  • Global Skincare sensation CeraVe debuts in India

    Global Skincare sensation CeraVe debuts in India

    Mumbai: L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty recently unveiled its first brand – CeraVe, the #1 dermatologist-recommended skincare brand in the US*, in India.

    To support the launch and amplify its core proposition, the brand hosted ‘Skin Barrier Science – A Dermatological Summit’ in Mumbai, with key dermatologists, experts, and partners coming together from all over India and the world to highlight the importance of providing patients with access to dermatologically recommended skincare solutions in India.

    Speaking at the launch event, L’Oréal India L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty – director Rami Itani said, “We are excited to launch the L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty division in India, starting with CeraVe, one of the most trusted skincare brands globally. According to a study conducted by the Indian Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, we deducted that India has one of the lowest ratios of dermatologists to consumers in the world, and we believe that consumers deserve to have access to dermatological solutions that are effective and safe. We observed an increasing demand among consumers for skincare that is backed by science and recommended by healthcare professionals. With this launch, we aim to bridge this gap and meet the needs of our consumers, by providing access to expert dermatological care and effective skincare solutions.”

    CeraVe’s unique formula has been developed with dermatologists and contains three essential ceramides that restore the skin’s natural barrier, leveraging MVE (Multivesicular Emulsion) technology, an exclusive delivery system that provides long-lasting hydration. CeraVe has a comprehensive portfolio from gentle cleansers to moisturizers and specialized treatments, which offer clinically proven solutions that cater to various skin concerns. CeraVe’s efficacy is clinically proven on Indian skin as the moisturizing cream has been tested on mild to moderate cases of atopic dermatitis as well.  

    A special feature of the event was an educational experience zone, led by Dr. Namita Misra, head, Omics Teams for Exposome Advanced Research, L’Oréal France, who shared the science and research that goes into CeraVe, both globally and in India. A futuristic take on the event was the presence of Dr. Muneeb Shah in holographic real-time interactive form. Dr. Shah is a globally renowned US-based dermatologist known on social media as doctorly. He provided a masterclass taking the attendees through his experience and social media tips to bring the voice and expertise of dermatologists closer to consumers.

    Leading international dermatologist, Dr. Giuseppe Micali coming from Italy, spoke about the importance of Skin Barrier Science and the role of Ceramides in the restoration of the skin barrier and improvement in skin quality.  Senior Indian dermatologist Dr. Neena Khanna who was the head of the dermatology department at AIIMS hospital in Delhi shared the results of a local clinical trial that was done in India to prove CeraVe’s efficacy on Indian skin. A panel discussion was held to better understand skin conditions prevalent in India and the role of ceramides in protecting the skin barrier and improving overall skin health.

    CeraVe is available in dermatology clinics, chemist stores, e-pharmacies, and on Nykaa under the dermatological banner.

  • Razorpay unveils inspiring brand film ‘Believe’ on National Entrepreneurs Day

    Razorpay unveils inspiring brand film ‘Believe’ on National Entrepreneurs Day

    Mumbai: Reiterating its commitment to supporting and celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit of founders, Razorpay, India’s Leading Omnichannel Payments, and Banking Platform for Businesses, has launched its new brand film, ‘Believe’. Launched on National Entrepreneurs Day, the film is an ode to the spirit of self-belief and conviction entrepreneurs showcase throughout their journeys.

    The film aims to highlight that while everyone celebrates the success of these trailblazers and game-changers who have put the nation on top of the startup table globally today, very few focus on the nuances of their journeys which play a crucial role in their victories. Having partnered with Footloose Films to conceptualize and co-create the film, Razorpay has vividly captured the story of every founder’s journey in under three minutes, encapsulating their triumphs, and challenges throughout, from starting with that simple idea, and relentlessly braving through all possible odds till the end.

    Launched on Razorpay’s social media platforms – Youtube, LinkedIn, Twitter & Instagram, the film brings this message alive through the lens of a successful founder who after five years of starting his company, gives in a moment of retrospection and reminisces about his journey – one filled with big challenges and equally big successes. He reflects on his founding journey of how it all began, right from quitting a high-paying job and comfortable lifestyle to having nothing but a vision and conviction, from being a CEO to a receptionist, from pitching his idea to others to sometimes having to convince even himself, from moments of solidarity with his supporters to moments of deafening solitariness – he reflects on everything that’s brought him to this moment of success and realizes that the one thing that kept him going was his – Belief.

    Commenting on the launch of the brand film, Razorpay VP of marketing Apuarv Sethi said, “With this brand film, we are pumped up to drive home the message that entrepreneurial spirit must be celebrated, appreciated, and supported, not limited to just their successes. At Razorpay, we have consistently prioritized our mission of empowering founders and facilitating their success by proactively identifying their challenges and pioneering innovative solutions well ahead of the industry curve. Having experienced the entrepreneurial journey firsthand, we deeply understand the hardships and obstacles founders frequently encounter. This film, therefore, reiterates our vision that no founder will ever have to walk this journey alone.

    He added, “India, being home to the third largest startup ecosystem in the world, is a true testament to the mindset and purpose-driven outlook that our entrepreneurs have brought about. From curating swift and seamless money movement outlets across borders to providing robust capital support, Razorpay has been walking along as a trusted payments partner with these entrepreneurs, supporting & championing them in their journey.”

    Directed by Ishaan Gaur, and Indrasish Mukharjee, the entire film is a vivid montage of instances and moments filled with ups and downs, curveballs, and swift wins peppered with what seem like endless failures, that not only strike a chord with young founders and seasoned ones, but are relatable to any and every founder.

    “Razorpay is rooted in its belief to enable and empower entrepreneurs and we are extremely proud of how the same spirit has been translated in this brand film. We would like to describe this film as ‘Behind the scenes with Razorpay’. With this piece, we wanted to give a heartfelt shout-out to the entrepreneur community. Strip away the glamour and the numbers and take a look at what goes on behind the curtains, all the ups and downs, the stellar human stories behind these giant names and achievements. And we felt if someone could do justice to this story, it would be us”, said  Footloose Films creative director  Indrasish Mukherjee.

    Razorpay empowers businesses of all sizes with its comprehensive and expansive product portfolio, right from offering PG services to POS Solutions, Business Banking, Rize Community, Payroll solutions, and more, seamlessly helping founders outgrow the ordinary. By constantly shouldering businesses, Razorpay has remained true to its core value of serving the startup ecosystem in India. This film comes after the widely successful campaign of Razorpay ‘Imagined By AI’ showcasing 45 founders in 45 days and narrating their stories through AI.
