Turning over a new chapter, a new year, we are thrilled to bring you our first issue of 2022; packed with inspiring stories of success, leadership, luxury, and a plethora of diverse perspectives.

In our cover story this month, we introduce you to the young entrepreneurs who are triggering a tectonic shift in India’s food and beverage industry.

This time, we celebrate 19 such women, who in their own way have made the world a better place to live in.
