Aditya Kulkarni Discusses Challenges of Urban Parenting in Indian Metro Cities
Aditya Kulkarni, co-founder of Paperplane, highlighted the challenges of raising children in Indian metropolitan cities like Bengaluru, Gurugram, and Pune. He described modern urban parenting as a "well-furnished prison," emphasizing the loss of traditional community support systems such as neighbors and extended family. Parents now rely on paid services like nannies and daycare, which add financial and emotional burdens despite modern conveniences. Kulkarni contrasted this with his childhood experience of close-knit community care, noting the trade-offs urban families face today.
