#GoVocalForLocal' is not just a catchphrase anymore. It has catapulted into the need of the hour and intent behind every bargain that we do. As India celebrates 73 years of Independence, we have put together a special issue on ‘Vocal about Local’, which is in keeping with our government’s thought process of promoting local produce, local crafts and craftsmen.

Our cover story celebrates the Unstoppable Woman, who has reached the top in some of the most male-dominated areas.From India’s only woman Lieutenant General Madhuri Kanitkar to champion racing driver Alisha Abdullah to the captain of Team India’s women’s cricket team Harmanpreet Kaur, we have featured women who have shattered the glass ceiling to reach the top, in fields always been considered the male bastion.

The deadly COVID-19 pandemic has taught us a big lesson - go back to your roots, connect with nature and all things natural. It is time to adopt a mindful approach and make sustainable fashion choices by opting for ethical brands. Take a cue from Rakul Preet Singh and build a new minimalist wardrobe in our fashion edit.
