Welcome to Carnival of the Isles at Sun Siyam Olhuveli Maldives, where the festive season is getting a distinctly tropical makeover. Returning from December 21, 2026 to January 8, 2027, the celebration transforms the resort’s three interconnected islands into a sprawling festive playground where the usual Christmas routine gives way to sunrises, sunsets, beach parties, live performances, island adventures and plenty of reasons to stay up late.
In an exclusive conversation with Sumita Chakraborty, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, Avik Chatterjee, CEO, Speciality Restaurants Ltd., opens up about growing up around one of India's most influential restaurant legacies, the evolution of the Indian diner, innovation, new formats and his vision for taking Speciality Restaurants into its next chapter.

Dr. Prakash Amte gives freedom to animals. Muruganantham challenges shame. Arunima Sinha defies physical limits. Laxmi Agarwal reclaims identity. Jadav Payeng gives a forest room to breathe. Ritu Karidhal reaches beyond Earth... This Independence Day, TheGlitz isn't simply celebrating the freedom India won.

We are celebrating the freedoms Indians continue to fight for, create, protect and pass on.

This Independence Day, TheGlitz is raising a toast to India the way we love it best — to dine around a table, over memorable food, with family, friends and a little indulgence. From heartfelt tributes to the Armed Forces and lavish patriotic brunches to inventive India-meets-Korea flavours, festive menus, cocktails, pasta spreads and even tricolour cupcakes, restaurants across cities are giving the national holiday their own delicious interpretation.
In an exclusive interview with Sumita Chakraborty, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, Rashi Morbia Kumar opens up about building The Nook, the loneliness of our hyper-connected world, trusting her instincts as a woman entrepreneur, creating a community rather than simply ta customer base, and why, ultimately, The Nook isn't her product — the human connection is.
In an exclusive interview with Sumita Chakraborty, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, Vincenzo Capuano talks about his three-generation Neapolitan legacy, the science behind his signature Cloud Pizza, the discipline behind becoming a World Champion, and why bringing authentic pizza to India is, for him, about building a bridge between two great food cultures.
