What started out as a simple idea in 2005 has helped connect, entertain and educate 100s of thousands of Telugu people around the world today. There are spin offs to that original idea and there are also copycats.

Unleashing the power of that simple idea beyond Telugu people and to all people of Indian origin is what Tharanga Media is all about. A number of panelists at The Economic Times (of India), Indian Institute of Management – Ahmadabad, and the Department of Science and Technology (India) joint venture “The Power of Ideas” recently agreed that Tharanga Media is, in fact, one of the top 75 ideas for the year.

This is a top distinction among several thousand entries received every year. Being in the company of this elite top 1% is not a taboo, but it is something to cherish and celebrate.

To all members of the Tharanga family – investors, the Team, listeners and supporters: “Thank you! Your unconditional support is what made this possible.”

We also thank our detractors, “Your cynicism acted as a fuel to our burning desire to succeed. Thank you.”

Stay tuned to Tharanga, on Tuesday, September 11 at 8:30 PM IST (11 AM US Eastern) to feel the power of two other finalists from the top 75.
