Sirca Paints Hosts an Exclusive Architects' Meet in Gwalior
Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) [India], July 12: In a bid to further strengthen its presence and relationships within the design and architectural community, Sirca Paints India Ltd. recently hosted an exclusive Architects' Meet in the historic city of Gwalior. The event brought together some of the most forward-thinking architects and interior designers in the region, creating a vibrant platform for dialogue, collaboration, and creative exchange.
As one of India's leading brands in luxury wood coatings and decorative finishes, including the Italian wall textures by OIKOS Italy, Sirca has consistently aligned itself with design excellence and innovation. The Gwalior meet was a natural extension of the brand's ethos -- to not just provide premium finishes, but to be an active participant in shaping the visual and material culture of modern India. The event served as a gathering ground for established voices and emerging talents in design, unified by a shared belief in quality, detail, and craft.
Set against the elegant backdrop of the Jehan Numa Palace Hotel, the evening unfolded as a sophisticated networking experience infused with warm hospitality and rich conversations. Far beyond a typical corporate showcase, this was a celebration of relationships -- a space where Sirca's signature wood coatings and Oikos wall textures met the minds that shape spaces.
The purpose of the evening was clear: to foster meaningful connections between Sirca and a curated circle of design professionals from Gwalior and surrounding regions. This wasn't about product display alone -- it was about listening, exchanging, and finding synergy in ideas. Architects and designers interacted closely with Sirca's team, exploring potential collaborations, new materials, and how the brand could be integrated meaningfully into future projects.
Among the key attendees were Malay Gadkar from Evenleap Design Studio, known for their experimental forms and understated luxury; Chirayu Agarwal of Sky High, who brings contemporary aspirations into harmony with functional spaces; and Rahul Dewani from Wallnut Engineers, a firm associated with bold structural expression and refined detailing. Also present was Vicky Gidwani of Gidwani Associates, who blends traditional design principles with modern aesthetics; Shailesh Makhijani and Greesh Gupta from Aantrik Interiors & Architecture, celebrated for their seamless integration of materiality and spatial storytelling; and Ravi Bagga of Bagga Associates, a longstanding contributor to Gwalior's evolving design landscape.
Throughout the evening, attendees had the opportunity to experience Sirca's latest surface solutions firsthand. From Italian wood coatings to innovative Oikos wall textures, the finishes sparked discussions on their application across residential, commercial, and bespoke luxury projects.
The event not only spotlighted Sirca's evolving product line but reaffirmed the brand's commitment to being more than a supplier -- to being a collaborator, a creative partner, and a voice in the wider design discourse. For Sirca, this meet was not just about showcasing what's possible with finishes, but about understanding what's next in the language of space.
As the evening came to a close, what lingered wasn't just the memory of elegant textures and flawless finishes, but the energy of connection -- the promise of new ideas and shared ambitions. Through events like these, Sirca continues to invest in the relationships that inspire its future.

EU ministers plan measures to counter Trump's 'unacceptable' 30% tariffs
EU trade ministers have agreed that US President Donald Trump's announcement of 30 per cent tariffs on the European Union was "absolutely unacceptable", and they are studying a new set of countermeasures to respond to the move. The ministers met Monday in Brussels following Trump's surprise announcement over the weekend of such hefty tariffs, which could have repercussions for governments, companies and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. The EU is America's biggest business partner and the world's largest trading bloc. Maro efcovic, the EU's trade representative in its talks with the US, said after the meeting that it was "very obvious from the discussions today, the 30 per cent is absolutely unacceptable". He said that the commission was sharing proposals with the 27 member countries "for the second list of goods accounting of some 72 billion euros ($84 billion) worth of US imports. They will now have a chance to discuss it. This does not exhaust our toolbox and every instrument remains on the table". Lars Lkke Rasmussen, foreign minister of Denmark, which recently assumed the presidency of the EU, said the ministers vowed to work together in negotiating a trade deal with Washington or agreeing on countermeasures. "The EU remains ready to react and that includes robust and proportionate countermeasures if required and there was a strong, feeling in the room of unity," Rasmussen told reporters after the meeting. The tariffs, also announced for Mexico, are set to start on August 1 and could make everything from French cheese and Italian leather goods to German electronics and Spanish pharmaceuticals more expensive in the US, and destabilise economies from Portugal to Norway. Meanwhile, Brussels decided to suspend retaliatory tariffs on US goods scheduled to take effect Monday in hopes of reaching a trade deal with the Trump administration by the end of the month. The "countermeasures" by the EU, which negotiates trade deals on behalf of its 27 member countries, will be delayed until August 1. Trump's letter shows "that we have until the first of August" to negotiate, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters in Brussels on Sunday. Maro efcovic, the EU's trade representative in its talks with the US, said negotiations would continue Monday. "I'm absolutely 100 per cent sure that a negotiated solution is much better than the tension which we might have after the 1st of August," he told reporters in Brussels on Monday. But he added that "we must be prepared for all outcomes". "I cannot imagine walking away without genuine effort. Having said that, the current uncertainty caused by unjustified tariffs cannot persist indefinitely and therefore we must prepare for all outcomes, including, if necessary, well-considered proportionate countermeasures to restore the balance in our transit static relationship." The letters to the EU and Mexico come in the midst of an on-and-off Trump threat to impose tariffs on countries and right an imbalance in trade. Trump imposed tariffs in April on dozens of countries, before pausing them for 90 days to negotiate individual deals. As the three-month grace period ended this week, he began sending tariff letters to leaders, but again has pushed back the implementation day for what he says will be just a few more weeks. If he moves forward with the tariffs, it could have ramifications for nearly every aspect of the global economy. The American Chamber of Commerce in the European Union, an influential industry group representing major American corporations in Europe, said the tariffs could "generate damaging ripple effects across all sectors of the EU and US economies" and praised the EU's delay of countermeasures. In the wake of the new tariffs, European leaders largely closed ranks, calling for unity but also a steady hand to not provoke further acrimony. Just last week, Europe was cautiously optimistic. Officials told reporters on Friday they weren't expecting a letter like the one sent Saturday and that a trade deal was to be inked in "the coming days". For months, the EU has broadcast that it has strong retaliatory measures ready if talks fail. Reeling from successive rebukes from Washington, efcovic said Monday the EU is "doubling down on efforts to open new markets" and pointed to a new economic agreement with Indonesia as one. The EU top brass will visit Beijing fora summit later this month while courting other Pacific nations like South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia, whose prime minister visited Brussels over the weekend to sign a new economic partnership with the EU. It also has mega-deals in the works with Mexico and a trading bloc of South American nations known as Mercosur, and efcovic will meet with his counterpart from the United Arab Emirates next week. While meeting with Indonesia's president on Sunday, Von der Leyen said that "when economic uncertainty meets geopolitical volatility, partners like us must come closer together".
