What I like about Mandira Bedi is that she keeps doing something new all the time. She is an actor, a commentator, an anchor, a designer and a silent crusader. Recently, she helped raise awareness on the importance of the early years of a child. These are the years that lay the foundation of his wellbeing and Bedi understands this as an artist and as a mother. Her journey, both personal and public, aligns deeply with Mobile Creches’ mission to make care visible, valued, and supported across India.
Her team reveals that by the year 2030, India will have an estimated 164.5 million children under the age of six and therefore early caregiving comprises early learning, safety, nutrition, and health. The exercise is not just about parenting but an essential component of nation-building. Countries that invest in early childhood care have stronger human capital, higher female workforce participation, and lower inequality.
