In a time when digital content is dominated by metropolitan influencers and global narratives, SangliTalks offers something refreshingly real and deeply rooted. It is more than just a video series or podcast — it is a digital movement that puts the spotlight on rural achievers, grassroots innovators, and local heroes of Sangli district.
From farmers to founders, doctors to dancers, and educators to entrepreneurs — SangliTalks is a stage where real people share real stories that inspire, inform, and empower. It brings out the unheard voices from Sangli and presents them to the world with dignity, clarity, and authenticity.
What is SangliTalks?
SangliTalks is a regional digital talk show that captures interviews, life journeys, business stories, and cultural narratives from Sangli district. Delivered primarily in Marathi with a professional video format, each episode is a blend of storytelling, emotion, and practical insights. It’s created for the people of Sangli, by the people of Sangli — but its impact goes far beyond regional borders.
Whether it’s a grape exporter from Tasgaon, a young UPSC ranker from Miraj, or a women-led turmeric brand from Palus, SangliTalks brings such stories to the forefront, inspiring thousands to dream bigger while staying rooted in their local identity.
The Mission Behind SangliTalks
Sangli has long been a district of cooperative movements, agricultural prosperity, educational excellence, and Ayurvedic traditions. But many of its success stories remain undocumented and uncelebrated in the digital world.

- To amplify rural voices that rarely reach digital platforms
- To inspire local youth through real-life success stories
- To create a content archive of Sangli’s social, business, and cultural heritage
- To connect Sangli with the world via digital storytelling in the local language
