    Desi Hoppers was founded in 2015 by Palki Malhotra along with Shantanu Maheshwari, Macedon D'Mello and Nimit Kotian through India-wide auditions, for the finite dance series Bindass Naach. The show aimed to showcase the journey and struggles of forming a dance crew and performing at an international level. The show had appearances by the likes of Jaja Vaňková of So You Think You Can Dance and Step Up: All In fame, along with Indian choreographer and dance guru Terence Lewis (choreographer).

    In an interview, Palki Malhotra revealed that the idea for the crew evolved during the days of Channel V's fiction dance show Dil Dosti Dance, where the four founding members had worked together. She added that their shared vision led to her helping them in translating the crew into reality.

    After their victory at World of Dance 2015, the crew was invited to give a special performance on America's Got Talent (season 11) and received praise from judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Nick Cannon. They further gave a special performance on the hit Chinese show Day Day Up on Hunan Television. In 2016, they were featured in special promotional videos by NBC for World of Dance.

    In 2018, Desi Hoppers participated in the world's biggest dance reality show World of Dance, and in doing so they became the first ever Indian dance crew to represent India on such a big platform. They received high praise from judges Jennifer Lopez, Ne-Yo and Derek Hough who loved their unique style and fusion of hip-hop with Indian culture. They also scored an impressive 96 to qualify for the next round which was also the highest score in round one.
