Like many ventures, Going Home began simply: a conversation between two friends. 

We lived near each other in South West London and our daughters attended the same school. The more we talked, the more we realised we had a lot to say — and a lot to feel — about Indian culture, identity, and how it’s perceived by both Indian and non-Indians in the West.

Those early conversations quickly turned into something more. We both lived in a predominantly white area, and our children attended English faith schools. We saw firsthand the quiet concern that many parents of Indian heritage carry: the fear that their children might grow up feeling like second, or third-rate citizens in the very countries they call home.

We wanted to challenge that. To break the unspoken idea that brown people are somehow “less than.”  

For too long, India, the birthplace of humanity’s oldest philosophies and grandest epics, has struggled to tell its story in a way that resonates with a modern, global audience. We realised that the richness of Indian civilisation was being forgotten, ignored, or flattened by the systems around us. But we also realised something harder to swallow: we couldn’t blame anyone else. Our children were learning more about other cultures than their own, and that was on us to change.

And so, Going Home was born.

What started as a personal quest to educate ourselves became a mission to rediscover, reframe, and re-present Indian civilisation. We are here to build a legacy of pride, clarity, and emotional power - not just for our children, but for the millions growing up between worlds.

The rest, as they say, is history. And we are just getting started...
