Indians Embrace Diwali Celebrations Family Travel, Spiritual Journeys and Festive Getaways Take Centre Stage

Mumbai, 17 October 2025: Diwali 2025 marks a vibrant shift in the way Indians celebrate moving beyond traditional home gatherings to immersive travel experiences that reflect celebration, discovery, and togetherness. Thomas Cook (India) Limited, India’s leading omnichannel travel services company, and its group company, SOTC Travel, have witnessed a growing trend  in consumer preferences, with families including multigenerational groups, group of friends, couples  increasingly choosing to make travel an integral part of their Diwali celebrations.

Rajeev Kale, President & Country Head, Holidays, MICE, Visa  Thomas Cook (India) Limited, said, “There is a growing trend where families, including multi-generations, are choosing to celebrate special occasions and festivals like Diwali – for bonding time and celebrations, while exploring favourite/new destinations. What’s particularly interesting is the increase in average spends, with travellers opting for longer stays—moving from traditional 3-day breaks to 6–12 day holidays. Multigenerational families are maximising school vacations for Diwali, while millennials and working professionals are combining weekends with festive holidays for extended getaways.  Top international favorites include Europe’s Switzerland, France, Italy, Austria, Spain and Portugal. Australia and New Zealand remain popular for their outdoor experiences and wildlife encounters, while Japan and South Korea appeal to younger travellers with their blend of tradition and pop culture. Short-haul favourites include Vietnam, Oman, Maldives, Bali and Cambodia emerging strongly. Visa-free and easy visa destinations like Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Dubai-Abu Dhabi, Indonesia and the Philippines continue to drive demand. 

On the domestic front, travellers are choosing destinations like Kerala, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Andamans as well as spiritual circuits like Char Dham, Kailash Mansarovar, Ayodhya-Prayagraj and Varanasi. Based on the growing appetite from young India’s millennials for outdoor adventure, we have created unique ‘Pilgrimage Plus’ portfolio that blends darshans with adventure— river rafting in Rishikesh, trekking in Uttarakhand, paragliding in Bir and ziplining over the Ganges. 

Given the rising popularity of festival travel, there’s understandably an expected increase in rates. As a result, we have observed a trend where travellers are securing airfares by booking well in advance. At Thomas Cook, we’ve curated festive portfolios that blend tradition with exploration including our regional group tours with on-tour pujas and curated vegetarian meals. With travellers seeking meaningful and memorable experiences, our focus remains on crafting journeys that celebrate the spirit of the season.”

S.D. Nandakumar, President & Country Head – Holidays & Corporate Tours, SOTC Travel, shared, “Traditionally, Indian festivals have been centred around home rituals and family gatherings. However, we are witnessing a strong shift—families are increasingly celebrating by travelling, blending tradition with exploration, relaxation and quality time. We have designed our Diwali festive packages curated specially for families and multi-generational groups. We are seeing interest not only from India’s metros but also from regional India’s tier 2 and 3 markets, reflecting a strong, nationwide aspiration to travel. 

A growing trend among young migrant professionals is extending their weekend, travelling back home to spend quality time with family and celebrate the festive season together for a 5–6 day break. Cruises are also gaining popularity and to elevate this experience, we’ve partnered with Disney Cruise Line for exclusive sailings from Australia–New Zealand, bringing the magic of Disney closer to home; also domestic sailings like Cordelia’s festive sailings are seeing strong interest from Young India’s millennials and Gen Z, couples and working professionals looking for a quick break. 

Spiritual Tourism is a strong trend this festive season and we are witnessing interest in spiritual circuits like Char Dham, Kashi, Ayodhya, Rameswaram, Tirupati, Amritsar, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Dwarka and Sri Lanka, with special themed tours such as ‘Ramayan Anant Yatra’ and ‘Ramayan Trails’—offering a deeper connection with faith and culture during the festive season. 

What is noteworthy is that Indians being value-seekers are smart planners — most having booked their holidays well in advance, recognising surge festive fares and the risk of last-minute disappointment; also coupled with BOGO offers and discounts, travellers are now maximizing their holidays.”

With travellers seeking to rediscover togetherness in new destinations, festive travel in 2025 is redefining the meaning of home and celebration. Whether through moments of devotion, adventure, or discovery, Indians are embracing travel as a heartfelt expression of festive spirit and family bonding.

International Day of Rural Women: Stories of Empowerment Through Skill-Building

India, 16th october 2025: The vision of a future-forward, inclusive, and economically vibrant India is incomplete without the participation of women in the workforce. With equal access to education, economic opportunities, and safety, women can drive social change, overcome socio-cultural barriers, and confidently run businesses. Initiatives like Mudra Yojana and Stand-Up India have contributed to an increase in the Female Labour Force Participation Rate, from 23.3% in 2017–18 to 41.7% in 2023–24. However, the Economic Survey 2024–25 highlights that women still own only 22% of India’s MSMEs, most of which are micro-enterprises.

To empower aspiring women entrepreneurs, Transform Rural India (TRI), a development design organisation, is working to transform India’s bottom 100,000 villages into thriving localities. Through scalable and grounded solutions, TRI is creating entrepreneurial ecosystems that provide counselling, skill development, financial literacy workshops, and peer group meetings to foster collaboration and resource sharing within communities. Many rural women have emerged as inspiring examples of resilience and enterprise.

1. Padma Patel

Padma (35) from Kari village, Barwani district, Madhya Pradesh, is now the proud owner of Muskan Saree Shop & Silai Centre. Born into a family engaged in agricultural labour and goat herding, she initially ran a small bangle shop to support her family. Her journey took a transformative turn when she joined TRI’s Entrepreneurship Development Program (EDP) through the Enterprise Facilitation Hub.

With guidance from TRI’s Nari Adhikar Kendra, she strengthened her financial literacy and business skills. Padma expanded her shop to include sarees and a sewing counter. Today, she enjoys a thriving business during festive and wedding seasons and plans to establish a dedicated sewing centre on newly acquired land. She actively inspires other women to acquire skills and leverage resources to realise their dreams.

2. Anita Wagh

Anita (32), from Kansul village, Pansemal, Barwani district, could not complete education beyond Class 10. Yet, she turned her tailoring skills into a profession after marriage, starting the Jai Dasha Mata Silai Center. With support from a self-help group and guidance from TRI’s Pansemal Enterprise Facilitation Hub and Nari Adhikar Kendra, she trained under TRI’s Accelerated Entrepreneurship Development Program (AEDP) to gain marketing and strategic skills.

Relocating her centre to Pansemal, Anita serves women from nearby villages, focusing on quality, versatility, and timely delivery. Today, she runs a successful enterprise and plans to expand into a cloth shop, gaining financial independence and respect within her family and community.

3. Rukhsana Bi

Rukhsana (33) from Julwaniya, Barwani, has established her own Ayesha Collection Cloth Shop. Limited education and social constraints initially restricted her to household duties. With the support of her husband and in-laws and guidance from TRI’s Enterprise Facilitation Hub, Rukhsana developed a business plan, identified a market gap, and secured support through a self-help group.

Her shop now serves families in Julwaniya and surrounding villages, providing her with financial independence and social recognition. Rukhsana contributes to family decisions, educates her children, and plans to expand into a full-fledged shop in the near future.

TEAS Winner Meenakshi Debuts Solo Exhibition at Anupa Mehta Contemporary Art

Anupa Mehta Contemporary Art’s TEAS award recipient Meenakshi has launched her first solo exhibition 

Mumbai: October 15, 2025 : To celebrate Mahatma Gandhi’s 156th birth anniversary, the Anupa Mehta Contemporary Art (AMCA) gallery is showcasing the debut project of its award-winning artist Meenakshi Nihalani till October 25. The art project titled ‘Seven Yards of Blue’ which is inspired by Gandhi’s letters around the Champaran Satyagraha and chronicles its impact on the farmers of India, is scheduled till October 13 at the art gallery. 

Artist Meenakshi Nihalani was the recipient of AMCA’s first ever ‘The Emerging Artist Solo’ (TEAS) award that recognises emerging artists whose work focuses on subjects of socio-political and economic relevance. The exhibition is curated by Anupa Mehta and supported by Hampi Art Labs, where Meenakshi recently completed her residency.

The Champaran movement, led by Gandhi in 1917, was India’s first significant civil disobedience campaign focused on ending forced indigo cultivation. Meenakshi’s immersive installation works, combining textiles and sculpture, explore the plight of indigo farmers, chronicling their resilience amid colonial oppression and creating a nuanced dialogue between the past and present. 

“We are very excited to display Meenakshi’s impactful work at AMCA as a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi during this very special month that celebrates his birth anniversary. This exhibition allows us to reflect on the enduring relevance of resistance, justice, and self-reliance. We look forward to having many more meaningful conversations in the years to come with the TEAS award and we hope to keep inspiring fresh new talent to express their views on relevant socio-political and economic events through contemporary art,” said Anupa Mehta, gallerist and curator. 

As an annual event, the TEAS award and exhibition program aims to launch and nurture emerging talent, fostering vital cultural dialogues both within India and internationally. The highly anticipated opening is expected to attract artists, collectors, critics, and audiences eager to experience a powerful confluence of art, history, and activism.

Roots at Mahindra University reveals stellar line-up bridging tradition and youth

Hyderabad, 15th October 2025: Mahindra Group’s newest cultural initiative, Roots at Mahindra  University – a one day festival bridging ancient traditions with today’s youth – has finally unveiled its  line-up of diversely talented artists. With this new IP, Mahindra is breaking ground by empowering  students to create a living, breathing ecosystem where heritage becomes an active, two-way dialogue.  The festival will place the next generation at the very heart of cultural sustainability.  

India’s cultural heritage is diverse, and shifting every few hundred kilometres. But what happens  when this thriving culture faces the danger of becoming a niche? For a generation of digital natives,  these traditions are not just about history but a piece of identity shedding away. So, they want to  extend their efforts towards sustaining these traditions and confluence it into the mainstream. And  from this desire, Roots at Mahindra University was born. The students’ mission is simple but  profound: to give unique legacy art forms a stage in the here and now. 

And the line-up of the festival reflects this very philosophy with: The Raghu Dixit Project, pioneers  of India’s folk-rock movement who have redefined Kannada folk poetry for global audiences.  Swarathma, who turns music into environmental, social and cultural activism with electrifying  performances. Bringing a northern flavour is Alif, aka, Mohammed Muneem Nazir, a poet, singer 

songwriter from Kashmir. His work on Coke Studio Bharat and Made In Heaven is steeped in ideas of  identity, longing, and resilience. Not to forget Hamza Rahimtula + Rajasthan Folkstars’ rare  dialogue between DJing and Manganiyar traditions led by Khartal virtuoso Jaisa Khan and Firoz Khan  on the Bhapang and Morchang. It started as a spontaneous collaboration that has pushed Rajasthani  folk into global dance circuits.  

Meanwhile, there’s Gotte Kanakavva, the 65-year-old daily-wage worker and farmer who is now a  folk icon, awarded and celebrated for keeping Bathukamma songs alive. Lastly, Arko and Friends ft.  Gaboo’s fresh collaboration will bring together Bollywood with indie experimentation, bridging  popular and alt music.  

“Young people often express the need to reconnect to India’s artistic traditions, and believe they must  shoulder the responsibility to both preserve and reinvent them. Roots is a manifestation of this belief.  This is not nostalgia but a generational mandate. It is their way of saying that culture is not a museum  exhibit but alive, and belongs in the present to the young. By bringing forgotten art forms through  authentic acts in contemporary spaces, Roots is not just preserving traditions but evolving them,” said  Jay Shah, Vice President, Head – Cultural Outreach, Mahindra & Mahindra

Dr. Yajulu Medury, Vice Chancellor of Mahindra University, added, “Roots is not a festival planned  from the top down for the attendees. The very generation it endeavours to inspire is the one building it  piece by piece from the ground up – not just as volunteers but as cultural entrepreneurs. And the line-up  of the festival embodies this ethos of not just preserving the past but making it relevant for the future.” 

Roots at Mahindra University promises not just performances but a cultural movement  demonstrating how the youth has the power and the responsibility to keep the chain of memory alive,  and become guardians of India’s cultural future.

Record-Low Inflation Opens Window for Growth Acceleration: PHDCCI

India, 14th oct 2025: CPI has seen a sharp decline in India’s headline inflation to 1.54% in September 2025, the lowest in over eight years according to the date released by Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation today.

“The record-low inflation offers a strong foundation for India’s next phase of growth. It is a moment of opportunity to revitalize private investment, stimulate consumption, and accelerate job creation,” said Mr. Rajeev Juneja, President, PHDCCI in a press statement issued here today.

Food inflation (Provisional) registered a –2.28 % year-on-year decline, extending its downward trend for the fourth consecutive month. Among categories, the sharpest declines were driven by lower inflation in vegetables, oil & fats, fruits, pulses, cereals, eggs, as well as moderated increases in energy and fuel prices. Better arrivals of vegetables, cereals, and pulses at mandis led to a correction in retail prices, he said.

He added, “The moderation in food and fuel prices has provided much-needed relief to households and improved purchasing power. Going forward, we urge the government to leverage this price stability to enhance credit availability, ease of doing business, and export competitiveness, especially for MSMEs and labour-intensive sectors.”

This phase of low inflation should be complemented by accelerated implementation of infrastructure and logistics projects to lower input costs, further support for agriculture supply chains to prevent food price spikes, and continued focus on technology-driven productivity gains in manufacturing and services, he added.

We anticipate that India’s inflation will remain within a comfortable range over the next two quarters, supported by adequate food supplies, moderate energy costs, and prudent monetary management by the Reserve Bank of India said Dr. Ranjeet Mehta, CEO & Secretary General, PHDCCI.
