To break the cycle of high-pressure work, you pencil in a mid-week dinner at the Gaggan in Bangkok. Friday dinner with Granny for her 80th birthday. You will need a lovely present for her. How about her favourite teas from Fortnum Mason? Then for the weekend, shopping and sightseeing in Hong Kong. It is a great plan - you just need someone to get it all sorted. This is where Indulge Global Concierge come in. Through their partnerships with global vendors, they help provide personalised services to their clients. The quality of their service has seen them grow to 1000 UNHI (Ultra-High-Net Worth Individuals) which include celebrities and industrialists in two short years since their inception.
Founded by Karan Bhangay and Advita Bihani, Indulge Global is dedicated to delivering luxury experiences tailored to high-profile individuals. BW Businessworld caught up with ADVITA BIHANI to take a peek into the Indulge Global world.
What inspired you to start Indulge Global Concierge?
Karan Bhangay had over a decade of experience in delivering luxury experiences, and through his journey, he realised that the desire for such experiences was there but the access needed to create them was lacking. Then during the Covid lockdown, we found a gap in the market. The possibility of procuring international products was restricted and it led us to create a concierge service that extends across the globe. The initial team was just the two of us. Today we are 30 people, and continue to expand the team.
