India’s National Education Policy 2020 (NEP) calls the first eight years “a critical window” for brain growth, insisting on joyful, activity-based learning instead of rote drills. Neuroscience agrees: by the time a child turns five, about 90 % of neural connections are already set. Enter BrainyTots, a home‑grown start‑up founded by an Indian mother and guided by neurosurgeon Dr Jayant Aakhade (DrNB Neurosurgery, Kochi). With toxin‑free hardwood and research‑backed design, BrainyTots proves that the smartest toys can also be the simplest—and the most Indian.
