From Halloween parties to Diwali gatherings, content creators are taking their online communities offline. With growing content fatigue pushing audiences beyond the screen, these experiences are opening up avenues for ticket sales, brand deals & audience engagement. My latest 👇🏻
#MintPremium | As India's creator base grows, influencers are taking audiences offline through festivals, workshops and gatherings to build communities and diversify earnings. Festivals like Halloween and Diwali have added momentum, while brands gain new opportunities to engage audiences in person.

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he hiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.

Since its première, in 2022, “Slow Horses”—Apple TV’s fast-paced espionage drama about a division of MI5 where the screwups and sluggards end up—has become “a treasure to those in the know, and a nonentity to outsiders,” Inkoo Kang writes. The show, starring Gary Oldman and Jack wo dozen Emmy nominations, and a few wins, but has never reached the breakout status of “Ted Lasso” or “Severance.” Read why Kang thinks the underrated program is the best on Apple TV:newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Eo8xaf

India Inc is bracing for muted salary hikes in 2027 as rising costs and economic uncertainty squeeze budgets. Deloitte and WTW expect average increments to remain flat, while banking sector hikes could fall to 6-7% in FY27.

No damage to books by a bear. Closer home, damaging books seem to be the only way to communicate
A curious black bear was caught on security camera walking around a local library in California, hours before the facility opened. No damage to books was reported but the bear did find its way into snacks for library staff
