Our Story — Built by Indian Parents, for Indian Kids
Where Magic Meets Learning 🦁
Finding high-quality, safe, and culturally meaningful content for our little ones shouldn’t be a struggle. As Product Managers and Startup Founders, we’ve spent our careers building digital solutions for millions. But when it came to finding the right Hindi rhymes for our own little boy, we realized the most important "product" was missing: a bridge between our rich Indian heritage and the high-quality animation our children love. That’s how Qissa was born — Gazal and Devendra, a husband-and-wife team of Product Managers and Startup Founders, created Qissa to bring the magic of classic Hindi balgeet and beloved English rhymes to a new generation through beautiful, vibrant animations.
Whether it's the comforting voice of Nani telling a story or a colorful bird taking flight, every video is crafted with love, care, and a focus on early childhood joy.

Questions Parents Ask
Everything you need to know about Qissa and how it can help your family.
Who created Qissa?
Qissa was founded by Gazal and Devendra, a husband-and-wife team of Product Managers and Startup Founders, inspired by their own little one to create a safe, high-quality bilingual learning platform.
Where can I find Hindi nursery rhyme lyrics in English (Hinglish) script?
Every rhyme on Qissa comes with Hinglish lyrics — Hindi written in English script — so parents who are more comfortable reading English can sing along accurately without needing to read Devanagari. Find them all at the Rhyme Library.
Which Hindi nursery rhymes are best for LKG and UKG students?
For LKG, strong choices are Lakdi Ki Kathi, Hathi Raja Kahan Chale, and Chanda Mama Door Ke. For UKG, try Nani Teri Morni or Billi Chuhe Ki Kahani — both have narrative arcs that work well for older children.
What are good Hindi rhymes for a school competition?
Lakdi Ki Kathi, Nani Teri Morni, and Aloo Kachaloo are perennial school competition favourites across India — strong rhythm, natural actions, and well-known to judges. See our full competition rhymes guide for age-by-age picks.
What is the difference between a balgeet, a lori, and a nursery rhyme?
A balgeet is any Hindi children's song — the broad category. A lori is a lullaby: a slow, soothing balgeet sung to help a child sleep (like Lalla Lalla Lori). A nursery rhyme is the English equivalent of balgeet. Qissa covers all three. Read more in our guide: What is a Balgeet?
How does Qissa help parents teach Hindi at home?
Qissa's Hinglish lyrics mean you do not need to be a Hindi teacher to pass on the language. Animated videos give your child the audio and visual context; the bilingual lyrics give you the confidence to sing along. Even 10 minutes of rhyme time a day builds meaningful Hindi exposure for toddlers and young children.
