Indian Bag Brands - Design-First Movement

For the last couple of months, I've been away from LinkedIn but I’m back to this collaborative platform. I now lead the Lifestyle and Viral verticals at News18. 🌻 It’s been a fast, slightly chaotic but high-energy shift into the world of trends and real-time storytelling, and easy to say, I have missed the depth and rhythm of longform. Slowly but surely, I’ll now get back to features that take their time, and say a little more. I am working on a couple of ideas and if you think you or your brands fit the bill, reach out to me: [email redacted] A feature on India’s design-first bag movement. If your brand is rethinking logos and leaning into aesthetics, textures and craft, reach out on email. A dive on why global hospitality brands are rapidly expanding in India. If you’re a hotel or travel brand with insights on this shift, I'd love to hear from you! DM or write in. I am also exploring the rise of restored havelis as India’s newest luxury addresses. If you run or are reviving a heritage property, share your story and perspective with me via email! From makeup bags to moodboards, beauty is turning into a visual identity. We’re speaking to brands about design-led products, collectible packaging and the “display culture” boom. Drop me an email if you have relevant insights :)
