm raging within every contemporary parent; the guilt, the burnout, the constant balancing act. She’s the founder of Parenting Shastra and inventor of the BEST Methodology, which is meant to empower parents to develop Emotional Strength, Self-Awareness, and Trust. (Image courtesy: licdn)
Her attitude is serene but authoritative. Parul does not work with quick fixes; she works on transformation, from reactive to reflective parenting. Her sessions guide you to release the guilt and find joy again amidst the chaos.
4. Riddhi Deorah
If parenting had a language of love, Riddhi Deorah would be a native speaker. She assists parents in building emotional relationships, particularly when children isolate themselves in their own worlds. Her method lies in mindful communication and bonding. (Image courtesy: teachablecdn)
Riddhi is also an entrepreneur and a voice for positive parenting in India. She educates parents on how to listen with non-judgment, respond with compassion, and build homes where children feel secure being themselves.
Her presentations are full of “aha” moments that change the way you look at not only your child, but you.
5. Manish Sharma
If you prefer discipline over sentimentality, you need Manish Sharma on your side. With his DEEP Parenting program, he has trained thousands of teachers and parents in India. Manish applies the rigor of psychology and education to real-life parenting, showing you how to establish routines, deal with behavioral problems, and establish boundaries that are effective.

His sessions are real, well-thought-out, and thoroughly inspiring. He is an example that discipline and compassion are possible together, and that soft power is much stronger than yelling.
6. Coach Paras Parmar
Coach Paras Parmar doesn’t only teach parenting, he teaches peace. As the founder of Tathhastu, he is all for practical and peaceful parenting, combining GarbhSanskar, mindfulness, and positive psychology. His classes are a mix of ancient wisdom and modern science, making parents raise emotionally balanced, confident kids. (Image courtesy: gstatic)
He’s also a motivational powerhouse, someone who reminds you that being a good parent begins with being a balanced human being.
7. Neha Anand
Neha Anand is where compassion meets psychology. She is a parent coach and psychologist who works closely with families to build emotional resilience and mental well-being. Her specialty is guiding parents through anxiety, self-doubt, and communication failure in children. (Image courtesy: ytimg)
She is gentle, holistic, and human in her approach. If your home is lacking emotional oxygen, Neha restores it with empathy and science.
8. Sunil Tyagi
Sunil Tyagi is a parenting expert and motivational speaker who is convinced that strong families are built by strong parents. His presentations are all about self-discipline, mindset, and good habits, because if you want to raise a capable kid, first, you have to be one yourself. (Image courtesy: ytimg)
He encourages parents to give up the pursuit of perfection and get intentional about leading. His workshops are packed with true anecdotes, humor, and lots of “you got this” vibe.
His book, Successful Parenting and The 5 Secrets, are two books that distill parenting philosophies into useful, encouraging life lessons.
Who to Call When
Parenting is not a one-size-fits-all profession. Some days you require a coach, some days a therapist, and other days, just someone who says, “You’re doing okay.” (Image courtesy: indianexpress)
Here’s your guide to knowing when to call which speaker.
Need to have sensitive conversations (puberty, sex ed, body safety)?
Call Anju Kish. She is the authority on speaking up and initiating taboo discussions without embarrassment or fear. Her book How I Got My Belly Button transforms awkward conversations into warm, empowering ones.
Need to redefine “mistakes” and know what’s behind your child’s actions?
Call Anand Neelakantan. His narratives, and particularly The Asura Way, aid you in your transition from punishment to comprehension, teaching empathy through storytelling.
Guilt-ridden, burned out, or struggling to find balance in career, parenting, and identity?
Call Parul Singhal or Sunil Tyagi. Parul supports parents through emotional overwhelm using self-awareness, and Sunil works on mindset and habit-forming for sustainable balance.
Having trouble connecting or communicating with your child due to emotional distance?
Call Riddhi Deorah or Neha Anand. They work on emotional intelligence, communication, and reconnecting parents and children who have lost their way.
Want to create structure and discipline without severity or conflict?
Call Manish Sharma or Coach Paras Parmar. They offer real-world solutions and frameworks for nonviolent discipline; educating parents on how to lead calmly rather than reactively.
In need of a motivational pick-me-up for yourself, not only your children?
Visit Anand Neelakantan, Sunil Tyagi, or Coach Paras Parmar. They challenge parents to remember that growth is not exclusive to children; it is an ongoing process of self-evolution.
Longing to adopt holistic parenting; emotional, physical, and spiritual development?
Look at Coach Paras Parmar and Parul Singhal. Paras synthesizes GarbhSanskar with mindfulness, and Parul teaches parents to develop empathy and awareness in daily life.
All of these voices have something special to offer: empathy, perspective, discipline, or inspiration. Together, they remind us that effective parenting isn’t about being perfect all the time; it’s about showing up, learning, and growing together.
Conclusion
Parenting is reflective; you don’t merely raise your children; they raise aspects of you that you didn’t even realize needed to heal. These motivational speakers and coaches aren’t merely instructing parents on managing tantrums or teenage angst; they are assisting us in becoming better listeners, nicer human beings, and more present leaders.
Whether it’s Anju Kish making puberty talks less awkward, Anand Neelakantan re-spinning errors, or Parul Singhal reminding you to let go of the guilt, each speaker here has a purpose. They don’t offer up perfection; they offer up growth.
So the next time you find yourself stuck between screaming and sobbing, hold on. Take a breath. You see, there are folks out there who have made parenting an art of science, and they are here to assist you in speaking, listening, and growing.
