For its first RR Experience, Robb Report India curated a 12-hour experiential itinerary fit for royalty. From personalised guest services, a private candlelight performance by Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash, to a tete-a-tete on Women and Entrepreneurship between RPSG Lifestyle Media Chairperson, Avarna Jain, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu—the day wrapped up against the beautiful backdrop of Lake Pichola with The Royal Soiree gala dinner celebrating the flavours of India, especially curated by The Leela Palace Udaipur for the evening.
As part of RR Experience, guests also got a chance to savour the warmth of The Leela hospitality, including a pre-plated Pan-Asian lunch at The Library Bar, an Oud zone, a Pichwai crafts corner and live performances by local artists—as a part of Robb Report India’s focus on curating special moments for every guest.
Avarna Jain, Chairperson of RPSG Lifestyle Media, reflecting on the evening, said, “Luxury isn’t about excess all the time. It lies in the little detailing, creating moments and experiences that live with you forever. We wanted to curate just that. With The Royal Soiree, Robb Report India’s first #RRExperience, it was our endeavour to share a slice of experiential storytelling among guests who are also our readers and understand the DNA of Robb Report. I’m proud to see this community come together — people who value craftsmanship, culture, and conversation in equal measure. Robb Report India is not just about luxury; it’s about a way of life — thoughtful, inspired, and beautifully lived. Here’s to new journeys, shared passions, and the simple pleasure of excellence.”
Anuraag Bhatnagar Chief Executive Officer at The Leela Palaces Hotels and Resorts said, “Luxury today is about crafting stories that linger, where every touchpoint evokes a sense of belonging and wonder. The Royal Soiree embodied this philosophy beautifully. Together with Robb Report India, we curated an experience that celebrated not just the grandeur of The Leela, but also the essence of India’s evolving luxury narrative that is rooted in culture, expressed through artistry, and delivered with warmth.”
