We work on bringing a large portfolio of brands to the consumer who looks for premium products.” He adds, “Since 2012 we have been organizing the Luxury Expo in different cities where there is a demand for luxury. Initially it was a task to enable, engage and entertain people and to make them understand luxury. Footfalls have now increased during the last few editions as people understand luxury and are now aware of what to expect from the Luxury Expo.”
Mr. Dakshna Moorthy Naidu, Founder-Publisher, Wedding Vows Magazine, a wedding lifestyle magazine for the luxury premium market says, “Luxury is sought after by many today. In the world of weddings especially, the need for luxury and niche services have increased three-fold in the last few years. This expo is sure to satiate those in Chennai who are seeking luxury services and goods, but unable to find them easily.”
Mr. Vishal Reddy, Co-founder, The Indian Luxury Expo, says, “The Indian Luxury Expo is at the forefront of booming luxury market, bringing brands and their audience together in an ideal mood of opulence, awe, fun and shopping. With an intelligently curated multi-city tour of India and abroad, many of our clients don’t look beyond our expo to meet their marketing goals.”
Luxury In India
Luxury is indulgence of the senses. There is an order to this indulgence. Together the senses define our context and our civilizations. Throughout history, luxury has defined clusters of civilizations. Early strongholds of prosperity in history clustered along the Nile and Euphrates as well as the Silk Road. Babylon, Persepolis and Samarkand defined luxury of that era and the then prevalent civilizations prospered. When the Phoenicians prevailed because of their extensive trade, the Mediterranean flourished economically. Strongholds of Mediterranean prosperity then were Athens and Rome; cities like Florence and Venice evolved eventually into the first clusters of luxury hubs that gave rise to technological and aesthetic revolutions.
During the Industrial Revolution London, Manchester and Liverpool flourished economically and, once again, redefined luxury. In the 19th and 20th centuries significant commercial hubs developed on the US – East Coast and afterwards on the US – West Coast. These changes in economic geography have been triggered by discoveries and inventions.
Luxury consumption spearheads a country’s growth economy.
India is set to become the world’s fastest wealth creator in the next few years. Currently India has over 150,000 millionaires. Over a million and a half Indians have more than 100,000 USD in liquid wealth. The Indian customer is spending more on luxury items, whose market is pegged at a whopping Rs 650 billion (US$14.6 billion) and growing at about 14 per cent a year, a new study reveals- Affluence is indeed an indulgence of the senses. Affluence’s greatest enemy is vulgarity, sharing its best virtue. The Indian Luxury Expo is truly a platform to share the afJluence of a nation. And participate in it with revelry and hope.
