Inside the first-ever Harper's Bazaar India's digital editor's lunch

We associate December with celebrations and with that comes, fashion and culinary indulgences—two of the things we absolutely love. This Sunday, Harper’s Bazaar India hosted the first edition of the 'Bazaar India's Digital Editor’s Lunch' at Toast Pasta Bar, situated inside the heart of Mumbai’s culinary haven.

The soirée saw an assemblage of the best across businesses coming together to celebrate the launch of the website of Harper’s Bazaar India, over a meal of fine European cuisine. It was an afternoon brimming with camaraderie, gustatory delight and conversations on fashion, culture, food, art, sustainability and more.

Along with Sonal Ved, the digital editor of Harper’s Bazaar India, the lunch was attended by: fashion A-lister Orhan Awatramani aka Orry; Krésha Bajaj, fashion designer; Rhea Kuruvilla, marketing manager at Saffronart; Namrat Klair, who leads client marketing and communications for Christian Dior Couture; Praachi Raniwala, a fashion journalist; Rohima Sequeira, communications manager at Hermès; Vinita Makhija, a freelance fashion stylist and writer; Prateek Bakhtiani, a chocolatier, magazine editor and a pastry chef; Raksha Lulla, a nutrition coach; Aditi Dugar, who is the first female restaurateur to be featured in Asia’s 50 Best; Aakash Ranison, climate activist, author and TEDx speaker; Catherine Dayal, content creator; Mansi Jasani, founder of The Cheese Collective; and Ayesha Parikh, the founder of Art and Charlie.

Apart from culinary bliss, a lot of food for thought was brought to the table by the guests who are spearheading their individual careers. It was an afternoon to remember, which will be hopefully the first of many such lunches.
