The Royal Soiree by Robb Report India
The exclusive gathering brought together an elite mix of visionaries, entrepreneurs, royalties, and tastemakers from across art, design, fashion, and hospitality. Distinguished guests included HH Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Maharani Priyadarshini Raje Scindia, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sanya and Varun Jain, along with Robb Report Circle Members such as Akanksha and Tarang Arora of Amrapali, Sangita Sinh Kathiwada, Raghavendra Rathore, and Yeshwant Holkar, among others.
For its debut experience, Robb Report India curated a 12-hour immersive journey that epitomized refined living. Guests enjoyed personalized service, a private candlelight concert by maestros Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash, and a conversation on Women and Entrepreneurship between Avarna Jain, Chairperson of RPSG Lifestyle Media, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The evening culminated in a Royal Soiree Gala Dinner—a gastronomic celebration of Indian flavours thoughtfully crafted by The Leela Palace Udaipur against the enchanting backdrop of Lake Pichola.
As part of the RR Experience, attendees also indulged in The Leela’s signature hospitality through curated moments including a Pan-Asian lunch at The Library Bar, an Oud zone, a Pichwai crafts corner, and live performances by local artists—reflecting Robb Report India’s commitment to experiential storytelling.
Reflecting on the event, Avarna Jain, Chairperson of RPSG Lifestyle Media, 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, CEO of The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts, added, “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.”
