Our Story

Our Genius Baby is founded by Hemal Shah who is a mother to a 12-year-old girl as of November 2022.
Hemal’s daughter Vanshita was exposed to early learning – especially reading skills when she was a young baby.

Hemal had studied deeply on how the brain of a baby develops and had applied basic techniques to provide exposure. As a result, Vanshita is extremely fond of and passionate about reading right from childhood, has read over 900 books and has a great command over the language and literature. Some of the friends were amazed by the capabilities of Vanshita and wanted to look for ways on how their children can also pick up. This is when Hemal decided that the benefit Vanshita has received through early learning should be available to all the babies across the world. Therefore, the realization of Our Genius Baby Program.

In 2021, with the thought to take this opportunity out to other parents, Hemal decided to set up “Our Genius Baby”. A team of self-motivated free lancers was brought together. Hemal steered and developed the team to create a platform which can serve as a comprehensive guiding tool to the parents.Hemal is extremely conscious of quality and hence her team undertook about 1 year or more of research and training, with basic tests they became eligible to contribute to guiding parents effectively.

The team performed detailed research studying from the father of early learning Glenn Domain and his books through the whole journey up to current period in the field. The guidance is vetted by high rated professionals including pediatricians, nutritionists, and child psychologists where applicable. The research has also included interacting with a group of babies and providing them exposure to evaluate results as well as over 300 parents to understand more and finding solutions to parenting challenges.
