India is a marvel of diversity, boasting a multitude of
cultures, a rich heritage, grand structures, and the sheer
magnificence of villages, cities, towns, and metros that
adorn its landscape. Over the years, this cultural hub has
drawn tourists from worldover for leisure and business.

In recent times, a notable shift has occurred, with Indians
increasingly inclined to explore their own country. This
shift has breathed new life into the travel and tourism
industry, a trend that gained momentum in the wake of
the Covid-19 pandemic.

Our cover story focuses on India’s evolving tourism
industry, which is at the threshold of transformation. This
change is driven by innovation, changing preferences,

India-UK Free Trade Agreement, the weak demand in
India’s tea sector, guidance for investors that are
considering SME IPOs, the flourishing pipe sector in India,

season, and the future of digital dating apps in India.

before planning for retirement, and another one detailing
the proposed changes in health insurance policies aimed
at benefiting policyholders. Also, you will find an article
highlighting the global influence of wealthy Indians in the
