About

For over two decades, I’ve been dedicated to amplifying the cultural identity and voice of the British Asian community. I launched the world’s first Sikh television channel and now proudly lead BritAsia TV – the UK’s largest platform for British Asians – spanning television, radio, and a digital academy. BritAsia showcases global talent, music, and cultural influence while also investing in future generations through our Academy, which provides creative and digital skills training. Most recently, I launched the BritAsia Fund – an initiative that empowers entrepreneurs with the tools, strategy, and guidance to turn their ideas into long-term, sustainable businesses.

Britasia fund

Founder

Mar 2020Present · 6 yrs 1 mo · Birmingham, England, United Kingdom

  • BritAsia Fund is the new project born within BritAsia TV office walls. It all started back in April, when the Pandemic hit, and a huge number of individuals found themselves out of work and with a lot of time in their hands. As immediate consequence, people have started thinking more about those unrealised dreams and business that they've always wanted to bring to life.
  • This is why with BritAsia Fund we want to set you up for success by teaching you a tried and tested method you can use to validate your business idea and then get all the foundation strongly in place.
  • We’ll help you explore your idea from new angles, define your unique value proposition and what would make you stand out most in your market.
