Robb Report India, part of RPSG Lifestyle Media, celebrated its first anniversary titled Chapter One: The Circle of Influence—an exclusive, invite-only gathering at Fairmont Udaipur Palace on August 23 and 24, 2026. With Fairmont Udaipur Palace and Accor as hospitality partner along with BMW Excellence Club as Luxury Mobility Partner, The Macallan as Experience Partner, Vedica as Hydration Partner, Titan Nebula as Celebrations Partner and Aabee as the Luxury Travel and Concierge Partner — the event brought together a select group of tastemakers, entrepreneurs, and creative leaders to commemorate a year that established Robb Report India as the country’s most considered voice in luxury media.

Avarna Jain, Chairperson of RPSG Lifestyle Media, said, “India is at an exciting inflection point in shaping the global luxury narrative. For Robb Report India and RPSG Lifestyle Media to play a part in taking India’s stories of craftsmanship, culture and contemporary luxury to the world is a matter of immense pride. Since its launch in September 2025, Robb Report India has sought to set a new benchmark for luxury storytelling and experiences.”

Avarna Jain and Kajol discuss films, luxury and more

Robb Report India has been the gold standard in luxury media, offering insights across categories such as automobiles, travel, fine dining, real estate, and rare collectibles. This is not a title chasing trends—it is one that sets them.

Robb Report curates the world’s finest offerings for a readership that is increasingly setting the terms of global living, rather than just following them, and in India, Robb Report upholds that with purpose.

Off the pages too, Robb Report India has created its own identity with a series of unique experiences. The RR Experience series—invite-only, immersive, and built around access to spaces and people not ordinarily in the public eye—began in Udaipur, before moving to Jai Vilas Palace in Gwalior for Palace Privé in April 2026, where Priyadarshini Raje Scindia and her son, Mahaaryaman Scindia, opened their ancestral home to a gathering that included well-known names across Bollywood, fashion, business and culture.

With Chapter One: The Circle of Influence, Robb Report returned to where the RR Experience began—in Udaipur. Fairmont Udaipur Palace, with its grandeur, is a significant luxury address in Rajasthan. Cocooned within the lush Aravalli hills, with stunning views all around, it played the perfect backdrop for a momentous occasion.

The programme, including the launch of the coveted RR Circle Members 2026-2027, spread over two days, encompassed celebrations and building connections with guests ranging from business, fashion, art, sports, Bollywood, royal families and some of the country’s top tastemakers. 

Day one opened with lunch, followed by Celebration Experiences in the afternoon and a VIP gala at the Imperial Ballroom. At the fireside chat, Jain was joined by Bollywood legend Kajol, who spoke about 30 years of Simran, and what luxury means to her: the ability and the bandwidth to have choice, be it a slow morning, the choice to work or not, the choice to be who she is. 

Guests were treated to a curated menu inspired by local flavours, while Jasleen Royal had a private performance where she sang her hits such as ‘Love You Zindagi’ and ‘Heeriye’ among others. She also invited one of the guests, former international cricketer Suresh Raina on stage for an impromptu performance.  

This was followed by an after-party where DJ Aqeel played an exclusive set at Dahaad, only for the guests. He belted out favourites such as ‘Kali Kali Ankhein’, ‘Tu Mera Hero,’ ‘Baby’ among others as the party continued into the wee hours of the morning.

Day two kicked off with early risers and enthusiastic guests playing a game of padel and lounging in the hotel’s breathtaking pool, followed by breakfast before departure.

High-profile guests who attended this special celebration included RPSG Vice-Chairman and Vice-President of CII 2026-27, Shashwat Goenka; Shivika Goenka- Director of Education and Luxury at RPSG; design couturiers Rahul and Divya Mishra; top tastemakers from the art and design fraternity including gallerists Prateek and Priyanka Raja, Bhavna Kakkar, designers Gautam Seth and Prateek Jain from Klove, artist Paresh Maity; jewellers Tarang Arora and Siddharth Kasliwal from Amrapali and Gem Palace, respectively, as well as several royal family members including the Mewar royal family, Alsisar, Karauli, etc. 

Aindrila Mitra, Editor, Robb Report India, said, “Robb Report India has had a remarkable year one with the launch of various IPs like The Robb Report Table, Culinary Masters, At Home with Royalty and our marquee RR Experience. And while we step towards Chapter Two, it will be our endeavour to steer this title towards Luxury with Purpose. Where multi-format immersive content, access and mindful storytelling become our hallmarks.”

Credit awareness can help individuals make more informed decisions about how they manage borrowing and other credit commitments. A credit score provides a quick view of credit health, while a detailed credit report can provide greater context about repayment behaviour, active accounts and recent credit enquiries.

Build Credit Awareness with a Free Credit Score Check from Bajaj Finance

Regularly reviewing this information can help individuals identify changes in their credit profile and address potential inaccuracies.

How the Bajaj Finance Credit Pulse Report can help?

The Bajaj Finance Credit Pulse Report provides customers with insights into their credit profile beyond the credit score. It brings together key credit indicators that can help customers understand their current credit health.

• Credit score

• Credit history

• Credit age

• Credit mix

• Credit card utilisation

• Repayment history

• Account summary

• Credit enquiries

Reviewing these details can provide a broader understanding of how credit behaviour is reflected in the credit profile.

How to check credit score online?

Customers can complete a free credit score check online through Bajaj Finance and access their Credit Pulse Report.

The process involves a few simple steps:

Step 1: Visit the Credit Pulse Report page

Customers can visit the official Bajaj Finance website and open the Credit Pulse Report page. The option to check the credit score can then be selected.

Step 2: Verify the mobile number

The registered mobile number needs to be entered, followed by OTP verification.

Step 3: Enter the required details

Customers need to provide details such as their name, PAN, date of birth, email address, mobile number and PIN code.

Step 4: Check the credit score

After successful verification, the available credit score is displayed on the screen.

Step 5: Review the Credit Pulse Report

Customers can access the Credit Pulse Report to review their repayment history, active credit accounts, recent enquiries and other credit information. The report can also be downloaded for future reference.

What can a credit report tell customers?

A credit score is useful as a quick indicator, but it does not provide the complete picture. A credit report contains additional information that can help customers understand their credit profile.

Looking at these indicators together can give customers a more complete view of their credit health.

How can a credit score check help identify changes?

A periodic credit score check can help customers notice changes in their credit profile.

For example, a change in the score may prompt a review of:

• Recent repayment activity

• Changes in outstanding balances

• New credit accounts

• Credit card utilisation

• Recent credit enquiries

Reviewing the underlying credit information can help customers understand whether a change is expected or requires further attention.

Why is repayment history important?

Repayment history is an important part of a credit profile. It reflects how previous credit obligations have been managed.

Customers reviewing their credit report can look for:

• Missed or delayed payments

• Overdue amounts

• Incorrect repayment entries

• Payments that may not have been updated

Consistently managing EMIs and credit card dues on time can support responsible credit behaviour.

How does credit utilisation affect a credit profile?

Credit utilisation refers to the amount of revolving credit being used compared with the available credit limit.

For example, if a credit card has an available limit of Rs. 1 lakh and Rs. 30,000 is outstanding, the utilisation is 30%.

Using a large portion of available revolving credit may affect a credit profile. Reviewing utilisation regularly can therefore form part of responsible credit management.

Why should customers monitor their credit health regularly?

Credit health can change as individuals take on new credit, repay existing obligations or change how they use their available credit.

Regular monitoring can help customers:

• Keep track of their credit score

• Review active credit accounts

• Monitor repayment information

• Check recent credit enquiries

• Identify unfamiliar credit activity

• Spot potential reporting errors

A periodic review can provide greater awareness of changes in the credit profile.

How can Credit Pulse Report support credit awareness?

Credit awareness is not limited to knowing a credit score. Understanding the information behind the score can help individuals develop better visibility into their credit behaviour and overall financial profile. This is also useful when understanding creditworthiness meaning, which refers to an individual’s ability and likelihood to repay borrowed money based on factors such as repayment behaviour, credit history, existing obligations and other relevant information.

Customers can use their Credit Pulse Report to review key indicators and identify areas that may need attention. For instance, an unfamiliar account or incorrect repayment entry can be investigated, while consistently high credit utilisation can prompt a review of credit usage.

What habits can help maintain a healthy credit profile?

Maintaining a healthy credit profile generally requires consistent financial behaviour over time.

Customers can consider the following practices:

• Pay EMIs and credit card dues on time.

• Keep credit utilisation under control.

• Avoid unnecessary credit applications within a short period.

• Review credit reports periodically.

• Check that reported account information is accurate.

• Borrow within a manageable repayment capacity.

There is no instant way to establish a strong credit history. Consistent and responsible credit management remains important.

Build better credit awareness with regular monitoring

A credit score can provide a quick view of credit health, but reviewing the information behind the score can offer greater context. Repayment history, existing accounts, credit utilisation and recent enquiries can all provide useful insights into an individual’s credit profile.

A free credit score check through Bajaj Finance can serve as a starting point for building credit awareness, while the Credit Pulse Report can help customers review key aspects of their credit profile. Regular monitoring and responsible credit habits can help individuals remain informed and make more considered financial decisions.

Motherland, the design-first Indian lifestyle brand known for its take on pop culture, subcultures and contemporary Indian life, has launched its new ‘Made in India’ collection, pairing minimalist design with a strong expression of cultural identity.

THE NEW FACE: Roka, who represents India on the global stage, embodies Motherland’s proudly rooted and fiercely independent identity

The launch also marks the appointment of MMA fighter Asha “The Knockout Queen” Roka as Motherland’s Digital Ambassador.

Motherland’s inspiration has always been India. The brand’s world extends beyond clothing to lifestyle accessories, art and its collectible quarterly magazine, drawing from Indian cities, narratives, cultures, emerging trends and everyday references. Motherland’s “Made in India” collection takes that approach in a more direct visual direction, through powerful words that represent homeland, placed at the centre of the design.

Bringing together polos, T-shirts, 70s-inspired ringer tees, crop T-shirts and tank tops across unisex and women’s fits, the Made in India Collection takes a typography-led approach. Featuring simple yet powerful words – ‘INDIA’, ‘भारत’, ‘SWADESHI’ and ‘MADE IN INDIA’ the collection’s visual language is clean and considered, letting the words and silhouettes speak loud.

Ultimately, the Made in India collection is a new form of representation through everyday fashion, worn loud and proud; for people who seek pride in carrying Indian spirit and want that sentiment expressed in a contemporary, understated way.

The collaboration with Roka – a rising MMA star and the first Indian woman to win a 9-second knockout – reflects a similar side of contemporary Indian ambition; one built through discipline, persistence and the willingness to enter spaces where Indian representation is still growing. Her association with the collection brings together two distinct expressions of modern India: design and sport. The accompanying campaign places Asha firmly in her own and most recognized MMA environment. Rather than creating a conventional fashion setup, the campaign captures her within the physicality of her sport.

Asha Roka, MMA Fighter said, “I’ve always felt that representing India is about more than where you come from. It’s also about what you choose to do with your journey and how you carry that identity with you. That’s what connected me to Motherland and this collection. The designs are simple but they have a strong presence, and that feels very close to how I approach my own work; stay true to who you are and let that speak for itself.”

The ‘Made in India’ collection is now available at Motherland Superstore.

A year ago, Sunidhi Mishra couldn’t have told you what SAP stood for. Today, SAP powers the finance, supply chain, and HR operations of 99 of the world’s 100 largest companies—and Mishra has a certification, and a job offer, to show she understands them.

SAP Learning Hub, student edition

“When I first heard about SAP, it felt huge and out of reach,” says Mishra, who studied at DBS Global University, Dehradun, and is originally from Prayagraj. Then she found SAP Learning Hub, student edition, a free program that gives final-year students in India access to the same systems those companies run on. “Practicing on real SAP systems changed everything for me.” By the time she took her SAP Certification exam, the platform had turned an intimidating acronym into a credential. She was placed on campus soon after. “Going from ‘What is SAP?’ to ‘I’m globally certified and placed’ still feels surreal,” she says.

For students heading into one of the toughest job markets in years, that feeling is becoming familiar. Across campuses, students who once assumed SAP was an engineer’s domain are discovering it’s a certification that doubles as career validation.

The offer is simple—eligible final-year students get no-cost access to SAP Learning Hub, student edition, including expert-led sessions, learning journeys, and two SAP Certification exam attempts.

Aayan Kumar, an MBA Finance graduate from DBS Global University, says SAP Certification gave him an edge. “It added substantial value to my profile during campus placements and played an important role in securing my position at BP (British Petroleum),” he says.

The impact extends beyond business students. Ananya Agrawal, studying Computer Science at SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, sees SAP Learning Hub, student edition as a foundation for the next wave of enterprise technology. “Elevating this foundation with an SAP Generative AI Developer certification has given me the tools to integrate advanced AI into the ERP landscape,” she says.

Different campuses and majors. The same conclusion. Understanding how the world’s largest companies operate is becoming table stakes for graduates.

For India’s final-year students in placement season, it’s the difference between a resume that lists a degree and one that proves, with a globally recognized certification, that the person is ready to work on day one.

Eligible final-year students in India can register for SAP Learning Hub, student edition at https://learning.sap.com/free-student-edition.

Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles is gearing up for the biggest evolution yet of its Jawa 42 portfolio. When Jawa returned to India in 2018, the storied brand, part of Classic Legends, remained true to a legacy built on firsts. Jawa has always chosen to stay different, whether through design, performance and engineering or its connection with motorcycle racing.

Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles is gearing up for the biggest evolution of its Jawa 42 portfolio with the upcoming Jawa All Stars launch

Jawa’s history is made of pioneering moments. In the 1960s, the brand introduced auto-clutch, bringing engineering innovation to the world of motorcycles. Around the same time, the beloved motorcycle became a popular name in racing, competing on tracks and inspiring generations of riders with its spirited performance. Jawa’s character has been shaped by that racing heritage ever since.

Following Jawa’s return to India, the brand’s legacy of firsts continued. The Jawa 42 became India’s first neo-classic motorcycle, bringing together classic Jawa design and performance engineering in a new format for Indian riders. Its pastel colour palette and off-centre instrument cluster gave it a distinctive identity, while dual-channel ABS and a liquid-cooled engine brought modern technology and performance to the segment. The iconic “Jawa Is Back” campaign amplified anticipation even further, with the overwhelming response leading to 100,000 online bookings.

Soon after, Jawa scripted another first with the 42 Bobber, establishing the bobber category in India. With its unmistakable factory-custom character, cantilever seat and rear mono-shock suspension, the 42 Bobber introduced a fresh interpretation of the bobber format. The 42 Bobber quickly became a cultural statement of individuality and went on to soon become the most loved Bobber of India. This year it also won the Style Icon of the Year award.

The Jawa journey has continued with the contemporary 42 FJ, bringing another distinctive interpretation of the neo-classic motorcycle to the 42 family. Its brushed aluminium tank panels added a distinctive design element, while the wider Classic Legends portfolio continued to expand its presence in the mid-sized premium motorcycle segment through its classics, neo-classics and factory-custom motorcycles. Its standout design went on to earn widespread acclaim, including two Viewers’ Choice Motorcycle of the Year awards.

Through its evolution, Jawa has always chosen to create something distinct rather than follow the norm. In turn, it has won over a certain kind of rider. One who appreciates design, is confident in their choices and does not need their motorcycle to conform. The Jawa customer is, in many ways, a reflection of the brand itself.

Jawa has built its story around firsts. Jawa riders have built theirs around their choices. Perhaps that is the reason the relationship between the brand and its riders has endured.

The quiet yet distinctive code of the Jawa rider preserves individuality while fostering a strong sense of belonging among like-minded riders. This shared spirit has helped create strong riding communities across India through the years, which today come together under Nomads Kommuniti, the company’s riding collective.

Making motorcycles for people who are comfortable taking the road less travelled, it is now ready with its biggest-ever reveal for the 42 range, with Jawa All Stars teasers now out on its social media handles and official website – www.jawayezdimotorcycles.com

About Classic Legends Pvt. Ltd. & BSA Motorcycles
Classic Legends Pvt. Ltd. was founded with a vision to reintroduce iconic motorcycle brands in India & international markets. The company currently boasts an elaborate portfolio constituting Jawa, Yezdi & BSA marquee brands. It aims to bring consumers a quintessential motorcycling lifestyle experience by co-creating exciting product and service offerings within its motorcycling ecosystem and bringing back renewed fervour into the performance-classic motorcycle market.

Our association with Bisleri allowed us to do just that, bringing the franchise to life through limited-edition bottle designs and a high-impact on-ground activation.

The collaboration was amplified through a high-octane, 360-degree marketing campaign spanning digital engagement, retail visibility and an impactful outdoor activation. Taking the excitement directly to the streets, a spectacularly branded Spider-Man: Brand New Day x Bisleri truck traversed Mumbai, generating high-impact OOH visibility and building excitement among fans around the film’s theatrical release.
 

The limited-edition Bisleri bottles were made available across general and modern trade outlets pan-India, allowing consumers and Spider-Man fans to be part of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day experience.

About Spider-Man: Brand New Day
It’s a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves – a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.

Montran India, a leading global financial infrastructure technology company, hosted the 2026 edition of the Montran India Summit, bringing together senior leaders from banks, financial institutions, regulators and market infrastructure institutions to discuss the next phase of India’s digital financial ecosystem. Shri Adv. Ashish Shelar – Hon’ Minister, Government of Maharashtra for Information Technology, Electronics, Artificial Intelligence, and Cultural Affairs delivered the keynote address at the Summit, which was held under the theme “India – Watched by the World. Building What’s Next.”

(L-R): Sujeet Tyagi, COO, Montran India; Shri Adv. Ashish Shelar, Hon’ Minister, Government of Maharashtra for IT, Electronics, AI, and Cultural Affairs; Julie Esca, CEO, Montran India

The Summit focused on India’s evolving financial ecosystem and the next set of opportunities across payments, capital markets and emerging technologies. Discussions centred on how India can build on the scale achieved in digital payments while developing financial infrastructure that is faster, more resilient and equipped for an increasingly real-time economy. As part of the programme, Montran also showcased its work around AI-led Payment Intelligence, highlighting how artificial intelligence and greater automation can strengthen areas such as fraud and risk management across increasingly complex digital payment environments.

Speaking on the occasion, Julie Esca, CEO, Montran India, said, “India has already won the first phase of its fintech journey by achieving extraordinary speed, scale and adoption. The next phase will be defined by trust, built transaction by transaction through resilient infrastructure, stronger authentication and fraud detection, and technology that performs reliably every time. India’s regulatory landscape, transaction volumes and customer expectations are evolving at an unmatched pace, compelling the industry to continuously innovate. The solutions we are developing here are not only addressing the needs of one of the world’s most demanding financial markets but are also strengthening Montran’s global product capabilities. As financial infrastructure becomes increasingly real-time and intelligent, lasting partnerships between banks, regulators and technology providers will be critical.”

Shri Adv. Ashish Shelar, said, “India’s digital public infrastructure has demonstrated how technology can democratise access to financial services at an unprecedented scale. If the previous decade was about democratizing access, the next must be about democratizing intelligence through responsible AI. As India’s financial capital, Mumbai is well positioned to become a global centre for financial technology innovation, where companies can design in Maharashtra, build for India and scale for the world. As we move forward, security by design, accountability by design and inclusion by design must remain non-negotiable. By combining India’s scale with global expertise, we can build financial systems that are faster, more resilient and accessible, and help define the future of global finance.”

The Summit featured two panel discussions examining key developments across India’s financial infrastructure. The capital markets discussion highlighted how India’s successful instant payments revolution has helped pave the way for a rapid and seamless transition to T+1 securities settlement, while positioning the market for a future move to T+0. India’s securities market infrastructures also shared how their technology strategies are enabling progress on multiple fronts, notably tokenization and internationalization, with the resulting efficiencies and opportunities set to benefit the country’s large and fast-growing investor base. The second explored how banks and financial institutions can build more resilient, scalable and AI-enabled payment systems for an increasingly always-on digital economy.

The discussions pointed to a broader shift underway in India’s financial ecosystem: having built payments infrastructure at a scale few markets have matched, the industry is now turning to what comes next, from faster securities settlement to more resilient, AI-enabled risk management. Montran said the Summit will continue to serve as an annual platform for that conversation, as Montran India works with the industry to build the country’s next generation of financial infrastructure.

Senior representatives from NSDL, NSE Clearing Limited, IFSCA, Bank of India, Axis Bank and Montran participated in the panel discussions, sharing perspectives on the evolving payments and capital markets landscape.

There are moments when the world of science pauses, white coats give way to music, and hands trained for surgical precision discover a different rhythm. That was the spirit of “Songs of the Soul,” a two-day celebration at Eugenix Hair Sciences marking the inauguration of its newly expanded third floor at Notan Plaza, Bandra West, Mumbai.

Combining soulful artistry with precision science Dr. Pradeep Sethi, Co-founder of Eugenix Hair Sciences (AIIMS New Delhi , Alumnus), celebrating transformation that touches lives!
 

Bringing together accomplished musicians and Eugenix’s own doctor-artists, the evening celebrated a unique duality at the heart of the brand: surgeons who have mastered not only the science of hair restoration, but the artistry within it. The same precision with which they design a natural hairline, read facial proportions and place every graft found expression through music and performance. A story that beautifully captured the spirit of the evening was that of Utkal Gaurav International School, a philanthropic initiative by Eugenix that embodies the brand’s belief in meaningful transformation. What began over a decade ago in a humble thatched hut, with a vision to make quality education accessible, has today grown into an English-medium international school nurturing young minds through values, excellence and holistic education. Inspired by the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, the school’s ethos of bringing “Eastern spiritual values alongside Western efficiency” resonates deeply with Eugenix’s own belief in harmonising modern science with human values. Its journey from humble beginnings to an institution shaping young lives served as a powerful reminder that true transformation is not simply about how far we go, but about the lives we touch, the values we nurture and the possibilities we create along the way.
 

The celebration brought together Shankar Mahadevan, Shekhar Ravjiani, Anup Jalota, Arun Govil, Padma Shri awardee Sudarshan Pattnaik, the Sabri Brothers, Raghav Juyal, Gurmeet Choudhary, Shweta Pandit, Altamash Faridi, Shadab Faridi, Surinder Pal, Akash Chopra, Sneha Mahajan, and other prominent personalities. It was also graced by business and healthcare leaders including Dr. Kiran Godse, dermatologist; Abhay Soi, Managing Director of Max Healthcare; Viraf Sarkari, Co-founder of Wizcraft; and Vandana M. Jagwani, alongside Dr. Pradeep Sethi’s close peers and well-wishers.
 

Reflecting on the evening, Dr. Pradeep Sethi, Co-founder, Eugenix Hair Sciences (AIIMS New Delhi, Alumnus), said, “For us, progress has never been about how far we go, but how deeply we make a difference. Eugenix began humbly, in a small basement in Rishikesh, with little more than a belief in what was possible. Today, as we grow across Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Odisha, with Bengaluru soon to join our journey, what gives us the greatest sense of fulfilment is not the scale, but the lives we have been privileged to touch along the way. ‘Songs of the Soul’ was a moment to pause with gratitude and celebrate the people, stories and values that have shaped us. As we grow, we remain committed to bringing together scientific excellence, artistry and human connection, and to ensuring that the soul of Eugenix remains unchanged, wherever the journey takes us.”
 

Sharing her thoughts, Dr. Arika Bansal, Co-founder, Eugenix Hair Sciences (AIIMS New Delhi, Alumna), said, “‘Songs of the Soul’ was a deeply meaningful celebration of the journey we have shared and the people who have been part of it. At Eugenix, we have always believed that excellence in healthcare is built not only on science and innovation, but also on empathy, trust and human connection. Seeing our doctors come together through music was a wonderful reminder of the person behind the profession. As Eugenix continues to evolve, we remain committed to advancing hair restoration with the highest standards of clinical excellence, while staying true to the values and relationships that have shaped our journey.”
 

Combining soulful artistry with the precision of science, the evening celebrated a shared belief: that true transformation touches not just how we look, but how we feel and who we become.

DS-Verse celebrates where we come from while reminding us that the journey is far from over.”
