The collection debuts two ranges, Froniq and Rovera, in six striking hues: sundune yellow, skyglass blue, coral orange, misty sage green, deeptide navy, and midnight black. Each shade tells its own story, inspired by surreal dreamscapes visualised through AI.

    “With Shades Ahead, Safari is creating a colour-first movement in luggage,” said Safari Industries (India) Ltd. managing director Sudhir Jatia. “Today’s travellers want something bold and expressive, and with Flipkart’s reach, we’re bringing that vibrancy to homes across India this festive season.”

    Mumbai: EMotorad – an electric cycle brand recently launched its ‘Daddy of all E-cycles’ campaign starring the famous Marathi actor, Upendra Limaye. The films have since then spread like wildfire, making the brand jump on the virality bandwagon and has spun a trend of its own that highlights the brand’s manufacturing strength and quality highlighted through its latest electric cycles Doodle V3 and T-Rex Air. Manufactured in Pune and exported globally, the brand embodies the essence of the ‘Make in India’ movement making it truly ‘Aatmanirbhar’.
