Amex Platinum vs ICICI Emeralde Private for lifestyle perks?

Looking to pick up a true super-premium card mostly for hotel statuses (Marriott/Hilton) and pure luxury perks, less about the absolute reward multipliers.

Amex Plat charges ₹60k. Emeralde Private is ₹12.5k but getting it requires an insane TRV with ICICI.

Anyone here hold both? Which concierge is actually useful in India? Need to book impossible dinner reservations sometimes.

Amex concierge is literally unmatched. I asked them to get me reservations at Indian Accent in Delhi on a Friday with 24 hours notice and they pulled it off. ICICI concierge is outsourced to a 3rd party and they just google things for u lol.
