Hello Kids, India’s pioneering preschool chain, has successfully expanded its presence to over 300 Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, bringing quality early childhood education to the nation’s underserved regions. As India’s first “No Royalty” preschool model, Hello Kids empowers local entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses while making high-quality preschooling affordable and accessible for every child.
With over 1030 centres currently operating across India, Hello Kids is on track to reach 2,000 preschools by 2028, continuing its mission to bridge the urban-rural education divide and nurture young minds at scale.
Founded in 2005, Hello Kids has redefined preschooling through its unique blend of Montessori, Playway, and Gurukul methods—adapted to meet the diverse learning needs of Indian children. The model focuses on holistic development, including cognitive, emotional, and physical growth, and is setting new standards in the education sector.
The “No Royalty” model has been a game-changer for educational entrepreneurs in smaller cities, lowering the entry barrier and enabling more schools to flourish without the financial burden of recurring royalty fees. This innovation has accelerated Hello Kids’ nationwide expansion, with centers now operating in cities like Varanasi, Coimbatore, Dharwad, Raipur, and hundreds more.
“At Hello Kids, we believe that every child—regardless of geography or background—deserves access to quality early education. Our ‘No Royalty’ model not only supports local entrepreneurs but also ensures affordability for parents. We are proud to be building the future of India, one preschool at a time,” said Mr. Pritam Kumar Agrawal, Founder of Hello Kids.
Looking ahead, Hello Kids aims to reach 500+ cities in the next two years through its inclusive and scalable model. The brand continues to innovate in curriculum design, teacher training, and digital education tools, while also promoting strong parent-school engagement.
