Editor’s Note »
Welcome to the launch edition of Vibe—your front-row seat to a world in motion.
In this premiere issue, we’re setting the tone for what Vibe stands for: sharp insights, bold stories, and the perfect blend of culture and technology. We dive headfirst into a world where boundaries blur—between man and machine, art and identity, trends and revolutions. The Download leads the charge with an insightful cover story that redefines leadership in the age of AI—not as command-and-control, but as co-creation with intelligent machines. From robots and smart glasses to DoorDash’s financial transformation through AI, this section sets the tempo for a future that’s already here.
But Vibe isn’t just about tech. In Hello People, we tune into voices and movements that are shaping identity and creativity today—from the surging love for anime in India to the evocative journey of artist Afza Tamkanat, whose art and journey are testaments to resilience and creativity.
In Global Cool, you’ll meet ten Indian couple travel bloggers turning Instagram grids into storytelling gold, explore tech trends that are more revolution than buzz, and catch stand-up artiste Sunthar V cracking open the comedy scene with fresh, fearless flair.
Reality Check brings it all back to the ground—into our kitchens and gyms. From the revival of traditional Indian cooking to Naveena Muhilan’s transformative fitness journey, these stories celebrate roots, reinvention, and real-life resilience.
And in Vibe Check, we celebrate stories that bring our community to life—books to get lost in, tech quizzes to test your edge, behind-the-scenes moments, and inspiring wins that deserve the spotlight.
This is just the beginning. Vibe is more than a magazine—it’s a mindset. Curious, bold, and always plugged into what’s next. Thanks for joining us at the start of this journey. Let’s make it unforgettable.
