Sushmita Sen, Bollywood Actress, Entrepreneur, says, “I am honoured to be a part of the 'Where Next?' campaign by the House of Glenfiddich - Art, Travel & Beyond. This campaign perfectly encapsulates the essence of life by celebrating those who discovered the world beyond their comfort zone. One of the things I found to be incredibly significant that helped me get to where I am today was being able to do things on my own terms. I am excited to inspire the world with my journey and ask them 'Where Next?' as they create their extraordinary stories.”

Zoya Akhtar, Indian Film Director, Screenwriter, Entrepreneur, says "As a storyteller, I've always believed in exploring new narratives and pushing the creative boundary that’s been set. Being a part of the House of Glenfiddich’s ‘Where Next?’ campaign has been amazing as one gets very few chances to talk about this aspect of the journey, to discuss the essence of what it means when you say dare to dream."

The sentiments echoed by Vikas Khanna, Indian Chef, Entrepreneur, “Where Next? is truly a question that I always have in my mind. As a chef, author and filmmaker, my journey has always been about the relentless pursuit of innovation and excellence. It all started with wondering what else I could do next. Because I knew if I stop evolving, I wouldn’t reach where I am today. Being recognized as a part of House of Glenfiddich’s campaign has been an incomparable experience, and I hope my story will help inspire others to constantly ask themselves the ‘Where Next?’ question!”

Salim Merchant, Music Composer, Entrepreneur, says “My life has been a beautiful journey of experimenting with diverse melodies and crafting music that touches every soul.
