What Starlight does

Starlight is a Mumbai-headquartered talent management and event entertainment company founded in 2005–2006, operating across India (Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Ahmedabad) with international event execution capabilities in Dubai, Russia, the UK, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Abu Dhabi, and the Maldives. The company books and manages a roster of Indian and international artists — including singers, dancers, Bollywood performers, LED act artists, comedians, musicians (violinists, flutists, pianists), aerialists, and specialty acts — for weddings, corporate events, concerts, award functions, product launches, sporting events, and large-scale public functions. Its proprietary content includes the registered concept 'Band Baaja Baaraat' (introduced November 2016, combining foreign musicians with traditional Indian baraat music), the 'Desi Videsi' fusion act, LED performance concepts (Led Butterflies, Aerial LED Drummers), and Flying Drummers.

The business operates as a service-based talent agency and event manager. Revenue is generated through artist booking fees, event package pricing, and management commissions, delivered via a direct sales motion targeting both enterprise clients and individual wedding consumers. The company has no public API, no software product, and no disclosed pricing — quotes are issued on a contact basis. Its client roster includes marquee enterprise brands across luxury automotive (Mercedes-Benz India, Porsche India, Bentley Motors India, Maserati India, Lamborghini India, Mahindra & Mahindra), luxury goods (Swarovski, Rado), financial services (Citibank India), sports (International Hockey Federation), and media (Sony Entertainment), alongside high-volume individual wedding business.

Operationally, Starlight is a privately held firm with 11–50 employees and a single Mumbai headquarters. It has not raised institutional funding, has no disclosed parent company, and has limited recent digital footprint (website copyright 2022). Marketing relies on its website, YouTube content, and client referrals.
