At the beginning of everything is remembering
Welcome to Himmat Media — a comprehensive, full service creative ecosystem of strategy, storytelling & cultural consulting where brands become ceremonies, and strategy becomes soul work.
How do you create the ways of your world?
Himmat Media was born in 2019 as an artistic revolution — rooted in cultural depth, strategic clarity, and soulful storytelling.
Over six years, we’ve built a multi-dimensional practice — agency, archival magazine, and program incubator — moving at the pace of integrity and imagination.
Ancestral Codes is Himmat Media’s consulting arm — where story, strategy, and design become tools for remembering.
We offer culturally rooted consulting and creative development grounded in memory, identity, and impact.

Swipe, But Make It Culture
We led campaign strategy, cultural consulting, and creative direction for #JustDate — a bold, witty reframe of South Asian dating for our client, Dil Mil.
From interpreting survey data to shaping influencer strategy and crafting one-liners like “Say goodbye to hookups in the car. #JustDate Sangtar,” we built a campaign steeped in cultural nuance and playful honesty.
The result? Viral traction, a 700%+ spike in downloads, and a lasting cultural moment — everyone was talking about it, relating to it, and every desi remembers it.

From Concept to Cultural Staple: 5X Fest
Over a decade of collaboration with VIBC led to the transformation of Vancouver’s iconic City of Bhangra Festival into 5X Fest — a youth-driven platform celebrating South Asian expression. We aligned stakeholders, community, and audience while building consistent programming for hybrid-identity youth to explore culture through the expressive arts.
The result? A Vancouver cultural mainstay with 30,000+ attendees and expanded professional pathways for racialised and gendered creatives.

FUTURE SMILES INITIATIVE
In partnership with Aura Orthodontics, we co-created the Future Smiles Initiative — a youth-centred programme rooted in confidence, healthcare access, and mentorship.
Through culturally grounded consulting, intuitive brand design, and story-rich strategy, we helped Dr. Sharma build a presence that connects oral health to leadership, identity, and long-term community impact.
This project reflects our belief that marketing is most powerful when it meets people where they are — in classrooms, neighbourhoods, and futures-in-progress.
A 360° rebrand rooted in cultural storytelling, youth impact, and legacy-building.

The Himmat Exhibit
HIMMAT: Celebrating the Women Around Us began as a storytelling project honouring everyday South Asian women in the Lower Mainland — especially those who moved through life, labour, and identity long before today’s justice movements.
What began as a social media call-in became a powerful archive of voices, revealing the beauty and complexity of South Asian microcultures — from silence and sacrifice to resilience and joy.
-
Chaa Da Cup Series
Chaa Da Cup is a storytelling series co-created with Harnaaz Kaur Grewal, rooted in tea as ritual and the lived experiences of South Asian women and other marginalised communities across Canada.
What began as one chaa session grew into conversations on memory, identity, and resilience — where stories of silence, strength, and sisterhood are shared, one cup at a time.

Voices for Indigenous Equity in Law
Voices for Indigenous Equity in Law is a student-led initiative co-developed by Himmat Media and the University of Leicester’s Pro Bono Society — the first of its kind at any UK university. It centres Indigenous rights, sovereignty, and justice in legal education, linking students to real-world challenges and pathways for advocacy, recognition, and restitution across the Commonwealth.
Remembering lit the spark, Now let’s begin the work.
We partner with those who move with purpose — community builders, artists, and vision-led brands. Let’s build something that remembers, together.
How do you create the ways of your world?
How do you create the ways of your world?
What is a code? It’s the memory your work carries.
The rhythm your brand beats to.
The ancestral knowing that shapes your vision.
We don’t just build brands. We reveal them.
We don’t just market stories. We remember them.
This is our creative ceremony.
What Our Clients and partners Are Saying About Himmat Media
“I think about all of the stories that are going untold, or partially told because they are not being told by the right people… this is about our whole selves.”
— Jennifer Reddy, Himmat Exhibit (Our Origin Story)
