The boutique Indian wedding company that's found a global following

Time of India21-04-2025

Weddings have always been about celebration—but in recent years, they've also become about storytelling. And in that quiet shift, one boutique Indian company seems to have carved out its own niche—Atrangi Events, a name that's been showing up more and more on the global wedding circuit.
Started by Aayush, an architect with a keen eye for design, and Sahhiil, a seasoned planner with over a decade in the wedding industry, Atrangi wasn't originally built to go big. It was more a creative experiment between friends—combining structure with spontaneity, tradition with innovation. But somewhere along the way, that experiment started to take off.
From lavish palace ceremonies in Rajasthan to barefoot vows on Goan beaches, the duo's work leans into the details—rituals, layouts, lighting—without ever losing the thread of the couple's story. 'It's less about making it grand and more about making it feel like them,' Aayush says.
Their work has started drawing attention beyond borders. A recent win at the Great Indian Wedding Awards for 'Best Destination Wedding (India)' came as a nod to their growing reputation. But for the team, the focus seems to be less on accolades and more on pushing the format—finding new ways to keep ceremonies rooted in culture while letting them evolve for the now.
As the client list gets more global, so does the challenge. But the approach stays the same: personal, flexible, and quietly unconventional. 'Every wedding is its own design challenge,' says Sahhiil, 'and we treat it like one.'
The world of destination weddings may be full of grandeur, but Atrangi Events is making a case for something else—thoughtful celebrations that travel well, feel personal, and reflect the people at the center of them.

Fight & Flight

When countries fight, planes can't fly as freely. That's what happened recently when Israel attacked Iran. Airlines had to avoid flying over not just those two countries, but also nearby ones like Iraq and Jordan. Syria's airspace is already too dangerous, so even more flights had to be cancelled or changed — including about 30 from India. West Asia (the Middle East) is very important for air travel. Around 1,400 flights go through it every day. So, if there's trouble there, it affects flights all over the world. Other places are also risky. For example, Afghanistan isn't safe to fly over, Pakistan's airspace has been shut for Indian airlines since April, and Russia and Ukraine are mostly off-limits because of war. Why is all this such a big deal? Because flying around these dangerous areas means taking longer routes. That uses more fuel, takes more time, and costs more money. For example, flying around Pakistan adds 913 km to the Delhi-to-Amsterdam trip. One Indian airline said if Pakistan's airspace stays shut for a year, it could cost them an extra $600 million! In fact, every hour of flying the long way can cost up to $12,000 more. And guess what? That extra cost often gets added to your ticket price. So, even if a war is far away, it can still affect your flight — and your wallet. Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Disclaimer Views expressed above are the author's own.

Iran-Israel war: Iran airspace shut, international flights from India to take longer

Representative image NEW DELHI: Flights between the West and India, mainly Delhi and Mumbai, will get even longer following the Iranian airspace closure on Friday after Israel attacked the country's nuclear sites. Sixteen Air India (AI) flights were impacted Friday, with the majority diverting and the others returning to origin. AI had resumed overflying Iran shortly after Pakistan had closed its airspace to Indian carriers on April 24 to partially mitigate the longer route its flights had to take since then. While AI will have to take longer routes to and from the West, IndiGo between Delhi and Tbilisi and Delhi and Baku will become one-stop flights now. With both Pakistan and Iran no-go areas, Indian carriers will have to take really longer routes to reach Central Asia. "We are studying the situation and some AI flights may become one-stop after closure of Iran airspace," said sources. Also, if and when Iran retaliates, the airspace of countries near Israel, like Jordan and Lebanon, also be impacted. This has in the past forced airlines to take longer detours in that area whenever conflict escalates. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List "Due to the emerging situation in Iran, subsequent closure of its airspace, and in view of safety of our passengers, (some) Air India flights are either being diverted or returning to their origin. We regret the inconvenience caused to our passengers due to this unforeseen disruption and are making every effort to minimise it, including providing accommodation for passengers," Air India said Friday. "Refund on cancellation or complimentary rescheduling is also being offered to guests who opt for it. Alternative arrangements are being made to fly passengers to their destinations. We advise passengers to check their flight status," AI added. Air India flights impacted Friday were AI-130 (London Heathrow-Mumbai), diverted to Vienna; AI-102 (New York-Delhi), diverted to Sharjah; AI-116 (New York-Mumbai), diverted to Jeddah; AI-2018 (London Heathrow-Delhi), diverted to Mumbai; AI-129 (Mumbai-London Heathrow), returned to Mumbai; AI-119 (Mumbai-New York), returned to Mumbai; AI-103 (Delhi-Washington), returned to Delhi; AI-106 (Newark-Delhi), diverted to Vienna; AI-188 (Vancouver-Delhi), diverted to Jeddah; AI-101 (Delhi-New York), diverted to Frankfurt/Milan; and AI-126 (Chicago-Delhi), diverted to Jeddah.

Gen Z Is Balling Solo, Paying via UPI & Redeeming Loyalty Coins; Cleartrip Data Reveals Gen Z's Bold New Travel Playbook

Travel, the Gen Z Way: Solo, Digital & on their terms! Cleartrip, a Flipkart company and one of India's fastest-growing online travel technology platforms, has released new data insights from its latest report highlighting how Gen Z travellers are reshaping the Indian travel landscape. With a strong digital and an aspirational mindset, this cohort is increasingly adopting new-age travel behaviours that reflect independence, flexibility, and a willingness to spend on comfort and personal freedom. 'Gen Z travellers are rewriting the rules of Travel. For them, travel is not just a break, but a lifestyle choice and a form of self-expression,' said a Cleartrip spokesperson. 'They're independent, digitally savvy, and far more willing to spend on personalised, comfortable experiences, often preferring solo or niche travel over traditional group itineraries.' Key highlights from the Cleartrip Gen Z Travel Report: Gen Z is choosing to Travel Solo According to Cleartrip's data, Gen Z is increasingly embracing solo travel, with a 7% higher share of solo trips compared to other age groups. This depicts a notable shift from traditional family trips, where budgets and choices were shared and often driven by older members. Today's Gen Z traveller seeks the freedom to explore offbeat, experience-driven destinations on their terms by focusing on adventure, nature, and peace over traditional sightseeing. Smart and Flexible Payments define Gen Z travel choices This independent travel mindset also reflects in how they choose to pay for their trips. Gen Z is leaning into UPI and debit card usage more than credit cards, with 10% more UPI transactions than other groups. EMI-based travel payments are widely preferred, with more than 10% of Gen Z users opting for this mode. This points to Gen Z's strong aspiration to travel luxuriously, regardless of budget constraints. Gen Z prioritises Convenience Another emerging trend is the rise in meal-attached bookings among Gen Z compared to the older age groups, indicating a steady catch-up in preferences for convenience and full-service experiences. Flexibility and Value are Key Drivers Gen Z travellers are likely to opt for flexible travel options like Cleartrip's ClearChoice, reflecting their preference for spontaneity and travel on their terms. They're also about 1 in 10 more likely to redeem reward points such as SuperCoins and use travel coupons 1.5 times more often than other age groups, underlining their strong focus on value-driven travel.
