Testimonials

â€œI am eagerly looking forward to the annual coming together of the many strands of Indiaâ€™s rich and diverse culture in Hong Kong. The forthcoming edition of India by the Bay has a wide expanse in programming and embodies Indiaâ€™s glorious past along with her dynamic present.â€

Sanjoy K Roy

â€œI am delighted that Asia Society Hong Kong Center will be hosting India By The Bay for the 5th year and proud that we have been able to bring a bit of authentic India to the Hong Kong audience. With so much division and exclusion around us, IBB has brought the people of HK and India together to celebrate and to learn about the diversity and dynamism of India through its arts, cultural performances and food. IBB has become a highlight in ASHKâ€™s arts and cultural programming.â€

S. Alice Mong

Executive Director of Asia Society Hong Kong Center

Since 2015, I have been supporting India by the Bay, a fabulous festival which brings a great variety of talented Indian performers and artists to the city every year. I find it an absolute honor being able to sponsor such a vibrant and meaningful event. Not only can the cultural performances reach the local target audience, but also people of diverse nationalities. I wish India by the Bay continued success in the years to come!
