First website of Tricity for parents for their kids
Budding Star which is the first online platform of Tricity region catering dedicatedly only to kids was launched in the month of February, 2017. Chandigarh based founders Anshul Bansal and Akansha Bansal, brother sister combo got this idea when Anshul Bansal was being blessed with first baby. When they searched on internet relating “Parenting”, they didn’t get any good medium to make their parenting journey smooth. They found out that for Tricity region there is no such dedicated resource/portal for guiding/suggesting the parents which focus kid’s daily problems, everyday issues of Health, Education, Lifestyle knowledge and share with other fellow parents. Parents doesn’t know where to send their kids for Tuitions, summer camps and other kids activities centres like Football, aerobic classes, Dance classes, etc. they found out that these websites do exist but their presence is just in metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, etc. For breaking these stereotypes and to take Tricity at big cities level, they both started working on this idea which gave birth to Budding Star.
Budding Star is working on three different verticals: First vertical is Kids Shopie- where a parent can search any kid’s store, tuition classes, any co-curricular activities, summer camps, etc. of Tricity. Second vertical is Contest- where Budding Star provides a platform to showcase the Kids talent and creativity. Parents can send their Little kid’s cute pictures or videos and there will be sharing of the same on their website as well as will exhibit on Social Media Channels like Facebook, Twitter, You Tube etc. If the response of their creativity (pics, videos) is tremendous from the audience, Parents will make their kid won personalized & exciting gifts and the social media coverage. Thus, making him a “ROCKSTAR”. Third vertical is Blogging- where parents can share their parenting experiences and can be a blogger with them. If any mother/father want to share the imperative experiences of nurturing, they can contact on budingstar@gmail.com as they are inviting applications across Tricity. This platform will promote them on social media as well.
