Wardrobes have an important role in the field of Interior Design, not only for their functional purposes but also as a statement piece that contributes to enhancing the visual appeal of your space. Over the years, wardrobe design trends have witnessed a significant evolution, reflecting changes in lifestyle, technology, and design preferences. Let’s take a look at the most recent trends in wardrobe design, such as conventional closet systems or new modular installation systems.

1. Minimalist Elegance: Minimalism, characterized by clean lines, sleek finishes, and clutter-free spaces, continues to be a dominant trend in the design of the wardrobe. With the rise of minimalist lifestyles, wardrobes are now designed to maximize storage efficiency while maintaining a visually uncluttered appearance. Increasingly, homeowners looking for a minimal aesthetic are choosing built-in closet solutions that consist of concealing storage possibilities like slide doors and concealable compartments.

2. Customization and Personalization: When it comes to designing your clothes, one size doesn’t always fit all. With regard to their specific needs and preferences, homeowners increasingly opt for a personalized solution. In accordance with individual requirements, modular wardrobes offer the flexibility to adapt the layout, storage configuration, and accessories. In addition, customers will be able to see and customize their wardrobes before they make a purchase with the advent of Digital Design Tools that improve the overall customer experience.

3. Smart storage solution: The clothes are becoming more intelligent at this age of sophisticated technology. The way we organize and access our goods is changing with new storage solutions, such as the mobility racks, sensor-activated lighting, or automatic closet organization system. Smart wardrobes, which are a desirable choice for modern homes, not only maximize the use of space but also simplify the daily routine.

4. Integration of technology: In order to improve functionality and convenience, technology has been seamlessly incorporated into the current wardrobe design. Technology-driven features are adding a touch of luxury and sophistication to the wardrobes, from integrated charging stations and built-in speakers to automated inventory systems. Smart mirrors with built-in displays and virtual wardrobe apps further elevate the user experience, allowing for seamless outfit selection and styling.

By integrating smart storage solutions, sustainable materials, and configurable modular systems, Qubero is revolutionizing the way wardrobes are designed. We offer their clients a wide range of options by adapting to every different client’s needs combining functionality and visual appeal.

Finally, the evolution of wardrobe is influenced by a wider shift towards lifestyle, technology, and design style. Today’s wardrobes are a perfect fusion of functionality and style, from minimalist elegance to smart storage solutions, customization, sustainability and technology integration. In the coming years, as homeowners continue to focus on efficiency, aesthetics, and personalization, we can expect trends in the design of wardrobe to continue to evolve, pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation.

Year End Wrap and 2022 Expectations from Brands in India – Healthcare, Biotech, HR & Lifestyle

Dec 24, 2021 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #Biotech, #Brands in India -, #healthcare, #HR, #LIFESTYLE, #Neha Bagaria, #Rahul Dugar, #Rahul Kumar, #Surendra K Chikara., #Year End Wrap

Mr. Rahul Kumar, Co-Founder- Vital– An Insurtech Platform

Health insurance industry trend in 2021:

2021 has acted as a catalyst for the health insurance industry, adding new perspectives to the sector and increasing the demand amongst consumers. An increased fusion with technology has also led to the transformation of traditional health insurance services.

Responding to the growing demand from people, many private health insurance players have digitized their operations while a whole set of new-age insuretech players have also popped onto the scene. This has enabled the industry to reach a larger customer base and also drastically reduce the response and turnaround time for all the services-related processes, including claims.

There has been a greater focus on customer convenience, thanks to all the physical distancing norms and increased digital consumption on the part of the customers. We have also witnessed an increased awareness and ask for personalized benefits and services, creating the need for a product like ours which addresses every individual’s health and financial needs differently. The importance of tracking a user’s health, both from a business as well as a consumer point of view, has exponentially grown as well to help drive these value-added services.

Expectations from 2022

Health profiling and digitization have been two revolutionary changes in the insurance industry. Technological advancements are only going to propel this further in 2022. Insurance companies are using newer technology like data science, artificial intelligence to fast track their services and offer customized products for the consumer. Consumers are now aware of the ever-growing medical inflation and are on the lookout for affordable healthcare but have no desire to compromise quality or coverage.

Higher and comprehensive health coverage, both hospitalization and otherwise, is going to start taking the spotlight again – thanks to the advent of the new Omicron variant and a third wave apparently looming on the horizon. We are expecting the demand for health insurance to go up amongst both individuals and corporates. Insurance companies have already started focusing on smaller startups and SMEs to offer affordable group health covers, which has incidentally become a key part of the employee experience. Personalization and wellness are already starting to take a centre stage here as well.

On the consumer side, millennials and Gen Z are now aware of the reality of healthcare expenses which would further drive up the demand for health insurance. Add to that the fact that they are also aware of their personal healthcare needs, they will be on the lookout for personalized and holistic health covers like ours which keeps them prepared for both hospitalization and regular healthcare expenses.

2021 was a recovery period for working women.

Those who were forced to quit their jobs due to the pandemic took charge and made efforts to get back to the workforce by upskilling and keeping up-to-date with current technologies. JobsForHer recorded a three-fold increase in the number of job postings in 2021 from 2020.

Work from home roles has had a positive impact on the working women graph. JobsForHer recorded a more than 50% rise in the number of job postings for wfh roles. WFH also opened up vast opportunities for women from tier 2 and tier 3 cities to pursue their careers from their hometowns.

The IT industry really outshined this year and got serious about its diversity and inclusion goals. Almost 50% of the job postings on the JobsForHer platform were from the IT industry. And at the same time, women in tech users also went up by 21% in 2021.

With an aim to bring more women into tech, every month, 101 women receive 100% scholarships through the HerTech Academy, an initiative sponsored by JobsForHer Foundation.

According to a JobsForHer report, 48% of Indian companies formed special initiatives to bring women back into the workforce. Amazon AWS, Maersk, Airbus, Myntra, Google, GSK, Morgan Stanley, Thoughtworks Vapasi, TVS Motor are a few of the global companies that partnered with JobsForHer in 2021 with their returnee initiatives to encourage and accelerate women’s careers back on track with advanced tech jobs.

With work from home becoming a norm, we’re looking forward to more and more women from across the country updating their resumes and getting the opportunities to keep up with the changing trends in organisations.

The future outlook for D2C genetic tests and microbiome tests is certainly very bright. The human microbiome market is projected to reach USD 1,598 million by 2028 from USD 894 million in 2025, at a CAGR of 21.3% from 2025 to 2028. The world’s consumer genetic testing market was worth USD 70m in 2015 and is expected to rise to $340m (£261m) by 2022. It’s expanded beyond the ancestry sector and into beauty, health and fitness. In the Indian market, awareness is still quite minimal and this needs to be ramped up. But there is a lot of coverage now about the close connection between gut health and overall health and how DNA testing can help recognize the risk of chronic disease.

With the real estate sector returning to its normal state, the home décor and interior décor industry is also gaining a major push. As people buy new homes post the pandemic, they have a renewed interest in decorating their living spaces in a unique way and do not want to compromise on the quality.

According to a report published by researchandmarkets.com, The global market for online home decor is estimated at $98.4 billion in 2020 amid COVID-19 and is projected to a revised rise of $348.3 billion by 2027.

With offline offices resuming and many people relocating to a new city for work, demand for the home décor segment will further grow as people buy more homes. Also, hybrid work culture will continue to stay for some time which will again increase interest among people for home decors like lamps, wall art, artwork, lighting, furniture etc. To create a vibrant workspace for the employee’s many organizations are also investing in artefacts related to interior décor. It is expected that there will be a surge in demand from corporates as well as most of them are resuming offline operations from January or February in 2022.

Bengaluru: Bringing Christmas cheer to the end of the year, The Galleria Mall in Yelahanka, Bangalore, managed by Brookfield Properties, recently concluded its week-long extravaganza “Trinkets & Toys Fest” on Sunday, December 27th. Organized with the highest standards of safety and sanitation, the Joyful & Toyful Christmas celebration saw a multitude of the city’s urban youth, kids, and families coming together to shop, dine, and engage in a series of entertaining events and activities.

Twinkling with Christmas lights and decorations, the venue offered a larger-than-life Toyland experience right from the entrance. Adding to the spirit of the season and keeping the visitors engaged, The Galleria Mall also planned a series of international performances by clowns, toy soldiers, elves, reindeers, magicians, and Santa Clause himself! The charming Christmas Market became the hot spot for shoppers with its unique shop stands offering the best-in-town Christmas gifts & crafts.

Mr. AbhijitHanumante, GM – Global Kitchens commented, “The Galleria Mall has seen a steady rise in footfall since it opened in June. The continued rigor around communicating with the customers through various marketing campaigns has really helped in bringing them back to the mall where utmost precautions are in place to provide a safe shopping and dining experience. We are back to 55% business in the F&B category and with the Christmas campaign and festive season vibes, we are looking forward to the numbers getting even better soon. Our F&B outlets have taken all possible safety measures to serve food that is not only delicious but also safe for our prized customers.”

Held at the heart of North Bangalore in Yelahanka, the Christmas extravaganza had a lot in store for kids and families with joyous and thrilling on-ground activities. The lively spirit of Christmas began right at the mall entrance, where kids and families were welcomed by ‘The majestic Nutcrackers’ (According to German folklore, nutcrackers were given as keepsakes to bring luck to the family and protect the home. It is said that they represent strength and power and watches over the family keeping evil spirits and danger away). At the centre was a giant Christmas tree followed by Santa’s Workshop that became the key spot to take pictures. A special Santa Parade on 25th December and Toy Soldier’s Parade on 26th December saw performers from different parts of UAE & Europe. Santa Clause, along with his elves and reindeer, distributed gifts to little munchkins around the mall. Ensuring social distancing, Santa with his tribe also performed melodious Christmas Songs. Delighted kids struck a pose with Santa, his elves, and reindeer. At the Toy Soldier’s Parade, inspired by the famous Macy’s Parade and Disneyland Parades, the members posed with kids and distributed gifts and candies to them.

Speaking at the event Ms. Monalisa Panda, Mommy Blogger said, “Shopping was one of the most missed out activities since the advent of coronavirus in our lives. It’s almost been ten months post which I have stepped out for shopping. While I was craving for some retail therapy, I landed up at the Trinkets and Toys Fest that made me a kid again! A day full of shopping and indulging in some delish desserts with safety protocols in place, my Christmas turned out extremely special. Thanks to The Galleria Mall for organizing such a beautiful event.”

Commenting on the response, LIFESTYLE said, “I would say it is a happy ending to 2020 as we have recovered nearly half of our footfalls and two-thirds of our business at the Lifestyle Store in The Galleria Mall. The marketing activities undertaken by the mall have truly helped bring visitors back to our store while igniting excitement among customers and offering them a safe and seamless shopping experience.  Safety has always been the priority both for the mall and for us, in-store. We will continue to keep the safety of our customers at the fore and look forward to more footfalls in this new year.”

The event concluded on 27th December with a magic show with world-renowned magician James which became the spotlight stealer. Welcoming scores of visitors in just 7 days, the event left Bangaloreans with high spirits and warm hearts!
