One Year of Sanskar Savvy: Celebrating the Stories That Move a Generation
One year ago, Sanskar Savvy launched in the United States with a clear vision to Celebrate the artists, festivals, and milestones that define the South Asian experience, to Explore the stories shaping our global Indian identity, and to Connect a growing community of Gen Z and Millennial readers across North America and beyond. What began as a lean startup has become a national cultural media outlet with more than 270,000 subscribers, half a million monthly users, and a growing editorial team. Every story published, every event featured, and every update sent reflects our mission: Celebrate, Explore, Connect!
From the Ground Up and Growing Fast
- 400% growth in editorial and creative team
- 1.83 million emails sent
- 90 original articles published across music, sports, cinema, and culture
- Readers from the United States, Canada, India, the United Kingdom, and beyond
- Reach expanded to over 100 universities and 40 major U.S. cities
- 1.6 million monthly Google impressions
Growth came through original storytelling, search optimization, and cultural relevance. Sanskar Savvy meets its community where they already are — on campus, online, and on tour.
Covering Culture That Matters
We created access and insight into the biggest cultural moments of the year. Readers have the opportunity to go beyond content consumption and become part of the experience.
We Went On Tour
Sanskar Savvy promoted major cultural events, including Kumar Sanu, Sonu Nigam, and the T20 Cricket World Cup. These early partnerships built trust and demonstrated our editorial capability.
In early 2025, we joined Sunidhi Chauhan’s Miami concert as an official media partner. That success led to our biggest opportunity yet: covering A.R. Rahman’s U.S. Tour with AEG Presents, the largest South Asian music tour in American history.
Sanskar Savvy delivered coverage, created conversation, and brought readers front and center.
