Asian Paints Sharad Shamman 2023 – The Festival Of Creativity

Asian Paints Sharad Shamman 2023 – The Festival of Creativity: www.youtube.com/watchv=0tr7yqWlnE4.

Two bogies of the tram have been beautified by Asian Paints. The exteriors of the first bogie capture the extraordinary 38-year journey of Asian Paints Sharad Shamman (APSS) in Kolkata. It features hand-painted artworks honouring Kumartuli – the traditional potters quarter in North Kolkata where Durga idols are sculpted. It also encapsulates Sindoor khela and Dhunuchi dance. The exterior artwork showcases the first print advertisement and the first winning pandal. The bogie also highlights the unique stories featured in People of Pujo – a documentary series capturing the lives and passions of those who make Pujo the celebration what it is! On the tram we see a visually impaired artist who has commendable skills and women dhakis who challenge the masculine stronghold of the performing arts.

Speaking on this occasion, Mr. Amit Syngle, CEO and MD, Asian Paints Limited, shared, “Since 1985, Asian Paints has been an integral part of West Bengals Durga Puja festivities through Asian Paints Sharad Shamman. It has been able to add to infuse creativity & thematic excellence across Pujo Pandals & allowed us to be a part of the celebration in a special way. This year, we are taking our celebrations to the next level with creative initiatives that pay tribute to the culture and traditions of West Bengal. The unique packaging for Royale Glitz seamlessly blends the wonders of technology with the timeless allure of West Bengals beauty. We have taken inspiration from native elements of West Bengal like the Bengal Tiger, Tram, Howrah Bridge & Baul to name a few and used it on our Pujo packaging for Glitz. We’ve also undertaken a complete transformation of the tram from Tollygunge to Ballygunge, turning it into the talk of the town just in time for Kolkatas most revered Durga Pujo festival. We believe in making art accessible for all and we are sure with this tram beautification initiative it will also add back to the legacy of Bengal in an extremely meaningful way.”

The conference included numerous business events of various formats: business sessions, discussions, debates, and B2B negotiations. Participants discussed the key factors cities should focus on to appeal to business tourists, the priorities for this specific group of travellers, and the potential growth opportunities within the industry.

The development of business tourism is important for Moscow as business travellers account for one-fifth of all tourist traffic to the capital. Indian tourists rank third in the number of business travellers from outside the CIS countries.

“Moscow serves as a thriving business hub equipped with all the necessary infrastructure to host international business events. In the first half of 2023, two million business tourists visited the capital – this is 10 per cent more than that in the same period last year. The segment of business travel has not only fully recovered to pre-COVID levels, but has also surpassed them,” stated Evgeny Kozlov, Chairman of the Moscow City Tourism Committee.

The city is concurrently implementing multiple initiatives aimed at enhancing its appeal to tourists. The Moscow City Tourism Committee places considerable emphasis on business tourism, collaborating with travel agencies to establish a consistent and substantial influx of tourists to the city.

“Ive been to Moscow many times before, and I can say that in recent years, Moscow has taken its level of hospitality to a new level as I see a lot of development taking place. The city has changed in many areas: digital innovation, technology, gastronomy, and infrastructure. The capital of Russia offers excellent opportunities and high-quality tourist products for both business and leisure travellers from India. Moreover, Moscow is a very safe city that ensures worry-free stay for all,” said Ashis K. Das, Representative of Wanderers Leisure Travels Pvt. Ltd.

Moscow presents a wide range of services capable of fulfilling the diverse requirements of business travellers. In addition, the capital offers a well-developed congress and exhibition infrastructure. There are at least 30 venues for large congresses, exhibitions, and business events in the city, which can accommodate more than 40,000 people. Moscow boasts a diverse array of amenities, including over 1,900 hotels and 18,500 cafes and restaurants spanning various segments. Moreover, the city has thoughtfully provided English signage at key locations to ensure the utmost comfort and convenience for its guests.

This August Russia launched e-visas for citizens of 55 countries, including India. Based on data from the first month alone, over 30,000 tourists have availed of this service. The validity period of an e-visa is 60 days from the date of its issuance. It allows a tourist to stay in Russia for 16 days. An e-visa has several advantages over a traditional visa. To obtain it, you do not need to go to consulates or embassies, and the only documents required are a digital photograph of your face and a scan of your passport data page.
