The Marriott India Business Council recently marked the 11th anniversary of its flagship initiative, Road to Give, with an energetic Hyderabad edition that brought together associates, partners, and local communities in a celebration of wellness and giving.
What started years ago as a fitness event has grown into a regional movement that champions empathy, inclusion, and community action across Marriott properties in South Asia. The Hyderabad leg began at Marriott Executive Apartments, where participants gathered for a group warm-up before setting off on a 5K run. The morning continued with a high-energy interval training session and concluded with breakfast at Altair banquet space.
This year’s edition saw more than 10,000 Marriott associates across the region come together to run, walk, cycle, and move for a cause, reflecting the company’s enduring commitment to care and service. The collective effort raised over INR 1 crore, which will go towards Rising Star Outreach of India, a Chennai-based NGO that empowers individuals and families affected by leprosy through education, healthcare, and livelihood opportunities.
Reaffirming Marriott’s guiding principle of Putting People First, associates from participating hotels also organised a series of wellness and charity events that encouraged both physical fitness and social responsibility.
“Each year, Road to Give reminds us of the extraordinary power of collective purpose,” said Sanjay Gupta, Chairman, Marriott India Business Council. “As we commemorate the 11th year of this remarkable initiative, we celebrate not just the funds raised or the miles covered, but the spirit of unity and compassion our associates bring to their communities. Their efforts continue to strengthen Marriott’s legacy of care and commitment across the region.”
Over time, Road to Give has become an integral part of Marriott’s culture of giving, motivating associates to drive change through empathy and wellness. Each edition reinforces the belief that true success lies in uplifting others and contributing to lasting social progress.
The Hyderabad event was supported by leading Marriott properties, including Marriott Executive Apartments Hyderabad, Marriott Hyderabad, Courtyard by Marriott Hyderabad, Le Meridien Hyderabad, The Westin Hyderabad Hitec City, The Westin Hyderabad Mindspace, Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel, and Fairfield by Marriott Hyderabad Gachibowli. Their joint participation reflected both community spirit and the city’s dynamic hospitality culture.
As the Marriott India Business Council looks toward another impactful year, it extends sincere gratitude to every participant, partner, and supporter who helped make the 2025 edition a success. Each step taken and every contribution made helps move closer to a more compassionate and inclusive future, one where the spirit of giving continues to inspire meaningful change.

Malabar Gold & Diamonds, one of the world’s leading and most trusted jewellery brands, hosted a special edition of its flagship Brides of India campaign at its South Extension Part 2 showroom in New Delhi. The showcase celebrated the wide range of bridal styles and traditions that shape weddings in Delhi and across India.
Now in its 15th year, Brides of India has grown into one of the country’s most recognised bridal jewellery platforms. The campaign honours how every bride carries her rituals, memories and identity into the jewellery she chooses for her wedding.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Thanseer K K, Showroom Head, Malabar Gold & Diamonds, South Extension Part 2, New Delhi, said, “South Extension Part 2 has always been a starting point for many Delhi families when they plan wedding jewellery. We meet brides who want classic heirloom pieces for traditional ceremonies, lighter designs for destination functions and contemporary sets for receptions, often in a single visit. With the 15th edition of Brides of India coming to our showroom, we created a focused experience around this reality. Our aim is to help every bride and her family find jewellery that respects their customs, sits comfortably through long celebrations and matches the way they have always imagined themselves on their wedding day.”

The campaign came alive through a thoughtfully curated in-store experience. Select models and customers walked the ramp wearing Malabar’s bridal creations, showcasing complete looks for different wedding functions. An in-store photoshoot with brides-to-be and recently married couples from New Delhi captured how real families plan and build their bridal trousseau with the brand. The atmosphere blended the energy of a fashion showcase with the warmth of an authentic wedding shopping experience.
During the showcase, the South Extension Part 2 showroom presented an extensive range of bridal jewellery, including classic North Indian designs, regional inspirations from across the country and modern silhouettes suited for cross-cultural weddings. Guests explored necklaces, chokers, long necklaces, bangles, bridal earrings, mangalsutras and rings, all crafted with a strong focus on purity, finish and wearability, keeping in mind the multiple events of a contemporary wedding.
