Manjula Pooja Shroff faced significant personal loss, including the loss of most of her family members, at a young age. Rather than succumbing to hopelessness or victimhood despite witnessing life’s harsh realities early on, she transformed her experiences into a lifelong journey of learning and self-discovery, ultimately developing the DHI philosophy. Today, she is a visionary entrepreneur, conscious-living advocate, and the creator of the trademarked DHI framework, which is also taught through the online platform DHI Academy. As the Founder and Chairperson of the Kiran Group, she has played a pioneering role in shaping future-ready learners, impacting the lives of more than 140,000 students. A bestselling author, her acclaimed parenting books, Baby Steps to Big Dreams and Safe Teen Steps, have inspired parents and families to raise curious, confident, and resilient children.
