south asian-owned small businesses

Diwali, the time of year when everything seems a little brighter, happier, and more hopeful (especially this year, we need all the hope we can get). This celebration of triumph over evil is celebrated with loads of diyas, fuljhadiyaan, mithai, and the sweet exchange of love and gifts between family and friends around the world.

[Read Related: 30 South Asian Brands you Need to Shop from this Holiday Season]

While we celebrate Diwali and the holidays keeping social distancing parameters in mind, it’s the best time to exchange gifts with loved ones you’ll likely see only virtually this year. Parcel them a gift from a small business you can be proud to support. And to help you with some gift ideas, we’ve compiled a list of South Asian brands you can shop from for Diwali and beyond.

As a small business ourselves, we value nothing more than companies and brands bridging the gap between our hyphenated identities and worlds. More so, we’re grateful and humbled to have worked with almost every business on the list below in a collaboration or paid partnership capacity over the years.

Not an exhaustive gift list but definitely one worth browsing. We’ve seamlessly categorized the list with children’s toys and learning tools to inclusive beauty and skincare products and must-have-statement pieces with a fusion twist. You’re bound to find a little something for yourself and all the favorite people in your life.

Cheering up the Children

In need of something for the little ones in your life? Add a touch of tradition, and the spark of festivities to their Diwali and holidays, with the gifts from the following:

Kulture Khazana 

Because you have to start them young, “mompreneur,” Akruti founded this brand to help children learn about their heritage and stay connected to their roots. (Apply discount code ‘BG15’ for 15 percent off here.)

Happyyyy foodie friday! ??Sumona (aka @sumonaseth_) here with my partner Binny (aka @binnyman).??????? It’s tough to replace my dad’s goat biriyani or my mother-in-law’s parathas, but we don’t always have those at our finger tips, and with our busy schedule, we can’t always cook a fresh desi meal. So, when @sambarkitchen sent us some of their new-age natural Indian sauces (lemon, tomato, mango coconut, pineapple coconut and madras lentils), we had to give them a try. You can literally heat any of their sauces in a pot or microwave and add it to anything like rice, chicken, and even pasta (their ‘pasta & pizza sauce’ is totally worth trying).?? — In all honestly, every single sauce we tried was delicious. Bin (who has Punjabi tastebuds) and me (who loves all things Bengali food) did a blind taste test and although our results were a bit pathetic (fyi, I won ??) we’re both were winners because Sambar Kitchen is now part of the #BinMona rotation.?? — ?Link in bio? to place your first @sambarkitchen order with discount code ‘BG15’ for 15 percent off.???
