The scope, and where this is going
An honest picture of the ambition — and the point at which a team and outside investment will matter. This is not a solicitation to invest; it is where the road leads.
Every city, the whole of Desi life
The Desi diaspora is everywhere — and wherever a Desi lives, the same needs follow them: local news, festivals and events, temples and grocers, movies in their language, trusted local businesses, and the small practical knowledge of settling into a new city. Today that lives scattered across group chats. Desi.Net brings it together, city by city, everywhere in the world — and then grows off the screen.
The worldwide portal
Local news, events, movies, festivals, temples, grocers, trusted businesses and honest city guides — for the Desi community, in every city.
Live Desi Lifestyle events
In-person gatherings in people’s own cities, run with local organizers — a thousand cities and more, in time. Screen first, street second.
The goal
A number worth building toward — the whole Desi world, at home on Desi.Net, in every city on earth.
🎯 The goal we’re building toward
Every Desi, in every city — finding their community, their culture and their people on Desi.Net. That is the size of the ambition.
We are not raising investment right now. The focus is entirely on growing the audience and earning the community’s trust — this page is about the direction, not a fundraise.
Why a team, and investors, will matter at scale
Desi.Net is founder-led today, with real investment already behind it. To reach every city worldwide and grow off the screen, two things will need more than that:
Scale the portal
Deeper, more human local coverage across far more cities than a lean team can reach today — which means people: editors, community leads, and city partners.
Launch the live events
Real-world Desi Lifestyle gatherings need local host organizers in each city and modest funding to start — venues, coordination and support so each event is done well. That is where partners and investors turn a growing audience into something people can attend.
The interesting part isn’t revenue yet — it’s the quality and the scale
Desi.Net serves the whole Desi community — Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepali and beyond. Inclusive by design.
