New Delhi [India], April 17: In August 2024, India’s first premium digital parenting magazine, Mapabear, was launched to revolutionize modern parenting and pet care. Published by Inquisitive Monkke Pvt. Ltd., Mapabear bridges the gap between expert-verified content and the evolving needs of parents and pet parents in India. At its core, Mapabear aims to spark meaningful conversations on parenting, pet care, and social issues while providing medically verified resources. The platform resonates deeply with urban, evolved, and socially conscious families, making it a trusted guide through raising children and pets.
Founders Sharannya Kannan and Krishna Raghavan envisioned building a supportive community of parents, a vision deeply rooted in their own challenging experiences as first-time parents. Navigating the complexities of parenthood without adequate support became acutely apparent when their daughter, at ten months, underwent a six-hour skull surgery for Unilateral Craniosynostosis. This deeply personal journey not only marked their own birth as parents but also ignited a powerful drive to create a reliable and informative resource for others.
Sharannya brings a decade of multifaceted expertise in entertainment, digital content, and event management to her pioneering platform that delivers both guidance and community to parents. Her impressive trajectory includes key leadership roles—Artist Manager, Associate Creative Head, and Executive Producer—at industry powerhouses like Rashmi Sharma Telefilms, Sphere Origins, and Dreams Vault Media. More recently, as Account Manager at Tots India, Sharannya has focused her considerable talents on creating meaningful parent-child content, further cementing her commitment to enriching family experiences through thoughtful media.
A Grand Inauguration
The launch, a prestigious event, brought together some of the most influential voices in the parenting and childcare space. The panel was hosted by Priyanka Bharwani and Yuvika Abrol, featuring celebrity mom Debina Bonnerjee, parenting influencer Smriti Khanna, content creator Shrima Rai, child psychologist Shweta Gandhi, mental health counsellor Jill Sanghvi, and paediatrician Dr Vinit Samdhani. Among the guests there were many notable parent content creators Vivin Mathias, Sonal Kaushal, Tanvi Thakkar, Sneha Khan, Avantika Bahuguna, Ritcha Verma and Zahra Jani.
