Galli Galli Sim Sim is the Indian language adaptation of the American children’s television series Sesame Street (famous for its muppets), for India. It is co-produced by Sesame Workshop and Turner Broadcasting, through Miditech. Galli Galli Sim Sim’s Indian production company is known as Sesame India.

The series will be accompanied by a similarly-structured radio program, a move that follows the success of South Africa’s Takalani Sesame.
