Dr. Sonali Kataria
Throughout her life and dedication to neurodiversity, Dr. Sonali Kataria has believed in the power of families, educators, and communities uniting for lasting change. Through Sunrise Learning Foundation's programs, she is empowering neurodiverse students from diagnosis to livelihood, guide parents to nurture their children while reclaiming personal fulfillment, and spread autism awareness for inclusive futures.
“This is my vision- a complete lifelong support system, where no family has to go from one place to another for the next stage of their children’s journey. A place where every learner regardless of their challenges, has the chance to not just survive but to thrive, shine and live a life of confidence, contribution and joy.”
– Dr. Sonali Kataria
The story of Sunrise Learning is the story of an undefeated mother
Dr. Sonali Kataria founded Sunrise Learning Foundation in 2014 after her son Poorab's autism diagnosis, leaving her medical career (MD Anatomy from AIIMS) to focus on early intervention.
With support from her family, including son Yuvraaj who bridged Poorab's world, she built two Noida centers for neurodiverse children (3-6 and 6-16 years) and parent training.
Sunrise bridges ignorance to empowerment, transforming lives through holistic education, awareness, and family support. Sunrrise Learning is her "third baby" born from love.
Dr VP Kataria & Dr Usha Kataria
The entire Sunrise Learning team gratefully honors the fountainhead of our strength—Dr. Usha Kataria and Dr. VP Kataria, Poorab's grandparents—who nurtured Dr. Sonali's resilience to transform countless lives.
