FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuesday 10th<\/span>\u00a0October, 2017<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

7 WEEKS UNTIL HOTSTAR PRESENTS THE ANOKHI AWARDS 2017 <\/strong><\/p>\n

First Round of Sponsors and Partners Announced!<\/p>\n

THE AWARDS SHOW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toronto, ON (Tuesday October 10, 2017)<\/strong> \u2013 Seven weeks today, Canada\u2019s leading multi-platform South Asian entertainment, lifestyle and events company, ANOKHI MEDIA<\/strong><\/a>, will be hosting its much-anticipated, signature calendar event, The ANOKHI Awards 2017. <\/strong>The event is to take place at the historical Liberty Grand<\/strong> Entertainment Complex in Toronto, on Tuesday November 28th<\/span>, 2017<\/strong>, in celebration of the company\u2019s 14th<\/span>\u00a0anniversary. Full details as they are announced, can be seen on the official website at www.AnokhiAwards.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the occasion of this anniversary, founder, president and CEO, Raj Girn<\/strong> said, \u201cAs we get ready to turn the corner on another year in business, we continue our tradition to pay homage to the community that has risen and afforded us the honour of showcasing and discussing its upward trajectory over the past 14 momentous years. The community\u2019s growth has been positively disruptive in North American and globally during this time, especially in the fields of media, glamour, politics, entertainment, business, and technology.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"Girn continued to explain the correlation between ANOKHI MEDIA\u2019s success and the community\u2019s: \u201cOur pivot and scale from a quarterly print magazine to a full-service content and event marketing company, has been made possible due to the unparalleled profile growth of this powerful niche that we serve, which has morphed from minority immigrant status, to full-bore mainstream monopolization.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

She ended by stating that, \u201cIf corporations are not yet focussing on meaningful ways in which to tap into North America\u2019s most innovative and influential sector (South Asians), they are missing a huge opportunity. And implementing innovative strategies across multiple touch points to understand and engage in the community, is what we are known for and specialize in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

6.00pm-7.30pm:<\/strong> Celebrity Red Carpet Reception
\n8.00pm-10.30pm:<\/strong> Awards, Fashion, Entertainment Show
