Glam Slam in Mumbai as GICW sets the runway for its Season 6 debut

MUMBAI: Flashbulbs, fashion, and a fresh address India’s couture caravan is heading west. After five dazzling, drama-filled seasons in Delhi, Global India Couture Week (GICW) is stitching up a new chapter with its grand Mumbai debut for Season 6, scheduled for 19th, 20th, and 21st September 2025. One of India’s most influential fashion platforms, GICW is turning up the couture heat in the city that never sleeps bringing together legendary designers, Bollywood glamazons, and next-gen fashion firebrands under one sequinned roof.

The move marks a bold shift for GICW, promising a more high-octane, creative, and collaborative energy. Think red carpet dazzle, influencer-packed FROWs, and runway shows that go from classic couture to cutting-edge chaos in the best possible way.

“GICW is not just about showcasing fashion, it’s about shaping the future of Indian design,” said Flashbulbs, founder Satyajit Mohanty.

His partner-in-style, Flashbulbs director of operations Sidharrth Behera added, “Mumbai represents a new energy, and we’re opening our doors wide for young designers to step in, shine, and scale.”

Over the years, GICW has featured couture royalty like Anju Modi, Neeta Lulla, Wendell Rodricks, Narendra Kumar, Samant Chauhan, and Tanieya Khanuja. The film world has been equally smitten, with Karisma Kapoor, Nushrratt Bharuccha, Palak Tiwari, and Divya Khosla Kumar lending their star wattage to the catwalk.

Now, with applications open for emerging designers, GICW Season 6 is giving the fashion disruptors of tomorrow a chance to rub shoulder-pads with the greats. Limited slots are up for grabs, and the exposure is not just national, but global zero compromises, full glamour.

With India’s fashion industry valued at over 18 billion dollars and luxury couture seeing a sharp post-pandemic boom, GICW’s strategic shift to Mumbai is more than just a location change. It’s a sartorial power move, designed to tap into the city’s celebrity ecosystem, global connectivity, and buzzing fashion calendar.

So whether you’re a die-hard couturista or a meme-scrolling style enthusiast, brace yourself. September’s going to be all sequins, swagger, and seriously high fashion Mumbai style.

IBAI report pegs India’s insurance boom at Rs 25 lakh crore by 2030

MUMBAI: The Insurance Brokers Association of India (IBAI) kicked off its silver jubilee year with a bold vision and bolder numbers. At its 24th Foundation Day celebration in Mumbai, the association unveiled its flagship report – ‘Leading the Path to Insurance for All: Broker of the Future’ – developed in collaboration with knowledge partner McKinsey & Company. The report, launched by Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan, Governor of Maharashtra, paints a bullish picture: India’s insurance sector could more than double from Rs 11 lakh crore in 2024 to Rs 25 lakh crore by 2030.

Marking the occasion, Mr. M Nagaraju, IAS, secretary, Department of Financial Services, urged brokers to move beyond metros and into Bharat – Tier 2, Tier 3 towns, SMEs, and agri sectors. “IBAI must partner with public institutions and state governments to ensure truly democratic access to insurance,” he said.

The McKinsey report doesn’t pull punches. India’s 91 per cent protection gap is among the highest globally. Just 1 in 2 Indians has life insurance; 2 in 5 have health cover. Strip away government schemes, and that number drops to 1 in 4. Rural India contributes 45 per cent of GDP, yet only 2 per cent of insurance branches exist in these areas.

Retail and SME segments are projected to be the twin engines of growth. The retail market alone could swell to Rs 21 lakh crore, driven by mass-market demand. On the institutional side, non-life premiums could nearly triple to Rs 2.8 lakh crore, largely fuelled by health and property insurance.

Speaking at the event, M Nagaraju, IAS, Secretary, DFS, MoF said, “I congratulate IBAI on embarking on its silver jubilee year and commend its efforts through initiatives like the Brokers Voice survey, I Broker Magazine, and the Claims Handbook. As India moves towards the goal of ‘Insurance for All by 2047’, the role of insurance brokers becomes increasingly vital. IBAI has emerged not just as a trade body but as a responsible stakeholder and thought leader in the insurance value chain. I urge brokers across the country to actively contribute to this national mission—especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, among small businesses, and in the agriculture sector. IBAI must work closely with the government and public institutions to build awareness, simplify products, and enhance capacity, ensuring truly democratic access to insurance. I also encourage brokers to actively participate in state-level insurance programs.”

Insurance Brokers Association of India president Narendra Bharindwal said, “India’s insurance sector is entering a new era of opportunity, with the potential to more than double by 2030. The growth, however, needs to be secured by fast focus on bridging the massive 91% protection gap that exists in the country. At this moment, brokers have a strategic inflection point. Moving away from merely intermediaries, brokers are becoming trusted advisors that will translate awareness into action and build trust in underserved markets. Regulations permitting, with access to growth capital and investments in digital capabilities, brokers would be able to scale, drive inclusion, and form the bedrock of India’s journey toward ‘Insurance for All’ by 2047. This empowerment must begin now.”

McKinsey & Company senior partner Peeyush Dalmia said, “The Indian insurance industry is at an inflection point. Despite significant growth in premiums, the sector continues to face challenges such as a protection gap and low coverage. Transforming Indian insurance requires innovation and collaboration from all stakeholders, including insurers, brokers, industry bodies, and regulators. Brokers are situated at the intersection of demand and supply, could potentially lead the journey towards the aspiration of ‘Insurance for All by 2047’.”

The report, based on surveys of 2,500 retail customers and 100 institutional clients, uncovered a startling insight: while awareness is rising, intent to buy remains low. Among affluent individuals and HNIs, 60 per cent believe their life insurance should be 10× their salary, but only 30 per cent actually have that cover. Trust is key as 70 per cent of HNIs rely on advisors, while mass-market consumers trust friends and family.

On claims, the story is grimmer. Half of HNIs and over 55 per cent of SMEs report dissatisfaction with claims handling, citing delays, paperwork, and poor support.

India has 735 licensed insurance brokers, but the top 36 control 85 per cent of revenues. Capital access is limited. Regulatory support and digital investment, the report suggests, could transform brokers into true financial allies — especially in mass and SME markets.

The study outlines four strategic interventions to become the Broker of the Future:

● Drive demand through segment-specific, omnichannel engagement

● Unlock access in underinsured markets

● Partner on product innovation

● Create transparent, hassle-free claims and after-sales experiences

Parle-G celebrates the evolution of motherhood into friendship

MUMBAI: This Friendship Day, Parle-G has released its deeply moving Mother-Daughter film, a tribute to the beautiful evolution of one of life’s most powerful relationships. Through the story of a mother and her daughter, the film gently reminds us that sometimes our oldest relationships become our strongest friendships.

Parle-G’s campaign this year is a call to pause and reflect on the unsung friendships in our lives, the bonds that weren’t chosen, but were always there.

“Friendship isn’t just about who we laugh with, it’s also about those who quietly stand by us through every step of life,” said Mayank Shah, Vice President at Parle Products. “Through this film, we honour not just our bonds with friends, but the deeper bonds of companionship with those who are our silent pillars of support—our mothers, sisters, mentors—who’ve moulded us with love and care. Parle-G has always celebrated core emotions, which is the brand’s strength. The fact that we understand and empathise with our near and dear ones comes through naturally in this well-crafted film.”

“This film reflects a generational shift in parenting. When we were growing up, parents were stern, often authoritarian figures. Their word was law. You listened, obeyed, and rarely questioned. But today’s parents are different. There’s a softer, more empathetic approach. They make the effort to understand their children’s world, to meet them where they are, and to build trust through friendship. That change in perspective lies at the heart of our film.”, said Thought Blurb Communications founder & chief creative officer, Vinod Kunj.

When we are young, mothers are our first teachers, protectors, and disciplinarians. They make the rules, guide us, feed us, and with every Parle-G dunked in milk, they pass on tiny bits of wisdom. But with time, some things change.

This film captures that emotional journey with incredible simplicity and honesty. Of going from dependency to deep connection, from mother and daughter to lifelong confidantes. “Today’s mother isn’t just parenting, she’s growing with her teen. She’s evolving, unlearning, listening, and effortlessly stepping into the role of a friend. And what’s beautiful is, it’s mutual. It’s a relationship I know intimately – as a daughter and as the mother of a teen. This film is a celebration of the quiet, unspoken friendship that so many mothers and daughters share today.”, said Thought Blurb Communications national creative director, Renu Somani.

This Friendship Day, join Parle-G in celebrating the friendships that don’t begin in a playground, but in a kitchen, at a dining table, or in the quiet corners of a busy home. Because the journey from “Ma” to “best friend” is one of life’s most beautiful transitions. And like Parle-G, it’s a bond of a lifetime.

Vim celebrates India’s cleanest cities with sparkling tribute and floor cleaner discounts

MUMBAI: Hindustan Unilever’s home care brand Vim has rolled out a spirited, city-specific campaign to honour the winners of Swachh Survekshan 2024–25—India’s largest cleanliness survey spearheaded by the ministry of housing and urban affairs. As a nod to the residents of the nation’s cleanest cities, HUL is offering exclusive discounts on its Vim Ultrapro Floor Cleaner range—reinforcing its message that cleanliness begins at home.

Now in its 10th year, Swachh Survekshan has become a national benchmark for urban hygiene and sanitation. In this year’s edition, Indore, Navi Mumbai, and Surat clinched the top ranks in the premier Super Swachh League, while cities like Ahmedabad, Bhopal, and Lucknow were spotlighted as rising stars. Prayagraj earned special praise for its sanitation efforts during the Mahakumbh. A total of 43 national awards were conferred.

Vim’s hyperlocal campaign targets these winning cities with outdoor hoardings, local radio integrations, and hyperlocal influencer content. More than just a promotional push, the initiative is a celebration of civic pride and a bid to trigger sustained behavioural change around cleanliness—both inside homes and across communities.

HUL home care general manager Srinandan Sundaram said, “Cleanliness has long been woven into the fabric of our culture, and Vim proudly stands by this enduring value. Along these lines, Vim has recently gone beyond dishwash and launched Vim Ultrapro Floor Cleaner range with patented biodegradable polymer technology + probiotic actives- which offers deep cleaning and enhanced performance. This campaign reflects our conviction that the path to cleaner cities starts from building the culture of cleanliness & we are celebrating the people from the winning cities for exhibiting the same. By echoing the spirit of Swachh Survekshan, we hope to inspire citizens to embrace cleanliness as a daily habit—and as a shared responsibility that strengthens our communities.”

The campaign also doubles as a spotlight for Vim’s newly launched Ultrapro Floor Cleaner range, which features patented biodegradable polymer technology and probiotic actives. The product promises 100 per cent stain removal, deep cleaning, and exotic fragrances that last up to four hours—a technological upgrade aimed at India’s evolving home hygiene needs.

With this initiative, HUL strengthens its alignment with national cleanliness drives, seamlessly connecting personal hygiene with civic responsibility—one mop at a time.

Kedaara Capital ropes in Unilever veteran Nitin Paranjpe as chief mentor and operating partner

MUMBAI: Private equity firm Kedaara Capital has appointed Nitin Paranjpe as chief mentor and operating partner, tapping into the expertise of one of the most seasoned executives in India’s consumer goods sector.
Paranjpe, who spent nearly four decades at Unilever, brings formidable leadership experience across operations, transformation, and global category management.

He began his career at the Anglo-Dutch FMCG giant in 1987 and went on to serve as CEO of Hindustan Unilever from 2008 to 2013—one of its youngest ever—and later held senior global roles including president of home care, president of foods and refreshment, and chief operating officer.

During his tenure, Paranjpe spearheaded multiple high-impact initiatives, from doubling business performance at HUL, to leading large-scale integrations and driving digitisation at Unilever globally. Most recently, he served as chief people and transformation officer at Unilever, where he led one of the group’s most ambitious restructurings in two decades.

In his new role, Paranjpe will work closely with Kedaara’s sector teams—especially in consumer and allied verticals—providing operational insight on both existing and prospective investments. He will also advise Kedaara’s senior leadership on strategic initiatives across the firm.

Paranjpe currently serves as non-executive chairman of HUL, and sits on the boards of global firms including Heineken and Infosys, further underlining the stature he brings to the table.

His appointment signals Kedaara’s intent to deepen operational value creation as a key lever in its investment thesis across India’s high-growth consumer landscape.

Nestlé India cooks up a strong Q1 with Rs 659 crore profit and volume growth

MUMBAI: Nestlé India’s Q1 wasn’t just about instant noodles, it was an instant hit. Powered by pantry staples, caffeine cravings, and chocolate cheer, the FMCG major cooked up a Rs 5,074 crore sales recipe in the June quarter of FY26, stirring in a 5.9 per cent year-on-year growth and a net profit of Rs 659.2 crore.

From steaming cups of Nescafé to school tiffins packed with Maggi and KitKat, the company’s core brands did the heavy lifting. Seven of the top twelve brands brewed double-digit growth, fuelling overall volume-led momentum across categories. The EBITDA margin stood robust at 21.7 per cent of sales, while earnings per share for the quarter came in at Rs 6.84.

“Three of our four product groups bounced back to volume-led growth,” said outgoing Nescafé CMD Suresh Narayanan, who exits the company this month after a decade-long stint. “Maggi noodles saw double-digit growth, and our beverage and confectionery portfolios continued to perform strongly.”

And perform they did. The Powdered and Liquid Beverages segment led by Nescafé Classic, Sunrise, and Gold perked up with high double-digit growth, aided by cold coffee campaigns that clicked during the summer. Meanwhile, the Prepared Dishes and Cooking Aids category, fuelled by Maggi’s ever-spicy range (Garlic, Cheesy, Pepper, Manchurian), added more masala to the numbers.

Confectionery was another sweet spot. Kitkat emerged as the crown jewel, leading the charge in both urban and “Rurban” markets. Munch and Milkybar also saw high double-digit gains. Nestlé’s push into premium variants like Kitkat Lemon n Lime and Dark Sharebag helped expand its digital-first distribution.

Milk Products and Nutrition showed mixed results, but brands like Milkmaid and Nestlé’s growing-up milk range still gained market share. Meanwhile, breakfast cereals buoyed by the recent launch of Munch Choco Fills crunched out high double-digit growth.

Nestlé’s e-commerce channel now contributes 12.5 per cent of domestic sales, with quick commerce and newer launches proving to be the growth engines. Its Out-of-Home business think vending corners and retail kiosks continues to post double-digit growth, with over 1,000 Nescaf Corners, Maggie Hotspots and Kitkat Break Zones spread across India.

On the export front too, it was a power-packed quarter, with high double-digit growth across foods, beverages and cereals. The UK even got a taste of desi spice, with Masala-Ae-Magic officially launching there.

The business faced its share of heat: inflationary pressures pushed up costs of key commodities, and manufacturing expansion led to higher operating expenses. Finance costs rose due to short-term borrowings. But there’s relief in sight coffee, edible oil, and cocoa prices have stabilised, and milk is expected to cool with the monsoon flush.

As Narayanan passes the baton to incoming Nescafé chairman and MD Manish Tiwary from 1 August, he exits on a high note. Over the last decade, Nestlé India has reported a 150 per cent rise in sales, a 490 per cent jump in PAT, and a 3.9x increase in market capitalisation, with a 17 per cent CAGR in total shareholder return.

With a legacy that’s chocolate-dipped and noodle-tossed, Nestlé India has shown that even in a high-cost environment, flavour-packed fundamentals and strong consumer connect can serve up consistent, comforting growth.
