Check out what the man himself had to say: "I’m looking forward to the new year working with the most talented team on the planet at DesiHits.com. We’ve made such tremendous strides last year with the funding achievements, advancement in the South Asian music scene, but most of all with the amount of dedicated fans we have gained across the world – 68 countries to be exact. Desi Hits! is the pioneer and innovator of the Urban Desi music arena and having them be a part of my birthday and my career is the only thing that makes sense – after all they are a part of my family now and family takes care of each other.

Desi Hits! has allowed me to take my aspirations and ambitions for the Urban Desi scene to the next level. The level of professionalism, creativity and passion is unmatched within any organization I have been a part of before. I welcome the new year with optimistic hope for reaching new levels for this industry, Desi Hits!, and my career."
