India's Luxury Market Surge: HNW and UHNW Population Set to Grow 11–15% CAGR Through 2034, a must-watch market for global luxury brands: BCG Report
Luxury is at a turning point. For the first time in more than a decade, the Personal Luxury Goods Market is experiencing a slowdown in growth, with flat to slightly negative performance expected in 2025. BCG's True Luxury Global Consumer Insights 2025 reveals a fundamental market shift: aspirational consumers—the entry point for many into luxury—are pulling back, while top-tier clients are confirmed to become the key engine for long-term value. The report, based on a global survey of luxury consumers across all spending tiers, with a focus on the ultra-spenders, provides a clear path forward for brands seeking to grow in a challenging environment. The global luxury market is at an inflection point—while aspirational consumers pull back, top-tier clients, who make up just 0.1% of the population, are driving 23% of all luxury spend. India is not yet the 'next China', but with its HNW and UHNW population growing at 11–15% CAGR through 2034, it is fast becoming a must-watch market for global luxury brands. As wealth creation accelerates and a young, brand-conscious demographic rises, brands are setting the stage for deeper local engagement. The future of luxury lies in re-focusing on craftsmanship, personalization, and intimate experiences—especially in emerging markets like India where aspiration is increasingly backed by affluence. Key findings of the report: Aspirational buyers are really slipping away: Once accounting for 70% of the luxury market, aspirational consumers have lost almost 15 percentage points in share as affordability concerns rise. The cost of chasing scale, losing soul in luxury: Luxury was once the realm of the few, but in the race for scale, much of the industry lost its soul and traded exclusivity for reach, stability for volatility. Brands overly exposed to Aspirational consumers are seeing their performance erode. The way forward starts at the core: The most resilient brands are those focused on top-tier clients - clients that spend on average 355.000 euro per year on luxury and build on an underlying HNWI audience of over 900,000 individuals growing ~10% annually. The report calls for a back to the core strategy: both on the core luxury consumer and on the core luxury fundamentals, by meeting top-client's expectations. Find them where they spend. Personal Luxury remains their baseline, but the share of wallet of those individuals spans beyond it: luxury is no longer confined to ownership—it is now about lifestyle orchestration, with a shift towards 'health-as-wealth' mindset What they expect from brands, they do not get. What they want is simple: connection, intimacy, excellence, recognition. What do they get? A luxury that still feels too noisy, too crowded, too industrialized. Brands need to refocus their strategy, centered on high-touch, human-led client relationships (enhanced by GenAI), exclusive experiences, and vertically integrated product quality.

Tata Group to focus on chips, digital platforms, EVs: Chandrasekaran
Tata Sons Chairman, N Chandrasekaran, has said that the company's main goal is to scale up its manufacturing excellence in semiconductors , electric vehicles , digital platforms and financial services. In the company's 2025 annual report, he said that Tata Electronics, which makes an annual revenue of ₹66,000 crore, is focusing on building a vertically integrated ecosystem for technology hardware and semiconductor manufacturing. The group has begun its semiconductor journey with the 28nm node and plans to build on that foundation toward advanced chipmaking. "Together with TCS, startups, and other ecosystem players, we will do whatever it takes to make India ready for the GenAI era. We will build the data centres and skill our employees in new AI tools, forge industry-best partnerships and deliver solutions through human+AI models to transform businesses," Chandrasekaran wrote. Tata Son's financial services arm Tata Capital is set to launch its initial public offering in the next six to eight weeks. In the electric vehicle space, Agratas is developing 60 GWh of battery capacity with facilities in India and the UK, supported by research and development centres in Bengaluru and Oxford , Chandrasekaran informed. In batteries and renewable power, our capacity creation must come with steady and guaranteed offtake, which is the foundation of good financial returns, he added. On the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) front, he said, the new priorities include reducing waste sent to landfills, creating biodiversity plans, and replenishing the fresh water we use. "I am proud to share with you that Tata Electronics is well on the road – it already employs over 65,000 workforce (of which approximately 70 per cent are women) and has an annual revenue of Rs 66,000 crore. In the capital-intensive world of technology hardware," he further said. Tata Power has quadrupled its renewable energy capacity over the last eight years. The subsidiary now leads India in rooftop solar and electric vehicle charging infrastructure, with 6,700 charging stations nationwide. During the last five years, the Tata Group's aggregate revenues rose by 1.9 times, aggregate net profits rose by 3.6 times, and the leverage ratio halved to 0.7 times.

AI ethics & employability
In today's Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered world, a silent transformation is underway. From automating mundane tasks to predicting human behaviour, artificial intelligence is reshaping how we live, work, and lead. And as industries adapt at breakneck speed, the question before us is no longer whether AI will shape the future of work—it's how prepared we are to shape it responsibly. AI (Unsplash) For business schools, this isn't just a curriculum challenge—it's a moral and strategic imperative. Machines now write emails, analyse markets, and even diagnose diseases. But while we celebrate these efficiencies, we must also confront a more sobering reality—our reliance on AI is growing faster than our understanding of its ethical boundaries. Many students entering the workforce today can prompt ChatGPT with ease, yet struggle to question the fairness of an algorithm or recognise when automation replaces empathy. This is where business education must evolve—not just to teach how AI works, but to ask why it should be used, who it serves, and what it might displace. At institutions like the University of Massachusetts Amherst and University of Colorado Boulder, business schools are already taking bold steps—launching dedicated courses on AI ethics, building multi-stakeholder committees, and embedding GenAI tools into foundational coursework. At FIIB, we too are reflecting deeply on how AI integration must be as much about critical thinking and conscience as it is about technical proficiency. Because at the heart of this revolution lies a powerful truth: AI is created by humans—and it inherits our flaws. From insurance companies using opaque algorithms to deny claims, to marketing departments unknowingly lifting copyrighted content, the ethical dilemmas are real and rising. Bias in datasets, lack of transparency, and the black-box nature of AI decision-making demand that we teach students not just to use these tools—but to challenge them, audit them, and lead ethically through them. Historically, universities have been centres of knowledge transmission. But in the AI age, they must also become centres of knowledge navigation—places where students learn how to live and lead in a world where human and machine intelligence coexist, often contentiously. We need to expand the traditional triad of teaching, research, and service into a more dynamic ecosystem—one that fuses academic rigor with industry relevance and social responsibility. AI shouldn't just be a vertical within IT electives; it should become a horizontal theme cutting across marketing, operations, finance, and strategy. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in India provides a timely foundation for this shift. By encouraging multidisciplinary thinking, innovation labs, and industry-academia collaboration, the NEP invites institutions to evolve beyond silos and reimagine themselves as hubs of real-world problem-solving. India is at a critical inflection point. With declining university-age demographics, rapid industrial shifts, and growing global competition, universities cannot afford to stand still. They must embed AI thinking across disciplines, establish centres of excellence, collaborate with industry to shape demand-driven curricula, and foster faculty development programmes that ensure educators are as AI-aware as their students. This transformation need not be expensive—it must be intentional. We've already seen industry giants like Microsoft and Google partner with Indian institutions to create AI upskilling initiatives. But what we need next is a coordinated national strategy—one that recognises business schools not just as talent factories, but as ethics incubators and policy influencers. Amid all this change, one thing must remain clear: AI should not be used to replace human intelligence—it should enhance it. And that enhancement must include empathy, diversity, fairness, and inclusion. We must teach our students that while AI may accelerate analysis, it cannot replace curiosity. It may automate tasks, but not trust. And it may generate content, but not character. Let us not create a generation of professionals who can code without conscience or automate without accountability. Let us instead nurture responsible leaders who understand that the future of business is not just digital—it's deeply human. In the race to keep up with AI, business schools must not just adapt—they must lead. And they must do so with boldness, foresight, and a renewed commitment to building a world where technology serves humanity—not the other way around.
