How to plan homeschooling my children

Background: I'll be moving to Gurgaon golf course extension road next year. I got blessed with a baby this july and he'll be 1 year old after we shift (right now in my tier 2 hometown - waiting for flat delivery). I and wife are in comfortable engineering remote jobs (8+ yoe) and pre-tax family income is 70LPA. I'll be financially independent within next 5-6 years of corporate grind.

I want to homeschool my child (and any other child in future) because I hate schools and the kind of चोंचले they come packed with. Real learning is so less and on dramas. The effort and money I'd spend sending my kid to decent school in that area would be way too lot if I think and compare with what I'd spend on homeschooling, but I've not planned it through yet. I don't know where to start. I want to give my children core knowledge in a way they'd love. Knowledge that matters. Science, Maths engineering, finance, economics, geography etc. Language is something they'd learn along with that. History is something they'd learn with documentaries. I've no plan to make them run in rat race of govt jobs where all this useless stuff if needed. Anything that can make them skillful, employable and moral matters to me.

How do I start? Any guidance? Any groups to join? Any experts? Someone already doing this with same mindset?

Just curious, won't homeschooling affect their social skills?

This is a good reference point from someone who has done it successfully for their 3 kids. Very detailed and I found it quite helpful.

Bhai mere bhi yahi plan hai once I get married and have kids. Dotn want to send them to school waste their time on rote learning. Bachpan se hi problem solving and creative thinking pe focus karwaunga.

See normal school syllabus me we have - maths , science, geography, history and languages. Isme maths, languages are most important. So try to teach them 1-2 hrs daily on these topics. Young age pe jyada load nahi aayega. Science ke liye similarly. History and geography ke liye let them learn through documentaries or history channel.

School and college is for making friends, not learning. Enroll her in school and don't care about her grades, teach her what u like.
