What Sublime does

Sublime is a Bengaluru-based diversified brand portfolio operating under the Prestige Group conglomerate since 2009, founded and led by Uzma Irfan (also Executive Director at Prestige Group). Rather than operating as a single-product company, Sublime functions as a multi-vertical lifestyle and marketing services platform spanning 10+ sub-brands. Its core operations include Sublime House of Media (an INS-accredited media buying agency since 2011), digital marketing services (SEO/SEM, programmatic, influencer, social, email, content), Sublime House of Tea (a gourmet FMCG line launched in 2013 with 80+ SKUs of tea, dry fruits, spices, and honey), Sublime Galleria (India's first Sky Gallery, inaugurated 2009 at UB City Bengaluru), restaurants and cafés (The Courtyard by Sublime launched November 2019 at Prestige Trade Towers, and Maayaa fine dining), travel businesses (Fairy Glen and Sublime Wilderness Odyssey safari operators), publishing (quarterly Falcon News magazine with 50,000+ readership, and The Luxury Collection premium lifestyle magazine), and event management (Sublime Experience). The company also owns intellectual property assets including Art Bengaluru (annual art festival since 2011, 9+ editions, 50+ artists, 500+ artworks), Film Bengaluru, and Fit Bengaluru festivals.

The business model blends professional services revenue (media buying commissions, digital marketing service fees, event management fees), subscription revenue from publishing (print editions at ₹180 per issue to ₹1,305 for a three-year subscription; digital editions at ₹270 to ₹810), one-time product sales from FMCG channels (sublime.in e-commerce and the new airport retail store at BLR Airport Terminal 2 opened June 2026), transaction fees from art gallery sales and commissions, and F&B revenue from restaurants. Primary customer segments are corporate/enterprise clients (heavily concentrated in the Indian real estate sector via Prestige Group), luxury consumers and discerning travellers (targeting HNIs), art collectors and enthusiasts, and HNI readers of luxury lifestyle publications. The company does not disclose revenue, has no external funding rounds, and operates with a headcount of 51-100 employees, with all operations concentrated in Bengaluru and Karnataka.
