    Rooted in luxury, Aahana’s new film is a breath of fresh air

    MUMBAI: Sometimes, the deepest escapes take you not away, but inward. Aahana Resort, the boutique wilderness haven tucked away in Jim Corbett, has launched its evocative new brand film titled A Place That Stays With You, a lyrical ode to stillness, soul, and slow-living luxury. The film arrives alongside the resort’s refreshed brand identity and is a visual and emotional reminder of why Aahana is not just a destination, but an imprint.

    Created by Orange Elephant Studios, the film follows a lone traveller who finds healing not through spectacle, but in the hush of nature. Morning light slicing through dewdrops, organic meals under forest canopies, villas that cocoon rather than impress each moment speaks to a luxury that whispers, never shouts.

    “This film is our story told through the eyes of our guests,” said Aahana resort director and CMO Avni Tripathi. “It’s about finding something that lingers long after checkout, a connection, a calm, a comfort.”

    Once a stretch of barren land, Aahana was envisioned as a retreat where the wild could thrive and wellness could find its roots. Today, it stands as one of Jim Corbett’s most conscious luxury offerings. Villas open out to private greens, organic gardens feed the kitchen, and the presence of wildlife just beyond the property is a quiet reminder of harmony restored.

    The film more meditative than promotional positions Aahana as a leader in India’s boutique resort space, where hospitality feels handwritten and every stay is its own story. In a time of curated escapes, Aahana offers something rarer: authenticity.

    Because sometimes, the place you stay isn’t just a location, it’s a feeling that stays with you.

    Nikon India attempts evangelising bloggers, promotes photography as a culture

    BENGALURU: Nikon India, a 100 per cent subsidiary of Nikon Corporation has been organising ‘Through the lens‘ photography seminars in major cities in India. The company invites bloggers, especially photo-bloggers to such events to understand the nuances of photography and to gain in-depth knowledge of different technologies and advanced photographic techniques.

    Nikon as a brand is looking forward for creating brand evangelists by reaching out to the potential customers, D-SLR enthusiasts, early adopters, advanced D-SLR users by conducting photography workshops across different genres like wildlife, fashion, portrait, nature, product, street and much more. These are not just workshops for mere transfer of information but a broader platform to exchange the ideas, gauge the customer insight and carve out an offering in line with the expectation from the brand.

    A recent event in Bengaluru witnessed photo-enthusiasts from different walks of life – be it bloggers, media personnel or social media influencers. It held a photo competition, wherein the invitees were asked to upload their best photographs on twitter and the winning entry was awarded a Nikon Coolpix camera by ace photographer Raghu Rai.

    With another initiative with a view to promote photography as a culture in India, Nikon started the Nikon School in India in September, 2010. Through the Nikon School, the company has offered paid specialised services and expert guidance to both amateurs as well as photography enthusiasts by providing tips, expert guidance and insights on photography. The first outdoor workshop was held at Jim Corbett National Park followed by workshops on various genres of nature, studio, and wildlife and was a big hit with the participants.

    Going by the speed at which every Photo School seat is booked within a matter of hours of its announcement, the Nikon School initiative seems to be a huge success.
