employees are aligned toward achieving the same objectives. This clarity contributes
to the company’s rapid growth and innovation.

Kaumara Bhritya is the branch of Ayurveda that focuses on the health and well-

diagnosis, and treatment of childhood diseases, as well as the promotion of overall
health and development in children. This branch of Ayurveda emphasizes nurturing
and strengthening the body and mind from an early age to ensure proper growth and
development.
The concept of Kaumara Bhritya is holistic, focusing not only on physical health but
also on emotional, mental, and spiritual development. It includes advice on diet,
lifestyle, immunization, growth monitoring, and mental and emotional well-being of
children. The ultimate goal of Kaumara Bhritya is to ensure that children grow up with

In addition to treating illnesses in children, Kaumara Bhritya also emphasizes
preventive care—teaching parents and caregivers about the importance of healthy

development of children. Ayurvedic approaches to pediatrics include the use of herbal
remedies, massage therapies, and specific dietary guidelines to enhance immunity
