Ujjval Panth
Parenting guidance that grows with your child.
Ujjval Panth — “the radiant path” — is an independent parenting and child-development platform for families with children from before birth to age twelve. Dilip is one of its co-founders.
01
The idea & the user problem
Parents of young children face a flood of advice — much of it alarming, generic or not in their own language. Ujjval Panth sets out to be a calm companion instead: understand what a child may be exploring at their stage, find something practical to try today, and learn evidence-based parenting skills step by step.
02
The product experience
Age-first guidance
Parents start by choosing their child's stage — from expecting to 5–12 years — and the experience adapts to it.

Screen-free activities
A library of short, practical play ideas parents can try the same day.

Structured journeys for topics such as tantrums, bedtime and communication.

Product decisions
- 1
Three languages from day one
The product ships in English, ગુજરાતી and हिन्दी and asks families to choose before they start — content, names and resources respect the languages parents actually use.
- 2
Start with the child's age
Instead of a generic catalogue, the first interaction is “How old is your child?”. Every later recommendation can be calibrated to a developmental stage.
- 3
Content and tools in one place
Articles, milestones, activities, guided paths, a tracker, a due-date calculator and Naamkaran live together, so a parent doesn't need five different apps.
- 4
Calm by design
Warm paper tones, serif headings and no ads. The product promises “no spam, no panic headlines” — the interface is designed to lower anxiety, not raise engagement at any cost.
- 5
Search-first information architecture
Descriptive URLs for names, milestones, activities and articles, plus structured data, make each resource discoverable on its own.
04
Technical architecture
01
React
Component-driven, route-split frontend
02
TanStack Start
Server functions and file-based routing
03
Supabase
Authentication and data for the signed-in tracker
04
Cloudflare
Edge delivery for the public site
Verified from the live production site: a route-split React application using TanStack Start, Supabase for authentication and data, served through Cloudflare.

My role
I'm one of Ujjval Panth's co-founders. The product is a shared effort; a detailed breakdown of my individual contributions will be added here once it's documented, rather than claiming every feature as my own.
06
Current priorities & lessons
The product keeps growing in depth — more activities, guided paths, Academy lessons and multilingual resources. I'll publish first-hand reflections on building an independent product in Notes, rather than summarising them here before they're written properly.
