Ashit Kukian, President Revenue, Times Network, said, “Luxury industry in India is a fast-growing industry with an average growth rate of 15 per cent to 20 per cent. Being the strongest in the English language space, reaching to 67 per cent of the English-speaking audience, Times Network attracts the leisured and privileged class of the HNIs. This makes the network and the show, 'Luxury Time' the best platform for the luxury industry to connect with its target audience and offer viewers unique experiences within the world of luxury. Additionally, the group lends brand 'Luxury Time' the rich history of being India's largest and oldest media house, while leading in multiple segments.”

Keeping this in mind, the timing for launching the show now was most appropriate to reach millennial who are ready for exclusive experiences.
