The people Dr. Maruti Sharma trains most often are not his Fortune Global 500 clients. They are your child's teachers. Twice a day.
UOL Institute was founded in 2002 by Dr. Maruti Sharma, with Shilpa Gupta as co-founder. They built UOL Kids for their own daughters. Shilpa Gupta is there every day.

Dr. Maruti Sharma holds a PhD in Buddhist Psychology, and is a Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Certified Trainer (National Guild of Hypnotists, USA), a Certified NLP Trainer trained by Dr. Richard Bandler, co-creator of NLP, a Yoga Shiromani of the Sivananda school trained in Tai Chi and Qigong, an RCI-Registered Clinical Psychologist (Associate), and an Organisational Behaviour Psychologist — with international training in Creativity and Project Management, Switzerland, 2003. In private practice since 2002.
Before any of her titles, Shilpa is a mother and a teacher. She has been teaching since 2002 — six to eight hours a day, for more than two decades, which is well over 30,000 hours in front of students of every age. She treats every child the way she would want her own to be treated: seen, believed in, and never written off.
This is not a claim made by many. Practitioners, psychologists, coaches, and educators from across India and internationally seek out Dr. Maruti Sharma specifically. This is the mind behind UOL Kids. The teaching he has refined since 2002 now shapes how your child's teachers are trained.
MARC describes how our teachers work with a child through the day. The adult goes first: our teachers train with Dr. Maruti Sharma twice every day.
The teacher's part. The teacher shows awareness, regulation and capacity in small ways, many times a day, so that a child can copy them and take them in. Then the teacher makes room to practise inside play.
What is happening? What do I notice about myself, about others, about this situation?
How can I manage my attention, my feelings and my actions, with help where I need it?
What have I learned that could help here, and how must I change it to fit?

UOL Institute (University of Life) has an MoU with the Department of Buddhist Studies, University of Jammu. Its purpose is "to promote research in applied Buddhist principles, psychology, and practices". The University announced it on 13 February 2025.

More than 1 million new neural connections are formed every second in the first few years of life.
By 3 years of age, a child's brain is already more than 80 percent of adult size. By 5 years of age, it's grown to about 90 percent of adult size.
Early childhood is a period of rapid development and a time when family lifestyle patterns can be adapted to boost health gains.

The methodology behind UOL Kids was not built in a classroom. It was forged since 2002, across more than two decades of work with institutions, leaders, and diplomats.
"The same rigour. The same depth. Applied to your child from the very first day."
UOL Kids is built on the combined life's work of two people: Dr. Maruti Sharma, an RCI-Registered Clinical Psychologist (Associate), and Shilpa Gupta, the educator who signed the institute's MoU with the University of Jammu.
"We did not build UOL Kids because it was a good idea.
We built it because it did not exist — and our daughters needed it."
Our first daughter was the spark behind the UOL Institute's evening school. We wanted a place where she could play freely with other children — away from screens, junk, and noise. A place where movement and real connection were built into every day. When we eventually sent her to a regular preschool, we saw clearly what was missing. The preschool every child deserves simply did not exist in our city. So we built it.
By the time our second daughter arrived, the preschool was ready. She loved it. But every afternoon, when it was time to leave, she would cry — she did not want the day to end. She wanted more. More time, more play, more of everything the school gave her. We listened. A child who cries because school is over is telling you something important. That is how the day care came into being.
UOL Institute was founded in 2002 by Dr. Maruti Sharma, with Shilpa Gupta as co-founder.
We have spent our working lives with teenagers, adults and families from across the world. Again and again, when we asked where a difficulty had begun, the answer lay in the first six to ten years of life. Change is possible later. It is slower, and it costs more. In the early years it is simply how a child is brought up.
It is easier to build well than to repair. That belief built UOL Kids.
For a newborn, the World Health Organization and UNICEF recommend breast milk alone for the first six months of life: "no other foods or liquids are provided, including water." Later in life the same person will eat almost anything. At the start, everything that goes in is chosen with care.
We hold a child's early years to the same standard. What a small child takes in from the adults around them is chosen with the same care. The self-control, the habits and the inner life of your child's teachers are not background. They are the curriculum. This is the philosophy of UOL Kids.
You have seen who will look after your child. Only a few seats left. The conversation begins today.
