About this issue
Dear Readers,
October arrives with the unmistakable warmth of the festive season—a time when homes light up, traditions come alive and families find new reasons to come together. In this festive issue of You & I, we celebrate the spirit of the season through stories of people, traditions, ambition and journeys.
Our Feature Story takes us into the homes of Hyderabad as Navratri and Dussehra unfold across the city. While every family has its own rituals, recipes and customs, there is a common thread that binds these celebrations: the joy of togetherness. From prayers and festive meals to cherished traditions being passed down to the next generation, our city’s families share what these festivals mean to them and the values they hope to carry forward.
On our cover, we feature Chandrakala Bobba, Director of the Bobba Group, who is steering a remarkable new chapter in her family’s three-decade legacy. With roots spanning aviation, airport cargo handling, ground services and warehousing, she is now driving global trade forward with Bobba Express. In our Cover Story, she speaks about breaking global frontiers, the art of swift commerce, and navigating the many dimensions of a family legacy.
In People in Focus, we meet Sanjiti Kapoor, founder of skincare brand Anoū, whose venture was born from her personal experience with hyperpigmentation and grew into a journey of discovery and purpose. In the Spotlight is Siddharth Reddy, CEO of Country Club, who is embracing an exciting new sporting chapter. Returning from Da Nang, Vietnam, with one gold, two silver medals and a bronze in pickleball, he reflects on representing India, the importance of trust between doubles partners, and why sporting ambition has no age limit.
In Sports, we turn the spotlight to Indian shooters Kynan Chenai and Neeru Dhanda, who made history at the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya by winning gold in the trap mixed team event. After entering the final in fourth place, the duo staged a remarkable comeback, displaying patience, composure and resilience to clinch India’s first gold in the event.
Wishing you a beautiful, joyful and prosperous festive season.
