The Biography

Two decades of dedication to child-centric pedagogy and educational excellence.

"My work is dedicated to shaping not only early childhood education but also a larger movement—one that nurtures peaceful, mindful, and empowered future generations."

An alumna of Miranda House, University of Delhi, Dr. Vasavvi began her entrepreneurial journey at the age of 24 with the founding of Sishubon Preparatory School, a pioneering standalone preschool. With no formal mentorship or support system, she built her path through resilience, courage, and a deep sense of purpose.

In 2013, after years of research and groundwork, she founded Inner I Foundation Pvt. Ltd. (IIFPL) and launched its flagship preschool brand, Tender Petals. Today, IIFPL stands as a dynamic, multi-vertical education enterprise that has impacted thousands of children, educators, and aspiring edupreneurs across India.

Through her ecosystem of initiatives, Dr. Vasavvi has built not just institutions, but a thriving community of educators and changemakers committed to excellence in early education. Her work bridges educational gaps while fostering dignity, opportunity, and self-reliance for the next generation.
