The G20 Summit in New Delhi wasn’t just about policies or trade deals; it was a celebration of culture, history, and connection. From the vibrant displays of India’s heritage to the conversations that celebrated the cultural exchange between nations, the summit reminded us of one powerful truth: India has always been more than a country—it’s been a bridge.
This was amplified with the announcement of the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), a vision that feels less like infrastructure and more like destiny. IMEC is more than a modern trade route—it’s a wake-up call for historians, dreamers, and creators to reimagine the ancient Silk Road and the Spice Route.
India was at the heart of these routes. It wasn’t just the spices that transformed global cuisine or the silk that adorned European royalty—it was the ideas, rituals, and practices that traveled with them. Ayurveda’s holistic wisdom found its way to ancient healers. The perfumes of Kannauj inspired distant perfumers. Even the textiles of Banaras influenced patterns in Persian carpets. For centuries, India didn’t just export products; it exported culture.
The G20 Summit, IMEC, and the rekindled conversations around the Silk and Spice Routes have made one thing clear: the world is ready for India to lead the dialogue on heritage, sustainability, and cross-cultural exchange.
The birth of Queen’s Vanity India is our call to action: to bring history back to life, one thread, one scent, one tradition at a time. Because the Silk Road may have been ancient, but its spirit is eternal. And India, once again, stands at its center.
