Riddhi Verma Ayyagari
Founder, Baby-Led Weaning India & Baby-Led Weaning Expert
Transforming how families approach food, one meal at a time.
I’m Riddhi Verma Ayyagari, Founder of Baby-Led Weaning India and a Child Nutrition & Developmental Behaviour Expert. My journey began with my own son and the challenges I faced. This turned into a simple belief: introducing solids to your baby isn’t just about feeding, it’s about laying the foundation for a lifetime of confident, independent eating.
From Engineer to Child Nutrition Pioneer
With my unique background as a former Engineer at Urban Ladder, FICO, and Palo Alto Networks, I founded Baby-Led Weaning India in 2020 to bridge the gap between traditional feeding wisdom and modern nutritional science. What started as a mission to support Indian families has grown into a global movement, with over 10,000 families coached across different ethnicities, races, and geographic locations.
Building a Global Community
Through our platform at blwindia.co.in and our thriving Instagram community of 100K+ followers, I’ve had the privilege of guiding parents worldwide through every stage of their child’s feeding journey, from first foods at 6 months to resolving complex picky eating challenges in preschoolers.
Evidence-based expertise with real-world application
Cultural sensitivity that honors diverse food traditions
Personalized guidance tailored to each family’s unique needs
Compassionate support that turns feeding anxiety into parenting confidence
