IndiGoReach, the CSR arm of IndiGo, and InterGlobe Foundation, the philanthropic arm of InterGlobe Enterprises, jointly hosted an engaging ‘My City My Heritage’ walk in Puducherry. The theme, “Through the French and Tamil Quarters, A Tale of Two Towns,” gave participants a chance to explore the city’s unique blend of French elegance and Tamil vibrancy.

The walk began at the well-known Notre-Dame-des-Anges Church and took participants through historic churches, temples, and lively marketplaces. The experience offered a close look at Puducherry’s cultural depth, architectural mix, and everyday life that reflects the spirit of both communities.

The session was led by Ashok Panda, Heritage Coordinator and Project Manager at INTACH Pondicherry, who has over 15 years of experience in heritage conservation and urban restoration. He was joined by Puviarasan, Founder of Outdoor Being, a conservationist and experiential educator, and recipient of the Jane Goodall Templeton Prize for India, 2024. Together, they shared stories that brought Puducherry’s past and present to life.

‘My City My Heritage’ is an ongoing initiative by InterGlobe Foundation in collaboration with Sahapedia, focused on spreading awareness about India’s cultural and historical richness. Through meaningful partnerships, the campaign encourages people to reconnect with the traditions, architecture, and stories that define their regions. Under this initiative, IndiGoReach and InterGlobe Foundation have already conducted heritage walks in nine cities, Prayagraj, Bhubaneswar, Shillong, Nashik, Hyderabad, Kozhikode, Lucknow, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Ahmedabad, each offering an immersive cultural experience.

Sharing her thoughts on the Puducherry walk, Rohini Bhatia, Chairperson, InterGlobe Foundation, said, "Our 'My City My Heritage' walk in Puducherry offered a unique opportunity for participants to immerse themselves in the city's distinct blend of French and Tamil cultures. By exploring its historic quarters, we aimed to foster a deeper appreciation for Puducherry's rich, layered heritage and promote responsible tourism that celebrates its architectural diversity and vibrant local life."

Both organisations have been actively supporting heritage conservation across India. InterGlobe Foundation has contributed to major projects, including the conservation and cultural revival of Abdur Rahim Khan-I-Khanan’s mausoleum in Delhi, cultural mapping of ten cities, restoration of the ‘Indra Kund’ stepwell in Delwara, the tile restoration of Qutb Shah’s Mausoleum, and Heritage Fellowships. IndiGoReach has also supported initiatives such as the conservation of Qutb Shah’s Mausoleum at the Qutb Shahi Heritage Park in Hyderabad and the restoration of interiors at the Lal Bagh Palace in Indore.

Suba Hotels Limited has announced a strong set of numbers for H1 FY26, reflecting the company’s steady growth across its expanding hotel network. The brand, known for its fast-growing presence in India’s mid-market hospitality segment, reported a solid rise in revenue and profits for the half year ending 30 September 2025.

The company posted a 52% YoY jump in Revenue from Operations, reaching ₹43.79 crore. This growth came on the back of strong demand recovery, improved occupancy, and better overall performance across major markets. EBITDA stood at ₹8.65 crore, marking a 45% rise YoY, supported by consistent cost controls and operational efficiency.

Net Profit improved to ₹5.24 crore, showing a 58% increase YoY, while the Net Profit Margin moved up to 11.97%, highlighting stronger operational leverage. Diluted EPS grew sharply to ₹3.00, recording an impressive 249% YoY rise, driven by both expansion and performance upgrades across the portfolio.

During this period, Suba Hotels strengthened its footprint in both South and North India. In Hyderabad, the company signed a Term Sheet to lease and operate a 132-room property in Madhapur under the “Click Hotels by Suba” brand. Located near HITEC City, Mindspace, the hotel will cater mainly to corporate travellers and becomes the brand’s fourth property in the city.

In North India, the company expanded further with the launch of Quality Inn Rama in Ayodhya. This 44-room midscale hotel is positioned in one of the country’s fastest-growing pilgrimage hubs and offers SATVIK Jain cuisine, an in-house temple, banquet facilities, and accessibility features for differently-abled guests.

Sharing his views on the performance, Mr. Mansur Mehta, Managing Director, said:

"H1 FY26 marks one of our strongest half-yearly performances, with significant growth across revenue, EBITDA, and profitability. Our asset-light, capital-efficient expansion continues to drive margins and scalability. With new signings across Hyderabad and Ayodhya, we are growing sustainably across both corporate and religious tourism hubs."

Suba Hotels Ltd continues to be one of India’s fastest-growing hospitality companies. The group now manages more than 125 properties, both operational and in the pipeline and is present across 72+ destinations with over 5,800 keys in India and the Middle East.
