For 17 years, tabla! has been more than just a publication; it has been a vibrant mirror reflecting the heart of Singapore’s diverse Indian community.
Since its inception on Oct 10, 2008, the newspaper has expertly navigated the rich tapestry of Indian cultures, celebrating the unique heritage of different communities while uniting both local and expatriate Indians in a shared space of news and celebration.
Beyond serving as a news source, tabla! has played a crucial role as a tool for integration. It has helped bridge the gap between Singapore-born Indians and new arrivals, fostering a deeper sense of community and mutual understanding.
By showcasing the stories, achievements, and challenges of different segments of the Indian population, the publication has helped build a more cohesive community, proving that diverse backgrounds can coexist and thrive together.
While tabla! has always been a go-to source for coverage of major events and festivals, its true impact lies in its conscious effort to spotlight the inspiring success stories within the community.
Through featuring the achievements of prominent Indian personalities, we have helped build a sense of pride and shared identity, proving that hard work and ambition transcend cultural backgrounds.
As we look to the future, tabla! is embarking on a new, exciting chapter. We are making a significant leap into the digital realm with the launch of a new website and a stronger presence on social media. This move is not just about staying current; it’s about reaching new audiences and providing more dynamic opportunities for advertisers to connect with our readers.
To guide this next phase, we are planning a special stakeholder event in November 2025. This gathering hopes to bring together about 100 key partners from Indian associations and interest groups. It’s an opportunity for us to share our vision for the future and explore new ways to collaborate, ensuring tabla! remains a vital and relevant voice for years to come. Here’s to many years of growth!
