For the 1%. The ones building forward — without leaving their roots behind.
Hey, I’m Tapan — a South Asian founder who’s been in the arena. I’ve built, I’ve failed, I’ve invested in others, and I’m still chasing the next big thing.
I’ve been where you are — making calls your family might not understand, carrying expectations and pressure most people around you can’t relate to. You’re out here choosing the harder path, the riskier one. But it’s also the one that’s yours.
You could’ve followed the script. Doctor. Lawyer. Something your uncle could explain at a dinner party.
But you chose something else. Something harder, riskier — and more yours.
Startups. Content. Writing. Scale.
You're building. You're shaping culture. You're creating value where none existed.
And you’re doing it with a name that gets mispronounced in boardrooms, a past you carry with pride, and a future your family may not fully understand — but quietly hopes you’ll figure out.
That’s why we built Nasha — a private, invitation-only community where Nasha isn’t just a word.
It’s the pull to honor your roots while chasing the high of building something that’s never existed before.
A space for South Asians who are balancing culture and ambition — not choosing one over the other. This isn’t just another community. It’s a home for the rare South Asians creating across tech, media, venture, and beyond.
Where shared cultural DNA meets rare creative momentum. Where real relationships begin — and big moves get made.
If you’re selected, you’ll receive:
A private digital community of handpicked South Asian founders, creatives, and operators who move like you do.
Off-the-record programming with people you can’t just DM — breakout founders, deep thinkers, athletes, artists, and builders.
In-person moments that feel like home. Think:
a Haveli tour followed by dinner cooked by an Indian mom running a catering side hustle.
Thoughtful. Cultural. Not your typical networking dinner.
We’re still in the early stages, still figuring it out. That’s why we’re keeping it very small — only a select few will be invited in this year.
This is the 1%. Not of wealth — of mindset.
Of South Asians who said yes to the harder path — but never let go of who they are, or where they came from.
