It has been a very busy and productive quarter across HT Media, focused on innovation and growth in all our businesses.

As you know, the digital transformation of our news operations is a major focus of attention at present, with activities related to Project Butterfly moving along at a rapid clip. The first floor newsroom in Delhi has been stripped back to its bare bones, and a new space for Hindustan Times, Hindustan, and Mint is emerging from the rubble.

Over 150 kilometers of high-speed cabling have been laid, furniture has been built to our specifications, and every square inch of space has been given a fresh purpose. Crucially, a new way of working based on speed, communication, and shared data has been captured in a design that will make ours the most creative and dynamic editorial environment in the region.

While the physical space is being built, the Eidos Méthode publishing platform, which will integrate our print and digital teams, and underpin much stronger web and mobile offerings is also been under construction. It will reside in a much improved data centre, on state of the art private cloud infrastructure, and our teams will access it from across the country over a faster network than we have ever had. These platforms are almost ready for prime time, and will begin to go-live during July.

This is a major investment for us, and we are looking to all of you to ensure that we are able fully to reap its benefits through richer digital and print journalism, more compelling advertising offerings, and greater operational efficiency.

As you know, however, digital news is not just a matter of better workflows, servers, and networks. The real revolution is underway at the core of the way we conceive of the relationship between content and technology. Some of the most compelling work

in this space is being done by start-ups outside traditional newsrooms. We want to be part of that process, which is why we have joined the US-based investment fund North Base Media in launching MediaHack, an accelerator for early-stage news technology companies, that will give us a stake in the growth and development of dramatically new approaches to our fast-changing business.

Our partners in this venture, Marcus Brauchli and Shasha Vucinic, have decades of experience at the cutting edge of global media, both in editorial and business roles, and we believe that working with them we will be able to take news innovation in India to a new level.

Elsewhere in the group our focus on new technologies and markets is beginning to bear fruit. Digital Quotient, our mobile solutions agency, has extraordinary capabilities in data and apps. It has now turned profitable, with some large campaigns in India and internationally this year.

Of course not all innovation involves technology.As you will read in this issue of Between Us,

Fever has been innovating in both content formats and advertising, consolidating its strength on the back of a vibrant offering for listeners, and great solutions for our clients.

Similarly, in Studymate, a new daytime English learning product, English Mate, is

set for launch. That will further accelerate that rapid growth this business

is experiencing, with 11 new centres, and a doubling in its top-line over the past year.

Friends, it is an exciting time for HT Media, as we embrace the changes that are sweeping our industry, and strive to alloy our traditional strengths with new capabilities and approaches. I hope you will join me in bringing

all of your energy and commitment to this vital work.

CEO’S message

Gear up for transformationFresh winds are blowing across HT Media. CEO Rajiv Verma brings us up to date on the initiatives that are powering change in all of our businesses.

Fever presents entertainment like no other radio station does, playing out the most

innovative and engaging content

Fever 104 FM is one of the leading FM stations in the country and attracts more than 17 million listeners across

four Indian metros – Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Kolkata. It is a young and aspirational radio station with a vibrant, youthful, creative and interactive programming, that just lets the music play!

Fever is also the most preferred amongst 20-34 years SEC AB audience – Fever’s core target audience.

No wonder, Fever has been the No. 1 radio station in Delhi for over three years, No. 1 in the non-Kannada space in Bengaluru for over two years, No. 2 and ahead of Radio Mirchi in Mumbai, and the fastest growing station of Kolkata.

Fever has six brand pegs – music, Bollywood, sports, local connect, innovation and CSR – which form the bedrock of the overarching plank of ‘Entertainment’ that is manifested in the content and marketing across metros.

Fever Continues its Domination of Music and Bollywood!Fever believes that the real reason a listener tunes in to radio is for music. With this key consumer insight, Fever has offered innovations such as 40 minutes of non-stop music, ‘Fever Ka Kabzaa’, ‘Fever Super Fresh’, 104 seconds music trailers, on-air music concerts, ‘Fever Guzzler’ and ‘Fever Unplugged’ series with legends and stars of the music industry. Fever, through these pioneering initiatives, has established best practices in the industry and some of these innovations have been imitated by competing players.

Fever dominates Bollywood like no other radio station does. In 2014 alone Fever was the radio partner with 52 movies and 107 song exclusives. The Fever studios are an essential destination for promoting blockbuster movies, and music’s biggest stars frequent Fever for various shows. The videos are available on Fever’s YouTube channel.

Fever commands 90% share of Bollywood movies on radio. For the cash registers to start ringing for a movie at the box office, Fever through innovative content and initiatives, provides a far reaching platform and fashions desirability for the movie and its music. That’s why the biggest Bollywood stars have great affinity with Fever, which dominates Bollywood like no other radio station does.

Fever Voice of Change (FVOC) – Radio’s Biggest CSRRealising the responsibility of being a broadcaster and thought leader, Fever consistently sensitises the listeners and aims to bring a positive change in the society. Harnessing power of the medium, Fever launched ‘Fever Voice of Change’, a campaign that urged listeners to not just wish to see a change they want in society, but also be a part of this change. FVOC believes in bringing about ‘demonstrable’ change, with the belief that ‘You’ and ‘I’ are enough to bring a change in society, and aptly emphasises ‘Ab Bakwaas Band, Badlaav Shuru’.

John Abraham, the ultimate youth icon, has been the face of the campaign. Aamir Khan, Varun Dhawan and Yuvraj Singh have also joined hands for various initiatives of FVOC.

Listeners across cities were asked to name the changes they wanted to see in society. Women’s safety emerged as the strongest concern.

Fever 104 FM on the occasion of International Women’s Day 2014 launched the ‘Men

a g a i n s t A b u s e ’ campaign, which saw men taking a pledge to not use foul language when interacting with women. The campaign lived up to the line ‘Dil-o-dimaag se pehle zubaan se izzat dena shuru karein’.

The second initiative was ‘Mission Tezaab’, aimed at rehabilitating acid attack survivors. Fortis Healthcare joined hands as healthcare partner and helped many survivors get a new lease of life. The first survivor who Fever helped was Tarana from Agra, who was attacked by her neighbour to whom she denied marriage.

The third initiative was ‘Mission Jurrat’ that aimed at empowering women to handle harassment in all spheres of life. FVOC tied up with police authorities across the four metros to promote women’s helpline services.

2014-15, FVOC is undertaking s ix initiatives in 2015-16.

The biggest CSR drive in the history of radio, FVOC has witnessed a lot of enthusiasm. People who thought they did not have a voice were given a platform to become the harbingers of change.

This is simply the beginning, since Fever believes that ‘asli badlaav abhi baaki hai’!

Fever Powers the Sports Revolution in India!Fever has always been synonymous with sports, be it cricket, football, kabbadi, or F1 races. In India, cricket is not just a game; it is a religion. And who better to worship it with

than Fever? Fans and Fever joined hands to make sure that not one ounce of entertainment gets left behind from the stands up to the pavilion, be it the World Cup or IPL.

With the Cricket World Cup 2015, Fever launched the biggest campaign on radio – ‘One Day Mataram’. It was a blitzkrieg across the World Cup with Sachin Tendulkar exclusively coming on Fever for days, people’s ‘One Day Mataram’ anthem getting created and launched on a grand scale, and Sudhir, Sachin’s craziest cricket fan who paints his body in the colours of the national flag and Sachin’s name, appealing Indian fans to

show their craziness as part of Fever’s ‘Craziest Cricket Fan’ contest. Six winners across the four metros got a chance to watch the India-Australia semi-final live in Sydney on March 26.

Fever has been the official radio partner of four of the biggest IPL teams – DD, MI, RCB and KKR. Fever plans an on-air, on-ground and digital cricket festival to

bring the cricket heroes closer to their listeners. Fever RJs play music in IPL stadiums and listeners are given experiences that money just can’t buy.

With such initiatives, Fever has made great strides in its continued endeavour to bring sports closer to its listeners.

Revenue Drive Through Path Breaking Client SolutionsFever has been providing path breaking solutions to clients through integrations and customised solutions. Creativity takes the front seat when it comes to finding proactive solutions with Fever. Clients have rewarded Fever with great reviews and repeat business.

Select listeners won an opportunity to hang out with RJ Nitin over chilled Nescafe cold coffee and had a great time at the Fever lounge.

Bacardi launched Indimix, the ‘desi’ variant of Breezer, exclusively on radio with Fever. Fever created a series of humorous rap jingles where the two new flavours ‘Aam Panna’ and ‘Nimbu Paani’ rapped about topical things that we witness in our daily lives.

Music was not the only genre that Fever provided as a client solution. Fever branded its entire stationality to celebrate the launch of Samsung Note Four. As an innovation, Fever called itself ‘Fever One Note Four’ during the campaign. What’s more, for three days Fever aggressively covered blogathons and Samsung Red Carpet events with celebrities, giving further scale to the mega launch.

‘Cruise with Fever’ was another huge initiative to give listeners an experience beyond expectations. Listeners had to participate in a simple on-air contest, and the lucky winners won an all-expenses-paid trip to Malaysia.

The ‘Flat Giveaway’ initiative gave Fever listeners an opportunity to win their dream home during Navratras at no hidden cost. The activity generated more than 50,000 SMSs and was one of the biggest listener engagements on radio.

Driving Thought Leadership through Innovative ProgrammingFever is known for pioneering the concept of radio drama in the industry and has repackaged great epics like

Ramayana (available on iTunes also), Gandhi, Bose and Bal Gopal for today’s youth. Fever offered the industry’s first ever sitcom radio series called ‘Friends in a Metro’, followed by the first ever horror radio drama ‘Kya Woh Sach Tha’. The recently launched radio dramas include the crime-based ‘Case 104’ and ‘Ishq Wala Love’ with romance as its theme.

The 2015 Delhi assembly elections had ‘Each One Kheench One’, the third consecutive award winning campaign for the Election Commission of India, urging each listener to convince at least one other person to vote.

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi embraced radio to express his ‘Mann Ki Baat’, Fever took his message to their listeners. The special joint address by PM Modi and US President Barack Obama on January 27 marked the first time the two global leaders addressed the nation together.

Fever’s analysis revealed that the weekend listenership on radio

is no less than the weekday listenership. To leverage this, Fever launched a mega campaign urging listeners to convert their boring weekends to ‘Fever Freakends’. Fever strengthened the existing strong show line up by launching multiple new shows over the weekend.

The on-air shows that are offered across all four metros are a testament to the versatility of Fever’s engaging programming, and certainly some or the other Fever show or RJ must have you hooked as well!

The entertainment has just begun…With engaging and innovative content, Fever continues to rule the hearts of listeners across

the country. Despite being one of the newest players in the industry, Fever is

today recognised as one of the most vibrant, youthful, creative and interactive entertainment destination.

Fever has and continues to set benchmarks in the radio and entertainment industry and stands for Innovation.

‘I believe that nothing is impossible’PiYUSH GUPTA, Group CFO, says we need new blood from top organisations for a work culture akin to the Fortune 500 companies’ league

How do you connect with your teams to create a win-win for all?I believe in interacting with my teams on a regular, real-time basis and fol-low the open door policy. This helps me organise and plan in a way that creates a win-win for all.

Please share one of the most challeng-ing moments in your work life.At the time I had joined the organisa-tion it was in transitioning mode. It was a challenging time as everything needed to be changed and new ground rules had to be set. Nevertheless it was a success and I take pride in be-ing a part of the core team to do so.

What is the idea of a perfect working day for you?I like to start early and be done with all my routine meetings so that I can have the remaining time to plan new strate-gies and goals for the organisation.

What do you think needs to be changed at the organisation?Rather than using the word change, I would use the word ‘addition’. We need new blood in our organisation from top companies so that we can get new ideas and ways of working in or-der to get to a work culture that would surely and steadily lead us to the For-tune 500 companies’ league. Just like

How different is working in a media house from an MnC?At a certain level working for a media house is very different from working in an MNC as both are very different businesses i.e. local vs international linkages.

However, on another level it is ex-actly the same as the basics of the businesses do not change in any “for profit” enterprise. It is always about

the growth, profitability, products and people.

What do you love about Ht as an organization?What I love about HT is the fact that even though we are an organisation which is dec-ades old, we are still open to changes and new ideas. The biggest example being, ‘Project Butterfly’. Once the project is

completed, we would be looking at a world class media house with

the latest technology that could be compared to any other in the world!

the famous Jack Welch (ex president) of GE said and made the mantra of his company – ‘Copy Shamelessly’ in case of value addition.

In your opinion what are the qualities of a good leader nowadays?A leader should have a good grass root understanding of his trade/busi-ness. He should be one with the team and should be able to instill confi-dence in his people to be known as the go-to person. The flow of information is important to be on top of things.

What keeps you inspired every day?The desire and will to achieve more as I believe that nothing is impossible. Even the word says – I M POSSIBLE.

Do you think you have realized your po-tential as a leader? The day I will achieve my potential as a leader I would become dormant and stagnant. I believe in learning all the time from the situations and people I deal with on a day to day basis and keep improvising on my own skills.

Tell us about one leader from any field you admire and why?Warren Buffett

What keeps you ticking apart from your work?My family, they are my anchors in life.

Who is the one person/gadget you rely on the most and why?My better half, my wife, who is my close confidante and my life support, and of course my phone as I can be connected to work and family at the same time.

A picture perfect moment

What is your favorite season of the year?WintersWhat makes your day?A job well done!What quality in people upsets you?I don’t like hypocrites and people who are not open to new ideasIf you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?I need to start eating healthy

What is more important: destiny or hard work?I believe that destiny favors the one who is prepared and to be prepared you need to work hardDo you like to read or watch movies?I like to watch movies as that is one activity that I do with my familyWho do you go to for advice?My motherWhat makes you proud?

Achievements by my team and my childrenWhat music do you like in your car when you are on the move?All kinds of musicWhat was the last thing you bought for yourself?Sonos wifi home theatre system

Rapid fiRe

Do you look forward to weekends or weekdays?Weekends, as that is the time I get to spend with my family, especially my two beautiful children. I am of the be-lief that instead of just spending money, we need to give time to our children, so that they develop an emotionally strong base and values which will make them sail through any and every situation in life. I try to share in the joys and cel-ebrations of my family and friends.

The first expansion of Studymate in 2014 was successful in its objectives. To celebrate and

reflect on its future path, the Studymate team got together on February 27-28 at their annual meet. Day 1 focused on business imperatives and expansion plans as well as the AOP roll out, while Day 2 focused on personality building and introduction to the five core values of Studymate.

The theme of the meet was ‘To double the student base by helping each to score more’ and it set the goal for the next year. The time was crucial for the team, as the business was moving from 12 centers to 23 centers across Delhi/NCR. The strategy meet was attended by senior leaders from all departments.

Day 1 started with an address by Saurabh Gupta, Business Head, who spoke about the ’Paradox of Success’ and the need to keep reinventing the business, to retain the flavour of a start-up and yet set the base for a large organisation. The Academic Year 2015-16 is a milestone year for the business. Apart from the scale-up, the team was

introduced to the new products planned for launch. CFO Anand Agarwal briefed the team on new launches and rolled out the AOP for 2015, including the ambitious launch of Englishmate, the English language program.

The field of education is wit-nessing a big change with the introduction of technology. Studymate is equally keen to leverage these opportunities and blend the traditional face-to-face teaching method with innovative use of technology. A session delivered by Microsoft set the context for deploy-ing latest technology trends and ini-tiatives in the field of education. Arin-dam Lahiri, Chief Academic Officer conducted an exercise on situational leadership to align the team to the larger goals of the organisation.

The day ended with the much awaited and exciting Studymate Star Awards. With the aim to celebrate and appreciate the efforts of top per-

formers in the Studymate family, the ceremony recog-nised some of the best talent across teams.

The highlight of the event was the presence of Rajiv

Verma, CEO, HT Media Ltd., several LT members such as Piyush Gupta, Dinesh Mittal, Harshad Jain, Neelkant Saxena, Rajan Bhalla, Pankaj Seith etc., and other corporate members such as Deepa Nailwal and Farhat Usmani.

The beautifully decorated venue was in sync with the theme for the night – Bollywood. The entrance, with a red carpet in place, was decorated with Bollywood posters. The guests arrived dressed as actors. A photo booth at the entrance became the most

HT Media Ltd. has launched a startup accelerator program that will build, support and

sustain innovative business ideas to launch a new generation of digital media companies.

The platform named MediaHack.in will function as an incubator for game-changing entrepreneurial ideas in the digital media and media tech domains.

Launched in partnership with US-based investment firm North Base Media, the program will invest up to

Introducing MediaHack.inMeet the new addition to the HT Media group aimed at encouraging media entrepreneurship in India

$100,000 each in exciting new business ideas and prototypes.

Rajiv Verma, CEO, HT Media Ltd. says, “Technology is beginning to change the way media is consumed. People are bubbling with ideas in this space. MediaHack will give wings to those ideas.”

to convert an idea into a viable business. Work spaces and related infrastructure may also be provided. Technology-led businesses that impact media are good candidates for investment; these could include video, advertising, social media and avenues of content delivery we may not have thought of.

Mobile and social platforms are transforming the way billions of people consume news around the world. Nowhere is this more evident than in India where more than 500 million people will have access to the internet, many for the first time, in the next few years. MediaHack will identify and support entrepreneurs who want to build leading-edge content and advertising technology related businesses in India.

MediaHack is inviting applications from entrepreneurs who wish to participate in the accelerator. Successful applicants will spend several months on the program, interacting with each other and leading media and technology thinkers from around the world. They also will receive an initial investment of up to $100,000 to convert their ideas into fast-growing and world-changing businesses.

Rajiv hints at the possibility of a dedicated corpus of funds, but says it is too early to zero in on a number, and based on the kind of progress the initial ideas make, the corpus could always grow. “Capital is not a constraint at the platform; it is the p

ideas that will determine what kind of capital they will attract,” he says.

Responding to a question on how the Indian media startup ecosystem looks, Rajiv said, “I believe we should try to do things where we have the right to win. We understand the media industry very well and we have assets and resources in the industry that can be brought to make an idea a success. Earlier, all professionals would stick to jobs as the only career opportunity. However, given what has happened in Silicon Valley and other parts of the world, entrepreneurship is becoming an important career option.”

He added, “Forces of technology are today making it possible for ideas to become financially feasible and viable for people to become entrepreneurs. Given the fact that

India is a young country and there is a lot of youth power, it is an added advantage. All this adds to the media startup ecosystem. I think the time has come for an accelerator like this, and the ecosystem will only develop and become larger and larger.”

North Base Media is a relatively young and specialised investment and advisory company. Focusing primarily on media and media-related technologies, NBM has its presence in growth markets with a possibility of real and significant

growth in media technology, which in turn enables the media to connect better with audience and advertisers. Managing Partner Marcus W. Brauchli says investments have so far been broadly under two categories – media, and technology companies that enable media.

Between HT Media and North Base Media there is more experience that anybody else who is doing something similar. Everything at HT Media, ranging from content to assets and capabilities will be made available to entrepreneurs as long as it does not interfere with the core business. NBM too has a network of people who can share their years of experience at different media companies with entrepreneurs on building businesses in other markets. This makes it a win-win situation for all.

clear answer to that,” he said, adding that although newspapers are far from dead in Asian markets such as Singapore, Korea and Japan, no one knows how long the market will stay that way. “We should assume that technology will disrupt things in India. Our best strategy is to prepare

for the worst and hope for the best. We should embrace

technology rather than fight it,” he said. Newspapers might have an uncertain future but the news business itself

will never die.Rajiv also talked about

how the digital space has lowered barriers of entry to new

markets. “Earlier, the way to enter new markets was to play in them for 10 years, challenge the incumbents, hope to change people’s newspaper reading habits and then hope to make money. But thanks to digital, those barriers are really low. On the flipside,

we are now competing on a global stage with ‘glocal’ players –

competition that is global in resources

but local in context.”

Cover Story

The buzz around Project Butterfly has been steadily growing louder in HT

newsrooms across the country for the last few months, but on May 4, CEO Rajiv Verma formally gave it flight. In a town hall meeting at New Delhi, the CEO and editors of HT’s flagship properties – Sanjoy Narayan of Hindustan Times, Shashi Shekhar of Hindustan, and Sukumar Ranganathan of Mint – explained the contours of Project Butterfly and what the transition to being a digital-first news business means for the future of the company. The panel, moderated by Nic Dawes, HT’s Chief Editorial & Content Officer, fielded questions from HT staff.

The town hall was attended by over 200 people from the Delhi/NCR offices, and live streamed in HT offices across the country, with an estimated 3,500 people – more than half of our workforce – watching it.

Rajiv kicked off the event by putting forward a question he is asked constantly: “What is the future of newspapers in India going to be?”

international brands such as the Huffington Post, BuzzFeed and Quartz, which have all started Indian editions in the last two years. “I do feel like this battle can be won,” he said, “because we understand the Indian audience. We have a trusted brand.”

One of the biggest changes that Project Butterfly will bring about is a new integrated newsroom that will combine all three flagship newspapers under a single roof to efficiently combine resources. The backbone of this newsroom will be a brand new, enterprise-class content management system called Méthode, produced by EidosMedia, which will allow us to reorganise our workflows for both the web and print.

“I have no hesitation in saying that this will be one of the most modern, scaled-up newsrooms in the world, something that we will all be very proud of,” said Rajiv. “It is now our responsibility to keep it going and keep it modern. We will be set for the next 5-10 years until the next big change comes.”

The change, however, is bigger than simply moving into a swanky

new workplace and using the latest technology, all three editors pointed out. “We have to change our entire mindsets,” said Shashi Shekhar, editor-in-chief of Hindustan.

Sanjoy Narayan, editor-in-chief of Hindustan Times, reiterated this point. “From producing a newspaper at a single point of time in a day as we do today, we are going to become continuous publishers,” he said. “It’s going to impact the way we work, our news cycles, everything. There won’t be a time when we are not publishing something or the other. Our reporters will possibly have to learn new skills.”

Mint editor Sukumar Ranganathan summed it up succinctly. “No matter what technology we use, at the core of everything are good, old-fashioned journalistic principles. Those are not

going to change.” He added that the possibility of collaborating with the other two titles was exciting. “We have fine editors. We can do interesting things together,” he said.

Vinod Sharma, Political Editor at Hindustan Times asked about the importance of talent to drive the new technology. Sanjoy acknowledged it was crucial, saying “Technology is no substitute for good journalism. Even with our digital transition, demand for good writing and editing skills will be even more than what we need now. I think these skills are something that we have to invest in. We need people with higher quality skills to meet the challenges that are already here.”

Harinder Baweja, Investigations Editor at Hindustan Times asked the panel about the impact of Project Butterfly on print operations, to which Sanjoy replied that it was still work in progress. “Since we are very different from markets where the decline in print has happened very fast, it is difficult to say how exactly the print side of things will change. It is up to all of us to sit down and figure it out.”

We are competing with ‘glocal’ players -

Travel Time

I had been contributing articles to HT since my school days, but never knew that I will become a part of the

HT family which I joined in July 2013. I am enjoying the experience here, especially many golden opportunities to interview celebrities who I always wanted to meet. Talking about my hobbies, writing and traveling are

there at the top. I have always believed in what someone has rightly said, “On this earth there is nothing great but man, in man there is nothing great but mind.”

Which holiday destination did you visit recently?I visited Hong Kong, Asia’s World City, and it exceeded my expectations. A very modern, cosmopolitan and vibrant place, it compels you to visit again and again. Honestly, this destination proved more captivating than my visit to Singapore in 2006.

Why did you choose this destination?My uncle James Sandhu and aunt Babbly Dhillon are settled at Hong Kong for several decades, and always wanted me to visit them. Whenever

we spoke, they always shared how great a destination Hong Kong is, so this had been on my mind for several years. Also, I saw its beauty in several movies. So when I finally landed there, my excitement knew no bounds.

Who all joined you for the vacation?I went alone, but never got bored as my journey was dotted with a lot of enthusiasm and curiosity. I savoured every moment, right from boarding the nonstop Cathay Pacific flight from New Delhi. My uncle and aunt together with their children made my visit memorable, inspiring and joyful.

What were the most beautiful places you visited/ things you saw?The list is endless and begins with the famous Victoria Peak (428 meters above sea level) from where one can

see the entire skyline of the city. The skyscrapers look stunning from the top. Hong Kong’s Madam Tussaud’s Museum is located nearby, an avenue of stars which also has the handprints of the most celebrated movie stars right on the avenue’s street. Ocean Park, Disney land, and Ngong Ping village that offers 360-degree views of the city and has one of the biggest Buddha statues of the world were the other unforgettable attractions. The beautiful island of Macau, an hour away by ferry, is a paradise of casinos. Huge shopping malls, quaint local markets, and trams that have been running since the British era are highly recommended.

What cuisine did you like the most?Hong Kong is known for its seafood specialties, but being a

I have my relatives here who love me so much, and this is one tourist destination that can captivate visitors. Just like Venice that I visited in 2009.

What are the must-buy souvenirs from this place?All tourist attractions sell their own souvenirs in the form of postcards, key rings, t-shirts, bags, and a lot more. Do not forget to buy postcards of Hong Kong’s old airport Kai Tak which was right inside the city and was notorious for dangerous flight landings in those days. Apart from this, Chinese hand fans and various other decorative items are also popular purchases.

What is the most memorable moment from your trip?Breakfast at the luxurious Ritz Carlton hotel on the last day of my visit truly stands out. The entire building is covered in glass, with the restaurant on the 117th floor standing 428 meters above sea level.

Each table has binoculars, and the spectacular view takes

your breath away. This experience is truly memorable,

albeit an expensive one.

vegetarian I enjoyed fried noodles with exotic vegetables.

Would you share some travel tips for this place?Firstly, you do not require a visa for the first 14 days of travel. However, the immigration desk will ask for your return ticket and accommodation arrangements during the stay. In case you forget your camera and request photographers at various tourist attractions to take your pictures, it can cost you a lot; charges begin from HK$150. Vegetarians need not worry as most restaurants do have options, though they may be limited. There are several schemes for tourists using public transport to get around.

What are the best hotels and/or eating joints at this place?If you are looking for one of the oldest and most popular, the luxurious Peninsula that opened its doors in 1928 is right at the top. Several other options are available to suit all budgets.

Would you like to visit this place again? Why/ Why not?I would love to visit Hong Kong again.

Hong Kong is known for its many seafood delicacies,

but options abound for vegetarians
