Where art meets capital — and storytelling shapes culture.
At SXSW, this panel explored how creativity, investment, and identity come together to influence the narratives that define our world.

Key takeaways:
• The rising global influence of South Asian storytelling
• How capital can both enable and constrain creative expression
• The importance of backing authentic, culturally rooted narratives

• Building stronger bridges between creators and investors
Thank you to our amazing speakers Kumar, Ramji, and Parmar, and moderator Banskota for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation.
Appreciation to our partners AK Studios, Elev X, and Jeweler Collective for supporting this panel.
