This issue—our Travel Special—is a celebration of movement, curiosity and the joy of wandering. From space travel, the next great frontier, to safari adventures beautifully chronicled by the inimitable Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi, we’ve got something for every kind of traveller—including men seeking to reconnect with their most elemental selves. And when it comes to travel, few embody it as effortlessly as our cover star, Aditya Roy Kapur. He’s the kind of guy who’d be just as comfortable backpacking through the mountains as he would be getting lost in the cafés of Barcelona. We’ve often talked about his love for travel—trust me, it’s not just pretty captions. It’s real, grounded and full of stories. Much like him.
 We’ve also tuned into fresh sounds with a photo feature on homegrown music talent. Headlining it is the ‘it’ boy of the moment—Rishab Rikhiram Sharma, Esquire India’s first digital cover star, and the man redefining classical music for a new generation. His presence strikes the perfect closing note on an issue that celebrates movement. So, whether you’re reading this at the airport, on a sunlit verandah, or between travel tabs on your laptop,  this issue reminds you to pack light, dream big and always book that ticket

TIME. IT RACES, YET SAUNTERS CASUALLY. IT’S OMNIPRESENT, WATCHING US AT every moment—until one day, you realise how much you’ve lost or, if you’re lucky, how well you’ve spent it. At Esquire India, we value time. We take legacy, newness, tradition and reinvention very seriously. We capture the present, but always with a keen eye on what came before—and what might follow. The third issue of Esquire India is a nod to that kind of time: one of craftsmanship and credibility, of heritage that doesn’t decay. And no one embodies that better than our cover star, His Highness Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur—fondly known as Pacho.

In this issue, we also present our Big Watch Edition and take a deep dive into the world of horology. From trendspotting at Watches and Wonders 2025 to insightful conversations with the creative forces behind some of the world’s biggest luxury brands, we explore what’s next in the world of watches. Don’t miss our special feature on timeless collectors—the ones who wear passion on their wrists.


Our cover star for this issue is Vicky Kaushal. He has built his career with an unwavering commitment to craft, taking on roles that demand both intensity and emotional depth. He is, in many ways, a reflection of what Esquire India stands for: a man of talent, integrity and effortless style. 
This issue unpacks the IPL, Indian cricket’s biggest summer spectacle, now underway with 10 teams battling it out for the coveted trophy. In a 14-page special, we delve into the league’s origins, its future trajectory, the dark horses and much more. 
This edition also brings together a stellar lineup of distinguished gentlemen, all of who have made a lasting impact in their fields.
 March marks the transition into spring-summer, a season that calls for lightness. In our Style Special, we turn our attention to that ethos, oᰀering a curated take on warm-weather dressing—from the resurgence of short shorts to the freshest fragrances to keep you cool. 
So, whether you pick up this issue for style inspiration, or as a compelling read, or simply to discover something new, we hope it makes you see the season, and perhaps even yourself, a little differently. 

This issue is stacked with stories and shoots worth your time—Neeraj Chopra gears up or his biggest throw yet, menswear muse Ishaan Khatter steps in front of our lens, and V Sunil welcomes us into his ‘man cave.’ And because the Esquire man is nothing without the women who inspire him, we’re making room in the boys’ club for Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Kiran Rao—women we admire, learn from and wouldn’t want to do this without. If Esquire is about being a man at his best, our launch cover star embodies that ideal. For over two decades, Hrithik Roshan has pushed limits, reinvented himself and set new benchmarks in excellence. Now, he reᰀects on his evolution,offering a rare glimpse into his more private side—proving that true greatness isn’t just about strength and success, but about embracing vulnerability.
Esquire India will be more than just pages of impeccably curated fashion and lifestyle—it will be a space for ideas, conversations and the victories of men redefning excellence on their own terms. We’re here to push the boundaries of men’s style, challenge outdated no-tions of masculinity, and bring a bold, fearless perspective to lifestyle journalism in India. 
So here we are. Esquire India has arrived. And trust us—this is just the beginning.
