Actress and entrepreneur Nidhhi Agerwal has officially launched Hair Dare You Rituals at the Chennai Trade Centre, introducing a Korean-developed water filtration solution aimed at improving everyday hair and skin wellness by addressing one of the most common yet often overlooked concerns, hard water.

Built on advanced Korean beauty water filtration technology, the solution is designed to improve the quality of shower water by helping reduce impurities commonly associated with hard water. The brand believes that making healthier water a part of daily routines can contribute to stronger hair, a healthier scalp and improved skin through a preventive, science-backed approach to personal care.

With this launch, Hair Dare You Rituals aims to make innovative hair wellness solutions more accessible to Indian consumers. Beyond introducing a new product, the brand seeks to raise awareness about the role water quality plays in hair health, encouraging consumers to shift from corrective hair care to long-term prevention through simple everyday habits.

Speaking at the launch, Nidhhi Agerwal, Actress & Co-Founder, Hair Dare You Rituals, said:

"Hair and skincare routines have evolved significantly over the years, but one aspect that often goes unnoticed is the quality of water we use every day. Hard water can impact the health of both our hair and skin, yet very few people consider it as part of their beauty routine. Through Hair Dare You Rituals, we wanted to introduce a solution that addresses this concern in a simple and effective way while bringing Korean beauty innovation closer to Indian consumers."

Prachi Mishra, Co-Founder, Hair Dare You Rituals, added:

"This journey has been driven by a desire to offer solutions that fit naturally into everyday life. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to ensure that the technology is practical, accessible, and delivers a meaningful difference. We hope this encourages people to look beyond products and adopt a more holistic approach to caring for their hair and skin."

Sharing her thoughts, Gayathri Devi, Co-Founder, Hair Dare You Rituals, said:

"For us, innovation isn't about adding complexity; it's about making better everyday choices accessible to everyone. With Hair Dare You, we've created a practical solution that seamlessly fits into daily routines, making hair wellness simple and effective. We hope consumers experience not only healthier hair, but also the confidence that comes from adopting healthier everyday habits."

Speaking about the brand's vision, Daisy Morgan, Brand Architect & Investor, Hair Dare You Rituals, said:

"Consumers today are increasingly looking for solutions that combine innovation with everyday wellness. The Korean Beauty Water Filtration Solution represents our commitment to introducing globally trusted technologies that solve real consumer concerns while making self-care simpler and more effective."

Founded by Nidhhi Agerwal, Hair Dare You Rituals focuses on bringing globally inspired beauty innovations to India through products designed to address everyday hair and skincare challenges. With an emphasis on quality, authenticity and long-term wellness, the brand aims to transform daily routines into meaningful self-care rituals.

Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd. (ROHL) has unveiled its new collection brand, Iconiqa Collection, with the launch of Laxminarayan Palace Resort – Iconiqa Collection in Vadodara. Through its subsidiary, Royal Orchid Goa Private Limited, the company has signed a revenue-sharing agreement, marking the next phase in the evolution of Iconiqa from a standalone hotel brand into a curated collection of distinctive upscale hotels.

The new collection brings together hotels that stand out for their unique identity, architectural character and strong connection to their destinations. As part of ROHL's asset-light growth strategy, the Iconiqa Collection aims to expand with properties that offer authentic experiences rather than following a standardised design approach.

The first addition to the collection, Laxminarayan Palace Resort, reflects this vision with its palace-inspired architecture and deep connection to Vadodara's cultural heritage. Located near the iconic Laxmi Vilas Palace, the resort combines royal-inspired design with modern hospitality, creating an urban resort experience for leisure travellers, business guests and celebration seekers.

The resort features 106 rooms and suites, spread across the Palace Wing and Heritage Wing. Each room showcases handcrafted Thikri artwork, carved woodwork, authentic antiques and thoughtfully designed interiors inspired by royal residences, while offering modern comforts such as high-speed Wi-Fi, smart entertainment systems, premium bath amenities and luxurious bedding.

Designed as a destination for celebrations, the property offers one of Vadodara's largest collections of event spaces. It features six indoor venues, landscaped lawns, grand courtyards and a ballroom adorned with antique jharokhas, hand-painted ceilings and oversized crystal chandeliers. The resort is equipped to host destination weddings, receptions, social gatherings and corporate events, supported by customised event planning and curated culinary experiences.

Guests can also enjoy a range of wellness and leisure facilities, including a freshwater swimming pool, spa, salon, yoga studio and fitness centre, offering a relaxing retreat within the city.

The resort's dining experiences celebrate both Indian heritage and international flavours. Mayur Pankh, named after the peacock feather, serves royal Indian cuisine inspired by palace kitchens along with regional specialities from Gujarat. Cafe Nirvaan, an alfresco all-day café surrounded by landscaped gardens, offers artisanal coffees, premium teas, desserts and international favourites in a relaxed setting. The resort also features a signature vegetarian Italian restaurant, serving handcrafted pastas, wood-fired pizzas and classic Italian comfort food.

Commenting on the launch, Chander K. Baljee, Chairman & Managing Director, Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd., said:

"The Iconiqa Collection represents our vision of bringing together exceptional hotels that stand apart because of their individuality and the experiences they create. Laxminarayan Palace Resort is a remarkable addition to this portfolio. Its palace-inspired architecture, expansive celebration spaces, refined hospitality, and deep connection to Vadodara's cultural identity make it far more than a hotel-it is a destination in itself. As we continue to expand across India, our focus remains on creating hospitality experiences that are authentic, differentiated, and memorable for every guest."

Arjun Baljee, President, Royal Orchid Hotels Ltd., added:

"Every hotel within the Iconiqa Collection is chosen because it offers something truly distinctive. The Collection is not defined by a shared design philosophy but by a shared commitment to exceptional experiences rooted in the identity of each destination. Laxminarayan Palace Resort perfectly reflects this vision. Its unique architecture, expansive event infrastructure, immersive culinary offerings, and strong connection to Vadodara's heritage make it an ideal addition to the Collection. We believe it will redefine hospitality in the city while offering guests a destination that is equally compelling for celebrations, leisure, business, and everyday experiences."

With the launch of the Iconiqa Collection, ROHL is expanding its portfolio of destination-led hotels, beginning with a property that blends heritage-inspired architecture, contemporary luxury and personalised hospitality in the heart of Vadodara.
