Kestone Utsav Enters the Luxury Wedding Space

Kestone Utsav, a luxury weddings and social events company promoted by CL Educate, made a grand debut with an exclusive preview event at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi. The showcase introduced Utsav as a unique blend of tradition, culture, luxury and personalised service catering to India’s premium segment.

The company is capitalising on India’s social events market, which is estimated to reach INR 100,000 crores by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 20%. Kestone is tapping into this emerging market, which is becoming increasingly organised, focusing on a strong knowledge-based approach where thought leadership, technology, and operational excellence—backed by customer trust—are key success factors. It is also leveraging its strengths in experiential marketing and hybrid events that seamlessly combine physical and digital execution.

The well-renowned chef Sanjeev Kapoor has joined Kestone Utsav as a founding member and co-promoter alongside CL Educate. He was present at the event, along with Sameer Puri, the celebrated restaurateur who is also part of the core founding team.

Speaking to Wedding Vows, Sanjeev Kapoor highlighted how this industry is currently dominated by mom-and-pop operations. He remarked, “We are going to bring scale, personalisation, and technology to this industry and unite people to make it bigger.”

The wedding industry is evolving rapidly, with companies taking significant steps to make it more organised.

Satya Narayanan R., Chairman and Executive Director of CL Educate, expressed optimism about the company’s ‘Wed in India’ campaign, which aims to boost India as a premier wedding destination and showcase the country’s incredible venues on a global scale.

Talking to Wedding Vows, he said, “Our services will add value for customers and deliver greater value for money. With the help of technology, we will introduce transparency, real-time information, feedback and efficient solutions.”

He further added, “Utsav leverages Kestone’s 25 years of experience and targets the fast-growing social events segment with a robust mix of deep tech, a digital-first approach, and sophisticated on-ground execution.”

The Road Ahead

Kestone Utsav aims to capture a 1 percent market share and achieve INR 1,000 crores in revenue over the next five years. The shift in this space from an informal industry to a more structured, brand-driven one—with entry barriers defined by professionally organised services, advanced technology, and trusted names—will be a critical factor in Kestone Utsav’s success.

The company also plans to explore international markets, particularly in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the United States, after establishing a strong domestic presence. Selected international destinations are likely to feature in the first phase of its ‘Wed in India’ initiative, accompanied by a targeted go-to-market strategy focused on key NRI cities for business development.

Kestone Utsav appears poised to redefine the luxury wedding space, bringing innovation, scale, and professionalism to the forefront of the industry.
