Mr. Anantha Krishnan Balasubramanian brings with him over 28 years of rich and diverse experience in K–12 education operations, leadership, and soft skills. A passionate advocate for meaningful engagement beyond the classroom, his true calling lies in touching the lives of a broader community, especially parents, by offering invaluable insights on mindful parenting in today’s fast-paced, volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. His pioneering efforts in raising awareness about the unseen dangers of digitalization and his heartfelt mission to guide parents through this evolving landscape stand as a testament to his vision, compassion, and enduring commitment to nurturing future generations.Raised in a disciplined, patriarchal home and immersed in the relentless pace of corporate life, Mr. Anantha Krishnan often found himself distanced from deeper family bonds. It was during the stillness of the Covid era that a profound realization dawned upon him—his once-vibrant connection with his daughter, then in Grade XI, had quietly faded into emotional distance. With classrooms turned virtual and companionship reduced to screens, she began seeking life’s answers online. It wasn’t until she left for college that authentic, heartfelt conversations finally began to flourish. This deeply personal journey stirred a powerful conviction in him: when parents fall silent, the world steps in—and not always with the right message. Today, he passionately advocates for conscious, consistent communication between parents and children in an age where digital voices often drown out human ones.
