Ritu Berry told us “My desire is to open the Indian doors to luxury brands from various countries and to strengthen the voice of India abroad – the idea is to create an increased pool of knowledge and competence. It is the alliance of tradition and modernity, expertise and creativity, history and innovation. Indian luxury is the envy of the world; it owes its success to an admirable pool of talent. This talent is our treasure that we need to nurture & protect”

The Luxury League has an Advisory Governing Board (AGB) which is the core think tank of The Luxury League to advise on policy matters, matters of where The Luxury League should be heading and the directions it will follow. The AGB comprises of eminent personalities from the global world of Luxury brands. The various commissions be they country specific, segment specific or city specific are empowered to chart out their own agenda and programs but under the overall guidance of the Advisory Governing Board. This brings in flexibility, leadership qualities and diversity along with innovation, entrepreneurship and creativity. The motto of The Luxury League is to promote creativity, innovation, ethical practices, use of technology in the Luxury segment while preserving the diversity on India’s ancient heritage & cultural arts.
