New Delhi: MONIN, the premium French brand, an innovative flavour solutions creator and trusted partner for hospitality professionals all over the world, has announced the launch of a new product category, Le Crush de MONIN, specially curated for the Indian market. It comes in three amazing flavours: Mango, Strawberry and Pineapple.
Through this new addition of flavours to its portfolio, MONIN promises to bring greater choices for bartenders, baristas, pastry chefs, ice-cream makers, culinarians, and at-home mixologists. Now, they have the chance to ‘Crush it with MONIN’, and embrace the rich and refreshing flavours of every season.
Le Crush de MONIN is a non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free product range curated specifically to cater to the diverse Indian palette. It contains 35% of Real Fruit Content along with real pieces of fruit. So, whether it is a fresh batch of cupcakes, a scrumptious homemade dessert, a drool-worthy topping for ice cream, or a funky cocktail, Le Crush de MONIN crushes can add a fruity punch to any drinks or dessert session. Each crush is specially made with carefully-picked and freshly-stored mangoes, strawberries, and pineapples, and comes with the assurance of authenticity and quality associated with the MONIN name.
MONIN has been serving quality and innovative products for more than a century, and these latest creations promise to enhance and jazz up the personality of any beverage or culinary recipe they are added to. For those who have never experienced the taste of MONIN, Le Crush de MONIN’s three bursting-with-fruitiness flavours will make for the perfect introduction to the brand.
MONIN has always offered endless possibilities, and ease of use, when it comes to preparing that perfect dessert or drink, and with Le Crush de MONIN, you will find that your innovations at the bar and in the kitchen will have no limits.
Sharing his thoughts, Mr Germain Araud, Managing Director of MONIN India Pvt. Ltd. said, “It gives me great delight to introduce to the Indian market these first three Le Crush de MONIN flavours, specially curated for India in an effort to be closer to the local palate. I have no doubt that the Mango, Strawberry and Pineapple Crushes will be savoured by our Indian customers, who in my experience are as discerning connoisseurs as anyone else in the world who enjoys great food and drink. I am also pleased to announce that within this new category we are currently developing more flavours, which will be launched from 2023 onwards.”
Speaking of innovation and being closer to the Indian market in its endeavours of being a ‘Glocal’ brand, MONIN also launched a ‘New & Improved’ Vanilla Frappé earlier this year. This was made exclusively for the Indian market keeping in mind the expectations of the local customers. Le Frappe de MONIN Vanilla, a truly ‘Make in India’ product is transforming the preparation of dairy-based beverages like milkshakes, smoothies, cold coffees and frappes. Moreover, the ease and versatility of its use encourage the replacement of vanilla ice cream with frappe powder. MONIN will also soon be introducing Spiced Jamun Syrup, the brand’s first ‘Desi’ flavour for the Indian market.
About MONIN:
A family company created in 1912, a premium French brand, an innovative flavour solutions creator, a trusted partner for hospitality professionals all over the world. At the heart of MONIN are people—open-minded, gourmet, passionate, curious, open to new ideas, always pushing the boundaries, and seeking to endlessly inspire. And representative of our way of thinking and working are three words: Quality, Creativity and Innovation. Faithful to our French heritage, our headquarters is in Bourges, where the company was founded. We never stop creating and this is why our portfolio, embracing 150 flavours, is unrivalled.
MONIN is more than a drink solution, it’s a way of living, an experience based on our century-old expertise, and a brand respectful of the environment. It’s about authenticity and bringing people together, using only the best and the most natural ingredients in the most exciting and creative way.
For more than a hundred years, MONIN has taken risks in exploring new markets by launching unexpected products. Eventually, they became the leading brand of choice for beverage professionals worldwide. Our goal has always been to help our customers succeed in crafting the most innovative and ahead-of-the-trend drinks, from the small independent coffee shop to the high-standing bar, from international quick service chains to local mom-and-pop restaurants.
We’ve succeeded not only by providing consistent and premium quality, but also by producing more and more locally, to be closer to our suppliers and markets, allowing us to better understand the needs of our customers. This led us to become not only French, but also American, Malaysian, Chinese, and soon-to-be Brazilian and Indian.
MONIN in India
India has become a top-priority market for this iconic French brand, which established its wholly-owned subsidiary in Hyderabad as MONIN India Pvt. Ltd. In 2018, the company committed to directly invest Rs.100 crores in India in the first phase, which included the setting up of a manufacturing plant in Telangana and an in-house R&D centre in Hyderabad. In 2021, they expanded their commitment by doubling the amount to Rs.200 crores. In 2021, MONIN India reinforced their presence in India by opening its first owned state-of-the-art studio in the country, at The Dhan Mill in New Delhi, with a second one due to open in Bangalore in 2023. And in 2022, they extended their engagement by bringing back the popular MONIN Cup to India, to identify the nation's 'brightest young bartender', with the national winner getting the chance to participate in the International Grand Finale in France at the end of the year. Clearly, this is a journey that holds plenty of potential.

Carlton Cannes to become Europe’s first new generation Regent Hotel in spring 2023
/IHG Hotels & Resorts partners with owner and developer Katara Hospitality to continue the development of its luxury & lifestyle portfolio in France
DECEMBER – CANNES: IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has today announced a historic addition to its Regent Hotels & Resorts portfolio - a continuation of its partnership with the hotel’s owner and developer Katara Hospitality.
The announcement celebrates the longstanding partnership between IHG Hotels & Resorts and Carlton Cannes owner Katara Hospitality, an award-winning Qatar-based global hotel developer and operator with over 50 years of experience in luxury hospitality.
Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel will open in Spring 2023 after a two-year multi-million Euro redevelopment. The property will become a flagship property within the new generation of Regent Hotels & Resorts, as the brand – part of IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle Collection - returns to reimagine modern luxury once more.
Mr Andrew Humphries, Acting Chief Executive Officer, Katara Hospitality, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be working with IHG to transform the Carlton Cannes into a Regent Hotel, providing an inspiring gateway from which to explore the wonders of the French Riveira. Our aim is to deliver the serene and sensational at every turn. Our significant and continued investment will ensure that the hotel will stand the test of time for many years to come.”
Kenneth Macpherson, EMEAA Regional CEO, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “With a long history of hosting royalty, dignitaries and stars of stage and screen, the Carlton Cannes is one of the world’s most iconic hotels. It is an icon of Riviera glamour, and we look forward to working with strategic partner Katara Hospitality to bring the reimagined Regent experience to life at the Carlton Cannes. This is just the start of our ambition to grow the brand further across Europe.”
Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel will have 332 rooms and 37 branded residences, designed by revered French interior designer Tristan Auer, known for his singular approach, polyhedral aesthetics and exquisite vision with just a touch of irreverence. The grand-scale renovation programme skillfully preserves the hotel’s historic features, including its legendary façade, whilst creating a modern-day masterpiece that echoes the design philosophy of new Regent Hotels & Resorts. Guests staying at Calton Cannes – a Regent Hotel will experience the brand’s distinctive new hallmarks.
The epitome of elegance and the ‘Grande Dame’ of Cannes’ hotel scene, the property’s majestic Belle Epoque façade, framed by twin domes, occupies the frontage of an entire city block overlooking the prestigious beachfront promenade, La Croisette.
The addition of Carlton Cannes to the Regent Hotels & Resorts portfolio marks a truly historic milestone in the reimagination of the legendary Regent brand since it joined IHG Hotels & Resorts in 2018. Created in 1970 to reinvent luxury travel, the brand builds on a storied heritage of innovation, extraordinary views, landmark destinations and exceptional service. Carlton Cannes will join the new era of Regent along with Chongqing, Shanghai and Phu Quoc in celebrating the most refined experiences for modern luxury trendsetters.
Regent Phu Quoc opened in Vietnam in April this year, becoming the first new-build Regent to open following the brand’s new approach after the elegant renovations of Regent Chongqing and Regent Shanghai the year prior. Regent Hong Kong will come back to Victoria Harbour by year end after a full renovation and is set to be closely followed by the opening of Regent Bali early in 2023.
Over 50 years ago, the founders of Regent Hotels & Resorts set out to redefine luxury travel. Regent Hotels was the pioneer in hotel design with bold firsts, setting the ultimate standards that live across luxury hotel brands to this day. Blending Eastern and Western customs and nuances, Regent’s heritage boasts remarkable locations such as Hong Kong’s waterfront landmark and now La Croisette in Cannes and the hotel will truly become a legend reborn.
Carlton Cannes is one of eight Regent properties in the pipeline for IHG and will be a brand flagship property in Europe. The signing signifies the importance of the French market to IHG. France has long been a go-to destination for European and global leisure and business travellers. Currently, there are 63* open hotels and 18* hotels in the pipeline in France.

Trainee Marine Biologist Modules at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru

Knowledge is Power: A Marine Biology Journey Starts With Trainee Marine Biologist Modules at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru, Immersing Youngsters in Ground Breaking Conservation and Research
Mumbai, December 2022: The fight for a healthier ocean is real and not to be taken lightly. Continuing more than 15 years of dedication to its UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve home, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru has launched a new series of Trainee Marine Biologist modules to offer young adults a deep dive into pioneering marine research in one of the world’s most abundant oceanic territories.
Designed for 15 to 19-year-olds, the six one-day, one-to-one modules are designed as a serious foundation for scientifically minded teens, those considering a career in marine biology, or anyone with a genuine desire to deeply engage with the natural world.
Each module combines practical activities with comprehensive take-home texts for a deep dive into what it takes to be a Coral Biologist, Dolphin Biologist, Turtle Biologist, Aquarist, Plankton Biologist, or Manta Biologist. Each privately taught module stands alone and is bookable as a single-day experience.
Trainees work alongside the Resort’s expert Marine Savers marine biologists, on-site veterinarian and experts from The Manta Trust, gaining a unique insight into the Resort’s conservation projects. Activities might include using artificial intelligence to monitor coral reef restoration, cultivating artemia and rotifers in the Fish Lab, tracking and identifying local cetaceans, rehabilitating injured turtles, and contributing to the conservation of the world’s largest known population of manta rays.
“We know from experience that actively engaging youngsters with marine environments is key to inspiring long-term conservation efforts,” comments Simon Dixon, Manager of Landaa Giraavaru’s Marine Discovery Centre. “Our trainee modules offer an in-depth experience of life in our field and are a great foundation for anyone with a passion for environmental action. It’s the kind of training I would have loved in my own youth.”
Explore one or more of the following one-day modules:
Trainee Coral Biologist
A unique insight into the incredible underwater world of coral reefs – the most diverse of all marine ecosystems – and how to help ensure their survival. Alongside the resident Coral Biologist, trainees will take part in every aspect of the coral restoration project, from preparation and transplanting to photography and uploading.
Trainee Dolphin Biologist
An opportunity to be part of the conservation story of the Maldives’ much-loved marine mammals: dolphins and whales. Working alongside the Dolphin Biologists, trainees will find out all about these magnificent creatures, go on a cruise to track their movements around the islands, and take and process photos to identify individuals.
Trainee Turtle Biologist
Sea turtles have been found throughout the world’s oceans since around the time of the dinosaurs – with the exception of the polar seas – but now six of their seven species are at risk of extinction. Alongside the resident Turtle Biologist, trainees will learn about sea turtle anatomy and biology, the threats they face in the wild and what can be done to help conserve them.
Trainee Aquarist
This module takes a closer look at some of the smaller organisms that inhabit the underwater world. From plankton to clownfish, rotifers to jellyfish, each play a part in ensuring healthy ecosystems that sustain life. A fascinating introduction to the work in the Fish Lab, this module highlights the dangers and threats facing each species and explores how we can help ourselves by helping the oceans.
Trainee Plankton Biologist
A chance to discover the role these incredible organisms play in our lives, from providing the oxygen we breathe to helping us track climate events and understand the migration of large sea animals. Trainees will be part of the first long-term, continuous plankton survey in the Maldives – and, to the best of the program’s knowledge, in any global UNESCO Biosphere Reserve – and help contribute to a model of plankton diversity and biomass that will hopefully expand into a national database.
Trainee Manta Biologist An insight into the secret lives of the gentle giants of the Maldives: manta rays. Trainees will spend time with these majestic animals and learn how the Manta Ray Biologists work to conserve and protect the local manta ray population. This module enables trainees to become a part of the team’s research journey, from photo identification to helping monitor size, behaviour and even pregnancy.
About Marine Savers at Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru

Embracing Maximalist Decor with Top Trends
/
While minimal décor has its own charm, maximalism has gradually found its way back to the interior design industry. It is an expression of the distinct personalities of homeowners through ornate interiors, rich fabrics, eccentric pieces, and much more.
But a wide range of styles and elements do not mean that your place has to look cluttered or busy. With some subtle styles and trends, you can embrace the age of maximalist interior design and make a statement.
Top Maximalist Design Trends to Follow
Let’s read in detail our favorite interior design styles that you can follow to give your house a perfect maximalist decor.
Use of Vibrant Colour
Hold back the conservative colour tones and go bold with a more diverse colour palette to embrace maximalism. Remember, pops of colours here and there may not give you the maximalist decor. So, go all out and stir things up with vibrant hues across the entire space.
Statement Marble Stone for a Statement Design
Marble stone is seeing a huge resurgence in popularity as it brings a luxurious consistency throughout the interior space. The timeless natural marble can dignify the aesthetics of any room and give it a visual appeal of a larger, classic space. The use of marble in marble tables and countertops, marble skirting, and other natural stone elements can give your home an opulent look and feel.
Pattern Play
Patterns bring energy to interior spaces and the options can be limitless if you’re looking in the right direction. From carpets and rugs to cushions and upholstered furniture, patterns add a striking personality to your interiors. And since the idea is to go over the top, you can always experiment with different patterns to create a more dynamic design with a dazzling effect.

Art for the Senses
Invest in art to create an outstanding maximalist interior design. Art plays a huge role in setting the tone of a space and helps you represent your personality in the best way possible. For example, a luxe marble frame for the living room wall or state-of-the-art sculptures can become the pieces of attraction in your maximal space. You can also create a gallery wall for different artworks and frames to amp up your home.
Creative Lighting
Lighting with complex and creative design plays excellently well with the maximalist decor. The more unique materials and adventurous design, the more stylish your space would turn out. Big overhead lighting, luxurious chandeliers, statement lamps, and fixtures – you can choose from different kinds of lighting for different areas. Just make sure to go big.
Mixing of Styles and Layers
Layered motifs and mixed styles do a great job of showing off your maximal interior design styles. Simple backdrops layered with contrasting patterns bring a unique character to the house and engage the guests. You can also layer modern décor pieces with the existing decor of a room; all you need to focus on is bringing in a few elements that immediately capture attention.
Accessories and Decorative Pieces
Maximalist décor is all about sparking joy and creating an interest in the space. So, if you’re a hoarder of books, trinkets, charms, and even quirky mugs, put them all on display. Show off your collectibles that represent your taste and passions. If you have a huge number of accessories or decorative pieces, you can create small groups and display them separately.
You can also go for wooden shelves or a fireplace feature for display. Just make sure that these additional elements do not affect the functionality of the space.
Wall Art and Wallpapers
Bold and bright wallpapers are the true essence of a maximal space. Unique wallpaper would not just add maximalism to your interior spaces but would also do so effortlessly.
And if you’re a fan of wall art or wall work, you can bring many patterns and styles together to create a striking show. Forget about matching the frames and size and whatnot; just create an amalgam of wall art styles that speak directly to you.
