We're building the
community we
wished we had.
Creating space for people of South Asian heritage to connect, grow, and celebrate their identity — through music, business, and community.
One city.
A big movement.
"Different roots. Shared journey."
Brown & Beyond is a community for South Asians across the UK who want more than just another social group — ambitious students, young professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, and culture enthusiasts who believe belonging should feel effortless.
We launched in Liverpool in 2025 with a simple belief: that the South Asian diaspora deserves spaces that are genuinely theirs. Whether you're building a career, growing a business, studying, or just looking to connect with others who share your roots — Brown & Beyond creates the spaces where that happens.
From our first IPL screening at Concert Square to Royal Diwali at the Albert Dock — every event has been a proof of concept. South Asians in Liverpool were hungry for community, and we built it.
Belong. Connect. Grow. — the three words that drive everything we do.

Our Values
Belonging First
Every experience we create starts with one question: will people feel at home here? That answer always comes first.
Cultural Pride
We celebrate South Asian heritage without apology — from Diwali to Bollywood, from dhol to chai.
Real Connection
We design for genuine friendships, not surface-level networking. The relationships built here last long after the event ends.
Growth Mindset
Whether through entrepreneur meetups, career conversations, or student gatherings — we create spaces for people to grow.
Sarthak Kataria
Building Brown & Beyond to give people of South Asian heritage in the UK a genuine home — through music and live performance, business networking, and student community events. The space we wished existed when we arrived.
I wanted South Asians in the UK to have a real home — not just a WhatsApp group, but a community they could feel.
Growing every day
Moments of Connection
A home away from home, built for you.
Music, business, community. A space where South Asian heritage is celebrated and real connections are made.
