Storytellers, strategists, tastemakers.
Founded in Delhi by Farah, Star Connect Media is a boutique influencer agency engineering campaigns that move the culture — and the metrics.
From a single Insta-DM to India's go-to creator studio.
What started in 2021 as a one-woman talent desk has grown into a multidisciplinary team of producers, strategists and creator-ops specialists. Today we partner with 500+ brands across DTC, fashion, beauty, tech and hospitality — running the campaigns that India scrolls.
We obsess over fit, transparency and creative quality. No bots. No bloated rosters. Just the right creator, at the right moment, for the right brand.
Our Mission
To democratise authentic brand storytelling by connecting culture-shaping creators with brands that deserve them.
Our Vision
To become Asia's most trusted talent and creator-marketing partner — synonymous with taste, transparency and results.
Our Values
Craft over volume. Honesty over hype. Long-term relationships over one-off transactions.
"We don't sell reach. We build resonance."
"Every brand has a story worth telling, and every creator has an audience that trusts them. My job — and my team's — is to find the intersection where those two meet, and to engineer a moment that actually matters."
— Farah Khurshid, Founder & CEO
