The road is our
editorial brief.

Raghav started Licence to Drive at fourteen — which tells you most of what you need to know about him. An avid traveller, culture spotter, auto enthusiast and committed Gen Z native, he is also the founder of Civic Spectrum, a communications and advocacy agency focused on social impact. An alumnus of Modern School Barakhamba Road, New Delhi and uVA Amsterdam, he has the lens of a generalist, the sharp critique of a specialist, and an instinct for the written word that started this whole thing.

Three decades across brand strategy, advertising, design, and entrepreneurship have given Sanjay a vantage point that’s hard to manufacture. He is the founder at SSARMA Consults, a boutique brand and communication advisory based in Delhi NCR. His views on brand marketing and advertising are often spotted across leading dailies such as Business Standard, HT Mint, Hindustan Times and Hindu BusinessLine. He speaks at management institutes, design schools and startup forums, and spends a disproportionate amount of his time shaping passion projects, mentoring early-stage ventures and incubating new economy ideas.

A food technologist by training and a writer and language coach by inclination, Simmi has worked with the Taj Group of Hotels, the World Health Organisation, and as a Project Consultant at the Embassy of France in New Delhi. She writes, edits and translates across English, French and Hindi, with a working interest in Urdu. Her editorial range runs from travel and food to current affairs, health, finance and the environment. She is a published author, commissioned to write the official biography of one of India’s prominent educationists. She approaches every subject, as she does every language, with precision and warmth.

Born in India, flying out of Dallas, perpetually in transit. Saptarshi has spent the better part of his life in motion — traversing continents, finding the restaurants worth the detour, and having unhurried conversations with strangers who turn out to be the most interesting people in the room. A connoisseur of considered hospitality, he writes about the world the way a good traveller should: with curiosity first, conclusions later.

Writers, editors and contributors who share one thing: they pay attention. To the road, the table, the art, the architecture, the design and the detail. Things that most others walk past.
