Meet Sandhya Viswan, an engineer turn educator, homeschooling mum of two and now a consultant in the education sector in one of the largest cities in India. On the Parenting Reboot’s latest episode, Viswan and I unpack one of the biggest modern parenting dilemmas: What does “the right education” even mean anymore?

She brings a refreshing, deeply practical lens to a world where schools market themselves more than ever, tech evolves faster than we can blink, and parents are overwhelmed by endless choices.

“Parents know what they don’t want from education, but they don’t know what exactly they want.”- Sandhya V., Founder of EdDeed

She founded a a website called EdDeed, that acts as a search tool for many parents to simplify school discovery process for families.

In this episode, we also explore:• Why the “top school” may not be the right fit• How homeschooling supports natural learning• The post-COVID shift in education in India• What parents actually want (but rarely articulate)• Personalized learning vs. reality• Technology as a tool — not a babysitter

From post-COVID shifts to the explosion of educational technology, this episode is a map for any parent navigating an increasingly complex schooling landscape. And above all, Sandhya leaves us with hope: we are raising one of the best generations of children, and with the right guidance, they can thrive in a world that’s growing and shrinking at the same time.
