With Fairmont Udaipur Palace and Accor as hospitality partner, BMW Excellence Club as Luxury Mobility Partner, The Macallan as Experience Partner, Vedica as Hydration Partner, Titan Nebula as Celebrations Partner and Aabee as the Luxury Travel and Concierge Partner, the two-day event brought together a select group of tastemakers, entrepreneurs and creative leaders to commemorate a year that established Robb Report India as the country's most considered voice in luxury media.
Avarna Jain, Chairperson of RPSG Lifestyle Media, said, “India is at an exciting inflection point in shaping the global luxury narrative. For Robb Report India and RPSG Lifestyle Media to play a part in taking India’s stories of craftsmanship, culture and contemporary luxury to the world is a matter of immense pride. Since its launch in September 2025, Robb Report India has sought to set a new benchmark for luxury storytelling and experiences.”
Robb Report India has been the gold standard in luxury media, offering insights across automobiles, travel, fine dining, real estate and rare collectibles. The publication has positioned itself as a title that sets trends rather than follows them.
Robb Report curates the world’s finest offerings for a readership increasingly setting the terms of global living rather than simply following them, while its India edition upholds that approach with purpose.
Off the pages, Robb Report India has developed its own identity through a series of experiences. The RR Experience series, which is invite-only and built around access to spaces and people not ordinarily in the public eye, began in Udaipur before moving to Jai Vilas Palace in Gwalior for Palace Privé in April 2026. Priyadarshini Raje Scindia and her son, Mahaaryaman Scindia, opened their ancestral home to a gathering that included well-known names from Bollywood, fashion, business and culture.
With Chapter One: The Circle of Influence, Robb Report India returned to Udaipur, where the RR Experience began. Fairmont Udaipur Palace, set within the Aravalli hills and offering views across its surroundings, provided the setting for the anniversary celebration and marked a significant luxury address in Rajasthan.
The programme also saw the launch of the coveted RR Circle Members 2026-2027 and unfolded over two days with celebrations and opportunities to build connections among guests from business, fashion, art, sports, Bollywood, royal families and the country’s top tastemakers.
Day one began with lunch, followed by Celebration Experiences in the afternoon and a VIP gala at the Imperial Ballroom. During a fireside chat, Jain was joined by Bollywood legend Kajol, who spoke about 30 years of Simran and her understanding of luxury as the ability and bandwidth to have choice, whether it was choosing a slow morning, deciding whether to work or not, or choosing who she is.
Guests were served a curated menu inspired by local flavours, while Jasleen Royal delivered a private performance featuring hits such as ‘Love You Zindagi’ and ‘Heeriye’. She also invited former international cricketer Suresh Raina on stage for an impromptu performance.
The celebrations continued with an after-party at Dahaad, where DJ Aqeel performed an exclusive set for guests. His set included favourites such as ‘Kali Kali Ankhein’, ‘Tu Mera Hero’ and ‘Baby’, with the party continuing into the early hours.
Day two began with early risers and enthusiastic guests playing padel and relaxing in the hotel’s pool, followed by breakfast before departure.
High-profile guests included RPSG Vice-Chairman and Vice-President of CII 2026-27, Shashwat Goenka; Shivika Goenka, Director of Education and Luxury at RPSG; design couturiers Rahul and Divya Mishra; art and design tastemakers including gallerists Prateek and Priyanka Raja, Bhavna Kakkar, designers Gautam Seth and Prateek Jain from Klove, and artist Paresh Maity.
The guest list also included jewellers Tarang Arora and Siddharth Kasliwal from Amrapali and Gem Palace, respectively, along with several royal family members including the Mewar royal family, Alsisar and Karauli.
Aindrila Mitra, Editor, Robb Report India, said, “Robb Report India has had a remarkable year one with the launch of various IPs like The Robb Report Table, Culinary Masters, At Home with Royalty and our marquee RR Experience. And while we step towards Chapter Two, it will be our endeavour to steer this title towards Luxury with Purpose. Where multi-format immersive content, access and mindful storytelling become our hallmarks.”
