About Us

Oye! Times.com is a refreshing website catering to South Asians from the Indian sub-continent and Indo-Caribbeans living in Canada and the U.S. We offer an impressive array of community information, ranging from Arts & Culture, Fashion, Health, Relationships, Community Events, Business, and News.

From its inception in 2008, Oye! Times has captured the interest of the South Asian community, and more importantly advertisers targeting the growing ethnic demographics in Canada and the U.S. Our weekly newsletter has been instrumental in the exponential growth of Oye! Times.com.

Community is at the heart of our mandate; hence we are dedicated to promoting events and services, such as Naya Raasta Support Group for Divorced or Separated South Asians, and Sawera Group empowering South Asian women.

We are currently working with associations such as TD Bank, Bell, Royal Bank of Canada, Shaadi.com, Kismet Wedding Show, Suhaag Wedding Show, Toronto Marlies, Peel Region Police, Sears Canada, Rogers, Canadian Diabetes, Small World Music, Swar Sadhana, Computers Canada, Miss Pakistan World, Talk Of The Town lounge, Sapphire Banquet & Conference Centre, to name a few, to successfully promote their events and businesses.

Oye! Tickets.com is our online ticketing website, which offers many unique choices for patrons, as well as the event organizers and promoters.

Oye! Times is frequented by first and second generation South Asians interested in real-time, factual content, catering to their personal, business, and social needs.
