Kiran Meena - Co-Founder & Head of ParentsNKids
Gone are the days when women were content doing household chores and any job they had. Today’s women are highly ambitious as they recognise their worth. They are not hesitant to leave a stable job and follow their passion.
Instead of following others, women today are leaders. Kiran Meena is one such leader who has made it her goal to make the journey of new-age parents effortless with her online platforms, which are focused on providing authentic information about child care and their education..
An educationist, entrepreneur and mother, Kiran Meena, the co-founder and head of ParentsNKids, is a woman of many talents. She is a post-graduate from the Department of Botany, Delhi University, and has worked as an Assistant professor of Botany at Hansraj College and Shivaji College, Delhi University.
A Mother to two adorable kids, Kiran, in her leisure time, enjoys classical Dance and arts & crafts. She also holds a senior diploma degree in Kathak. She even enjoys making Tanjore, Gold, Clay, and Ceramic paintings.
The need for a platform to help parents find relevant and accurate information about the right schools and engage with their kids in the constantly changing environment is what led to the genesis of SchoolMyKids, one of the brands under ParentsNKids.
Kiran, as a parent too, struggled to find accurate information and genuine reviews about schools and believed that such a platform would be a value add to all parents globally.
To help new-age moms and dads with everything they care about while raising their Little Ones’, Kiran Meena laid the foundation of ParentsNKids on May 1, 2017. Based out of Delhi, ParentsNKids includes SchoolMyKids, TheParentZ, SMKLabs and other B2C platforms. She is responsible for operations and the content of the platform.

RHA Technologies help organisations become more innovative, competitive and differentiated by designing, developing, and implementing successful digital transformation and adoption journeys. RHA Technologies has clients spread across the globe in various verticals.
Kiran Meena laid the foundation of ParentsNKids, intending to provide unbiased and accurate information. The core values of RHA Technologies are Integrity, Commitment, Constant Learning, and Value Driven, which remain the guiding principles for ParentNKids.
What started as a platform to provide the right information to parents about schools has now grown to be a diverse platform providing parenting tips and advice for parents for every phase of their child’s growth from infancy to schooling and learning tools for kids of all ages.
All the features that ParentsNKids possess today are based on the demand and surveys conducted on its user base.
SchoolMyKids.com is part of Kiran’s umbrella brand ParentsNKids which focuses on Parents’ and Kids’ engagement platforms. An Online Parenting, Kids Engagement & Learning, and School Discovery Platform, SchoolMyKids is Kiran’s way of helping new moms and dads in every step of their journey of raising their Little Ones’.

ParentsNKids platforms have seen a 10x growth in their user base in the last two years. Kiran says, “Happy customers and employees are the only success metric we have. Our commitment and value-driven approach has always helped us grow and receive positive feedback in all our engagements.”
As parents are becoming aware, a considerable number of them are seeking online platforms and communities for information on various aspects of parenting to provide the best data and tools to their kids.
The team at ParentsNKids is working towards creating one of its kind Kids Health & Growth Tracker App catering to the demand of their current user base. It will be a single parenting app with features to track a child’s health and growth, along with vaccination schedules and medicine reminders, activities, milestones, and more.

They are also incorporating AI to enhance the tools needed by students under their SMK innovation lab (SMKLabs.com).
