SABRANG PRODUCTIONS
MICHAEL TANDI [Micro Business]

Sabrang is the first TV network to provide entertainment specifically for viewers of Indian descent. The network was launched in 2016 on Facebook and progressed to IPTV platforms thereafter, and currently has a viewership of more than 60,000 viewers a week.

The network helps connect the Australian Indian community to the talents, struggles and accomplishments of their own people, says Sabrang founder Michael Thandi, who incidentally was the first Indian model to walk the runway in Australia. His career gradually progressed, and then he hit it big in 2002, when he landed a part in an Indian movie and thereafter a series, in Canada. Thandi returned to Australia in 2006 and that was when it dawned on him that there was a need for Indian entertainment on TV. Sabrang was the result of that dream.
