Welcome to The Modern Indian Parent, the podcast that challenges outdated parenting practices and embraces modern, research-backed strategies tailored for Indian families.
Hosted by Sanchita Daswani, a pediatric nutrition consultant and co-author of Baby Knows Best, and Rinie Gupta, a pediatric sleep consultant, newborn care specialist, and lactation consultant (in training), our podcast is here to help parents confidently own their parenting choices—even when dadi, nani, and the next-door aunty don’t agree!
Meet Your Hosts

Why We Started This Podcast
Both of us came into our respective lines of work after struggling with our kids' eating and sleeping habits, discovering effective solutions, and feeling compelled to help other parents facing similar challenges.
We started The Modern Indian Parent Podcast not just to share our expertise but also to bring in global experts to discuss real-life parenting concerns, milestones, and challenges in today’s world. From sleep and nutrition to health, relationships, and more, we dive into the issues that matter most to parents.
So grab a cup of chai (or a glass of wine!) and join the conversation.
