    TSS dishes out a festive feast of cookware and toys this Diwali

    MUMBAI: This Diwali, The Stone Sapphire India Pvt. Ltd. (TSS) is laying out a spread of innovation, celebration and everyday magic and it’s all wrapped up in a shiny new product lineup across homeware and toys. Whether you’re hosting a grand family dinner or chasing superheroes around the living room, TSS has something that might just become the talk of your Diwali gathering.

    Leading the charge is Corelle, the globally loved dinnerware brand, which is offering a never-before festive deal on its iconic dinner sets. Priced from Rs 6,599 onwards, this is the first time Corelle has dropped its price tags in India and it’s doing so to support good old-fashioned in-store shopping. While online discounts continue to battle for attention, TSS is taking a stand for traditional retailers, encouraging consumers to rediscover the joy of festive browsing in their local markets. With elegant designs, unbeatable durability, and that signature lightweight feel, Corelle dinner sets are now easier to gift or keep than ever before.

    But it’s not just the table getting a glow-up. Corelle is also setting new standards in the kitchen with the launch of Duranano: the world’s only uncoated non-stick cookware. Crafted using patented Nano Technology and made from 100 per cent pure stainless steel, Duranano skips the chemical coatings altogether. The result? Cookware that’s 1.5 million times more abrasion-resistant and 3.5 times tougher than your regular stainless steel pans. It’s the kind of gear that says “I care about your health” while still making sure your festive ladoos don’t stick. In a season where indulgence is inevitable, Duranano makes a strong case for clean, conscious cooking, without taking the fun out of frying.

    Over in toy territory, TSS’s homegrown brand Skoodle is giving Diwali gifting a superhero-sized upgrade. Enter the Marvel RC cars & bikes series, featuring officially licensed designs that bring the action straight to your living room. From rugged monster trucks to sleek superhero bikes, these remote-controlled rides combine speed, style and storylines kids already love. Whether you’re shopping for a young fan or secretly hoping for a go at the controls yourself, this range promises festive excitement with every rev of the engine.

    Speaking about the launches, TSS managing director and CEO Shobhit Singh summed up the season’s spirit, “This Diwali, our focus is on innovation with purpose, introducing products that enhance everyday living while supporting India’s trusted retail ecosystem.” It’s a sentiment that runs through every offering in the TSS catalogue this year, thoughtful, well-crafted and rooted in real-world usefulness, but with just enough sparkle to feel special.

    Bhartiya Mall of Bengaluru adds 16 new brands in six months of growth

    MUMBAI: Bhartiya Mall of Bengaluru, the city’s premier lifestyle and shopping destination, has strengthened its retail portfolio with 16 brand launches in just six months, marking an impressive phase of growth and curation. The latest to join its expanding lineup is The Souled Store, one of India’s most popular homegrown D2C apparel and lifestyle brands.

    With its quirky, pop-culture-inspired aesthetic and officially licensed merchandise from Marvel, Disney, DC, Harry Potter, and Friends, The Souled Store brings an immersive, experience-led space to Bhartiya Mall’s fashion floor: one designed for millennial and Gen Z shoppers who crave creativity, comfort, and self-expression.

    The Souled Store joins a vibrant lineup of recent entrants including Shobitam, Peachmode, Biglilpeople, Indyvarna, Hush Puppies, Frangipani (featuring Chumbak, Imara, Voylla, and Abhishti), and Zoul & Zera.

  • Mythik names Sid Kedia COO to drive its ‘Disney from the East’ vision

    Mythik names Sid Kedia COO to drive its ‘Disney from the East’ vision

    MUMBAI: From Marvel fan to myth-maker, Sidharth Kedia is now set to script his own epic. Entertainment start-up Mythik, which has declared its ambition to be the “Disney from the East,” has appointed the seasoned media and gaming leader as its new chief operating officer. Kedia isn’t just another boardroom name, his résumé reads like a saga of scaling. At Nodwin, South Asia’s largest esports company, he grew revenue 10x, expanded the business from 1 to 8 countries, raised 50 million dollars, and boosted valuation a staggering 28x. At Jiogames, he spearheaded the growth of Reliance’s gaming arm. As chief strategy officer at Viacom18, he helped expand regional TV and strengthened OTT play.

    His career highlights also include leading Mukesh Ambani’s project management office during Jio’s telecom launch, overseeing Network18’s integration into Reliance, and co-founding Ambit Pragma Ventures, where he raised 150 million dollars for media and entertainment investments.

    Armed with a Chartered Accountancy degree, a six sigma black belt from GE, and an MBA from NYU’s Stern School of Business, Kedia brings both precision and creative flair to the role.

    Mythik’s founder and CEO Jason Kothari, called Kedia a “rare combination of disruptive strategist and operator” with the breadth to reimagine how Eastern mythology can capture global audiences.

    For Kedia, the mission is personal. “Since childhood, I’ve been captivated by these stories my grandparents told me. As a Marvel fan, I’ve often wondered why our superheroes never got the global spotlight they deserve. We plan to change that at Mythik,” he said.

    With Kedia at the operational helm, Mythik isn’t just betting on myth, it’s gearing up to make Eastern legends the next big pop-culture phenomenon.

  • Disney showcases perfect marriage of creativity and tech at shareholder meeting

    Disney showcases perfect marriage of creativity and tech at shareholder meeting

    MUMBAI: The Walt Disney Co held its 2025 annual shareholder meeting on Thursday, with boss Bob Iger waxing lyrical about the firm’s “perfect marriage of exceptional creativity and groundbreaking technological achievement” which, he insisted, “has always set Disney apart.”

    “Since the company’s earliest years under Walt, technology has always been viewed as a powerful storytelling tool, and innovation has been in our DNA since the start,” Iger declared in a video message from Walt Disney Imagineering’s headquarters in Glendale, California.

    In a move that would make even Darth Vader crack a smile, Iger was joined by a flock of BDX droids—the same mechanical marvels that have been harassing guests at Disneyland—which will soon make their silver screen debut in The Mandalorian and Grogu, next year’s highly anticipated Star Wars cash cow.

    The mouse house enjoyed a whopper of a year at the global box office in 2024, with Iger crowing about its  “outstanding” performance following a reorganisation that “restored creativity to the centre of our studios.”
    The company’s popular franchises brought home the bacon, with Pixar’s Inside Out 2, Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine, and Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Moana 2 claiming the top three spots at the box office. Talk about a triple threat.

    Disney’s critical success was equally impressive. “Our renewed focus on quality over quantity has also resulted in outstanding critical success,” Iger boasted, noting that the company bagged a whopping 60 Emmy Awards, led by Shogun and The Bear. The firm also scooped 15 Oscar nominations, with Kieran Culkin winning Best Supporting Actor for his turn in Searchlight Pictures’ A Real Pain.

    Looking ahead, Iger dropped a bombshell: a sequel to Coco, Pixar’s 2017 Academy Award-winning tearjerker, is in the works. “While the film is just in the initial stages, we know it will be full of humour, heart, and adventure,” he said, no doubt sending Mickey-shaped dollar signs spinning in shareholders’ eyes.

    The Disney chief was keen to remind everyone that all these cinematic delights “will all be accessible on Disney+,” expanding the firm’s “rich library of a century’s worth of storytelling.”

    “By giving subscribers the option to watch what they love most from across the worlds of Disney, all in one place, we are turning Disney+ into the ultimate streaming destination,” Iger declared.

    With the recent additions of Hulu and ESPN tiles on Disney+, the company has created what Iger calls a “seamless streaming experience” that is “both convenient and user-friendly.” And when ESPN’s new direct-to-consumer offering launches in early autumn, subscribers can access the full suite of ESPN’s networks from inside Disney+. How thoughtful.

    Turning to Disney’s Experiences segment, Iger was practically bursting with excitement. “Last year we talked about our plans to turbocharge growth in this segment through strategic investments. Today I’m proud to share some of what we’ve been up to,” he gushed. “Right now, we have more projects underway around the world than at any time in our history.”

    The Magic Kingdom is undergoing its largest expansion ever, including a new area inspired by Cars and a much-anticipated Villains-themed land where guests can presumably pay $15 for a villain-themed ice cream while queuing for three hours.

    A Monsters Inc. themed land is coming to Hollywood Studios, featuring the company’s first-ever vertical lift coaster (guaranteed to make your wallet feel lighter than your stomach). Meanwhile, a new Tropical Americas land is headed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, with attractions based on Encanto and Indiana Jones.

    Disney Cruise Line is also expanding, which will allow the company to “double our capacity to reach millions more people around the world,” according to Iger. Because nothing says “magical experience” like being trapped on a boat with thousands of screaming children wearing Mickey ears.

    Iger also took time to highlight Disney’s charitable efforts, noting that in the wake of the devastating wildfires in Southern California, the company committed $15 million to recovery efforts.

    “We remain the No. 1 wish-granter in the world for children facing critical illness, and on average Disney grants a child’s wish every hour of every day,” he said, temporarily making even the most cynical shareholders feel warm and fuzzy.

    Iger concluded his remarks by returning to technology: “Thanks to modern technology, there’s never been a better time to be a storyteller,” he said.

    Or, indeed, a Disney shareholder.

  • Bob Chapek exits Disney; Bob Iger returns as CEO for two more years

    Bob Chapek exits Disney; Bob Iger returns as CEO for two more years

    Mumbai: US and global media conglomerate Disney has announced that Robert A. Iger is returning to lead Disney as CEO, effective immediately. Iger, who spent more than four decades at the company, including 15 years from 2005-2020 as its CEO, has agreed to serve as Disney’s CEO for two years, with a mandate from the board to set the strategic direction for renewed growth and to work closely with the board in developing a successor to lead the company at the completion of his term. Iger succeeds Bob Chapek, who has stepped down from his position. Chapek spent less than three years as CEO. Chapek’s contract had been extended in June 2022 for three years. The earlier contract had been scheduled to expire in February 2023.

    “We thank Bob Chapek for his service to Disney over his long career, including navigating the company through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic. The board has concluded that as Disney embarks on an increasingly complex period of industry transformation, Bob Iger is uniquely situated to lead the company through this pivotal period,” said The Walt Disney Co. chairman of the board Susan E. Arnold. “Iger has the deep respect of Disney’s senior leadership team, most of whom he worked closely with until his departure as executive chairman 11 months ago, and he is greatly admired by Disney employees worldwide—all of which will allow for a seamless transition of leadership.”

    The position of chairman of the board remains unchanged, with Arnold serving in that capacity.

    “I am extremely optimistic for the future of this great company and thrilled to be asked by the board to return as its CEO. Disney and its incomparable brands and franchises hold a special place in the hearts of so many people around the globe—most especially in the hearts of our employees, whose dedication to this company and its mission is an inspiration. I am deeply honoured to be asked to lead this extraordinary team once more, with a clear mission focused on creative excellence to inspire generations through unparalleled, bold storytelling,” Iger said.

    During his 15-year stint with Disney, Iger helped build Disney into one of the world’s most successful and admired media and entertainment companies with a strategic vision focused on creative excellence, technological innovation, and international growth. He expanded on Disney’s legacy of storytelling with the acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox and increased the company’s market capitalization fivefold during his time as CEO. Iger continued to direct Disney’s creative endeavours until his departure as executive chairman last December, and the company’s pipeline of content is a testament to his leadership and vision.

  • Marvel’s ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ promo features Neeraj Chopra

    Marvel’s ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ promo features Neeraj Chopra

    Mumbai: Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra is featured in the upcoming Marvel film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s promotional teaser. He has joined the fight for Wakanda to unleash the true essence of being a warrior and fighting for one’s country. Embodying the very spirit of the celebrated Wakandan superhero, Neeraj Chopra’s journey from his humble beginnings to achieving the coveted Olympic gold has truly been inspiring and nothing short of extraordinary!

    The promotional video shows Neeraj Chopra dropping from a high-tech portal opening in the roof, landing on his feet and clenching his javelin tight. He then picks up the pace, gathering momentum to throw the javelin. When he does aim it, the javelin flies, transitioning into a spear and piercing the surface of a road. From here, the video seamlessly connects to the hair-raising trailer of Wakanda Forever. A background voice can be heard saying “dikha denge unhe ke hum kaun hai” in the promo.

    Speaking on how Black Panther has been inspirational for him to associate with, Neeraj Chopra said, “Black Panther is about a fierce warrior, a hero who is willing to give everything to fight for his people and his country. As an athlete, representing India is our biggest opportunity, and we give our best shot and fight till the end. I’m truly overjoyed that I can be a part of this journey, and just like Black Panther, I hope to inspire people around the globe to never give up on their dreams. Being a huge Marvel fan, I just cannot wait to watch the film and discover the new journey of Wakanda!”

  • D23 Expo 2022: Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Studios showcase upcoming offerings

    D23 Expo 2022: Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Studios showcase upcoming offerings

    Mumbai: At the recently concluded Disney fan event, D23 Expo 2022 in Anaheim, California Lucasfilm, Marvel Studios and 20th Century Studios made presentations.

    The Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Bergman reflected on the 13-year history of D23 Expo—as well as the evolution of the Studios group. “That [first] year, none of the iconic studios you’ll hear from today were part of the company. It was just Disney Animation, Disney Live Action, and Pixar. We announced the Marvel acquisition just before our first expo in 2009. Then three years later, we added Lucasfilm, and in 2019, 20th Century Studios. I’ve been at Disney for 26 years, so it’s been incredibly exciting to welcome each of them to our studio family. And like Disney and Pixar, each of these studios has a phenomenal legacy of storytelling,” Bergman explained.

    Lucasfilm: Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy introduced the content line-up. The movie “Indiana Jones 5” will be released next year on 30 June 2023. She welcomed the film’s director, James Mangold, who shared details and first-look footage from the upcoming fifth instalment of the “Indiana Jones” franchise. Kennedy and Mangold were joined on stage by the film’s stars, Harrison Ford and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. “Thank you for making these films such an incredible experience for all of us. I’m very proud to say that this one is fantastic, and [Waller-Bridge] is one of the reasons.”

    “”Indiana Jones” movies are about fantasy and mystery, but they’re also about heart… I’m really, really happy that we have a really human story to tell, as well as a movie that will kick your [butt],” said an emotional Ford. This is the first “Indiana Jones” movie that will not be directed by Steven Spielberg.

    Andor is a 24-episode spy thriller. The era featured in Andor—the five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story—is filled with danger, deception, and intrigue, where Cassian Andor will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero. Much to the delight of the assembled crowd, Luna and his co stars unveiled a final trailer for the series.

    The series presents Star Wars from a different perspective, focusing on everyday people whose lives are affected by the empire. The decisions they make have real consequences, and the stakes for them—and the galaxy—couldn’t be higher. The series debuts with three episodes on Disney+ on 21 September.

    Meanwhile, Willow is a live-action fantasy-adventure series that returns to the world of Andowyne that we first met in the 1988 feature film (directed by Ron Howard and produced by Disney Legend George Lucas). Set in a magical world where brownies, sorcerers, trolls, and other mystical creatures flourish, Willow is the story of an unlikely group of heroes who set off on a dangerous quest, facing their inner demons and coming together to save their world. An epic period fantasy told with a modern sensibility and plenty of humour and heart, Willow begins streaming on Disney+ on 30 November.

    Kennedy welcomed Dave Filoni, who shared a host of Star Wars-related announcements. First, Filoni showed a new image from the upcoming 16-episode second season of the animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Months have passed since the events on Kamino, and the Bad Batch continue their journey, navigating the empire after the fall of the republic. They’ll cross paths with friends and foes, both new and familiar, as they take on a variety of thrilling mercenary missions that will take them to unexpected and dangerous new places. The series will begin streaming on Disney+ with a two-episode premiere on 4 January, 2023.

    Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi comprises six brand-new animated shorts featuring parables built around Jedi from the prequel era. Journey into the lives of two very different Jedi—Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku—who will be tested as they make decisions that will shape their destinies. Filoni delighted the audience by sharing an official trailer for the shorts. All six shorts will debut on 26 October on Disney+.

    Filoni shared with Hall D23 how much the character of Ahsoka means to him—having crafted her story from her 2008 debut in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars through her live-action debut in The Mandalorian. Ahsoka is a new live-action series heading to Disney+, starring Rosario Dawson in the title role. Set after the fall of the empire, Ahsoka follows the former Jedi knight Ahsoka Tano as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy. The new series is slated for 2023 and will be exclusive to Disney+.

    Star Wars: Skeleton Crew coming soon on Disney+. Skeleton Crew tells the story of four kids who find themselves lost in the vastness of the galaxy trying to find their way home.

    Meanwhile in the third season of The Mandalorian, the Mandalorian and Grogu have been reunited and continue their journey through the lawless galaxy. Season three is set to launch exclusively on Disney+ next year.

    Marvel Studios: Marvel Studios producer, president Kevin Feige detailed several recent announcements, including the Multiverse Saga—the conclusion of Phase 4, the Phase 5 slate, and the Phase 6 titles that include “Fantastic Four” and two new “Avengers” films: “The Kang Dynasty” and “Secret Wars.”

    “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” releases in theatres on 11 November.

    Ironheart is a series that takes place after the events of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” The new series is slated for Disney+ in 2023.

    Feige then officially kicked off Phase five of the MCU with “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” Hitting theatres on 17 February 2023, the film connects to “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,” Feige announced.

    Feige then announced Marvel Studios’ first-ever special presentation, created for this “Halloween: Werewolf by Night,” directed by music composer Michael Giacchino who Disney said is also an accomplished filmmaker. The special starts streaming on Disney+ this October 7.

    Secret Invasion is a new event series that showcases a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls who have been infiltrating earth for years.

    Loki season two picks up in the aftermath of the shocking season finale when Loki finds himself in a battle for the soul of the Time Variance Authority. The new season streams on Disney+ next year.

    Feige has also officially confirmed that Matt Shakman—who directed every episode of 2021’s WandaVision and who was in the Hall D23 audience—would be directing “Fantastic Four.” The film opens in theatres on 8 November, 2024.

    Echo is a new series. In the show Maya Lopez’ ruthless behaviour in New York City (after the events in Disney+’s “Hawkeye”) catches up with her in her hometown.

    Daredevil: Born Again is an 18-episode Disney+ series. Production has not yet started on the show.

    A movie “Captain America: New World Order,” continues Sam Wilson’s journey as Captain America and comes to theatres in 2024. “Thunderbolts” opens in theatres on 26 July, 2024.

    Finally, Feige wrapped the Marvel Studios portion by revisiting key moments in the MCU before welcoming to the stage director Nia DaCosta and The Marvels cast members Iman Vellani (Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel), Teyonah Parris (Monica Rambeau), and Brie Larson (Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel). Fans were given a look at scenes from the new movie, which opens in theatres on 28 July, 2023.  

    20th Century Studios:  Bergman then returned to the stage to introduce—via Zoom from New Zealand—Oscar-winning producer/director Cameron, director of the upcoming “Avatar: The Way of Water.” He’s hard at work finishing the film—the highly anticipated sequel to the biggest film of all time, “Avatar”—so he couldn’t join the D23 Expo in person. But the film’s producer, Jon Landau, helped welcome returning cast members Sam Worthington (Jake Sully), Zoe Saldaña (Neytiri), Sigourney Weaver (Kiri), and Stephen Lang (Colonel Miles Quaritch)—plus new-generation cast members Jamie Flatters (Neteyam), Jack Champion (Spider), Bailey Bass (Tsireya), and Trinity Jo-Li Bliss (Tuk)—before the audience was treated to several scenes from the new film! Fans were invited to don a pair of Dolby 3D glasses (a Hall D23 first!) to get fully immersed in the brand-new footage.
