What does it truly mean to bridge worlds? To carry the weight of heritage while forging a new path?

Diasporaa invites you to journey alongside first-generation immigrants from the Indian subcontinent, now building their lives in the USA and Canada. We believe that within every immigrant story lies a powerful narrative of resilience, adaptation, and cultural fusion – a story that deserves to be heard.

More than just a radio show and podcast, Diasporaa is a space for connection, understanding, and inspiration. Each week, host Aditya Mehta engages in intimate conversations with individuals who have navigated the complexities of cultural transition. We explore their unique experiences, the challenges they’ve overcome, and the invaluable lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Whether you’re a fellow South Asian seeking to connect with your roots, or simply curious about the rich tapestry of immigrant life, Diasporaa offers a window into diverse perspectives. We delve into the stories that shape our understanding of identity, belonging, and the ever-evolving meaning of home.

It focused on helping new immigrants in Canada find their feet, get off to a running start and ease their assimilation into Canadian life. A big part of the platform were conversations, community and support. Though the startup stopped growing once Aditya moved to Seattle, WA - it remained alive in the form of several discussion groups and online communities. Now, Diasporaa has been resurrected in the form of a podcast focused on uncovering and sharing interesting immigrant stories from the South Asian diaspora. It is available on YouTube, all major podcast platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, etc. and is also broadcast as a radio show on Alternative Talk 1150 AM and 98.9 FM HD Channel 3 on Wednesdays from 2-3pm PST.  About Aditya Mehta: Aditya is a Bombay boy who has lived in Austin, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and Vancouver before making it to his current home in Seattle. He has degrees in marketing, urban planning, real estate and strategy but has spent his career in financial services, social media and now real estate - mostly as an entrepreneur and partly as an employee at Amazon. He balances Indian, Canadian and American culture, loves helping those who are new to North America and looks forward to the interesting stories that his interview guests bring each week. When not podcasting, he is helping his wife Prachi build her pharmaceutical business or hanging out with his son Arjun.
