India has welcomed its first ultra-luxe immersive gaming arcade experience with the grand launch of The Game Palacio at Phoenix Palladium, Mumbai. Spanning over 26,280 sq. ft., the venue marks the 10th outlet of the experiential brand under Prasuk Jain Hospitality Ventures (PJH) and showcases a vision of grandeur, innovation, and elevated leisure.

This outlet redefines the idea of gaming arcades in India, offering six boutique bowling lanes, 80+ advanced arcade games, immersive VR zones, and India’s first-ever in-mall cigar room. With elegant interiors that blend Art Deco charm and old-world casino luxury, it features black marble textures, gold-trimmed archways, emerald lighting, and plush seating surrounding a custom-built 360° island bar.

From reimagined classics like Halo: Fireteam Raven and Tomb Raider to nostalgic favourites like Monopoly Roll-N-Go, the arcade offers entertainment for all ages and moods. Every aspect is designed for sensory indulgence, from mood lighting and architectural detail to curated sound and hospitality.

Culinary excellence matches the setting, with gourmet offerings such as Crabstick & Caviar and Cajun Blaze, and signature cocktails like the smoky Maracuya La Picante.

“The 10th Palacio is more than a location; it's a reflection of our evolution,” said Priyanka Jain, Marketing Director of PJH Ventures. Founder Prasuk Jain added, “Phoenix Palladium is the perfect canvas for our most refined expression yet. As we aim for 50, we are building destinations that echo with imagination and celebration.”

What began five years ago with a bold vision has now become a cultural benchmark. The Game Palacio stands today not merely as a gaming venue but as a luxury lifestyle destination, uniting immersive entertainment, gourmet dining, and nightlife under one iconic roof.

Pratt & Whitney, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, proudly marks a century of excellence in aviation, commemorating 100 years since its founding in 1925. The milestone celebrates the company’s enduring legacy of innovation, beginning with the revolutionary R-1340 Wasp radial engine that transformed both military and commercial aviation.

The company’s journey took flight under the vision of Frederick B. Rentschler, who introduced a lightweight, air-cooled radial engine that gained early acclaim with the U.S. Navy. By 1926, the Navy ordered 200 engines, laying the groundwork for Pratt & Whitney’s rapid rise. Its Wasp engines powered hundreds of aircraft through the 20th century, playing a key role in Allied success during World War II, where over 363,000 engines were produced during the war effort.

Adapting with the times, Pratt & Whitney pioneered jet propulsion with the J57 engine, used in iconic aircraft like the Boeing B-52 and commercial jets such as the Boeing 707 and DC-8, ushering in a new era of flight and innovation.

Today, Pratt & Whitney powers over 90,000 engines in service globally. Its GTFTM engine is renowned for its fuel efficiency, used by more than 85 airlines operating the Airbus A220, A320neo, and Embraer E2 jets. The F135 engine powers the advanced Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jet, while its Canadian arm leads the development of engines for business and general aviation, including the PT6 and PW127XT.

Pratt & Whitney’s legacy continues with forward-looking investments in next-generation technologies including hybrid-electric, hydrogen-based, rotating detonation, and adaptive propulsion systems.

“Since our founding, we’ve upheld the mission of building the most dependable engines in aerospace,” said Shane Eddy, President of Pratt & Whitney. “Our 45,000-strong global team lives by our commitment to innovation, safety, and excellence.”

In India, Pratt & Whitney has played a pivotal role for over seven decades, contributing to commercial and defense aviation. Engines like the JT3D and JT9D ushered in India's jet age, while today, the IAE V2500, GTF, and PW127 power numerous aircraft flying across the country. The Indian Air Force relies on Pratt & Whitney propulsion systems for platforms like the C-17 Globemaster III and C-295.

“Our India story is an integral part of our 100-year journey,” said Ashish Saraf, Vice President & Country Head, Pratt & Whitney India. “India continues to play a strategic role in our engineering, digital, and supply chain growth.”

To mark the centennial, Pratt & Whitney is engaging employees through a travelling exhibit that will visit 11 locations globally, including its India Customer Training Center in Hyderabad. The celebration also includes a digital version of the exhibit and a historical marker at the original headquarters in Hartford, Connecticut.

As Pratt & Whitney celebrates a century in flight, its commitment to powering progress and innovation across the skies remains stronger than ever.
