  • Blue Tribe’s Eat Green Initiative plates up climate action this Earth Day with plant-based punch

    Blue Tribe’s Eat Green Initiative plates up climate action this Earth Day with plant-based punch

    MUMBAI: If saving the planet had a flavour, Blue Tribe just cooked it up. This Earth Day, the plant-based protein brand launched its week-long ‘Eat Green Initiative’, a campaign urging folks to rethink what’s on their plates. Forget cold lectures about climate change — this one comes with sizzles, snaps, and snacks.

    From 22-28 April, Blue Tribe employees, influencers, and brand fans will show off their kitchen chops by whipping up meals using the company’s plant-based products.

    Their aim is to make eating green go viral. All that culinary activism will be shared online under the hashtag #BlueTribeEatGreenInitiative, creating a tasty trail of digital breadcrumbs for anyone still clinging to industrial meat like it’s 1999.

    “Every meal is a choice, and every choice has a consequence,” said Blue Tribe Foods co-founder Sandeep Singh. “Through the Eat Green Initiative, we want to show that small, mindful decisions like opting for plant-based meals, can collectively make a significant difference for the planet. Earth Day is a reminder that sustainability must be a part of our daily lives, not just a one-day commitment.”

    And they’re not just chewing the (vegan) fat. According to FAO data, animal agriculture is behind nearly 18 per cent of global carbon emissions.

    Going green in your diet isn’t a food trend—it’s a survival tactic. Blue Tribe wants to make that transition as tasty as it is timely.

    To kick things off, the campaign begins with a digital note from Blue Tribe leadership, framing food as ground zero for sustainable change. Throughout the week, participating eaters will share their dishes alongside environmental impact stats—from water saved to emissions slashed.

    The goal?

    Build a tribe of eaters who connect what’s on their plates with what’s happening to the planet. No guilt-tripping, just guilt-free snacking.

    With global temperatures climbing like a bad fever dream, melting ice caps, and natural habitats on the ropes, Blue Tribe’s call to action is simple: ditch the beef, embrace the bean.

  • Tata Tea’s Jaago Re stirs the pot with AI to brew climate action, one green act at a time

    Tata Tea’s Jaago Re stirs the pot with AI to brew climate action, one green act at a time

    MUMBAI: It’s not just the tea that’s brewing at Tata anymore-it’s a full-blown AI-infused environmental crusade. Tata Tea Jaago Re is back, this time with a digital twist to stir our climate conscience. The new campaign, titled ‘Har Green Action se Farak Padega‘, isn’t just a catchy jingle. It’s a tech-powered wake-up call wrapped in a steaming mug of sustainability.

    Launched on 21 April, 2025, the initiative aims to shake citizens out of their climate apathy and prove that your daily actions – yes, even that shower you took with a bucket – actually count. Built on Google Cloud’s AI suite, the campaign introduces a Whatsapp-based tool via www.jaagore.com. Snap a pic of your green deed, upload it, and the AI – powered by Gemini – will do the rest. It recognises the eco-friendly action and serves up a report card of how much good you’ve done for the planet. It’s sustainability with receipts.

    Tata Tea Jaago Re has always believed in raising the society’s collective consciousness on key social issues of our times and there is nothing more pressing than the need to fight against Climate Change for the world’s future… Through this initiative, we hope to inspire meaningful change for a better tomorrow and unlock the power of collective action of the people, because ‘Ek Ek Karke hum sab karenge, to Farak Padega,’” said Tata Consumer Products president – packaged beverages, Puneet Das.

    Each time ten such actions are verified, Tata Tea goes one better: they plant a tree. That’s right. AI gets you leaves, and trees get real.

    Tata Tea Jaago Re

    Backing the campaign is a stirring film by Mullen Lintas. Picture this: adults tut-tutting over headlines, while kids quietly lead the charge. Buckets replace showers. Lids go on pots. And a catchy chorus scores the whole eco-rebellion. The film makes it clear-the future isn’t just in good hands, it’s in green ones.

    “We are thrilled to collaborate with Tata Tea’s innovative Jaago Re campaign which leverages Gemini and helps solve the challenge of verifying diverse user-submitted actions… fostering both accountability and a sense of achievement,” said Google Cloud India VP & country MD Bikram Singh Bedi.

    Mullen Lintas Kishore Subramanian added, “Through the voices of children, the film emphasises how small, individual efforts can lead to a powerful collective impact, urging all of us to do our bit… Jaago Re.”

    The idea? Make climate action go viral. Not just through hashtags, but through habits.

    Green is no longer just a colour, it’s a KPI.

  • Agoda and Atlys tackle Indian travel stress with a smooth new global booking campaign

    Agoda and Atlys tackle Indian travel stress with a smooth new global booking campaign

    MUMBAI: If travel is supposed to be about discovering new lands, why does it often begin with a mental breakdown? Between chasing elusive flight deals and crossing fingers over visa approvals, Indian travellers have long made anxiety their co-pilot.

    But Agoda and Atlys say it’s time to cancel the chaos.

    The digital travel platform Agoda and visa processing app Atlys launched a co-branded marketing campaign in India aimed squarely at simplifying international travel—and putting the joy back in jet-setting.

    Drawing from a pool of shared travel trauma, the new ad campaign dives straight into the trenches—showcasing the very real stress of planning a foreign trip. From fretting over sky-high fares to pacing while waiting on visa updates, the film hits close to home for any Indian with a passport and a dream. But rather than romanticise the chaos, Agoda and Atlys offer a pragmatic two-step solution: affordable bookings and headache-free visa processing.

    “At Agoda, we believe travel should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Teaming up with Atlys lets us clear two of the biggest hurdles: cost and visa complexity. Together, we’re making global travel from India more accessible, more affordable, and much less stressful – so travellers can explore the world with ease and peace of mind,” said Agoda CMO Matteo Frigerio.

    Atlys founder & CEO Mohak Nahta added, “At Atlys, we’ve built our company on a singular mission: eliminating the visa headaches that prevent millions from experiencing the world freely. For many Indian travellers, venturing abroad brings unique challenges, from finding affordable travel options to dealing with visa uncertainties. Our association with Agoda tackles these hurdles head-on by marrying our expertise in visa facilitation with Agoda’s strong digital travel platform. Together, we create a stress-free, holistic experience for the travellers.”

    The collaboration blends the best of both worlds. Agoda brings its global reach and a stash of five million properties (yes, five million) along with flights, activities, and itinerary-building wizardry. Atlys adds muscle to the visa end, transforming tedious bureaucracy into a slick, smartphone-friendly service.

    Together, they’re pushing the idea that a great trip doesn’t begin with booking a ticket—it starts with confidence. And in 2025, confidence looks like an intuitive app experience, no last-minute surprises, and a partner who gets the drama of international travel and defuses it before takeoff.

    As competition heats up in the digital travel space, this campaign positions Agoda and Atlys as the no-fuss duo India didn’t know it needed. Because the only thing more satisfying than snagging a killer deal is not crying while doing it.

  • The House of Rare’s cool spin on summer fashion

    The House of Rare’s cool spin on summer fashion

    MUMBAI: The House of Rare redefines summer fashion with its SS25 campaign film, ‘White Echoes’, shot in the snow-capped serenity of Kashmir. Known for its innovative storytelling, the brand has delivered a striking juxtaposition of seasonal contrasts—where breezy summer wear meets the frozen silence of winter.

    The House of Rare comprising Rare Rabbit, Rareism, Rare’Z, and Rare Ones—has launched its Spring-Summer 2025 campaign with an unexpected twist. Titled White Echoes, the campaign brings summer fashion into the heart of winter, turning snow-blanketed valleys, misty trails, and frozen lakes into a bold new runway.

    The campaign features The Ruby Edit for women and Summer Layers for men, blending style, comfort, and artistic finesse with a backdrop few would associate with summer fashion.

    Conceptualised and produced entirely in-house, the campaign captures the spirit of pushing boundaries. “This campaign reflects the kind of storytelling we believe in,” said The House of Rare chief business officer Pulkit Verma, “White Echoes is more than a campaign it’s a statement. It reflects our belief that fashion should move people, surprise them, and challenge the ordinary. Kashmir gave us a stunning canvas, but it was the resilience of our crew and the soul of our collections that brought the story alive.”

    The concept sparked from a single question by the brand’s founder, “Why not make summer feel cool by shooting it in the cold?” That seed of inspiration led the team to brave -7°C temperatures in Kashmir, turning adversity into art. The result is not just a campaign it’s an immersive experience.

    The Ruby Edit for women celebrates expressive silhouettes light, flowing, and full of character. Think free-spirited kaftans, breezy brunch-to-beach dresses, co-ord sets that balance ease with edge, and dramatic yet wearable skirts.

    Summer Layers for men leans into texture and tailoring, with bold prints, embroidered shirts from the Tuscan Sun line, and structured pieces from the Guild collection. The looks are rounded off with printed co-ords, shackets, mandarin collar shirts, and versatile denim—designed for modern, unpredictable days.

  • Cerave rolls out Derm On-The-Go for accessible skincare in India

    Cerave rolls out Derm On-The-Go for accessible skincare in India

    MUMBAI: Cerave, has launched its ambitious ‘Derm On-The-Go’ campaign in India bringing science-backed skincare guidance directly to the youth.

    Targeting college students, the initiative features one-on-one consultations with over 100 dermatologists, engaging on-campus activations, and dynamic digital outreach across Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. The mission? To break down barriers to expert skincare advice and empower young Indians with credible knowledge.

    The programme kicked off in Mumbai with the innovative Ceravan (mobile consultation buses) and Cerakiosk (on-site kiosks), where students received personalised skincare education. With over 1,500 free consultations and more than 15,000 footfalls in Mumbai and Delhi, the initiative is now gearing up for its next stop Bengaluru.

    “Cerave wants to empower every Indian to make informed skincare choices,” said L’oréal Dermatological Beauty, L’oréal India director Rami Itani. “With a dermatologist-to-consumer ratio of just 0.7 per 100,000, access to expert advice is limited. The ‘Derm On-The-Go’ program is designed to make dermatological solutions accessible and actionable, empowering consumers to prioritise their skin health with science-backed expertise, daily.”

    Dermatology MD DNB Siddhi Tiwari remarked, “Everyday in my practice, I meet young people who unknowingly damage their skin by following viral skincare trends. Lack of access to expert advice means they rely on guesswork. The Cerave ‘Derm On-The-Go’ initiative is a game-changer it brings expert guidance directly to those who need it most, in spaces they feel comfortable in. With the right education, we can prevent long-term skin damage and foster a generation of well-informed skincare consumers.”

    Beyond campus visits, the initiative also leverages digital platforms. Top dermatologists and lifestyle influencers will offer insights on Instagram and Youtube busting skincare myths and encouraging informed conversations around skin health.

    Having made its Indian debut in 2023, Cerave continues its mission to make dermatological care accessible. Its product range powered by three Essential Ceramides and Multivesicular Emulsion (MVE) technology offers clinically proven solutions to restore the skin barrier and deliver lasting hydration.

    Looking ahead, Cerave plans to expand ‘Derm On-The-Go’ across more cities, high-traffic zones, and corporate parks reaching even more consumers where they are.

  • Clear Premium Water turns plastic waste into Benches at National Games

    Clear Premium Water turns plastic waste into Benches at National Games

    MUMBAI: Clear Premium Water has launched its ‘Drink, Dispose and Transform’ campaign during the 38 National Games, converting a staggering nine lakh plastic bottles into recycled benches at Maharana Pratap Sports College (MPSC), Dehradun.

    The initiative was officially unveiled in the presence of Uttarakhand’s sports minister Rekha Arya, following the conclusion of the national event. It underscores the brand’s firm commitment to reducing plastic waste and fostering innovation in public spaces.

    Developed under Clear’s eco-conscious campaign, the benches are crafted using high-quality recycled PET (rPET) bottles—offering a powerful symbol of the tangible outcomes of responsible waste management. Of the total bottles collected, six lakh were gathered before the games and three lakh during. An impressive one lakh bottles were segregated at source across 11 venues and transformed into durable seating, effectively reducing landfill waste and curbing carbon emissions.

    “The installation of recycled benches at MPSC Dehradun, in partnership with Clear Premium Water, showcases our commitment to sustainability. By transforming plastic waste into public utilities, we are driving a circular economy and reinforcing our vision for a cleaner, greener future,” said Arya, sports minister of Uttarakhand.

    Clear’s founder & CEO Nayan Shah added, “The installation of recycled benches at MPSC Dehradun reflects our belief that sustainability must be driven by practical, real-world solutions. By transforming used plastic bottles into public utilities, we are closing the loop on plastic waste and creating a model for environmental action that directly benefits the people. The initiative showcases the potential of circular economy solutions, where even discarded bottles are turned into something meaningful. With this drive, we are leading the way and showing to the world that Mission Zero Plastics Bottle Waste is achievable with collective commitment and efforts.”

    The campaign’s impact extended beyond recycling. Over 200 ragpickers and 100 cleaning staff were mobilised across 11 venues to collect and repurpose the waste. Their collective effort not only saved nearly 10,000 kilos of carbon emissions but also conserved 2.67 lakh megajoules of energy—7.5 per cent of which came from green sources.

    Clear Premium Water’s Mission Zero drive made history as the 38 National Games became India’s first national event—and the second globally after the Olympics—to spearhead a large-scale green initiative. The project supports the broader goals of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and Mission Life, setting a strong precedent for sustainable action at future global events, including the proposed 2036 Olympics in India.

    By combining innovation, inclusion, and environmental responsibility, Clear Premium Water has shown how corporate sustainability can spark nationwide change—one recycled bottle at a time.
