Rana Daggubati opens up about the second innings that came after a kidney transplant forced him off the advance-cheque circuit — the quiet build of Spirit Media into India's unlikeliest indie distribution outfit, the tequila brand, the cloud kitchens, and why Baahubali was both blessing and curse. Elsewhere, Sawai Padmanabh Singh explains why he bristles at polo being called a royal sport anymore, and what it's actually going to take to put the game on a streaming platform. Fashion gets a double bill: from Lakmé Fashion Week on the menswear shift toward fluid silhouettes and upgraded denim, while Jaipur's Diggi Palace on FDCI Men's Weekend showcased how tailoring is learning to breathe and colour has stopped apologising for itself. In watches, we caught up with Rado CEO Adrian Bosshard in Delhi for the Le Corbusier ceramic unveil — a conversation that turns, improbably, to motorcycle racing — and then takes a deeper look at French watchmaking, the industry that trained half of Switzerland and then forgot to build factories of its own. Stare down the 142 illuminated stars on the nose of the Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric and do the maths on 792 kilometres of range, while the Ferrari 849 Testarossa revives a nameplate that probably would have stayed in the museum and absolutely should not have. And to round it off, we’ve just returned from Silicon Valley after spending a week with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which very nearly converted us to becoming an android user.
