ANOKHI LIFE

Founded in 2002 by CEO Raj Girn, the acclaimed ANOKHI multimedia brand began with the introduction of ANOKHI VIBE magazine, which was later rebranded as ANOKHI magazine in 2004. This quarterly glossy publication was dedicated to North America’s South Asian community, focusing on topics related to pop culture, lifestyle, and entertainment. The magazine quickly gained popularity within the community, earning numerous awards and recognition for its groundbreaking work that addressed the dual identities of its readers—those who are ‘integrated immigrants’ and ‘proud expats,’ as well as the second and third generations born in North America.
