Our Team

Darshan Bawa
Founder

Darshan is a passionate entrepreneur, mindfulness advocate, and devoted mother who has dedicated her career to nurturing children's emotional and cognitive development. As the founder of BodhiShishu, her social venture focused on child wellness programs, she designs innovative courses that help children aged 4-18 build emotional intelligence, confidence, and focus through scientifically-backed techniques.

With multiple successful ventures in the wellness space, Darshan brings a unique perspective to child development. Her belief that "transformation begins with children" led her to create BodhiShishu's groundbreaking curriculum, which makes meditation and mindfulness accessible to young minds worldwide. 

Under her leadership, BodhiShishu was selected for incubation at Stanford University and IIM Bangalore's prestigious NSRCEL program, ranking among the top 20 startups from thousands of applicants globally. A certified Emotional Intelligence practitioner from UC Berkeley, Darshan combines academic rigour with maternal insight to create programs that resonate with both children and parents. 

When she's not spearheading initiatives to help children lead more joyous, balanced lives, she enjoys applying these same principles with her own family as a hands-on mother and wife. Darshan's vision extends beyond education - she's building a movement to equip the next generation with the emotional tools they need to thrive in an increasingly complex world.
