I was in the crowd at South Side Story in 2019. In 2026, I stepped onto that stage with my own band, AARAA, at KD Jadhav Indoor Stadium, Delhi. A full-circle moment.
Fragrance & Beauty
Versace Pour Homme is a bright, aquatic fragrance with a subtle citrus heart and a smooth, musky dry down. It doesn't announce itself when you walk into a room, but it lingers after you've left. Subtle, refined and timeless.

I spent the evening at the launch of the Second Floor at The Dhan Mill, home to some of the finest designer labels, luxury brands and curated experiences. Beautiful interiors, inspiring conversations and talented creators.

AkioLife completed 8 years, and to celebrate we ran our first-ever giveaway: the Mi Band 9, which wasn't available in India at the time. I personally imported two units from China.

Davidoff Cool Water is a fragrance almost everyone likes. Launched in 1988, it is still one of the most popular scents in the men's fresh category.

The Titan Automatic Series Skeleton watch pairs timeless elegance with sophistication. Its open dial puts the automatic movement on show. A true statement piece from Titan, available on Flipkart.

The Titan Classique NT90102WL01 is where vintage charm meets modern craftsmanship: a retro dial, a stainless steel case and a genuine leather strap. Strong build, premium feel, and a properly classy look.
Tech & Gadgets
In 2018 I met Rajiv Makhni, one of India's pioneering tech journalists, whose show Gadget Guru helped a whole generation fall in love with technology. It happened while I was covering the XIN Philanthropy Conference by Alibaba Group and UCWeb.

In 2018, AkioLife made its first short film, "This Moment, Live It Up", with one message: live this moment to the fullest. We wrote, shot and edited it in two to three days.

On 22 June 2017, AkioLife officially began as a website and YouTube vlog. "Akio" comes from a Japanese word meaning bright, so AkioLife stands for a brighter life.
