Malls Of Pune

Styling Escorts

The last few years have witnessed a sudden rise in designer boutiques, multi-designer stores and designer brands at malls in Pune. Studio Rudraksh in Aundh has gone a step further to better the shopping experience with the inclusion of the Style Concierge – a professional stylist who will prepare an easy shopping list for a customer.

Racks of chic, trendy outfits meet the eye while entering the elegant multi-designer store nestled at Anand Park. From Malini Ramani to Wendell Rodricks, Neeta Lulla to Tarun Tahiliani, the names only get better as you browse through. “And now, with our new concept, our clients will be even better informed about each designer and what outfit will suit them better,” says owner Rasika Wakalkar. The studio has recently tied up with stylists from Mumbai to come down to Pune on fixed days and as and when requested by clients here. “The style concierge will sit down with the clients and give them advice about what kinds of clothes to buy, what trends would suit them and what outfits would enhance their wardrobe,” says Wakalkar.

And while the concierge guides clients through the designer labels and accessories available inside the store, the service will also extend to shopping from other stores in Pune. “The city sees so many expats coming in. Some are curious about local culture, while others want to know about fashion of the city. This is another area where our stylist can help, by giving information about nearby boutiques and guiding them through shopping ,” Wakalkar adds.

A massive boost to education, since independence, for example, churning out graduates by the thousands, did not make sense, until, some decades now, these educational institutions began to pay dividends by a wise switch to quality education- so India has one of the largest pool of engineers and software engineers, followed by good doctors, and management cadres……….some of the best international companies have Indians at the top- CE Os.

What seemed senseless some forty years now, building of water dams all ac cross India, seen as a threat to ecology, are now also seen as paying dividends; India is self sufficient in agriculture, its milk and wheat production, for example, is one of the highest in the world.

Nationalisation of banks, for example, was decried loud from the rooftop, and some of the nationalised banks are seen as poor cousins, in terms of efficient service, of private banks, established later; but these banks, thanks to regulated financial activity by government, are very strong financially whilst foreign banks and finance hubs like Lehman Brothers collapsing like nine pins.

Some of the indigenous companies, allowed during those years of socialist policies, like Hindustan Motors, churning out old models, have now taken a deserved beating; but some of the pharmaceutical, steel, hotels, and others, changing with the times and pursuing the best business policies, companies like Tata Steel from earlier days, or Reliance Industries and Airtel, which came up later; Reliance has, for example, put up the largest oil refining plant, in Asia, in Gujarat. Airtel has one of the largest network of mobile telephony in Asia. Heritage hotels run by various companies are running some of the best hotels in the world.

Whilst in India, in September-October this year, I watched quarterly results of some Indian companies on CNBC, and Infosys, and others, continue to make profits, planning to increase staff!!

Economic policies that take a very severe beating are the nationalisation of electric production……….in Pune, thanks to this very inefficient handling of plans for growth of electric infrastructure, power is shut for six to seven hours each day!! Just last Sunday, from here in NZ, where I now read Indian news reports, power was shut in some parts of Pune from 7 a. m. to 8 p. m.
