Sathish Duraisamy
Founder & Director, London Indian Tamils
London Indian Tamils was founded by Sathish Duraisamy with a simple vision - to create a stronger, more connected and supportive community for Tamil-speaking Indians living across the UK.
Having lived in the UK for many years and been actively involved in community, cultural and social initiatives, Sathish wanted to create a platform that goes beyond events and WhatsApp conversations - a community where people can build friendships, support careers and businesses, share opportunities and celebrate Tamil culture together.
Sathish has been involved in community and cultural initiatives in the UK for many years. He previously served as Secretary of the South Indian Society (SIS) and is also the Founder & Director of I for India and E for Events, through which he has organised and supported a wide range of Indian cultural, social and entertainment activities in the UK.
His vision for LIT is to bring people together across generations, professions and locations, creating meaningful connections and a community that supports one another.
“LIT is about people, relationships and creating something valuable for the community - together.”ABOUT SATHISH

Deepavali Kondattam – An Evening of Music, Nostalgia & Celebration
31 October 2026 | London
An unforgettable evening of music, memories and togetherness!
London Indian Tamils (LIT) celebrated Deepavali with a wonderful musical evening featuring singer M J Shriram, bringing the magic of Tamil cinema's golden musical era to life.
The evening was filled with much-loved songs, particularly the timeless musical combinations of S. P. Balasubrahmanyam (SPB) and Ilaiyaraaja. These evergreen classics brought back beautiful memories, with audiences singing along and reliving the music that has touched generations.
A special highlight was M J Shriram's energetic performance, entertaining the audience with nearly 3.5 hours of non-stop singing. His wit, humour and engaging interaction made the evening as entertaining as it was nostalgic.
Beyond the music, it was a wonderful opportunity for families and friends to come together, celebrate Deepavali and enjoy the warmth of our Tamil community.
Our heartfelt thanks to M J Shriram, everyone who attended, and all our supporters and volunteers who helped make this celebration memorable.
A night of songs, smiles and memories that will stay with us for a long time!
