Commenting on the launch of new content on its Telugu YouTube channel, Sonali Khan, Managing Director, Sesame Workshop – India said that “It’s important to nurture creativity, curiosity and persistence amongst children especially today, when they have been grappling with reduced interactions and being indoor for over a year now, and living with a feeling of demotivation. And that’s what we intend to do with our content for children – make them happy while also building their critical thinking & problem-solving skills playfully.”

Children’s interaction with the digital world is happening like never before. From online school classes to online playdates – children are even recessing for a break in the online space, making the digital medium a crucial one to shape perceptions, values and a worldview amongst children hence, it’s important for younger children to be exposed to age-appropriate content that’s not just fun but meaningful as well. Sesame Workshop - India’s content is aimed to equip children to handle the challenges of the new normal as they engage with the playful content on the channel.
