Speaking about the weekend, Akash Sheth, Co-Founder, The Magnanimous Group said, “We’re thrilled to announce the return of Ajio Luxe Weekend. It’s going to be an immersive experience that transcends the ordinary—a convergence of fashion, art, design, and luxury. Ajio Luxe Weekend is not just an event, it’s a statement, and we’re looking forward to another successful run.“
Co-Founder, The Magnanimous Group, Kunal Avanti added, “We’re excited to be back for Edition 4 of Ajio Luxe Wkend. It’s another chance to create something spectacular while raising awareness about our environmental responsibility. Like our previous edition, we’ve nearly eradicated single-use plastics and flex, continue to use raw power instead of diesel generators, and have embraced sustainable materials like repurposed wood and MDF to significantly reduce ply usage. I see this as a platform to showcase the possibilities of conscious design. Outside of the building materials, Ajio Luxe Wkend welcomes plant-based and planet-forward restaurants and hopes to set yet another example for the events industry focussing on food waste. Following our successful collaboration last year, all excess food from the event will be collected at the end of each day by the team from The Robin Hood Army and given to people in need.”
