what to expect at TIS 8.0

The India Story Now

'NOW' is actually more than just a concept for us all. It is a state of being in the moment, of being in the present. It has more than a tangible connotation, allowing us to dive into the adventure of spaces, dimensions, design, art, food, fashion, and lifestyle.

The idea of now transcends from what is happening around us, right here right now and this is what will be reflected in our stories this year.
