“My desire is to open the Indian doors to luxury brands from various countries and
to strengthen the voice of India abroad – the idea is to create an increased pool of
knowledge and competence. It is the alliance of tradition and modernity, expertise and
creativity, history and innovation. Indian luxury is the envy of the world ; it owes
its success to an admirable pool of talent. This talent is our treasure that we need to
nurture & protect”
Founder Ritu Beri
