Saavn Ties Up with FOSAI’s Festival of Colours to Add More Colour to Holi at the Werribee Race Course
Saavn, India’s leading digital music streaming service, has tied up with Festivals of South Asia, Inc. to celebrate Holi with Indian Australians. For the first time ever, a major Indian music brand is celebrating a community festival in the Australian market. Festivals of South Asia is hosting its Holi Fest at the Werribee Race Course on 19 March. Last year, Holi Fest attracted over 18,000 attendees.
“We are thrilled to support this great festival, and excited to connect with Indian Australian music fans. Australia has always been a special market for Saavn. We have a passionate and growing user base here and want to treat everyone to a very special Holi this year,” said Sandeep Singh, EVP, Brand Solutions, Saavn. “We have created an exclusive Holi set for our Australia listeners, and this celebration is sure to offer everyone a memorable festive experience.”
FOSAI’s Holi is renowned as the largest Holi celebration in Australia. With Saavn coming onboard as a platinum sponsor, this year’s Holi will be more colourful according to FOSAI’s secretary Hari Yellina. “Saavn is an exciting brand. Our festival has got a shot in the arm with support from an Indian business. This has made the festival truly cross-border. I cannot wait for March 19th to showcase Saavn to thousands of festival attendees.”

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
