Our mission is to help kids grow smarter, stronger and kinder
Key project: Galli Galli Sim Sim
Galli Galli Sim Sim is the Indian adaptation of Sesame Street- the world renowned children’s educational TV show. The uniqueness of our model lies in our 360-degree approach of combining the power of media with the beloved muppets in order to reach all children, providing them access to high-quality engaging content.
Through targeted distribution, popular media and advocacy, we reach children ages 0-8 with important lessons in ways that speak directly to them. Using a combination of television, radio, print, digital and other media we aim to teach basic academic and life skills to children which help them prepare for school and for life.
