ILLUME
India’s Forum on the Business of Luxury.
The annual luxury intelligence conference by Luxury Tribe
ILLUME is India’s Forum on the Business of Luxury — the annual intelligence conference by Luxury Tribe that examines how wealth, culture, and consumer psychology are reshaping global luxury through India’s influence.
More than a conference, ILLUME is a forum of authority — where hoteliers, economists, brand strategists, and cultural thinkers decode the evolving language of luxury: from ownership to experience, from display to discernment, from aspiration to identity.
It is the meeting point of data and dialogue, commerce and culture, India and the world — offering the clarity and confidence needed to navigate the world’s fastest-growing luxury economy.

THEMATIC PILLARS
The Five Lenses of ILLUME.
The ILLUME framework combines data, design, and discourse to reveal what defines tomorrow’s luxury
- Behaviour & Psychology
Understanding the motives, mindset, and meaning behind India’s luxury consumption — from emerging wealth to generational identity. - Culture & Identity
Exploring how heritage, media, and modern aspiration shape taste, narrative, and the global perception of Indian luxury. - Celebration & Community
Deconstructing the $125B celebration economy — where emotion, ritual, and social capital intersect to create the world’s largest luxury category. - Business & Markets
Analysing data, policy, and performance across luxury sectors to identify where opportunity, influence, and growth will emerge next. - Purpose & Progress
Interpreting the rise of mindful affluence — where sustainability, wellness, and legacy reshape how luxury is valued and expressed.
A Forum That Thinks Like a Journal.
Every edition of ILLUME is designed as an editorial experience — curated with the depth of a journal and the clarity of an intelligence briefing.
It moves beyond panels and presentations to provoke real conversations that analyse the forces shaping India’s luxury economy and cultural influence.
Across each session, we:
- Engage leaders, economists, and creators in data-led dialogues grounded in foresight
- Translate market intelligence into stories that reveal the psychology of luxury.
- Ask provocative questions that challenge assumptions and spark rethinking.
ILLUME doesn’t chase trends — it interprets the movements that define them.

Theme: The New Code of Desire
ILLUME 2026 explores how India’s evolving economy, creativity, and cultural confidence are reshaping the global business of luxury — from technology to tradition, from craft to code.
