RBC desiFEST is a community initiative and the success of the festival is only possible with the support of our partners within each city. In our efforts to deliver on our ambitious plans, strengthen community ties, and enable and energize a forum for collaboration, RBC desiFEST works to develop strategic partnerships with a multitude of innovative and like-minded institutions and organizations within the music, arts, media, community, government, and corporate sectors.

The invaluable experience, expertise, and support contributed by our partners helps us maximize our impact, expand our audience, and explore new possibilities.

Our corporate partners are integral to our success. We strive to build strong and unique partnerships, that provide opportunities for our partners to best express their support and connect with our audience. We had the pleasure of working with a group of leading organizations including RBC, Emirates, ROCHE and many more.
