    Male [Maldives], May 31: Sportswear brand PUMA India has opened its first store in the Republic of Maldives, entering the popular holiday destination that has witnessed a triple-digit surge in inbound tourism over the last two years. With this, Maldives becomes the latest market to join PUMA India’s syndicate, including 19 other countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.

     

    Located in the capital city Male’s iconic shopping street of Majeedhee Magu, the two-storeyed PUMA store is set to be a one-stop destination for tourists and fashion enthusiasts besides the growing local football and futsal community. The store launch also comes at a time when the Maldives is celebrating its golden year of tourism.

     

    Commenting on the launch of the first store in the Maldives, Atul Bajaj, Executive Director – Sales & Operations, PUMA India, said, “The Maldives is coming up strongly as a travel destination, especially post-Covid. The number of resorts has swelled up over the years, and the tourist-friendly economy has prompted good demand and consumption of global brands. We are excited to expand our presence in this country.”

    PUMA has partnered with Maldives-based sports & lifestyle marketplace Sonee Sports to launch the brand in the island nation. Under this partnership, the brand will expand its offline retail presence and also explore eCommerce, sports clubs and other distribution channels in this new market.

     

    Tourism is the mainstay in the country, which managed to keep its Covid caseload low and luxury resorts open to attract tourists from across the globe. According to the Ministry of Tourism, the tropical island nation, the Maldives witnessed a 138% increase in inbound travellers in 2021, the highest year-on-year growth rate recorded by the Maldives in the last decade. The Ministry yet again estimates a 15-17% jump in arrivals so far in 2022 over last year. In fact, India, Russia, the UK, Italy and USA were the top source markets for the Maldives during this two-year period.

    Atul Bajaj added, “The Maldives is also maturing rapidly as a football and futsal playing nation, indicating a real passion for sports. In Sonee Sports, we have found an experienced partner with a strong background in driving sports and lifestyle business in Male. We are looking forward to closely working with sports associations and clubs to provide access to the right sporting gear in the country and propel our commitment to the growth of sports and fitness culture with our range of apparel, footwear and accessories.”

     

    Commenting on the partnership, Ahmed Kaleem, Managing Director, Sonee Sports, said, “At Sonee Sports, we aim to continuously present our customers with BIGGER, BETTER BRANDS. We are pleased to introduce PUMA, one of the leading and fastest-growing sports brands in the world. As our focus remains on improving the lives of sportsmen and fitness enthusiasts on and off the field, we are confident that PUMA fits like a glove.”

     

    Spread over 1800 square feet, the first store in the Maldives will offer consumers a unique shopping experience and elevated product showcase. It will sell footwear, apparel and accessories for men, women and kids for their sports and lifestyle requirements.

     

    The store is strategically located on Majeedhee Magu, the most popular shopping street in Male, known for handloom textiles, traditional apparel, local craft, cosmetics and accessories for travellers. 

     

    In the fiscal year ending December 2021, PUMA cemented its leadership position in India’s sports and lifestyle market, earning a revenue of Rs 2044 crore. The brand added 51 stores in 2021 and has a total of 450 exclusive stores in India so far in the current fiscal.

    “The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you will not stay where you are.” – J.P. Morgan

    New Delhi, May 31: Migration, for centuries now, has been associated with experiences, adventures, and explorations. Amidst the joy and content of making it to the other side of the seven seas, hidden fears of uncertainties and disconnect hit us. Students, employees, entrepreneurs etc., who travel around the globe depend on informal sources or social media connections to find their way to a new country.

    After her own relocating and travelling experiences for studies, work and pleasure for decades, Ms. Sandhya Jane recognized these diasporic setbacks and launched an online platform in 2018 to bring the Indian community together in Hong Kong. This platform was supported by Mr. Puneet Agrawal, then Hon. Consul General of Hong Kong via the website, WhatsApp and telegram groups, social media and city guide.

    After testing initial success in publishing Hong Kong Guide for two years, International Desi now extends its services to other cities such as New York, Tokyo, and London. These are not purely a directory but a guide that provides information presented after extensive research by various sources, including firsthand experiences from the members.

    Here is the link to previous copies of the Hong Kong Guide – https://issuu.com/hongkong.desi

    The International Desi platform has now found its global gateway with the launch of its official website International Desi (https://international-desi.com). The website was launched by the Minister of State for External Affairs and the Minister of State for Culture Hon. Smt. Meenakshi Lekhi at her office in New Delhi on 24th May 2022. Launching the website and voicing her support for the initiative, Ms. Lekhi said, “I firstly wish my warm congratulations to Ms. Jane and her team for this website. Initiatives like International Desi help our people to stay connected. At a time when our diaspora is increasing its base outside the country, providing logistical and emotional support goes a long way. Such platforms keep our hearts connected irrespective of the physical distance.”

    International Desi is a unique community venture that offers a wide range of useful information and services to the Indian diaspora, including news, local services, employment, business, exclusive services for parents and relatives living in India, etc. This way, the community stays connected culturally, socially, emotionally, and professionally.

    It also aims to connect people with reliable third-party service providers such as legal assistance, housing, healthcare, etc., in India and outside. For that, International Desi will also host a series of events to expand the outreach of Indian culture. Most of all, it serves to connect Indian communities around the globe and challenge the growing issues of foreign alienation and loneliness.

    Ecstatic about the launch, Ms. Jane commented, “I would like to express my deep appreciation and gratitude to Ms. Meenakshi Lekhi Ji for taking time from her busy schedule to launch our website. The idea behind the website is to ease the adjustment and shifting processes and live in new locations. Leaving home can be a distressing change, and finding yourself in a completely foreign land has led many of us to feel homesick. The goal of International Desi is to bridge this gap and ensure that it feels like home wherever we are. We offer a full range of services, including business expansion and ideation, cultural exchanges, and even leisure resources. I hope the website serves its purpose, and fellow Indians who plan on moving across oceans can do it with no hassles.

    Now, we are also planning to help the global Indians reconnect with their families and friends in India and try to arrange the support in their absence to remain focused in their careers. Initially, it will be done through a third party.”

    Ms. Jane also extended her gratitude to Dr. Gyaneshwar Muley, former Secretary, Ministry of External Affairs, present at the launch event.

    So, let us live with an idea – “Happiness doesn’t have just one address.” -Anonymous

    Pragya Anand Crowned as Talenticaa Miss India Global Tourism 2022

    Read Time:2 Minute, 48 Second

    May 27: Pragya Anand made the people of India proud after winning the Miss India Global Tourism 2022 crown at the pageant held in Navi Mumbai on 13th May 2022. The stunner also won the subtitles for Best National costume, Beauty with Purpose and Best body. Pragya will now represent India on an international platform later this year. The glittering event saw finalists from different states participate in “Miss India Global 2022” was organised by Talenticaa.

    Pragya Anand on winning the title “Miss India Global 2022 Tourism”, commented, “In the competition, there was a national costume round where one has to showcase the culture of one’s state, and I chose to wear the traditional costumes of Bihar.” Pragya dedicated her success to her supportive and caring family.

    Pragya was looking stunningly gorgeous in the traditional Madhubani painting inspired attire that she designed herself and with the help of her parents. The young model wanted the costume to propagate the message of peace and harmony and awareness about the state’s local art and culture. Hence, she carefully picked up the theme of Lord Buddha and a replica of Vaishali’s Ashokastambha for her outfit.

    The confidence and charisma that Pragya displayed on the stage were outstanding. The girl was and is very vocal about the upliftment of the transgender community. During one of the subtitle rounds on Beauty with Purpose, her dialogue strongly advocated making the lives of transgender people financially stable and with equality. The judges were quite impressed and crowned her as the winner for that particular round.

    Born in Pune to parents Priyanka Anand and Agast Anand, Pragya and her elder brother Priyanshu were sent to a boarding school to get their elementary education. She states that she wanted to enter the glam world from the very beginning, but during her childhood, she lacked confidence and suffered from low esteem. The diva was once quite insecure about her appearance. Her brother inspired her to let go of her insecurities and believe in herself. Again, her grandmother (Aita), a sitarist, motivated her to explore new things and participate in extra curriculum activities.
