India Today Group, India’s premier media conglomerate with over 42 years of media heritage, announces new beginnings with Brides Today, a luxury wedding magazine, which is an extension of the group’s monopoly over the couture wedding space. The publication is a one-stop shop for brides, grooms, and their families to plan and execute luxe weddings. It offers the same high-end look and feel that readers and brands have come to love over the years with the group’s previous wedding publication. Brides Today will publish 10 issues per year, targeting not only the bride and groom, but the entire bridal brigade and all high-life enthusiasts. The content boasts of luxury weddings, opulent bridal-wear and international lifestyle along with the latest trends in destination events, honeymoon hotspots, spectacular soirées, and more. It promises to make nuptial journeys a fairytale for every bride and groom to-be, as well as all attendees, scoping everything from dream dresses to diamonds, haute couture to décor. Each of the 10 issues will have a central wedding theme, which will bind all the sections together. Depending on the theme of a particular issue, all the sections from fashion to wedding planning, from beauty to jewellery, will talk about bridal fashion, jewellery, destinations and planning tips related to executing that theme. In a nutshell, it will be an A-Z guide on that particular wedding theme. “We are very excited to offer Brides Today, a one-of-its-kind content platform, which eases readers into this important category in India. I am honoured to be entrusted with such an overwhelming legacy and such a luxurious title. Being an India Today Group publication is a proud moment and we hope to provide our readers with the kind of content they want,” said Nupur Mehta Puri, the editor of the magazine. The magazine will be an eclectic mix of modernity and tradition, the complete package for the contemporary couple looking to turn their wedding day dream to reality. The brand also addresses a groom’s needs too, with special features on men’s wear, lifestyle updates, and tips on grooming. All in all, the publication has a celebratory vibe to it, while catering to the booming bridal market in the country.

Waiting on a BMW is mostly silence. Bimmer Tracker fills it in. Give it the 7-digit production number from your order sheet — or your VIN, once you have one — and it follows your car from the factory line to your dealer, telling you the moment anything changes. WHAT YOU SEE • Where your car actually is. Production, paint, assembly, quality check, awaiting carrier, dispatched, at the port, in transit, at the dealer. The real stages BMW publishes, not a progress bar someone invented. • Your car, rendered. The configured BMW Digital Brochure images for your exact VIN — your paint, your wheels, your trim — in the same showroom BMW photographs them in. • How it was built. Exterior and interior colours with real swatches, wheels, packages, and individual options, exactly as BMW has them on file. • The story so far. A dated timeline of every stage your car has passed through, so you can see how long each one took. NOTIFICATIONS IN PLAIN ENGLISH "Your iX3 has left the factory. It's on its way to the coast." Not a status code. We keep checking your car even when the app is closed, and tell you when the answer changes. THE FLEET, FOR FREE Every US car we've found and decoded, model by model — median sticker, the most common paint, M Sport take rate, panoramic roof rate, and a production-pace chart showing how fast the line is actually running. Twenty-three model families and growing. No purchase required for any of it. NO ACCOUNT, EVER No sign-up, no password, no email address. Just the number on your order. We don't know your name and never ask for it. WHAT IT COSTS Tracking a car is a one-time $4.99 unlock. Not a subscription — buy it once, keep it, and it follows your Apple Account to any device you own. The fleet statistics and the sample-car tour are free and always will be. NO NUMBER YET? Take the tour. It walks through a real car's build with everything working, so you can see exactly what you'd be getting before you pay for anything. WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM BMW's own public order-tracking service — the same one your production number works on. We relay what it says and never guess. When BMW publishes no date for a stage, we show no date. Bimmer Tracker is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by BMW AG or BMW of North America, LLC. BMW and all model designations are trademarks of their respective owners. US vehicles only.
