Here & Now was conceived as Ananta Hotels & Resorts' editorial extension, a space to pause, reflect and give form to the philosophy that has guided the brand since its earliest days.

Here & Now was envisioned as a living document of Ananta's worldview, one that captures landscapes, ideas, people and moments as they are truly experienced.

Why Here & Now

The impulse behind Here & Now came from a simple yet increasingly urgent truth: in a world accelerating endlessly forward, the ability to be present has become a luxury. For Ananta, Here & Now served three purposes, philosophical articulation, cultural positioning and continuity of vision.

How It Took Shape

Editorial themes centred on presence over performance, wellness as a way of living, travel as inward movement, food as memory and culture and sustainability as lived responsibility. Long-form narratives were chosen over quick reads. Pieces like Panchtatva: Five Elements of Wellness explored healing through the senses. Destination narratives moved beyond itineraries to capture mood, seasonality and emotional geography.

What Emerged

Here & Now established Ananta's voice beyond hospitality marketing, positioning the brand as a thoughtful curator of modern Indian living. The magazine now functions as a philosophical anchor that informs Ananta's experiential IPs, wellness narratives, culinary direction and future expansions.
