The Zora Delhi Convention Centre recently announced the pre-launch of The Zora Estate, a new premium venue experience designed by celebrated wedding and event designer Abhinav Bhagat within its landmark Open Canvas space at Lodhi Road. The collaboration brings together design, scale and versatility for a city whose event industry is evolving faster than ever.

The Zora Estate reimagines Open Canvas as a venue purpose-built for luxury weddings, sangeets, corporate events, social gatherings, curated brand experiences, and large-format productions. Anchored by a newly designed entrance and courtyard, it fuses Indian design sensibility with a distinctly global aesthetic.

The announcement follows a landmark first year for The Zora, which has hosted 125+ high-profile events since opening, establishing itself as one of Delhi’s most sought-after destinations for large-scale luxury celebrations. Located at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Lodhi Road, The Zora has built its reputation on central accessibility, expansive infrastructure, and the flexibility to host everything from grand weddings to corporate conferences, exhibitions, product launches, and entertainment-led experiences. With The Zora Estate, it takes its next deliberate step forward, positioning the venue in the ultra-luxury segment.

Unlike the venue’s other spaces, The Zora Estate will operate on a deliberately limited scale. The Zora will host only 9 to 10 events at the new venue each year, a number chosen by design rather than demand. Showarounds of the space will be strictly invite-only, reserved for select media, planners, and prospective clients rather than open public viewings.

This approach reflects The Zora’s positioning of The Zora Estate as its most exclusive offering yet, designed for those who seek not just a large-scale venue but an ultra-luxury event experience. For clients looking to create celebrations unlike anything else in Delhi, The Zora Estate has been built to deliver exactly that.

“The first feeling we want guests to have when they enter is that they should feel the luxury in the air. The venue has been designed to feel breathtaking from the very first moment, with a beautiful entrance and courtyard. The aesthetic works for corporate events, weddings, sangeets, and every kind of celebration. We wanted to create something Indian, but with a global approach. The Zora and I go a long way. I have seen this venue built from the ground up, and we’ve created beautiful events at Open Canvas even in its early stages. It’s a prestigious venue in central Delhi, and I’m glad to be pre-launching this new experience with them,” said Abhinav Bhagat, Founder of Abhinav Bhagat Events, Luxury wedding designer and Event Stylist.

Vivek Tyagi, General Manager, Operations, The Zora said, “The Zora has always been built as a canvas for imagination. With The Zora Estate designed by Abhinav Bhagat, we’re creating a new venue experience that brings together premium infrastructure, central Delhi accessibility, and one of India’s most recognised design visions. After a strong year across Ballroom, Myst, and Open Canvas, this collaboration marks an important next step in how we see event spaces evolving in Delhi and the NCR.”

The launch reflects a broader shift in India’s event industry, where there is growing demand for venues that are not only large in scale but also experience-led, visually immersive, and adaptable across different formats. The Zora Estate has been conceptualised to meet this demand, offering a design-forward venue for weddings, corporate events, social celebrations, and luxury gatherings, available only to a select few through an invite-only experience.

The pre-launch, showcased on July 10, gave select media, event planners, wedding professionals, influencers, and industry partners an exclusive first look at the venue ahead of its wider availability for bookings.
