About the event
Chitti Ayee Hai is a premium, vintage-themed royal mehfil—a soulful, seated live auditorium evening dedicated to Ghazal, Qawwali, and Sufi music.
Here are the key details:
- When & Where: Saturday, 19 September 2026, at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Bhavan in Bengaluru (a landmark venue with a ~1,254-seat capacity).
- The Headliner: The evening is guided by Dr. Kaleem Pasha—an actor, singer, published author (9 books), and trained sarod player—alongside a Grand Qawwali Troupe. He brings national media credibility (profiled by The Wire and The Tribune).
- What happens during the evening:
- A live ensemble featuring harmonium, tabla, and chorus in true mehfil style.
- A special "Chitti" reading brought to life on stage.
- Themed vintage photo-op and selfie zones across the venue.
- An Art Exhibition & Sale that opens at 5:00 PM on the 2nd floor (where your stall would be placed), running until the show starts.
- Celebrity presence and special guests.
- The Vibe & Purpose: It’s positioned as "more than an event—it's a movement." The organizers (House of Bengaluru) have deliberately blended Hindi, Urdu, and Kannada to match Bengaluru's diverse, cross-community audience. It's not a mass concert; it's an intimate, curated premium cultural experience designed to connect communities, artists, and brands.
- The Audience: Expect 1,000+ engaged attendees—families, professionals, entrepreneurs, influencers, art enthusiasts, and community leaders who are passionate about culture and the arts.
Why should you sponsor?
1. Access to a Premium, "Hard-to-Reach" Audience (Quality over Quantity)
This is not a mass, transactional concert. It is a curated, seated mehfil attracting 1,000+ engaged, high-intent attendees, including:
- Families & Residents (rooted, community-minded).
- Professionals & Entrepreneurs (decision-makers and networkers).
- Influencers & Creators (digital voices with strong local pull).
- Art & Culture Enthusiasts (passionate followers of Ghazal, Qawwali, and Sufi).
Sponsors get direct, meaningful face-time with an audience that has disposable income and deep cultural values—not just passive scrolls.
2. Instant Credibility & Zero "Trust Friction"
Many events struggle with venue obscurity or unknown artists. Yours does the opposite:
- The Venue: Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Bhavan is a landmark, ~1,254-capacity public auditorium in Bengaluru. It lends instant legitimacy.
- The Headliner: Dr. Kaleem Pasha isn't a cold booking. He is a national-media-profiled actor, author, and singer (featured by The Wire and The Tribune). Associating your brand with him positions you as a patron of real, credible art, not just another commercial billboard.
3. A "Movement," Not Just an Ad Spot
As your flyer perfectly states: "This is more than an event, it's a movement!"
The evening blends Hindi, Urdu, and Kannada to genuinely reflect Bengaluru's multicultural soul. Sponsors aren't just buying a logo slot; they are aligning with heritage, community, and timeless emotions. When a brand supports a vintage-themed royal mehfil, the audience perceives them as a cultural steward, which builds deep, lasting brand love that mass-media advertising simply cannot buy.
4. 360-Degree Visibility that Lasts Beyond the Night
The sponsorship isn't limited to the 5-hour event window. Your brand gets:
- Pre-Event: Social media features, promotional reels, and website integration (full-spectrum owned channels).
- During the Event: Stage/backdrop presence, emcee mentions, and on-ground activations.
- Post-Event: Formal acknowledgements, recap videos, and social content that lives on forever.
This ensures your brand stays top-of-mind long after the final qawwali ends.
5. Flexible, Scalable Investment with Exclusive Category Rights
Whether a brand wants a massive presence or a strategic entry point, you have a package for them:
- Title Partner (₹10.5L), Associate (₹7.5L), or Cultural Partner (₹2.75L).
- À la carte options (Drink/Food Sponsor, Logo on Flyer/TV, Radio Shoutouts).
- 10x10 ft Stall (₹25,000) for direct product showcasing inside the 2nd-floor art exhibition.
Plus, sponsors get category exclusivity—meaning they won't be competing with a direct competitor on the night.
