"Luxury means different things to different people, and as a luxury event manager, one needs to adjust one's approach and perspective while working on different projects. My experiences in this industry have led me to the belief that truly luxury is in the finer details. Luxury is not about being over the top or ostentatious. To the contrary, for me, luxury is a state of mind achieved by embracing the belief that less is more," said Khushi Singh.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted almost every business across sectors, the experiential sector arguably remains the hardest hit. The pandemic has not only affected the live events industry but has also hit the brands reliant on experiential marketing. However, with new emerging technologies, the industry has received a new lease of life in the form of online platforms. In the past few months during the lockdown, the industry has ramped up its digital presence considerably and has pushed the envelope with innovative formats. The new normal has resulted in a shift for the experiential sector that is now increasingly curating hybrid experiences for consumers. The challenge though remains for brands who rely heavily on experiential marketing to build emotional and sensory intimacy with consumers. Across the board therefore, brands and industry leaders are seeking new ways to stay connected with consumers through mixed reality experiences. Sunburn, one of the most popular music events was pulled off virtually at Vagator in Goa last year. The concert which was previously attended by 300,000 fans took place with only 20% of the venue capacity in 2020. Percept Live which organises Sunburn every year, also launched various innovative music IPs including ‘Sunburn @Home’, ‘Bollyboom @Home’, ‘Sunburn Home Festival’, ‘Sunburn Select’ and ‘Sunburn Campus’. “While Percept did incur a tangible loss of business in our on ground MICE, activations, experiential and live music events domains, we also sensed a massive opportunity to scale up and offer events in the digital space,” states Karan Singh, COO, Percept Live while adding that the company’s live stream variants received an overwhelming response from both the fans and sponsors. “We also launched Percept digitICE – a full-service digital, virtual and hybrid experiential marketing and events unit, which has already done hundreds of virtual engagements and digital events, mixed reality and hybrid events for many clients since the lockdown with great feedback and reviews,” he adds.
