Hi, we're Lalli & Fafa.
Lalli Fafa is a personalised children's storytelling platform for Indian families — generating fully illustrated, narrated bedtime stories in English and Hindi, with your child as the hero alongside Lalli (age 6) and Fafa (age 3), her younger brother.
We started with one simple belief: every child deserves to hear stories where theyare the one who's brave, kind, curious, and clever — told in a voice they trust, in the languages they grow up speaking.
So we built a platform that takes a few details about your child and turns them into a fully illustrated, narrated adventure — in English or Hindi — featuring two characters who are quickly becoming family favourites: us.
Our mission
Bedtime is one of the few moments in a child's day that's entirely about them — and we think it should feel that way. Our mission is to make personalised, high-quality storytelling accessible to every family, in the languages spoken at home, without ads, gimmicks, or screen-time guilt.
Every story your child generates is unique to them — built from their name, age, favourite things, and the lesson you want to gently weave in, then illustrated and narrated end-to-end by AI we've spent a long time tuning to feel warm rather than mechanical.
What we stand for
Every child is the hero
Not a generic character with their name slapped on — a story genuinely built around who your child is, what they love, and what they're learning.
Bilingual from day one
English and Hindi aren't an afterthought. Both are first-class — narrated with care, not just translated subtitles.
Safe, ad-free, calm
No ads, no autoplay into unrelated content, no surprises. Just a story, told gently, and then quiet.
Made for Indian families
Themes, values, festivals, and characters that feel familiar — alongside the universal magic every child responds to.
Meet Lalli & Fafa
Everything you've ever wanted to know about the two friends at the heart of every story.
Who is Lalli?
Lalli is a six-year-old girl with a big heart and an even bigger sense of adventure. She is Fafa's elder sister — the one who leads the way, keeps things (mostly) in order, and finds magic in the tiniest corners of everyday life. You will recognise her by her dark brown hair in two playful ponytails, her cheerful dresses with star and flower prints, and the little blue sling bag she carries everywhere — packed with crayons, shiny pebbles, and whatever she has decided is a magical find that day.
Who is Fafa?
Fafa is three years old, Lalli's little brother, and the cause of at least half the adventures they go on — usually by accident. He is curious, bouncy, and wonderfully clumsy. He once tried to wash his shoes in the teapot. He asks questions like why do stars twinkle and whether clouds can tickle. He finds something magical in almost everything he looks at, and his big round eyes and chubby-cheeked grin are impossible to say no to.
Are Lalli and Fafa siblings?
Yes! Lalli is the elder sister at six, and Fafa is her three-year-old little brother. Their sibling bond is the emotional heart of every story — Lalli is protective and a little bossy, Fafa is chaotic and endlessly loveable, and together they balance each other out perfectly. They argue sometimes (mostly about whether to follow the path or chase the butterfly), but they always find their way back to each other.
How old are Lalli and Fafa?
Lalli is around six years old — old enough to lead the way and explain things to Fafa, young enough to still believe a shiny pebble might be magical. Fafa is three — at that perfect age where everything is a discovery and nothing is too strange to investigate. The three-year gap between them is what creates the warmth and the comedy of their adventures.
What is Lalli like as a big sister?
Lalli is the kind of big sister who holds your hand in the scary part, rolls her eyes when you trip over your own feet, and then quietly makes sure you are okay. She is responsible, brave, and a natural leader — but she can be a little bossy when she thinks she knows best (which is most of the time). She teaches Fafa things in her very serious teacher voice, collects leaves and buttons as magical tools, and explains the world through the most vivid metaphors. She is never mean — just wonderfully, warmly certain that she is right.
What is Fafa like as a little brother?
Fafa is the kind of little brother who accidentally starts the adventure, then has no idea that is what just happened. He pulls the mysterious rope, opens the door nobody else noticed, and chases the butterfly straight into the enchanted forest. His mistakes are never mean — they are funny, innocent, and full of heart. He cries when he is lost and cheers up the moment Lalli gives him a hug. Younger children especially love Fafa because they see themselves in him — small, curious, and convinced that everything just might be a little bit magical.
What kind of adventures do Lalli and Fafa go on?
Fafa usually starts them — by finding a glowing pebble, following a talking bird, or accidentally sitting on a magic button. Lalli figures out what to do next. Their adventures take them to enchanted forests, rainy-day forts, busy festival nights, quiet grandparent kitchens, and worlds full of giggling stars. Every story carries a gentle lesson — about kindness, curiosity, courage, or honesty — woven naturally into the adventure, never announced as a lesson.
Why does the child appear in every Lalli and Fafa story?
Because Lalli and Fafa's world is built to be joined. Every story begins the moment a real child steps into it alongside them. The child is not a side character watching from the edges — they are in the middle of the adventure, the one Lalli and Fafa turn to when things get tricky. Lalli always makes sure to highlight what makes each child uniquely wonderful. That is just how she is.
Built by a parent, for parents
Raj Kothari — Founder
Lalli Fafa was built by an Indian parent who grew up on stories — and found that the best ones available for his own child either weren't in Hindi, weren't personalised, or were designed to keep children awake rather than help them sleep. So he built what he wished existed: a platform that puts every child at the centre of their own bedtime story, in the language of their home.
