Hi, I’m Akansha 👋
I’m the Founder of Budding Star and the admin of Parenting Mom Style, one of India’s leading parenting Facebook communities, connecting 63,000+ moms who come together every day to learn, share, and support one another.
For over 9 years, I’ve been working with parents, children, educators, and brands to understand what families truly need. Those years of listening, learning, and storytelling inspired me to build Budding Star — a place where stories become a gentle way to nurture values, confidence, faith, and emotional well-being in children.
Today, Budding Star has reached 10 lakh+ parents across India through storybooks, workshops, printable resources, and storytelling experiences.
I believe children don’t need more lectures. They need stories they’ll love — and values they’ll carry for life.
“I don’t tell children what to think. I tell them stories that help them discover it for themselves.” ❤️
