Indulgent heritage experiences with each swipe. Only with the Times Black ICICI Bank credit card

Some moments in history reveal themselves only when the crowds disappear and the gates close to the world. On September 27, 2025, as Delhi's Red Fort settles into twilight silence, a select group will discover what lies beyond the velvet ropes of one of India's most guarded monuments.

This isn't tourism. This is the transformation of space itself.
The Times Black ICICI Bank Credit Card has just announced its most audacious experiential offering yet: an exclusive evening at the Lal Qila, complete with a musical performance by Deveshi Sahgal, a high tea menu curated by Indian Accent, and a private viewing of the iconic light and sound show that typically plays to thousands.


The irony isn't lost on anyone familiar with the card's journey. A year ago, Times Black ICICI Bank credit card made its spectacular debut at the Gateway of India, where Mumbai's most recognisable landmark transformed into a private venue.

This is more than a financial product. It is a cultural gateway. It has tapped into a truth traditional luxury brands often miss: it’s not just about indulgence, but about accessing culture and heritage in ways that feel both exclusive and authentic.

Beyond the monuments: A lifestyle revolution
The Red Fort and Gateway of India experiences represent just one facet of this card. This credit card, unlike others in the Indian market, has a unique value proposition: it moves far beyond traditional premium benefits into territory most financial products wouldn't explore.

Consider what else is in store for Times Black ICICI Bank credit cardholders:

• Access to On-demand day passes at WeWork India locations across eight cities in India

• Expanded partnerships with Lohono Stays – Unlock luxury villa experiences across India and make your weekends unforgettable

• A lifestyle management service that fulfils bespoke requests via Criblife

Such attention to curation extends across every aspect of the Times Black ICICI Bank Card experience. WeWork India offers more than just workspaces. It connects you to a vibrant network of innovators, fast-growing startups, and global enterprises shaping the future of work. Every Lohono villa is a carefully-curated home, designed to offer stories worth sharing. Even the travel privileges are designed around the understanding that affluent travelers prioritise seamless experiences above all else.

Setting new benchmarks
As India’s financial services industry grapples with how to differentiate premium products in an increasingly homogenised market, the Times Black ICICI Bank offering has written its own playbook. It has moved beyond points and cashbacks into territory that platforms genuine partnerships, cultural understanding, and operational complexity most credit cards wouldn't attempt.

The result? A card that functions less like a payment method and more like a membership to experiences that redefine how you see your own country.

For the cardholders gathering at Red Fort on September 27, 2025, the evening will end. But the understanding that they carry a key to experiences most people will never access? That revelation will be permanent.

Because the Times Black ICICI Bank credit card isn't just changing how people spend. It’s changing what's worth spending on.
