Discover the voices of South Asian-owned businesses in our community

24 July 2025

To mark South Asian Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the vibrant cultures and inspiring stories of some of our borough’s local business owners. 

Hear from local entrepreneurs as they share their stories, the services they offer and how their heritage has shaped their work.

From Persian-inspired art at Faam Gallery to the bold flavours of Delhi at Spice Up, and the spiritual teachings of Ravi’s yoga practice, we invited three local business owners reflect on their South Asian heritage. Their stories are rooted in culture, creativity and community.
