NOV 2025 | VOL VII ISSUE I

There are issues you assemble—and then there are issues that gather you. This November edition felt like the latter: a quiet pull toward truth, toward intentionality, toward the kind of beauty that doesn’t shout but stays. As I moved through each story, I found myself returning to a single thought: we are living in an age that demands discernment, softness, and a certain unshakeable inner fire. 

There are covers—and then there are chronicles—rare convergences of image, narrative, and ethos that transcend their moment to enter the quiet, enduring corridors of cultural memory. Our cover muse, the illustrious Saina Nehwal, belongs resolutely to this latter realm.  

What you hold in your hands is not merely a magazine—it is a living, breathing mosaic of voices that whisper, wail, and wonder. This issue of Popp Dapp is an invitation to linger, to feel, and to awaken to the exquisite symphony of defiance and grace.

 Fashion, beauty, and creativity have long been playgrounds for rebellion—where rules are broken, norms are rewritten, and artistry is unapologetically unleashed. In this issue of Popp Dapp, we celebrate the disruptors, the dreamers, and the risk-takers who have redefined their industries with fearless originality. 

In the ever-evolving landscape of digital culture, social media influencers have emerged as pivotal arbiters of taste, style, and innovation. Their influence extends beyond mere aesthetics; they shape consumer behavior, dictating trends across fashion, beauty, wellness, and beyond. 

Innovation is the bandwagon that businesses (especially startups) are always desperate to hop on! Today, if India can embark on its reputation and maintain a global status in the world economy, it is because of innovation. 

You know the thing about life, it is not a noun – it is a verb “living.” It is not what we have, it's what we do continuously – better than every passing moment. The same is true with love; it’s ‘loving’ – the process. We have lately trimmed down the capacity and comprehension of the term ‘love’.

After the world was a bit underwhelming in practicality, a zillion hope is not rested on the conceptuality – particularly in self-expression, spirituality, and creativity – to give a new direction to the generations to come. Art has always been an eminent part of the culture and whatever innovative art forms we are witnessing, are cut out from the ancient cultural fabrics.
