Our Story
iThrive began with one mother’s search for something more.
When Ketki Agarwal set out to find help for her children, she was met with long waits, conflicting opinions, and systems that looked at deficits instead of strengths. It often felt like no one was seeing her children as whole people.
In 2025, iThrive opened its doors in Ahmedabad. What started as a personal mission has become a child development centre that combines professional expertise with deep empathy.
Today, iThrive offers therapy services, special education, parent support, and assessments under one roof helping families navigate challenges without feeling alone.
Our Philosophy
At iThrive, we don’t believe in “fixing” children. We believe in understanding them and in helping them build skills and confidence at their own pace. We believe families deserve clear information, not jargon. Warmth, not judgment. And practical support, not endless waiting.
Everything we do is guided by these principles:
- Strength-Based Support: We start with what your child can do and build from there.
- Collaboration: Families are our partners. We listen first.
- Inclusivity: Every child belongs here, whether or not they have a diagnosis.
- Evidence-Informed Care: Our approach blends research, experience, and empathy.
