About the Show


There are over 5 million South Asians in the United States - one of the most influential and fastest-growing communities in the world. Yet, their stories are often simplified, filtered, or left untold. Diaspora Dialogues changes that.

Hosted by Sujatha Padmanabhan, the series explores what it truly means to build a life between cultures, through honest conversations on identity, ambition, creativity, and belonging. No scripts. No posturing. Just real stories from people shaping the world around them.

"The South Asian diaspora has built extraordinary things across the world. What has been missing is a platform worthy of their stories. That changes now."
