“Faraan believes South Asian classical music is a global treasure, yet 250 million enthusiasts like him lack easy access to it worldwide.

With 17 years in the industry, Faraan founded Saarey, an award-winning consumer AI startup based in London, building the fastest-growing platform for the underserved and rapidly growing classical music audience. With 1.4M monthly active users (up 272% YoY and 191x in 2 years), he’s secured exclusive rights to 85-90% of all Pakistani recordings and secured over £1m from investors, including Goodwater Capital, and Innovate UK.

Saarey was recognised as Fast Company’s #9 Most Innovative in Europe, Middle East, Africa (2024) and Forbes India Top 200 Company (2023).”
