Evaluation:
Pardesi offers a comprehensive media experience for Punjabi speakers in Canada, combining news, culture, education, and entertainment in one platform. It’s well-suited for cord-cutters and younger audiences who prefer mobile and online access. The presentation is practical but less polished than mainstream networks—app interfaces and UI are functional but dated. Nonetheless, it fills a key niche for community information and cultural connection across Canada.
