As the Union Budget 2025 wraps up, leaders across industries are weighing in on its impact. Sanyam Gandhi, Whole Time Director at Chartered Speed, has welcomed the government’s continued focus on infrastructure, sustainable transport, and economic reforms.
He highlighted that the push for Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), including a structured three-year pipeline of state projects and ₹1.5 lakh crore allocated for 50-year interest-free loans, would drive large-scale urban development and mobility advancements. "This initiative creates strong opportunities for better infrastructure and innovative mobility solutions," Gandhi stated.
The budget’s emphasis on expanding EV manufacturing is another significant move, expected to accelerate the growth of multimodal transport, clean energy, and digital infrastructure. Gandhi believes these efforts will hasten the transition towards cleaner, more efficient transport networks, benefiting both businesses and consumers.
“At Chartered Speed, we see significant potential to scale EV adoption and multimodal transport solutions through PPPs and sustainable transit initiatives,” he added.
Additionally, the introduction of a no-income-tax slab for earnings up to ₹12 lakh is expected to stimulate consumer spending, enhancing liquidity in the economy. Gandhi pointed out that this move could lead to an increase in travel-related expenditures, further benefiting the transport and tourism industries.
With these strategic announcements, the budget sets the stage for India’s mobility sector to advance in a sustainable and innovative direction.

NOESIS Capital Advisors has announced that it will host The Branded Residences Summit (TBRS) 2025, scheduled for September 26 at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. This will be India’s first-ever summit dedicated exclusively to branded residences, a rapidly growing segment valued at over $10 billion.
TBRS 2025 is designed as a highly curated platform, bringing together global luxury brands, India’s top developers, investors, and family offices to shape the future of branded living in the country. For the first time, international icons such as IHCL, ITC, Hyatt, Marriott, Banyan Tree, Hilton, Accor, Radisson, YOO, Porcelanosa, Pininfarina, and Trump will share the stage with Indian developers, capital providers, and advisors to explore new collaborations.
Delegates at the summit can look forward to exclusive boardroom discussions, strategic showcases, and direct capital dialogues. The agenda will cover the psychology of luxury buyers, global-local deal structuring, design strategies, and live case studies of landmark projects. With speakers flying in from Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, TBRS 2025 will combine global perspective with sharp insights into the Indian market.
What sets TBRS apart is its exclusivity, participation will be limited to just 150 hand-selected decision-makers, ensuring focused and impactful exchanges. This approach is intended to drive real partnerships and accelerate the growth of the branded residences sector, positioning the summit as more than just another industry event.
Commenting on the initiative, Nandivardhan Jain, Founder & CEO of NOESIS Capital Advisors, said: “India is ready for its branded living revolution, and TBRS 2025 will be the catalyst. By bringing together global hospitality and lifestyle brands with Indian developers, investors, and advisors, this summit will unlock partnerships and opportunities that will redefine luxury real estate in the country.”
As India enters a new phase of luxury real estate growth, TBRS 2025 is set to become the definitive marketplace and thought leadership platform for branded residences in the country.

Air India, India’s leading global airline, and Air Astana, the flag carrier of Kazakhstan, have announced a new codeshare agreement to expand flight options and connectivity for travellers between India and Kazakhstan.
Under this partnership, Air India will place its ‘AI’ designator code on Air Astana’s flights between Almaty and Delhi, and Almaty and Mumbai. This enables Air India passengers to conveniently book single tickets and enjoy through check-in for their journey to Almaty, a fast-growing hub for both tourism and business in Central Asia.
Speaking on the announcement, Campbell Wilson, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of Air India, said: “Our new codeshare partnership with Air Astana creates stronger air links to Kazakhstan, a fast-growing market with immense potential for tourism. Beyond serving leisure travel demand, our partnership will also support trade and cultural exchanges between our two countries, while bringing a new destination in Central Asia closer to our customers.”
Peter Foster, CEO of Air Astana Group, shared: “We are delighted to have concluded a comprehensive codeshare agreement with Asia’s oldest airline. Air India is an exceptionally well-managed business, which operates a comprehensive network of flights to, from and across India, the world’s most populous country and one of the fastest growing travel markets. India is of key strategic importance to the Air Astana Group as we increase flights from Kazakhstan to Delhi, Mumbai and Goa. The codeshare will accelerate the increasingly strong business, tourist and student traffic flows between our two countries.”
The agreement builds upon an interline partnership signed earlier in 2025, under which Air India passengers already had access to destinations across Central Asia and China via Almaty, including Astana, Bishkek, Tashkent, Dushanbe, and Urumqi. Meanwhile, Air Astana customers gained access to 18 domestic and 9 international destinations through Air India’s network.
With this codeshare step-up, passengers will benefit from greater convenience, a wider destination network, and simplified travel through a single booking and check-in process. Subject to regulatory approvals, the codeshare flights will gradually be made available for booking across Air India’s website, mobile app, and travel agents worldwide.

Mumbai’s dining scene offers no shortage of options, but when it comes to a perfect date night, not every place makes the cut. Whether you’re planning an indulgent evening under the stars, a cozy night at home, or a casual pizza-and-wine kind of outing, here are four standout spots to add to your list.
Step into Mirage, Bandra’s newest rooftop stunner, where dining is elevated into a cinematic experience. Curated by internationally celebrated chefs Bobby Recto and Maher Ramzi, the menu brings together bold Euro-Asian and Levantine flavours—think smoked lamb hummus, gold-dusted maki rolls, braised lamb shank, and pistachio kunafa crema.
Designed by Sumessh Menon, Mirage shimmers with reflective surfaces, dramatic lighting, and sweeping skyline views. Add artful cocktails like the Wasabi Punch or Medusa’s Eye, and live music that sets the tone, and you’ve got yourself the perfect setting for a romantic night out.
For couples who prefer staying in but still want a touch of indulgence, The Pantry delivers just that. Its all-new menu is designed around wholesome bowls, globally inspired salads, and wraps that balance nutrition with flavour.
Highlights include the Zen Soba Protein Bowl with miso-lime soba and tofu, the Moroccan Glow Bowl with harissa-grilled chicken, and the Mediterranean Muscle Bowl featuring muhammara, cauli-quinoa, and olive tapenade chicken. Seafood lovers can try Fish & Greens with kasundi mustard rawas.
Available on Swiggy and Zomato, The Pantry makes it easy to turn your dining table into the coziest date spot.
Authentic wood-fired sourdough pizzas make Si Nonna’s a natural pick for couples who love sharing slices. Whether you’re dining in at their intimate pizzeria or ordering in for a relaxed evening, Si Nonna’s brings Italy to Mumbai with bold, fresh flavours.
Must-tries include Pizza No. 3, topped with Fior di Latte, Kalamata olives, and capers, and Pizza No. 6, loaded with spiced chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, basil pesto, and homemade chilli oil. End the night with Nonna’s Famous Tiramisu and raise a toast with Nonna’s Cooler.
With its warm interiors and jazz-infused ambience, BlueBop Café is ideal for couples seeking comfort and connection. The menu is designed for sharing—start with Mozzarella Cheese Sticks, Butter Garlic Prawns, or Truffle Chicken Popcorn before moving on to hearty mains like Mexican Chicken Sizzlers, Prawns in Red Thai Curry, or a Tenderloin Steak.
Round off the evening with a decadent Hazelnut Hot Chocolate or a freshly baked dessert. Here, every date night feels as intimate and laid-back as it is indulgent.
Whether you’re chasing rooftop sunsets, pizza nights, wholesome bowls at home, or jazz-filled evenings, these four spots prove that Mumbai knows how to make every date night unforgettable.
