In a refined confluence of design, discernment, and deep luxury knowledge, ELITE Xclusive partnered with Essentia Homes to host an intimate and high-impact luxury masterclass in New Delhi, curated for a select circle of India’s most influential tastemakers.

The masterclass was led by Puraskar Thadani, Founder of ELITE Xclusive and Editor of ELITE Magazine India, whose name has become synonymous with decoding the world of ultra-luxury—particularly Hermès, high jewellery, and legacy assets. Known for advising celebrities, industrialists, and prominent families, Puraskar delivered a compelling, insider-led session that went far beyond surface-level luxury, offering guests rare insights into craftsmanship, value retention, and the psychology behind true collectibles.

The evening witnessed the presence of several distinguished guests, most notably Ashneer Grover—entrepreneur and judge on Shark Tank India—who attended the masterclass alongside his wife Madhuri Grover. Their presence added to the gravitas of the evening, underscoring the growing interest among India’s business elite in understanding luxury not merely as indulgence, but as culture, capital, and legacy.

In addition to high-profile names, the masterclass drew members from some of the most prominent families of South Delhi—individuals for whom luxury is not performative, but deeply personal and generational. The conversations were nuanced, informed, and reflective of a mature audience keen on learning how craftsmanship, provenance, and discretion define real wealth.

Set against the sophisticated backdrop associated with Essentia Homes’ design ethos, the event mirrored the values shared by both brands—timeless elegance, attention to detail, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. The collaboration marked a natural synergy between ultra-luxury living spaces and curated luxury knowledge.
The evening concluded with thoughtful dialogue, private interactions, and an unmistakable sense that this was not just another event—but the beginning of a series of invitation-only, high-intellect luxury experiences that ELITE Xclusive aims to curate across India and globally.
As luxury in India evolves from acquisition to understanding, evenings like these reaffirm one truth: true luxury is knowing why something matters.
