July 2026 — stories, partnerships and global Indian legacies from Maneesh Media.
OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF MANEESH MEDIA • JULY 2026 • ISSUE 1014
The overwhelming support and encouragement we have received for the launch of LifeKatha has been humbling.
We chose to unveil this venture on the birth anniversary of Maneesh Media’s late Founder Chairman, and our father— a day that holds profound meaning for our family and everyone at Maneesh Media.
It was our way of honouring the man and his values that continue to guide us.
The Maneesh Media ecosystem has always thrived because of transformative people and partners, such as Indiaspora, which has joined us as the official Diaspora Support Partner for Jewels of India – Bharat Ki Shaan, Bharat Ka Abhimaan Vol. 2.0.
This collaboration has emerged from a shared vision. With Indiaspora's influential global network and Maneesh Media's nearly three decades of documenting inspiring Indian journeys, this partnership is a natural step towards discovering, celebrating, and amplifying even more remarkable stories from across the diaspora.
Our team is touring the US and East Africa. So do say hello!
Let’s create a circle of stories together.
