In an era where academic excellence often overshadows holistic development, Sandhya Bajaj, founder of the Sandhya Bajaj Academy of Personal Excellence (SBA), is revolutionizing education with a unique blend of tradition and innovation. Her inspiring journey redefines how children learn and grow, making her a beacon of change in India’s educational landscape.
The Spark Behind Magical Mom and SBA’s Mission
A Certified Financial Planner by qualification, Sandhya’s journey began with her discovery of Vedic mathematics at Vedic Academy UK after becoming a mother. Inspired by the brilliance and simplicity of this ancient methodology, she resolved to make math accessible and enjoyable for children. Her role as a mother—what she calls being a “Magical Mom,” or a “Wow Mom”—became a cornerstone of her mission. She believes that when mothers are empowered and organized, the entire family thrives, fostering disciplined, goal-oriented, and well-rounded children.
Redefining Education with Holistic Programs
In 2023, SBA launched its flagship program, Ignite The Topper in Your Child, a transformative six-month holistic course that combines logical reasoning with the magic of self-discovery. This program, featuring modules like:
- Daily Success Routine
- Ignite the Genius Within
- 10X Your Memory
- Vedic Math Intensive
...aims to unlock a child’s true potential, nurturing a mindset that embraces learning as an exciting adventure.
The program’s holistic approach emphasizes preparing children to be future-ready—encouraging them to learn, feel, and understand deeply. Sandhya explains, “We strive to combine logic with magic, helping children not only excel academically but also develop life skills essential for their growth.”
Complementing this flagship program is the 30-Day Topper Manifestation Journal, a tool designed to instill discipline, goal-setting, and self-reflection in young learners, creating a structured pathway to success.
A Family-Driven Vision
Sandhya credits her husband’s unwavering support as a critical element in SBA’s journey. Together, they envision making SBA a household name, synonymous with innovative education that churns out toppers year after year. Her vision extends beyond academics—to foster an environment where learning is accessible, empowering, and exciting for every child.
Overcoming Challenges
Transitioning to online education during the pandemic presented significant hurdles, including skepticism from parents. Yet, Sandhya’s relentless passion and commitment helped build trust and establish SBA as a reliable brand. By integrating modern education practices with traditional wisdom, SBA continues to redefine educational methodologies.
Milestones and the Path Forward
The launch of the Ignite program marked a significant milestone, transforming how children approach learning and personal development. Sandhya’s efforts to scale SBA nationwide reflect her vision of reaching every child with innovative, empowering educational tools. “Our goal is to inspire children to embrace learning as a lifelong adventure,” she declares with confidence.

Over the next five years, Sandhya envisions SBA as India’s leading life skills academy. With plans to expand and introduce cutting-edge educational programs, SBA is poised to create an enduring legacy of innovation in education.
Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
Sandhya’s advice to budding entrepreneurs is clear: “Consistency and patience are key. Fail fast, but never stop moving forward. Let the problem quit, not you.” Her emphasis on integrity, exceptional value, and service underscores her journey from a passionate mother to an entrepreneurial trailblazer.
