Aahana Resort serves luxury with a swing, unveils exclusive pickleball court
UTTARAKHAND: The Jim Corbett hideaway has unveiled one of India’s most exclusive pickleball courts, adding a fresh slice of active, nature-led indulgence to its already celebrated wellness offering.
Framed by forest views, open skies and air unspoilt by city clutter, the court is designed for travellers who crave both movement and mindfulness. It blends seamlessly into Aahana’s 13.5-acre estate, staying true to the resort’s philosophy of meaningful, restorative luxury.
Long known for its signature spa rituals, sunrise yoga sessions, guided forest walks and trusted farm-to-fork cuisine, Aahana has consistently positioned itself as a destination where wellness is not simply offered but thoughtfully curated. The new court extends that approach, giving guests a premium outdoor experience that feels both energising and grounding.
Whether it’s families seeking shared fun, couples adding a spirited twist to their getaway, or wellness-led travellers who love staying active, the court offers a considered way to play amidst Corbett’s wilderness. Paired with Aahana’s temperature-controlled private pool villas, it completes an experience where movement and stillness sit in perfect harmony.

Mother Dairy unveils 30 plus products for summer portfolio push
Ice creams, regional dairy and high-protein range drive 30 per cent growth plans
MUMBAI: If summer had a flavour, Mother Dairy is making sure it comes in at least 30. As temperatures climb, Mother Dairy is turning up the chill with an expansive product blitz, announcing a pipeline of over 30 new offerings across its value-added dairy portfolio. Rolled out in phases through the season, the line-up spans indulgence, health, convenience and regional tastes, an attempt to meet India’s increasingly diverse consumption patterns head-on.
Ice creams take centre stage, accounting for around 20 of the new launches. The brand is introducing formats such as a Two-in-One Matka and Tub, alongside a premium ‘Crafted’ range and flavours like Cream Cheese Pistachio Cone and Kulfi Cassata. There is also a clear nod to calorie-conscious consumers, with the debut of a ‘Go-Low’ range featuring variants such as Choco Almond, Shahi Mewa and Kesar Pista Tilla Kulfi.
Beyond indulgence, the company is sharpening its regional play. Products like Jamun Yoghurt and Bhuna Jeera Raita aim to tap into local flavour preferences, while Shrikhand offered in three variants targets western markets. For northern consumers, Meethi Dahi joins the mix, reinforcing a localisation strategy that goes beyond one-size-fits-all offerings.
Convenience is another key lever. Mother Dairy is expanding its UHT milk portfolio with Cow Milk and Standardised Milk in markets such as Jammu and Kashmir, catering to demand for longer shelf-life products without compromising accessibility.
On the nutrition front, the brand is doubling down on protein. Its ‘Pro’ range is being strengthened with Procurd and Propaneer high-protein curd and paneer variants positioning itself within the growing health-conscious segment while retaining its core taste proposition.
The scale of the rollout signals more than just seasonal experimentation. With expectations of over 30 per cent growth across key categories, the company is betting on innovation as a primary growth engine, supported by a mix of traditional and new-age distribution channels.
Marketing, too, is set to match the ambition. High-impact campaigns across ice creams and flavoured milk are in the pipeline, aimed particularly at younger consumers and designed to amplify summer consumption moments.
In a market where heat often dictates demand, Mother Dairy is not just responding to the season, it is trying to own it, one scoop, sip and spoonful at a time.
