Luxury Lands First At The Chanakya

On 22nd August, The Chanakya, India's most refined address for luxury, marked a milestone moment with a grand celebration, now trading at almost 100% occupancy. To mark the occasion, the iconic destination was transformed into a living canvas of artistry and design, with its ground floor turned into a meticulously designed mini-exhibit with 40+ iconic brands showcasing their newest collections. The celebration brought together the crème de la crème of Delhi-NCR, including media personalities, tastemakers, and top-tier clientele, to witness the unveiling of a refreshed selection of international luxury brands now housed in the heart of the city.

The day unfolded with a series of invite-only, intimate brand-led masterclasses designed to engage and inspire. Montblanc introduced guests to the timeless art of calligraphy as a skilled artist guided them in mastering the elegance of writing with fountain pens on handcrafted postcards and message cards. JANAVI Home offered an evocative exploration of the journey of colours through the seven days of the week, rainbows, and chakras, revealing the deeper connection between aura and emotion, led by founder Ms Jyotika Jhalani herself. 'Heirlooms of Tomorrow' hosted a walkthrough with the country’s leading interior designers and architects, offering a glimpse into the future of contemporary home décor. This was followed by Shivan & Narresh Homes’ exclusive tablescaping workshop, where the designers personally showcased the intricacies of table dressing as an expression of lifestyle and design. Together, these curated experiences elevated the celebration into a day-long narrative of discovery, inspiration, and artistry.

The highlight of the event was the glamorous evening soirée with live music by DJ Nida, elevating the mood. The evening saw the gracious presence of DLF leadership—Mr. Sriram Khattar, Ms. Pushpa Bector, and Mr. Akaash Ohri. Other key attendees included some of the city’s most influential KOLs and tastemakers, including Mrs. Shalini Passi, Navneet Randhawa, Deepti J Verma, Meghali Gupta, Aabha Bakaya, Anand Bhushan, Kanu Sharma, and Mallika Sharma.

The evening was elevated with gastronomy by DLF Hospitality, handcrafted cocktails by Bacardi, refreshing mocktails by Sepoy & Co., sustainable hydration by Responsible Waters, crystal glassware by Baccarat, and exquisite floral artistry by The Flower Child by Simar Grover. The experience was designed not merely as a gathering, but as a living showcase of what a day at The Chanakya feels like—where the senses are constantly engaged, luxury becomes an everyday language, and every corner tells a story. The gala wrapped on a note of vibrancy and sophistication, reaffirming The Chanakya not only as a hub of global brands but as the city’s cultural stage for style, creativity, and luxury living.
