Luxury homes in real estate are not merely feats of architecture; they are abodes of experiences that stay with you for a lifetime. They represent a delicate union of art and property, where design, functionality, and emotion converge to create spaces that are deeply personal yet universally coveted. For the modern elite, such homes are more than assets – they are living canvases that reflect lifestyle, taste, and aspiration. Every corner, every detail, is curated to evoke comfort, privacy, and a sense of belonging, transforming a residence from a physical space into an enduring experience that resonates far beyond its walls.

Luxury redefined: Beyond architecture, true value lies in the seamless blend of comfort, design, and meaningful experiences

This shift mirrors a broader societal trend where value is measured less by ownership and more by the quality of experiences. Modern luxury homes are thoughtfully curated environments crafted to promote personalization, privacy, and emotional well-being. From smart home technologies that simplify daily living to biophilic design that brings nature indoors, and community spaces that encourage meaningful connections, every element is intentionally designed to elevate the everyday. In this experience-driven landscape, a home becomes a sanctuary, a retreat, and a statement of a life well-lived.

According to a report by JLL, the real estate landscape in Delhi-NCR is witnessing a remarkable surge. The report states that 10,245 new housing units were launched in the third quarter (Q3) of 2025, with an astonishing 87% of luxury housing launches concentrated in Gurugram. High-end submarkets in NCR have seen capital appreciation of 5 to 6% annually, driven primarily by strong local demand and scarcity of super-premium inventory. Notably, Gurugram and Noida led the price growth race with 12% and 10% year-on-year appreciation. This underlines the growing premium on well-located, well-connected housing.

Besides, in Gurugram, the 10% YoY growth in rentals makes it the standout performer in leasing returns. These numbers indicate that while rents aren’t skyrocketing, they are rising steadily, particularly for premium homes, keeping investors and landlords reasonably optimistic.

Gurpal Singh Chawla, Managing Director, TREVOC Group, says, “Luxury living today is no longer measured by exclusivity alone, but by the richness of experience. We see this as a shift from ‘prestige buying’ to ‘purposeful living’; and in cities like Gurugram, there is no looking back. With 87% of NCR’s luxury launches happening in Q3 2025, the city continues to attract buyers who value not just location, but a complete lifestyle. At TREVOC, we align our developments with these aspirations, creating residences that are not just spaces to live in, but experiences to cherish.”

Moreover, across NCR, developers are aligning their projects with the buyers’ expectations. Prateek Group exemplifies this trend with its projects: Prateek Grand Begonia and Prateek Canary. Located in Siddharth Vihar, Ghaziabad, Prateek Grand Begonia draws inspiration from the elegance and grandeur of architecture, a style known for its timeless beauty and regal charm. Its design philosophy is rooted in the idea of harmonious living, where the aesthetics of architecture are seamlessly fused with the needs of modern-day residents.

Meanwhile, Prateek Canary in Sector 150, Noida, is envisioned as a benchmark for luxury living with future-readiness at its core. This low-density development offers uninterrupted panoramic green views and a huge private deck to embrace them. Both projects centre on “lifestyle emotion,” turning residences into spaces that truly resonate with the way people want to live.

Salil Kumar, Director- Marketing and Business Management, CRC Group, says, “Luxury is defined best when connectivity and ambience unite. Most enviable luxury homes are ideally located, offering spectacular views and proximity to promising lifestyle avenues. In Noida-Greater Noida, accessibility via expressways and thoughtfully planned communities are driving demand. As developers, we aim to match our projects with these attributes, offering buyers homes that are their personal sanctuaries.”

Ashwani Kumar, Pyramid, Infratech says, “The new generation of luxury buyers in Gurugram is guided by emotion, not extravagance. They want homes that offer privacy, serenity, and a connection to nature – even within a city. At Pyramid, we see growing demand for designs that fuse mindfulness with modernity, where every corner tells a story of comfort and individuality.”

Thus, the future of luxury real estate in India is experiential, signalling a maturity that mirrors global trends in cities like Dubai, Singapore, and London. As the emphasis shifts from sheer scale or opulence to the quality of life a home delivers, homes are no longer just assets; they are curated experiences that leave a lasting imprint on life itself.

At a time when Indians are increasingly grappling with skin concerns-ranging from premature skin-aging and environmental stressors to uneven skin tone and textural issues, Amway India, a leading company supporting health and wellbeing, has introduced two next-gen skincare products solutions – Artistry Skin Nutrition Defying Serum and Artistry Skin Nutrition Correcting Serum to target early and advanced signs of visible skin aging respectively. These advanced serums build on the foundation laid by the Artistry Skin Nutrition Hydrating, Balancing, and Renewing & Firming ranges, which are thoughtfully formulated to meet the evolving skincare needs across different life stages.

Amway India unveils Artistry Skin Nutrition’s next-gen skincare powered by the goodness of Nutrilite

Backed by the legacy of Nutrilite’s 90 years of expertise in botanicals, these serums are powered by Nutrilite-grown ingredients to deliver visible results-firming, smoothing, and strengthening the skin-bringing the power of nature and science together for youthful-looking skin. While the Artistry Skin Nutrition Defying Serum helps support the skin against the early visible signs of ageing, the Artistry Skin Nutrition Correcting Serum helps address the appearance of advanced skin aging and loss of firmness.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Rajneesh Chopra, Managing Director, Amway India, said, “The Indian skincare market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing consumer awareness, rising disposable incomes, and a preference for premium and natural products. In fact, an increasing population is placing high importance on skin health, with 70% of urban respondents reporting heightened awareness of skincare benefits, reflecting a clear shift toward more informed and conscious skincare choices. Additionally, according to a report, about 71% of Indian consumers prefer skincare products formulated with plant-derived ingredients. This presents a tremendous opportunity for us at Amway India as we continuously track and analyse these evolving consumer preferences through in-depth research and insights, enabling us to innovate with purpose. The launch of Artistry Skin Nutrition Defying and Correcting Serums is a testament to our commitment to delivering high-performance skincare products that combines the best of science and nature. Product innovation will continue to be a strategic priority for us as we stay ahead of the curve to meet the ever-evolving needs of the modern Indian consumer“.

According to Amway India’s Chief Marketing Officer, Amrita Asrani, “Consumers today are seeking quality products that align with their evolving values of self-confidence, empowerment, and ageless beauty. At Amway India, we have embraced this shift through Artistry Skin Nutrition-our next-gen skincare range that brings together over 90 years of Nutrilite botanical expertise and 60 years of advanced skin science from Artistry. With the existing Hydrating, Balancing, and Renewing and Firming ranges forming the essential base of a targeted skincare regimen, the launch of the new Artistry Skin Nutrition Defying and Correcting Serums marks a significant step forward in this journey, as they are thoughtfully designed to support the essential ‘REBUILD’ skin nutritional requirement to help improve the overall appearance of skin. Harnessing the power of 16 plant extracts and advanced skincare science, our Defying and Correcting Serums can help deliver targeted results for visibly younger, firmer, and healthy-looking skin, when used as directed.”

“Rooted in the belief that skin, like the body, needs the right nutrients to stay healthy, these formulations are thoughtfully created with traceable botanicals from Nutrilite-approved farms and crafted to meet the highest standards of safety, purity, and efficacy. The new serums are crafted to seamlessly fit into today’s fast-paced lifestyles, offering advanced, yet effortless means for next-gen skincare. As we evolve with our consumers’ needs, we remain dedicated to delivering high-performance innovations that empower individuals to not just achieve youthful-looking skin, but one that thrives with enduring radiance,” Amrita added.

The Maitri Cultural Economy Summit (MCES), powered by MaitriBodh Parivaar, was held at Le Meridien, New Delhi, as an exclusive closed-door gathering attended by over 100 dignitaries, ministry representatives, economists, and policymakers. The event facilitated in-depth discussions on the interconnection between India’s cultural heritage and its economic progress.

Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat: “Culture is not just an identity, but a new force driving India’s economy”

The keynote speaker and visionary behind the Summit, Maitreya Dadashreeji – a Transformation Pioneer, Founder of MaitriBodh Parivaar, shared, “Bharat’s ancient practices like Yog and Ayurveda have become global economic forces, reaffirming that sanskriti-led development can guide Bharat toward sustainable prosperity.”

Addressing the gathering as the Chief Guest, Hon’ble Union Minister of Culture and Tourism, Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision is to shape India’s economy on cultural foundations. Along with development, we must also honour our heritage. Culture is not merely identity; it is the pillar of economic strength, driving employment, innovation, and creative industries. We must view our traditional arts and cultural wealth not as charity, but as investment opportunities. With the support of the service sector, the culture-based economy can gain a new dimension.”

Over the past year, MCES has hosted thematic sessions in Delhi and Mumbai, exploring subjects such as Festivals and Economy, Sustainable Prosperity, Arts and Culture, and Agricultural Economics. Drawing from these deliberations, the 5Ps Framework – Performance, Potential, Path, Planning, and Policy – was presented by Shri Gopal Krishna Aggarwal, Patron of MCES and National Spokesperson (Economic Affairs), BJP.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Aggarwal added, “Culture and economy are complementary to each other. The 5Ps framework demonstrates how India can transform its cultural capital into economic progress. This model will benefit both rural and urban India.”

The event concluded with the launch of the Policy Recommendations Report, authored by Shri Gopal Krishna Aggarwal, which will be submitted to the Government of India to aid in implementing culture-driven economic initiatives. Experts present at the event hailed it as a “new beginning” for India’s cultural and economic journey, paving the path toward a self-reliant and culturally empowered Bharat.

Campus Activewear, one of India’s largest and fastest-growing Sports and Athleisure footwear brands, today unveiled the second edition of its You Go, Girl! campaign led by National Award-winning actress Kriti Sanon. Building on the first chapter that encouraged women to embrace fashion on their own terms, this year’s You Go, Girl! goes beyond what women wear – to how they move through the world unbothered by labels and guided by their own choices. It celebrates the ease of being yourself and moving with belief in who you are, not who you are told to be.

Campus Shoes’ “You Go, Girl!” campaign featuring Kriti Sanon

The campaign film captures something every woman knows – that quiet, familiar weight of being labelled, and the choice to simply rise above it. Kriti steps into a bright lobby, only to be surrounded by floating labels that echo familiar stereotypes: Too ambitious. Too bold. Opinionated. Drama Queen. They rise, they close in, they try to hold her back. And yet, she keeps moving in her own rhythm, almost enjoying the process. Every effortless stride she takes bursts the stereotypes trying to label her. When she finally breaks through, she exclaims with a smile, “Damn good shoes, yaar!” while pointing to her stylish Campus Shoes.

The film closes on a line that captures both the spirit of the campaign and Campus’ core philosophy: “They’ll always have something to say. You Go, Girl. Move Your Way.”

Nikhil Aggarwal, CEO and Whole Time Director, Campus Activewear Ltd., said, “You Go, Girl! celebrates women who move through life on their own terms, unbothered by labels and defined by their choices. That sense of self-belief not only inspired ‘You Go, Girl!’ but also lies at the heart of Campus. Our brand ideology, ‘Move Your Way’, reflects the same conviction- that every move becomes meaningful when it’s guided by authenticity and confidence. This campaign builds on that belief, encouraging women to take the most powerful stride, the one that feels like their own. Kriti Sanon embodies this spirit effortlessly; her ambition and authenticity capture the energy of today’s woman and the ethos that drives Campus forward.”

Sharing her thoughts on the campaign, Kriti Sanon said, “Every woman has been told who she should be – how to act, how to look, how far to go. You Go, Girl! resonated with me because it not only reflects my journey of rising above judgments, but also the reality of so many women who do the same every day. It’s about owning your choices and moving with confidence, no matter what labels come your way. Campus has stood for individuality and authenticity, and that shared belief makes this partnership so special – together we’re sending out a message that goes beyond fashion: one that celebrates confident self-expression and the courage to Move Your Way.”

Hemant Shringy, Chief Creative Officer & Managing Partner, Wondrlab, added, “Labels are meant to define – until you stop listening to them. We wanted to show that truth in a way that feels light and real. Kriti moves through those stereotypes effortlessly and with self-assurance, proving that confidence isn’t about proving anything – it’s about knowing who you are and moving your way, without caring about the labels society gives or the stereotypes it creates. That’s the essence of You Go, Girl!“

The campaign will be amplified via 360-degree approach across multiple platforms, including television, print, digital media, news channels, OOH, and all brand touchpoints.
