Sesame Workshop is the global impact nonprofit behind Sesame Street and so much more. For over 50 years, we have worked at the intersection of education, media, and research, creating joyful experiences that enrich minds and expand hearts. With a mission to help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder, we reach families in more than 150 countries with playful early learning so we can empower each generation to build a better world.
Since 2006, Sesame Workshop India, the Indian arm of Sesame Workshop, engages and impacts children and caregivers using an integrated approach of providing low-cost and equitable access to quality educational content through mass and digital media platforms and the pre and primary schooling system.
Our beloved characters, iconic shows, outreach in communities, and more are rooted in deep expertise and designed to meet children’s most pressing needs. From building school readiness to encouraging playful problem-solving, from supporting emotional well-being to promoting positive self-identity, Sesame Workshop is here for children and families — as every caregiver’s valued partner and every child’s trusted friend.
Our programs have reached children across Meghalaya, Maharashtra, Haryana, and beyond, helping them understand foundational literacy, develop strong hygiene habits, and build critical early learning skills. We meet children wherever they are, ensuring that learning is not just accessible but also engaging, meaningful, and filled with play.
We are one purpose-led team united by our commitment to be impactful. From media to social impact and everything in between, we deliver many forms of impact with a singular vision (and shared goal): empowering each generation to build a better world.
Our curious minds and imaginative spirits drive us to reach new heights. We encourage ourselves and each other to think BIG in our charge to meet the needs of children and families around the world.
We infuse childlike wonder and joy into everything we do. Our ability to center children serves as our most important mechanism for delivering impact — all with an unabashed and big-hearted sensibility.
As an organization that leads with empathy, we strive to create an environment where all identities and backgrounds are respected and celebrated. We champion inclusion and equity within our workplace and for the global community we serve.
We rise to the occasion in the face of any setback. Just as our work empowers children to navigate life’s ups and downs, we see a challenge as a new opportunity to learn and grow.
Over the years, Chamki, Elmo, Grover, and their friends have become trusted companions for children across India, leading the way in education, gender equality, nutrition, and WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene).
By expanding our reach, breaking down barriers, and bringing playful education into homes, classrooms, and communities, we’re ensuring that more children get the skills, confidence, and opportunities they deserve. Because when children learn, play, and grow, they don’t just change their own futures, but they help create a brighter, kinder world for everyone.
