Sikkawala x Substack

Welcome to my Substack! My name is Umair, a heritage and numismatic expert based in Delhi. By day, I work in marketing within the fashion and lifestyle industry, but my true passion lies in history, architecture, culture, and everything from the past.

As an avid collector of Medieval-era coins, I channel my love for heritage into organizing heritage walks across Delhi, exploring the city’s rich stories and hidden gems. My work has been featured in platforms like BBC, Quint, Indian Express, Zee, and Tatler magazine, among others. I am deeply connected to the hyper-local culture of Delhi, celebrating its vibrant traditions and history.

If you’re visiting from Instagram, this page will feature in-depth posts about monuments and cultural landmarks. If you’re here from a search engine, be sure to check out my Instagram page, @Sikkawala, to explore more of my work.

Let’s journey together into the past and rediscover the stories that shape us today!
