Built by a parent, for every family
GrowthCubs started with a four-year-old’s question at the kitchen table. It’s growing into something much bigger.
It started, like most things do, at the kitchen table.
My daughter Lavvanya โ four years old, fierce opinions, zero patience โ asked me why she couldn’t just take the biscuits from the shop. “Why do we give money?” It’s the kind of question every parent gets. I gave her a quick answer and moved on.
But that night, I couldn’t stop thinking. I have an MBA in Finance. I’ve spent years understanding how money, markets, and decisions work. And yet โ when my own child asked the most basic financial question, I didn’t have a plan for how to teach her.
I looked for resources. Most felt like textbooks dressed up as activities. Nothing felt warm, practical, or like the way we actually talk to our children at home.
So I started building what I wished existed. Worksheets that feel like conversations. Videos that explain, not lecture. Activities designed for a Sunday morning, not a classroom.
My son Pulkit is two โ too young for worksheets, but not too young to watch his sister learn. By the time he’s ready, I want GrowthCubs to be the place every parent, grandparent, and teacher turns to when a child asks, “But why?”
This isn’t a startup pitch. It’s a deeply personal project from a mom who believes every child deserves the same life skills that the world’s best schools teach โ just explained warmly, practically, and in a way that feels like home.
๐ฑ Our Vision
Every child deserves access to the life skills that shape wise adults โ not just successful students. We believe the gap isn’t talent or intelligence. It’s access. The best schools in the world teach financial literacy, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking from an early age. GrowthCubs brings those same concepts to every home, every kitchen table, every family that cares enough to try.
