School measures everything about a child — except what matters most.

Palak Arora founded House of Soft Skills in 2019 with a single question: why does school measure everything about a child except the skills that matter most? Eight years and 200,000+ live classes later, HOSS teaches children aged 4–14 across 15+ countries the missing skills — confidence, communication, expression, and character — in live groups of three.

What Palak writes about.

Parenting the global Indian child

Raising kids who are confident, expressive, and rooted — at home and abroad. What it takes to build a child who can navigate two cultures without losing either.

The missing skills

What school forgets: phonics, English for life, expression, emotional intelligence, logical reasoning. Why these skills matter more than marks — and how to teach them while there is still time.

Inside HOSS

Class moments, teacher voices, child progress, founder reflections. The everyday texture of what it looks like when your child starts speaking up, thinking clearly, and showing up differently.
