Loca Loca, the innovative tequila brand blending the vibrant cultures of India and Mexico, proudly announces a remarkable achievement at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC). The brand’s Blanco Tequila earned its first Gold medal, while the Reposado Tequila received its inaugural Silver medal, marking a significant milestone on the global stage. "We are incredibly proud of our tequila and the great accolades we received from the world-renowned San Francisco World Spirits Competition for the first time," said Laurence Brady, Regional Head USA of Loca Loca. "Since launching in 2024, these recognitions are a true testament to the quality of our tequilas and we're thrilled to see the brand honoured on such a highly regarded global platform." Loca Loca Tequila, crafted from 100% pure highland agave, balances sweetness and spice to reflect the festive spirit of Mexico alongside the aromatic spices of Indian cuisine. The name itself is a fusion of two worlds: the Spanish "LOCA" meaning crazy, and the Sanskrit "LOKA" meaning world—symbolizing a spirit that transcends borders through a unique cultural blend. Backed by acclaimed actor Rana Daggubati, music composer Anirudh Ravichander—one of Spotify’s top-streamed artists—and entrepreneur Harsha Vadlamudi, Loca Loca brings together creativity and business expertise to craft spirits that tell a story of cross-cultural collaboration. The Blanco Tequila delights with round fruity notes of cooked agave and subtle floral hints, offering a smooth aroma and finish. Meanwhile, the Reposado Tequila, aged 4-6 months in French and American oak barrels, deepens the flavours with richer aromas and a continuation of the Blanco’s delicate profile. Both variants are available at select retailers, priced at $39.99 for Blanco and $49.99 for Reposado. For more details and purchase locations, customers are encouraged to visit Loca Loca’s website or follow them on Instagram. About Loca Loca: Loca Loca is a joint venture led by Indian film star Rana Daggubati, renowned composer Anirudh Ravichander, and entrepreneur Harsha Vadlamudi. Entering the AlcoBev market in 2024, the brand aims to craft exceptional spirits that appeal globally, blending tradition, quality, and storytelling in every bottle.
In a landmark decision to enhance global visibility and streamline observance, the Government of India has officially declared 23rd September as Ayurveda Day, starting from 2025. The change was formally notified through a Gazette Notification dated 23rd March 2025, replacing the earlier practice of celebrating Ayurveda Day on Dhanteras—a date based on the Hindu lunar calendar that varies each year. Ayurveda Day is observed to promote Ayurveda as a holistic, scientific, and preventive healthcare system. Until now, it coincided with Dhanteras in the month of Kartik, typically falling between October and November. However, due to the fluctuating nature of the lunar calendar, organizing consistent national and international observances became increasingly challenging. To address these concerns, the Ministry of Ayush constituted a dedicated committee to explore alternative fixed dates. After evaluating four possible options, 23rd September was selected based on both practical and symbolic merit. The date aligns with the autumnal equinox, a day when day and night are nearly equal—a natural balance that perfectly reflects the core Ayurvedic philosophy of harmony between mind, body, and spirit. The equinox also symbolizes equilibrium in the universe, reinforcing Ayurveda's emphasis on living in sync with nature. The Ministry encourages health professionals, institutions, and international bodies to actively observe Ayurveda Day on 23rd September each year, creating a unified global movement around India’s ancient wellness system. Dr. Smita Naram, Co-Founder of Ayushakti, welcomed the move, stating, “It’ll make Ayurveda treatment a more familiar one and enhance people’s will towards Ayurveda.” She added, “Me and Ayushakti extend our gratitude for upholding the 2500-year-old lineage of the Siddha Veda Tradition of Ayurveda that is healing millions.” With this strategic shift, the Ministry aims to embed Ayurveda more deeply into global healthcare dialogues, strengthening India's presence in preventive and sustainable medicine on the world stage.
On2Cook, an Ahmedabad-based deep-tech startup, has won the German Innovation Award 2025, a major recognition presented by the prestigious German Design Council. The award ceremony was held at Deutsche Technikmuseum in Berlin, honouring global innovations that demonstrate real-world impact and future-forward technology. The award places On2Cook among an elite group of global innovators and highlights India’s growing presence in the deep-tech space. Unlike traditional design awards, the German Innovation Award focuses on six strict parameters: innovation, user benefit, market readiness, economic viability, technical and design quality, and sustainability. With jury members from technology, business, design, and academia, the recognition is seen as a strong industry endorsement. On2Cook’s patented appliance is designed for both speed and efficiency. By combining induction searing, microwave volumetric heating, and AI-powered sensor control, the appliance reduces cooking time by up to 70% and energy usage by 50%. Independent lab tests confirm that it retains nutrients better and delivers consistent flavour and texture. Currently used in over 50 commercial kitchens across India, the US, and the Middle East, the appliance replaces multiple machines, allowing chefs to work faster and businesses to scale more efficiently. “This recognition is a validation of not just our patents, but our mission to make sustainable, intelligent cooking the global norm,” said Sanandan Sudhir, Inventor & CEO of On2Cook. “It shows that world-class hardware innovation can be conceived and engineered in India,” he added. The award is timely as On2Cook prepares for its Series A funding round. It boosts the startup’s credibility with investors, European distributors, and regulatory bodies, strengthening its global expansion and export plans. For Sanandan and Jyoti Sudhir, Co-Founders of both On2Cook and InventIndia, this win is the result of years of belief in human-centred design and purpose-driven technology. From starting the venture in Ahmedabad to receiving global recognition, their journey reflects the resilience and rising potential of Indian startups to shape global industries.

Vietnam also delivers on sustainability, which matters deeply to this younger generation. Eco-resorts like Six Senses Ninh Van Bay and Topas Ecolodge emphasize responsible travel and offer hands-on cultural activities such as rice farming and lantern-making. These resorts give travelers a chance to forge genuine, meaningful connections with local communities. The cultural buzz of Vietnam adds another layer to the experience. Urban hubs like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City boast thriving café cultures and creative spaces like Tranquil Books & Coffee and The Workshop. Music festivals, beach parties in Da Nang and Phu Quoc, and events like the Monsoon Festival blend music, art, and nightlife into unforgettable moments. The tourism sector in Vietnam is increasingly designing packages that appeal directly to young Indian travelers—be it solo adventures, cultural immersions, or budget-friendly group tours. These tailored offerings ensure memorable experiences without breaking the bank. With the introduction of e-visas for Indian citizens and a rise in direct flight connectivity between the two countries, Vietnam is more accessible than ever. This ease of travel is playing a crucial role in driving Gen Z interest. Pop culture influences are also playing a part in the country’s appeal. Vietnam resonates with a Gen Z audience drawn to K-wave aesthetics and modern Asian sensibilities. Its culinary scene—ranging from pho and banh mi to vegan-friendly street eats and minimalist cafés—caters perfectly to foodies who are always hunting for the next Instagrammable bite. With seamless travel systems, digital-first hospitality, eco-conscious offerings, and culturally rich experiences, Vietnam is quickly solidifying its place as a top destination for the next generation of global explorers.
