    Today Group hits a six with Gen Z as Kiara Powar bats for cricket

    MUMBAI: India’s most cherished sport just got a youthful twist, thanks to a pitch-perfect collaboration between Today Group, one of Navi Mumbai’s leading real estate players, and Kiara Powar, India’s youngest sports presenter. Their digital series Bat, Ball, aur Baatein is giving cricket commentary a Gen Z glow-up, combining fandom and format to serve cricket content in sharp, engaging, bite-sized pieces.

    Kiara Powar, a former badminton player turned sports content creator, has already made waves with her fresh take on sports storytelling. Now with Today Group backing her innings, she’s stepping up the pace. The series cleverly moves away from traditional long-form commentary, instead opting for quick, relatable content designed to catch the scroll-happy attention of young audiences.

    Commenting on this collaboration, Today Group joint managing director Bhavesh Shah said, “Today Group’s constant endeavor is to empower the younger generation, whether it be in the form of giving them their own home or in the form of promoting young talent, such as Kiara. Platforms like hers have tapped into the pulse of this demographic, and as a brand, collaborations like this allow us to make a mark on and appeal to all audiences.”

    Kiara Powar, the host of Bat, Ball, aur Baatein about the collaboration said, “I started this series with one simple goal: share my love for cricket in a way that would get my peers excited for the sport just as I am. With Today Group, the boost the series got has been phenomenal!”

    Since its rebranding in January 2025, Today Group has been all about future-forward initiatives. This collaboration with Kiara speaks volumes about its commitment to connecting authentically with the younger generation not just through homes and infrastructure, but also through shared cultural touchpoints like sport.

    Bat, Ball, aur Baatein is more than just a series, it’s a sign that cricket is evolving with its audience, and brands like Today Group are batting alongside Gen Z to keep the game going strong.  
     

  • Kiara Powar launches #InsulinSeMatDaro campaign for diabetes awareness

    Kiara Powar launches #InsulinSeMatDaro campaign for diabetes awareness

    Mumbai: Kiara Powar, an 18-year-old content creator, launches her impactful campaign titled #InsulinSeMatDaro, aligning with National Diabetes Month (1-30 November 2024) and World Diabetes Day (November 14, 2024). With a focus on the theme diabetes and well-being, as set by the International Diabetes Federation, the campaign takes a comprehensive look at living with diabetes, encompassing physical, mental, and social well-being.

    Throughout November, Kiara will host conversations with prominent figures such as The Indian Academy of Diabetes, president, Shashank Joshi and a global integrative lifestyle expert, Luke Coutinho. These discussions will explore the far-reaching impacts of diabetes and provide essential insights for patients and caregivers. A crucial aspect of the #InsulinSeMatDaro campaign is debunking myths about insulin usage and advocating for its role in diabetes care. Kiara emphasises equitable access to diabetes medication and plans a crowdfunding initiative to provide subsidised medication to those in need.

    Joshi highlighted the campaign’s relevance, stating, “When it comes to Type 2 diabetes, a contemporary, facts-based and lifestyle-oriented approach can not only make management simpler, but also contributes to overall physical and mental wellbeing. The healthcare ecosystem is making significant strides to better understand the causative factors and offer timely, supportive solutions to make diabetes care easier and more effective. Type 1 diabetics need insulin throughout their lifetime, as well as lifestyle modulation. There’s where Kiara’s campaign is a timely push to urge people to take control of their own health whether or not they have been diagnosed with diabetes and to make the necessary lifestyle changes that will contribute to an enhanced quality of life.”

    Coutinho shared his support: “I am so proud of Kiara for dedicating her platform and voice to spread awareness about diabetes, the burden of which is being felt by India and even the world, at large. By diving deep into the causative factors, as well as the role of a holistic, lifestyle-based approach to diabetes care, this campaign can be transformative for so many millions of diabetics and pre-diabetics. Information is empowerment, and her campaign and relentless efforts are certain to empower and transform lives.”

    Reflecting on her personal journey, Powar stated, “Living with diabetes since the age of 2, I have witnessed first-hand the numerous challenges starting with accurate diagnosis, to a supportive social ecosystem, to receiving the necessary information to safeguard my physical and mental wellbeing. Although I was fortunate to have a very supportive family, I recognise that many others may not have the access or resources that I did. This is my endeavour to pay it forward and to help make the journey a bit easier and less fearful for diabetics.”

    The #InsulinSeMatDaro campaign will be available on Powar’s Instagram and YouTube platforms.

    MOM launches its latest campaign featuring Kiara Powar

    Mumbai: Meal of the Moment (MOM), a brand specializing in reimagining familiar foods in convenient formats, announced its latest campaign executed by marketing agency BackBenchers Digital. The brand has collaborated with Kiara Powar, India’s youngest sportscaster and ‘voice of diabetes’, to raise awareness about healthy snacking among teens and young adults.

She advocates for mindful lifestyle choices to prevent lifestyle diseases and educates her audience about healthful alternatives.

This paves the way for numerous lifestyle diseases including diabetes. Growing up with diabetes, I have had to be especially careful about what I eat and how it affects my health. The ethos underlying Meal of the Moment (MOM) products resonated perfectly with me, as the brand encourages healthy snacking. I hope this collaboration helps to bring the necessary awareness to India’s youth and encourages them to be more conscious about their nutrition.”

    “Kiara’s inclusion in this campaign is symbolic of our brand’s commitment to creating and popularising products for those who are in dire need of mindful, healthful food choices. Her educational and relatable content was perfectly aligned with our own approach, while her growing popularity with youngsters is a step towards helping us to reach out to Generation Next, and make a tangible difference,” said MOM’s head of marketing & e-commerce Siddharth Agarwal.

    “When we were ideating this campaign, Kiara Powar was a natural choice. Her content is being well-received by her audience and she stands out to many as a role model, who is forging her career as India’s youngest sportscaster, even as she is emerging as a fierce diabetes educator. Her dynamic presence and mindful approach to content make her the right fit for this brand and our campaign. We are eagerly awaiting the audience’s response to seeing Kiara in this avatar,” said BackBenchers Digital co-founder Aditya Singh.
