Our Story

Founded on Love for India's Soul

Since 2010, Echoes of India has operated from a simple belief: that culture and humanity are inseparable — and that preserving both is our highest calling.

2025–2026 Frisco Arts
Tourism Grant Recipient

Echoes of India is honored to be recognized by the City of Frisco for outstanding contributions to South Asian classical arts and cultural tourism in the region.

Driving Cultural Tourism

This competitive grant supports our vision to showcase Indian heritage, enhance cultural tourism, and provide classical dance programs of the highest caliber to Frisco and the North Texas community.

How It Began

A Mission Born from Two Passions

Echoes of India was born in Frisco, Texas, when two passions converged: a love for India's classical performing arts and a deep concern for communities suffering from contaminated water.

Founded in 2009 by Pranamya and Vasanth Suri, the organization began as a modest cultural initiative and evolved into a nationally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit with dual humanitarian and artistic missions.

Today, Echoes of India operates two interconnected wings — the Arts Wing preserving Kuchipudi and classical heritage, and the Water Purification Wing bringing safe drinking water to rural India.
