The Nature of Design: what the VI Moscow Interior and Design Week has in store for Indian companies and visitors
Moscow Interior and Design Week will take place from May 22 to May 25, 2025, at the Manege Central Exhibition Hall. This year's theme, 'The Nature of Design,' emphasizes the balance between nature and technology, aligning with global trends in sustainable and innovative design. This season, Russia's largest industry event will bring together over 1,100 leading manufacturers, designers, and entrepreneurs from around the world.
This time, more than 45 foreign companies and designers from 15 countries will showcase their work, including Jordan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, India, and many others. Jaipur Rugs will represent India with an exclusive huge carpet based on the work of Russian artist Svyatoslav Roerich. 'Where are you going, my brother?'
India and Russia share longstanding trade relations, and Moscow Interior and Design Week serves as a platform to expand partnerships in interior design, architecture, and smart home technologies.
The exhibition offers opportunities to exchange experience with Russian designers, discuss investment prospects, and explore opportunities to expand distribution channels.
For example, a special international session will be held as part of the exhibition, organized in cooperation with the Moscow Export Center. It will feature 50 export-oriented Russian enterprises, including participants of the Moscow Export Center programs and Moscow Interior and Design Week participants, as well as 10 foreign importer companies. The event aims to establish and develop trade relations with international partners, conclude profitable export contracts, and implement large joint projects.
For Indian companies, participating in Moscow Interior and Design Week is an excellent opportunity to enter the Russian and CIS markets, establish business connections, and present products to a target audience of industry professionals, developers, and consumers. There is a growing demand in Russia for high-quality handmade furniture, textile design, and home decor items—areas in which Indian manufacturers have a strong global reputation.
Indian companies and speakers have repeatedly participated in Moscow Interior and Design Week. Last year's business program included Shruti Dimri, Director of Anagram Architect. Additionally, the India Trade Promotion Council and the Furniture Manufacturers and Traders Association took part in the exhibition. Jaipur Rugs is returning for the second time as a headliner. It is also important to note that the Embassy of India in Russia is a regular guest at the exhibition.
This time, over 180 experts, including well-known entrepreneurs, designers, and architects who are advancing the industry, will take part. There will also be world-class stars such as Yogesh Chaudhary, Director and owner of the Indian brand Jaipur Rugs, ranked among the top 50 luxury industry leaders by The Style List magazine. Under his leadership, the company has reached an international level with showrooms in Milan, Dubai, London, and Singapore. Jaipur Rugs' clients include tennis star Serena Williams, and the brand's carpets decorate the interiors of the legendary Bvlgari hotel. Architect Shakuf Hassam, who previously worked for more than 17 years at the famous Zaha Hadid architectural bureau, as well as leading global experts in cultural entrepreneurship and women's leadership such as Her Excellency Reem Bin Karam, will also participate.
Moscow Interior and Design Week offers an exciting cultural experience and a chance to explore the latest trends in Russian and European interior design. The exhibition covers over 10,000 square meters and includes modern and classical interior solutions, Russian craftsmanship in home decor, ceramics, and furniture production. Visitors can also join organized factory tours to gain insight into Russian production processes and establish contacts with international designers and industry leaders.
Since its launch in 2022, Moscow Interior and Design Week has attracted participants from over 20 countries.

‘Shame On You': Sabeer Bhatia's Critical Remarks On Indian Economy Leave Internet Furious
Last Updated: The Hotmail co-founder has now taken a swipe at India's pride in becoming the world's fourth-largest economy. Indian-American entrepreneur Sabeer Bhatia has stirred controversy once again, following a series of critical remarks about the Indian economy. Just days after questioning the country's GDP claims, the Hotmail co-founder has now taken a swipe at India's pride in becoming the world's fourth-largest economy. Posting on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, Bhatia stated that Indians should feel ashamed of the nation's low average income levels, despite the population reaching 1.4 billion. His remarks sparked widespread backlash, with many users flooding the comment section to criticise and challenge his statements. 'Instead of hanging your head in shame that 415 million people in India survive on $3.10/day, you brag about being the world's 4th largest economy. Shame on you," Bhatia wrote on X.

Shame on you.— Sabeer Bhatia (@sabeer) June 10, 2025 In response to Bhatia's post, many slammed him for gaining attention through the comments and not making any real contribution. The business was also engaged with a few critics, offering further insights. As one wrote, 'Why are you bragging about being the world's No. 1 economy with $36–37 trillion in debt? You're entirely dependent on a migrant population, conducting coups in other countries, and stealing their gold and oil resources. There is massive overvaluation of companies and many other things," to which Bhatia replied, 'Nobody is bragging. Show me one place where the US is bragging (except in your head). You've been fed the wrong story." A comment read, 'Sabeer, you may have your own ideas. Why don't you come to India, contest elections, win them, implement your agenda, and show the results? That would be better than sitting in an ivory tower and passing judgments." This is not the first time that Bhatia's comments on India have irked the internet. Earlier in May, the businessman shared a video criticising the country's economic growth. 'We overtook Japan in GDP… but can you feel it in your pocket? Growth without distribution is merely inflation in disguise," he wrote in the caption.

Among those who pushed back was former Infosys director Mohandas Pai, who openly challenged Bhatia's claims. This sparked a heated exchange between the two. First Published:

Paytm share price cracks 10% after MDR clarification
Paytm share price in focus today: Shares of One 97 Communications, the parent company of Paytm, plunged 10% in early trade on Thursday, June 12, hitting an intraday low of ₹ 864.40 apiece, as investor sentiment turned sour after the Finance Ministry dismissed reports about the possible introduction of a Merchant Discount Rate (MDR). The stock has been in the spotlight in recent months amid reports suggesting that the Indian government may consider restoring merchant charges on UPI transactions. However, the Finance Ministry dismissed the speculation as 'false, baseless, and misleading,' stating that no MDR will be charged on UPI payments. "Speculation and claims that the MDR will be charged on UPI transactions are completely false, baseless, and misleading. Such baseless and sensation-creating speculations cause needless uncertainty, fear and suspicion among our citizens," Finance Ministry said in a post on X. "The Government remains fully committed to promoting digital payments via UPI," it added. This response came after reports in a section of media claimed that the Centre is considering reintroducing MDR on UPI transactions above ₹ 3,000 in a move to support banks and payment service providers. In March, the Payments Council of India (PCI), representing 180 non-banking payment players, urged the government to reconsider the Zero MDR policy for UPI and RuPay debit card transactions, citing financial sustainability concerns. The policy, in place since January 2020, has strained the ecosystem despite a government incentive of ₹ 1,500 crore—far short of the ₹ 10,000 crore annual operational cost. To address this, PCI proposed reintroducing MDR for RuPay debit cards and a 0.3% MDR on UPI for large merchants. Meanwhile, UPI continues to dominate India's digital payments, contributing 80% of retail transactions in FY24, with 131 billion transactions valued over ₹ 200 lakh crore. January 2025 marked a monthly high with 16.99 billion transactions worth ₹ 23.48 lakh crore. Disclaimer: The views and recommendations given in this article are those of individual analysts.
