A Synapse Edutainment Private Limited Brand

✨ The World of Dr Sona Says

Where fun adventures build smart habits for a happy, healthy life — with Dr. Sona, Sasha & Germu!

ABOUT DR SONA SAYS

'Dr Sona Says' is not just a brand - it is a movement to raise a healthier generation.

Founded by a pediatrician who believes that health education should begin in childhood, Dr Sona Says transforms complex medical concepts into joyful stories, playful characters, and everyday habits that children can understand and love.

In a world where healthcare often begins after illness, we are building something different -

👉 A preventive health revolution that starts early, feels fun, and stays for life.

From colourful storybooks, playful characters, interactive toys and tools, school programs, and digital content, our goal is simple yet powerful:

👉 Make every child a "Health Hero" - curious, confident, and conscious about their well-being.

Because when children learn why and how to care for their bodies and be healthy early in life, they do not just grow - they thrive.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

The doctor, storyteller, and visionary behind Dr Sona Says.

Dr. Sonali Paradhi Mhatre

Dr. Sonali Paradhi Mhatre

Pediatrician | Neonatologist | Storyteller | Health Educator

With years of experience caring for children and newborns, and a deep belief that prevention is the most powerful form of care, Dr. Sonali recognized a critical gap:

Children were being treated for illnesses, but not being taught how to prevent them.

Most illnesses are preventable. But prevention does not start in hospitals. It starts in childhood habits, daily routines, and simple awareness.

Driven by this vision, she created Dr Sona Says - a world where:

  • A doctor becomes a storyteller and a friendly guide.
  • A puppy becomes a friend and a "super sniffer" for germs.
  • Learning becomes playful.
  • Health becomes a habit, not a lecture.
  • Children become active participants in their own health.

Through her signature characters - Dr Sona and Sasha the Super Sniffer - she brings science to life in a way children can feel, remember, and practice every day.
