At #Udaan2026, Sampath Kumar (Additional Chief Secretary & Development Commissioner, Government of Meghalaya) and Dr. Dinesh Arora (Principal Health Specialist, Asian Development Bank) joined our co-founder Namya Mahajan for a fireside chat on building early childhood systems that work.
They discussed how states can make early childhood a development priority. Sampath Kumar shared how Meghalaya cut stunting from 46% to 36% by building leadership at every level, working across departments, and supporting parents as well as children.
Dr. Arora called for a single ECD mission that measures children’s cognitive and social-emotional development alongside nutrition, and noted that ECD now features in ADB’s India strategy for the first time.
The takeaway: early childhood needs government ownership, a mission-mode structure, and a sharp focus on implementation.

Anganwadis play a vital role in shaping a child’s early years. Strengthening these centres today is key to building a strong foundation for every child’s tomorrow.
At #Udaan2026, the panel ‘Reforming Today’s Anganwadis for Tomorrow’ had Radhika Jha, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India; Dr. Mrinalini Darswal, Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Department of Women and Child Development, Government of Odisha; Dr. Shena Aggarwal, Special Secretary-cum-Director, Department of Social Security, Women and Child Development, Government of Punjab and Rakhi, a parent from Sonipat. The discussion was moderated by Azeez Gupta, Co-founder, Rocket Learning.
The conversation highlighted the importance of strengthening Anganwadi systems, improving service delivery and bringing families’ perspectives into the way early childhood care and education is shaped. It reminded us that by connecting policy with on-ground experiences, we can build more responsive Anganwadis that help every child to reach their full potential.

At #Udaan2026, the conversation “Lessons from Academia” brought together four researchers to connect the evidence on early childhood with the decisions that shape children’s everyday lives.
Moderated by our Education and Content Lead, Sukhna Sawhney, the takeaway from the discussion was that the evidence for investing in early childhood is strong. What India needs now is more research on costs, implementation and scale, built in close partnership with governments and the communities they serve.
Which insight would you like to see put into practice more widely?

Research helps us understand what works, why it works, and how we can create meaningful change in the early years of our children. It brings evidence into conversations about policy and practice, helping us move beyond assumptions towards solutions that make a real difference.
At Udaan 2026, the panel ‘Lessons from Academia’ brought together Dr. Arindam Nandi, Senior Researcher, The Population Council; Dr. Beena Koshy, Professor, Developmental Paediatrics Unit, Christian Medical College, Vellore; Dr. Abhijeet Singh, Associate Professor, Stockholm School of Economics and Board Member (Education), J-PAL and Emily Cupito, Executive Director, Development Innovation Lab, University of Chicago. The discussion was moderated by Sukhna Sawhney, Lead (Education and Content), Rocket Learning.
The conversation explored how academic insights can shape programme design, inform policy decisions, strengthen early childhood development initiatives and build effective, evidence-backed approaches that help every child learn, grow and thrive.

In the words of our co-founders
“Every child deserves more than simply surviving the early years. They deserve the opportunity to thrive. Udaan 2026 reinforced that India has both the ideas and the will to make this possible at scale.”

Technology can do more than make services accessible. It can help reimagine how we deliver early childhood care and learning at scale.
At #Udaan2026, Gaurav Shah, CEO, @armmanindia; Shankar Narayanan, President & Chief Operating Officer, @CEGISofficial, Dr. Jitendra Balakrishnan, CEO, TRYST, IIT Bombay and Mithlesh, an Anganwadi educator from Uttar Pradesh came together for a conversation moderated by Meenakshi Garg, Lead (Product), Rocket Learning.
The panel, “Technology to Support Our Youngest Children,” explored how technology can go beyond digital tools to address real-world challenges, strengthen the work of Anganwadi educators and caregivers. A key part of the conversation was looking beyond the technology itself to consider how solutions can work for the people using them, fit into existing systems and support those who play a vital role in children's early years.

Scaling an organisation takes more than growth. It takes the right people, strong systems and a shared vision for what comes next. :rocket:
At our annual Managers’ retreat, our co-founder Azeez Gupta sat down with Mohit Bhatnagar to explore what it takes to grow from a medium-sized organisation into one that operates at scale. From navigating change to building system for the long term, the conversation offered valuable perspectives on what it takes to scale sustainably while staying true to our mission.
With our co-founders coming together at the retreat, it was also an opportunity to reflect on our journey so far and the work that lies ahead as we continue reaching millions of children across India. We believe scaling the impact starts with strengthening the people behind it.

At Udaan 2026, our panel, “Investing in ECD: The Why and the How,” explored why investing in Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) is essential to India’s development and how we can turn that understanding into action. With India working towards its Viksit Bharat 2047 ambition, investing in children’s early years is an important step towards building a stronger generation.
The discussion brought together Dr. Rashmi Singh, Secretary, WCD, Delhi; Vedieka Shekhar, NITI Aayog; and Bikkrama Daulet Singh, Operating Partner, The Convergence Foundation. The session was moderated by Supriya Balakrishnan, Investment Director & Head, LGT Venture Philanthropy. Together, they explored the importance of sustained investment in ECCE and how we can direct resources towards building stronger systems for our youngest children.
Udaan 2026 was co-powered by SIRA – Nurturing Care Collective, a first-of-its-kind funder–doer collective advancing integrated nurturing care for children from pregnancy to age six in India.
We believe building a Viksit Bharat begins with ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. 🚀
