Dear Readers,
As we step into June, many of us find ourselves longing for that first spell of rain. After months of sweltering heat, the promise of monsoon feels less like a season and more like a much-awaited relief. While the rains may still be a few weeks away, they already bring with them thoughts of cooler skies, slower mornings, and, of course, travel.
This month, we celebrate the spirit of monsoons and travel with a feature story on offbeat destinations across India—places where tranquillity meets adventure. At a time when the Prime Minister has encouraged Indians to explore domestic tourism, and with the rupee weakening against several global currencies, more travellers are rediscovering the richness of experiences within the country. From mist-covered hills to hidden retreats, our curated monsoon escapes prove that some of the most memorable journeys are often found closer to home.
Gracing our cover this month is Bollywood’s rising heartthrob Vedang Raina, who continues to win audiences following The Archies and Jigra. What makes Vedang stand out is not just his easy charm, but his honesty about still being in the middle of his journey. In an industry often built on polished certainty, his grounded outlook makes him one of the most exciting young names to watch.
In People in Focus, we celebrate inspiring individuals shaping conversations around wellness, leadership, and innovation. Shilpa Bhagat, Co-Founder of Fitistan – Ek Fit Bharat, continues to inspire healthier lifestyles across the country, while Dr Sunaina Shrivastava, behavioural scientist, entrepreneur, and marketing leader, offers fascinating insights into growth, behavioural strategy, and innovation.
