Join Kahani Circle - stories, community, and early access for diaspora families
We’re South Asian parents raising children in the diaspora too
As a 4th generation Gujarati-Kenyan married to a 1st generation Tamil-American, we dreamed of giving our daughters a deep connection to every part of their heritage, but the stories we found was never the right fit.
We started Hey Kahani because our kids deserve stories that feel like them - full of our values, festivals, heroes, and humor. Not a simplified version of culture. The real thing.
Join us in preserving our culture and traditions for the next generation of diaspora kids.
FAQ's
We know how beautifully diverse South Asian families are. Every Kahani launches in English first, with upcoming stories in Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Urdu, and Bengali. Our goal is to help your child recognize familiar words, sounds, and names while enjoying stories that feel like home.
