About Us
DoctorAaji’s Development Intervention Centre is where science meets compassion! A place where every child’s potential is nurtured, and every family feels supported.
We are healthcare providers for the next generation, dedicated to empowering children and their families during the crucial first 1000 days of life - a period that shapes lifelong health and development.
At the heart of our Centre are DoctorAaji™ and DoctorAajoba™ (Aaji and Aajoba means Grandfather and Grandmother in Marathi), who combine the wisdom and warmth of grandparents with cutting-edge pediatric expertise. Together, they guide families from conception through early childhood, creating a nurturing bridge between tradition and modern care.
Our holistic programs equip parents and grandparents alike with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to support their child’s developmental journey. From breastfeeding support and developmental guidance to inclusive caregiving strategies, we help families grow stronger, more resilient, and stigma-free.
At DoctorAaji™’s, we believe that early care, delivered with empathy and scientific precision, can transform not just a child’s future — but an entire family’s story.
