How to Nurture Your Child’s
Hidden Potential


About the Resource Person : Dr. Bhooshan Shanbhag, PhD, CMT, CFTe
Dr. Bhooshan Shanbhag is a seasoned professional in the world of financial markets, but his most profound insights on growth and potential come from his role as a parent. He is the architect of a unique parenting philosophy that balances structured guidance with the freedom for a child’s natural talents to flourish—a concept he calls “The Garden and the Architect.” Rather than viewing a child as a project to be “built” according to a rigid blueprint, Dr. Shanbhag advocates for the role of the “Gardener,” focused on cultivating the ideal environment where a child’s intrinsic drive can compound over time. This methodology was powerfully validated in 2015 when his daughter achieved the remarkable feat of topping the All India IIT Entrance Exam (UCEED). By applying the same principles of discipline, observation, and long-term positioning that he uses in technical market analysis to the home environment, Dr. Shanbhag helps parents move away from high-pressure control and toward high-performance nurturing.
