Astaan Group was founded with a bold ambition to build a homegrown media platform that would inform, entertain, and uplift Somali communities. What began as a single-channel television initiative has grown into a diversified enterprise driving impact across multiple industries. Today, Astaan Group is a dynamic force in broadcast media, digital commerce, clean energy, communication consultancy, and professional training. Our journey began with Astaan TV, a terrestrial DVBT2 cable network that reaches over 200,000 households across Somalia. Known for its culturally resonant programming and public trust, Astaan TV has become a cornerstone in Somali-speaking communities both locally and in the diaspora. In 2018, we launched Astaan Media, a premier communication and multimedia consultancy. Our team collaborates with government bodies, NGOs, United Nations agencies, and global institutions to design and deliver high-impact storytelling, strategic campaigns, and live events that engage audiences and inspire action. In 2021, we introduced Astaan Academy to address the growing demand for skilled professionals in media and digital communication. The academy offers hands-on training programs in journalism, content creation, and entrepreneurship, equipping Somali youth with tools to thrive in today’s digital economy. To promote sustainable development, we launched Astaan Energy in 2023. This division focuses on providing clean, solar-powered infrastructure to underserved communities, addressing energy poverty and supporting environmental resilience. In August 2025, we launched Astaan E-Commerce, Somalia’s first nationwide digital marketplace. Designed to connect consumers and local vendors, the platform empowers businesses, simplifies logistics, and brings modern retail solutions to a digitally growing nation. With over 5 million digital followers and a growing ecosystem of impact-driven ventures, Astaan Group stands among the top three most influential companies in Somalia. We are more than a business. We are system builders, community connectors, and a living testament to Somali innovation and excellence. We are more than a business.
