Having your first baby is a once in a lifetime experience that parents naturally want to share with family and friends. Nowadays, relatives and friends often live in different cities, or even countries, making sharing in your baby’s life becomes a difficult job. Hiraj.com offers a useful solution allowing parents to share the growth and development of their baby with loved ones, no matter where they live around the globe, via a simple, collaborative and safe website. Hiraj.com is part baby journal, part friends and family social network. Parents can capture and share all important moments of their baby’s life with simple online tools such as photo albums, videos, journals, and more. Family and friends can not only monitor the baby’s every step from around the globe, but can also actively participate by writing comments and checking updates on baby diaries, photos and videos. Hiraj.com unique features make it easy for parents to celebrate and share their baby’s development with family and friends around the world.

The founders of the website Naveen and Vaishali relocated from India to Leeds in 2005. After the birth of their first son in January 2008 it was hard for them to share growth and development of their first son with friends and family back in India. So they started Hiraj.com to record their child's first movements, first steps, first words and their everyday journey. Since then they’ve been using Hiraj.com as a way to keep friends and family in the India updated. “I can’t imagine not having our family and friends back home watch Aryan grow up” says Naveen from Leeds. “He changes daily, something his grandparents [in the India] are eager to be a part of Hiraj.com has been a real lifeline for us” says Aryans grandparents.

Privacy and security is of utmost importance to all parents, which is why Hiraj.com is a 100% private, “invite-only” network, allowing access only to those who have been personally invited by the parents to view their child’s baby diary.
