InterGlobe Foundation, the philanthropic arm of InterGlobe Enterprises, has introduced its first ‘Heritage Dialogue’ while also unveiling the third edition of its annual exhibition, ‘Tangible Conversations, Intangible Heritage’ (TCIH). The initiative marks an important step in encouraging conversations and collaborative efforts around cultural and heritage preservation in India.

The 10-day exhibition is being held at the Sunken Gardens in Sunder Nursery, with AKTC serving as the venue partner. Open from March 13 to March 22, 2026, between 11 am and 7 pm, the exhibition invites visitors to explore India’s living traditions through an engaging and immersive format.

This year’s theme, “Living Archives: Ritual, Performance and the City,” looks at heritage beyond traditional documentation. Instead, it presents heritage as something that continues to live through the rituals, practices, and everyday experiences of communities. By bringing together elements of tangible and intangible heritage, the exhibition highlights the Foundation’s ongoing work with communities to preserve India’s cultural legacy.

Visitors can experience the theme through a mix of photography, films, and installations that showcase three unique narratives. The first documents the Doli Yatra of Lord Rudranath in Uttarakhand, offering a closer look at the sacred pilgrimage and the devotion of the communities involved. The second focuses on Bhand Pather, the traditional folk theatre of Kashmir, presenting the history and cultural richness of this centuries-old performance tradition. The third narrative explores the idea of the city as a living archive through the ‘My City My Heritage’ initiative, showing how neighbourhood life and local communities shape the cultural identity of cities.

The exhibition also serves as the annual showcase of the InterGlobe Heritage Fellowships. This initiative supports individuals who research and document lesser-known aspects of India’s heritage. Since the fellowship began, nine fellows have been recognised for their contributions toward cultural preservation.

The day began with the ‘Heritage Dialogue’, organised by InterGlobe Foundation along with Sahapedia and IndiGoReach. The forum brought together leaders from corporate, cultural, and academic sectors to discuss ways to strengthen support for India’s built and intangible heritage. The platform is designed as a long-term initiative that encourages collaboration and investment in heritage preservation while connecting it to the broader goals of sustainable development and responsible corporate participation.

The evening continued with the formal opening of the ‘Tangible Conversations, Intangible Heritage’ exhibition at Sunder Nursery. Ms. Rohini Bhatia, Chairperson of InterGlobe Foundation, led the inauguration ceremony in the presence of cultural practitioners, institutional leaders, and heritage enthusiasts. The event concluded with a captivating Dastangoi performance at the historic Humayun’s Tomb Auditorium.

Rohini Bhatia, Chairperson, InterGlobe Foundation, said, "The ‘Tangible Conversations, Intangible Heritage’ exhibition reflects our deep commitment to protecting India’s diverse cultural legacy. This year's theme beautifully illustrates how our heritage is a living, breathing entity sustained by communities and their practices. Through the InterGlobe Heritage Fellowships and the new Heritage Dialogue, we aim to foster a deeper appreciation for our vibrant traditions and inspire collective action required to ensure they thrive for generations to come.”

For more than a decade, InterGlobe Foundation has supported several important conservation and heritage initiatives through its partners. These include the conservation and cultural revival of Abdur Rahim Khan-I-Khanan’s mausoleum in Delhi, the cultural mapping and documentation of eighteen cities through the ‘My City My Heritage’ campaign, the restoration of the Indra Kund stepwell in Delwara, the tile restoration of Qutb Shah’s Mausoleum, and the InterGlobe Heritage Fellowships.

Migsun Mall in Ghaziabad just added a name to its retail roster that signals exactly where the mall is headed. Calvin Klein has signed a leasing agreement for a 1,114 sq ft space at the mall, bringing one of the world's most recognised fashion brands to a retail destination that has been steadily building its premium appeal.

Calvin Klein's identity, clean aesthetics, modern sensibility, and a design philosophy that has built a global following, fits naturally into what Migsun Mall has been trying to create. The brand speaks directly to urban consumers who value minimalism, quality, and globally relevant fashion, which is exactly the kind of audience the mall is positioning itself to attract.

Rajeev Srivastava, Leasing Head at Migsun Group, put the signing in context. "Retail today is as much about brand alignment as it is about physical space. Calvin Klein represents a global design philosophy that speaks to modern consumers, and we're pleased to have the brand join Migsun Mall. Our approach has been to create a retail ecosystem that feels relevant, uncluttered and experience-oriented rather than purely transactional. Each new signing is evaluated not just on brand strength, but on how well it contributes to the overall shopping journey. Calvin Klein adds a distinct, contemporary dimension to our fashion mix and strengthens the mall's positioning as a destination for refined, modern retail."

The signing also reflects a broader trend playing out across India's organised retail sector. Brands are becoming increasingly selective about the locations they choose, favouring destinations that offer strong footfall potential, a cohesive brand environment, and a shopping experience that feels curated rather than crowded. Migsun Mall's approach of evaluating brands not just on name recognition but on how well they contribute to the overall experience speaks to this shift.

For Ghaziabad, the arrival of Calvin Klein at Migsun Mall is a notable moment, adding a brand with genuine global weight to a retail market that continues to grow in both scale and ambition.

Radisson Hotel Group has announced the signing of four new Park Inn & Suites by Radisson hotels in India as part of its strategy to strengthen its midscale presence in emerging cities. The newly signed properties will be located in Roorkee, Meerut, Asansol, and Navi Mumbai (Airoli), reinforcing the group’s focus on expanding into high-potential markets where demand for reliable branded hospitality continues to grow.

The signings come at a time when domestic travel is increasingly driven by regional cities that are evolving into education hubs, industrial clusters, social-event destinations, and growing business districts. These markets often experience strong demand but remain underserved by internationally branded hotels.

Park Inn & Suites by Radisson plays a central role in the group’s India-focused expansion strategy. Designed as a midscale brand for fast-growing cities, it offers a flexible development model, efficient operations, and a balanced mix of rooms, dining, and event facilities suited to local demand.

Roorkee in Uttarakhand has emerged as an important education and industrial hub, anchored by IIT Roorkee and supported by private universities, manufacturing industries, and a historic defence cantonment. Park Inn & Suites by Radisson, Roorkee is scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2027 and will be located on NH-344, providing convenient connectivity to Haridwar, Meerut, and the wider Delhi NCR region. The hotel will feature multiple dining options, a rooftop specialty restaurant, and spacious indoor and outdoor event venues suited for business travellers, weddings, and large social gatherings.

Meerut, a key industrial and commercial centre in western Uttar Pradesh and part of the National Capital Region, has witnessed strong growth in sectors such as manufacturing, handicrafts, and defence. Park Inn & Suites by Radisson, Meerut, expected to open in the first quarter of 2029, will be located on National Highway-58. The property will offer modern guest rooms, multiple dining outlets, meeting facilities, and a dedicated outdoor lawn designed for corporate events, weddings, and leisure travellers.

In West Bengal, Asansol is a major industrial city supported by coal mining, steel industries, and the operations of Eastern Coalfields Limited. The region also sees strong wedding and social-event demand due to nearby religious centres such as the Kalyaneshawari and Ghagar Buri Chandi temples. Park Inn & Suites by Radisson, Asansol, scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2029, will be located on the Delhi–Kolkata Highway. The 75-key hotel will feature contemporary rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a rooftop specialty bar, meeting and event facilities, a gym, and a swimming pool.

Navi Mumbai’s Airoli district has rapidly developed as a major commercial extension of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, attracting corporate offices, multinational companies, and Grade A office developments. Park Inn & Suites by Radisson, Navi Mumbai (Airoli), expected to open in the third quarter of 2028, will be located near Airoli Road and close to Digha railway station. The hotel will include an all-day dining restaurant, a bar, and meeting facilities designed primarily for corporate, MICE, leisure, and short-stay travellers.

Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group, said, “India’s travel growth is increasingly being driven by emerging cities that bring together education ecosystems, industrial development, social infrastructure and expanding corporate activity. Many of these markets, however, remain underserved by quality branded hospitality despite strong and sustainable demand fundamentals. Our latest Park Inn & Suites by Radisson signings reflect a deliberate and long-term strategy to address this gap by introducing a trusted, internationally recognised midscale brand to cities where demand spans business, leisure and large social events.”

Davashish Srivastava, Senior Director, Development, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group, added that each of the four markets presents distinct demand drivers but shares the common factor of limited branded hotel supply.

Owners of the newly signed properties also highlighted the potential of their respective cities and the value of bringing an internationally recognised hospitality brand to these locations to serve growing business, leisure, and social-event demand.

Through these signings, Radisson Hotel Group continues to expand its presence across India’s emerging travel corridors while strengthening its portfolio with brand offerings tailored to evolving market needs.
