Twenty-five And Thriving: Inside Outlook Traveller's 25th Anniversary Celebration

Twenty-five years of travel writing deserve more than a toast; they deserve a room full of people who've shaped the way India travels, eats, drinks, and tells stories. That's exactly what Outlook Traveller brought together at Addoni's in Green Park, New Delhi, where the magazine celebrated its 25th anniversary with an evening of lively conversations, expertly crafted cocktails, great food, and even better company.

The occasion also marked the unveiling of #OTPours, Outlook Traveller's newest editorial platform dedicated to exploring the fascinating world of beverages in all their forms.

An Evening Full Of Stories

The evening brought together friends of the magazine, industry leaders, storytellers, and tastemakers for a celebration that felt both intimate and meaningful. Rather than looking back at the past 25 years, the gathering focused on what has always been at the heart of Outlook Traveller: curiosity, connection, and the stories that emerge when people come together.

The guest list reflected the many worlds the magazine has celebrated over the years. Celebrated filmmaker, artist, and cultural icon Muzaffar Ali lent his unmistakable grace to the evening, while other guests like Romil Pant, executive vice president and business head–leisure, Thomas Cook, Rushina Munshaw Ghildiyal, culinary chronicler and consultant, and Vaibhav Kala, founder, Aquaterra Adventures and Atali Ganga, added their perspectives to conversations that progressed effortlessly across travel, food and culture.

A Toast To Good Taste

No celebration is complete without memorable food and drinks, and Hospitality Partner Addoni's was the perfect host. Inspired by the global culinary journeys of Riccardo Addoni, the Green Park restaurant served an eclectic selection of small plates that encouraged guests to linger over conversations and discover new flavours. 

Enhancing the experience was Celebration Partner Monika Alcobev, one of India's leading importers, distributors, and marketers of premium alcoholic beverages. With an impressive portfolio of over 100 internationally renowned brands, the company curated a beverage experience that paired beautifully with the evening's relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere.

Raising A Glass To #OTPours

The highlight of the evening was the launch of #OTPours, Outlook Traveller's newest editorial platform that expands the magazine's storytelling into the ever-evolving world of beverages.

Much like travel, beverages tell stories of geography, culture, history, and identity, making them a natural extension of the magazine’s editorial vision. From artisanal teas, speciality coffees, kombuchas, wines, craft spirits, cocktails, and indigenous brews to emerging beverage trends, #OTPours explores the people, places, traditions, and craftsmanship behind every glass and every cup. 

As the evening drew to a close, the celebrations felt like the beginning of another journey. For 25 years, Outlook Traveller has inspired readers to see the world through fresh eyes, uncover hidden stories, and embrace meaningful experiences.
