Hello Friend,
Welcome to the latest issue of Desi Dispatch. The only newsletter in Canada, designed for the ‘Desi Community‘ to keep you updated with the latest happening that matters to us.
Since this came out of my passion project (and now turning into a real thing), to make this newsletter for free (forever) I certainly need some sponsors. They help to keep things running. That’s why starting today you will see some minor additions in the content of this newsletter where we will have some thoughtful sponsors that we think can help grow the community.
I promise it won’t be like a newspaper where you will see ONLY ads. That’s my commitment to you. So If possible, please support our sponsor, which eventually support me.
