Our Story

T4Tales began with a simple wish. When Pridhee Kapoor Gupta became a mother, she wanted to read to her child in her own mother tongue. But living outside India, she struggled to find books in the Indian languages she had grown up with. The shelves were full of children's books, yet very few told the stories she wanted to pass on. So she decided to make them herself.

She soon realised she wasn't alone. Across many Indian homes, parents want to share the rhymes, folktales, festivals and bedtime stories they grew up with. But when books in their languages are hard to find, those little everyday connections can begin to fade. We believe children should be able to grow up hearing these stories in the languages of their families.

That belief became the starting point for T4Tales. Our books bring together Indian scripts and English-letter transliteration, side by side, so that even if a parent cannot read the script, they can still read aloud in their own language. Because what matters most is that children hear the words, the rhythms and the familiar sounds of home from the very beginning.

Today, T4Tales is an independent publisher of interactive board books in Indian languages, with more than 10 titles for young children. From familiar rhymes to stories rooted in Indian festivals and traditions, each book is made to be held, explored and read together. We want little hands turning pages, lifting flaps, pulling tabs and asking for one more story.

We live in a world full of screens, but some things are best shared page by page, sitting close together. We make books, not apps, because we believe that stories, languages and traditions are passed on one read-aloud at a time.
