Indeed, for nearly two decades, Chef Alan D'Mello has been on a remarkable mission... not to teach the world about Indian cuisine, but to challenge the very notion that such a singular entity exists. In his eyes, there is no one "Indian cuisine." Instead, there are thousands of cuisines, each shaped by geography, history, migration, faith, community and centuries of tradition. It is a philosophy that has transformed him from being merely a chef into one of India's most compelling culinary historians, educators and cultural ambassadors.
In an exclusive conversation with Sumita Chakraborty, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, Rishab Jain, Founder, Vercelli, reflects on his entrepreneurial journey, the inspiration behind building Vercelli, the future of experiential luxury retail, and why he believes the next chapter of Indian fashion will belong to brands that don't simply sell clothes... but craft identities, celebrate individuality and create experiences that linger long after the garment is worn.
Some holidays are about ticking destinations off a bucket list. Others become cherished memories that linger long after the bags are unpacked. For actress and social media personality Anita H.

Summer is almost here... and with it comes that unapologetic, sun-drenched energy we secretly (or not so secretly) live for. Think golden hour selfies, breezy brunches, beachy escapes, and skin that looks like it’s been kissed by the sun… not punished by it. Because let’s be honest, while we love the sun, we don’t want the sun damage. This season, TheGlitz says... it’s all about playing.
When summer arrives, your beauty routine calls for a lighter, smarter approach... and your lipstick wardrobe is no exception. Enter Kiro Beauty, where nude lipsticks are reimagined not as a single safe choice, but as a versatile, mood-driven collection designed to move with you through the day.
