Noida founder explains 15-day no-call rule for daughter

The Story in Brief

Noida-based entrepreneur Rohit Gupta says he will not call his daughter for 15 days after taking her to boarding school. In a LinkedIn post, Gupta, founder and COO of educational consultancy College Vidya, said regular calls could pull her back from building friendships, routines and an independent life. He wrote that he had attended boarding school himself and understood the difficulty of staying away while a child adjusts. Gupta said his family opposed the decision, which he described as personally difficult but intended to support his daughter’s future. Hindustan Times reported varied social media reactions, including support for reduced parental intervention and limited phone access.

The Indian Opinion

The loudest reactions turn this into either a lesson in strong parenting or proof of cold parenting. Neither conclusion follows from one father’s LinkedIn post. A 15-day break may help some children settle, while others may need reassurance, especially in an unfamiliar school. The sensible test is not whether the rule sounds tough online, but whether the school has a clear way to contact the child and whether she is coping after 15 days.
