ABOUT UNZIP DELHI
The People Behind Unzip Delhi
We see Delhi not simply as a collection of historical sites, but as a living city where the past and present constantly meet.

اَن زِپ دِلّی
Anas Khan comes from a family with a recorded history in Delhi spanning more than 250 years. Born and raised in Old Delhi, he grew up surrounded by the streets, stories and communities that continue to shape the city.
An anthropologist and heritage storyteller, Anas has spent years researching, documenting and sharing the histories and cultures of Delhi, bringing together academic research, lived experience and the voices of the people who call these neighbourhoods home.
Through Unzip Delhi, he offers a different way of encountering the city: curious rather than conventional, conversational rather than scripted, and deeply rooted in place.
Storytelling rooted in place.
This is not sightseeing. It is storytelling rooted in scholarship, family memory and oral histories.
Every walk brings together the rigour of research with the intimacy of someone showing you their own home, revealing not just what happened here, but how people have lived, remembered and reimagined the city across generations.
