New Year, Who’s This?

From reflecting on the trials, tribulations, and indeed, triumphs of 2023; to gracefully
walking into a new year of resolutions, we find ourselves embracing what life has to Ram Sachdev
offer, with renewed hope for the outcome of the coming days. This is a sentiment Chairman
shared in our Cover Story (page 52), as Nikorn Sachdev leads the charge in enriching Raghav Sachdev
Thailand, and accelerating the nation’s growth through the invaluable contribution of Publisher
the Thai-Indian community. Aiden Jewelle Gonzales
Associate Editor
But getting down to business can also mean fun, as we find out from Tim Boda, Mahmood Hossain
the Managing Director of Topgolf Thailand (page 68). The entrepreneurial spirit Senior Writer
also comes in a stylish form, just like our It Girl, Simran Ratta (page 72). And when Ayush Madan
commerce meets relaxation, there are destinations such as Dusit Thani Hua Hin (page Junior Writer
80), converting Indian wedding dreams into reality.

Keeping in line with traditions, we indulge in a hidden gem of Indian cuisine at EKKA Jasnam Sachathep
Ruby Sirinarang
Grill & Bar (page 78), as well as a newly-opened tapas rooftop haunt, LUZ Bangkok Nina Phichitsingh
Tapas Bar (page 76). However, while the Indian culture is alive and thriving in Contributors
Thailand, some community members reveal why they’ve never been to the Motherland, Raksha Sachdev
including their expectations for what they’ll encounter when they visit the land of their Megha Jogani
ancestors (page 64). But by no means do we discount the importance of our history Business Development Managers
and roots, and we ask superagers in the community their golden insights, cherished Jan Lorenz
memories, and their take on how technology and society has changed over the years Art Director

This and much more in the latest edition of Masala: a little business, plenty of Watchara Teeracharuwan
enjoyment, and a judicious amount of hope for the year to come. Happy reading, and a Graphic Designer
