The brand blends self-drive expeditions with world-class hospitality, taking travellers from private F1 paddocks and Dakar rally zones to royal palaces and Michelin-starred dining tables, all wrapped in an unmistakable spirit of Indian luxury.

    “Madcap Luxe is not about itineraries, it’s about emotion engineered,” says Rannvijay Singha. “It’s for those who live boldly and want to drive their own legend.”

    The venture also introduces a second vertical, Madcap Lifestyle & Adventure IPs, with its debut property, Blackout 40, India’s first 40-hour non-stop biker festival in the deserts of Rajasthan. Designed as an immersive cultural celebration, it unites bikers, artists, and adventurers in a heady mix of music, craftsmanship and desert soul.

    “We are creating formats that go beyond festivals, these are cultural movements,” says Arvind Balan. “Blackout 40 celebrates India’s roots and modern identity in one frame.”

    Powered by experiential marketing giant Maxperience, the creative force behind 500 plus campaigns for Porsche, Hyundai, and Royal Enfield, Madcap Luxe is positioning itself as a global experiential brand built in India for the world.

    The 2026 global luxe drive calendar revs up the experience with curated international expeditions, from the Saudi Grand Drive – Dakar Edition to the Grand American Drive – Route 66 Centennial Edition. With its bespoke “Curate Your Own” journeys and “Rare Experiences” offering everything from F1 laps at Monza to desert glamping in Arabia, Madcap Luxe is redefining how India travels, where adrenaline meets elegance, and every mile tells a story.

Vedang has been tested on his gameplay skills, gaming knowledge, personality, and communication along with the other participants. As part of this role, he will take home a remuneration of Rs 10 lakh.

    Hailing from Navi Mumbai, Vedang’s journey is a story of relentless passion and perseverance. A chess prodigy in his early years, Vedang discovered gaming at age 10 and soon found himself captivated by esports. From sneaking into gaming cafés during college to representing India at international PUBG PC tournaments in Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Australia, his hustle never stopped. When he transitioned to coaching, he set out to give aspiring gamers a real shot at experiencing competitive esports. He handpicked grassroots talent and built teams from scratch, coaching them to podium finishes at top esports events. From being told he wasn’t good enough to become a sought-after leader, Vedang carved his space in a tough industry and helped others rise alongside him.

    Expressing his excitement, Vedang said, “I’m genuinely overwhelmed and grateful to be named iQOO’s new Chief Gaming Officer. When I first came across this opportunity on LinkedIn, I saw it as the perfect way to challenge myself, a chance to grow, upgrade my skills, and do something meaningful in the esports space. And the fact that it was coming from a brand like iQOO made it even more exciting. I knew I had to give it my all. I never imagined it would take me all the way here. The competition rounds were intense, and the finalists I met along the way were all incredibly talented. I’ll never forget the video call with Nipun sir congratulating me, that’s a moment I’ll always treasure. This journey has been surreal, and I’m thankful to iQOO, the jury, and everyone who believed in me. I’m excited to now take this passion forward with iQOO and give back to the community that shaped me.

    Welcoming Vedang, iQOO CEO Nipun Marya said, “This is yet another iconic moment for the Indian smartphone industry, and we are proud to welcome Vedang as our new Chief Gaming Officer.

All of us at iQOO are excited to have him join the family, and we are  confident he will make a meaningful impact in this role.”

    From competing against 80,000+ passionate gamers to impressing a power-packed jury panel featuring Nipun Marya, Rannvijay Singha, Payal Gaming (Payal Dhare), and 8bit Thug (Animesh Agarwal), Vedang has emerged as the winner of CGO 2.0. As CGO, Vedang will work closely with iQOO’s leadership, offering insights to enhance the smartphone gaming experience and  connect with the esports ecosystem. The position will also give him the opportunity to collaborate with top gamers across India and earn a prize of Rs 10 lakhs.

  • Bombay Shaving Company ropes in Rannvijay Singha as the face of its trimmer range

    Bombay Shaving Company ropes in Rannvijay Singha as the face of its trimmer range

    Mumbai: Bombay Shaving Company (BSC) has signed Rannvijay Singha in an exclusive endorsement deal. The grooming brand has also introduced a video-led campaign, “Take It From The Experts.” The campaign video was directed and executed by Bandstand Entertainment.

    Singha will be the face and spokesperson of Bombay Shaving Company’s latest range of trimmer products starting this month. The announcement comes right on the heels of the company’s lucrative association with the Mumbai Indians earlier this year. It clearly demonstrates the brand’s intent to go all-in to revolutionise men’s grooming in the country.

    The engagement with Rannvijay kickstarts with an exciting and irreverent marketing campaign for BSC’s latest range of men’s trimmers. In the video-led campaign, confidently titled “Take It From The Experts,” Rannvijay will be seen enabling and urging the youth to make better grooming choices by trusting the expertise of Bombay Shaving Company instead of falling for the gimmicks of non-core grooming brands operating in the category.

    Speaking of his association with the brand, Rannvijay said, “Thanks to the nature of my work, I’ve had the good fortune of spending a lot of time with the youth of this country. I’ve seen firsthand how confidence changes lives for many. A lot of that self-confidence is derived from looking and feeling good. That’s why they deserve grooming solutions driven by expertise. I’ve been an avid user of Bombay Shaving Company’s trimmers for some time and can personally vouch for the thought and attention to detail that goes into their products. It’s a pleasure and privilege to be associated with them.”

    Commenting on the partnership, Bombay Shaving Company chief operating officer Deepak Gupta added, “We have an extremely optimistic outlook on the trimmer category per se, and are superbly placed in terms of product innovation and equity to serve it well. Starting September, and in the following months, we’re poised to scale to three times our current volumes, and seriously challenge current incumbents. More substantially, we believe that unwanted hair removal creates the biggest delta in the perception of self-image and appearance, and we are committed to becoming the brand of choice whenever a 15-year-old is ready for his first shave or trim. The association with Rannvijay – someone an entire generation looks up to – becomes even more meaningful from this perspective.”

    “Very few understand the hopes and aspirations of a young generation of men better than Rannvijay. We are delighted to have him on board not only as the face of the trimmer range, but perhaps even as a guide and inspiration for our activities to come. We are going to market with a range of trimmers that score high on design, performance, value, and other nuanced features based on deep learning as grooming experts. We’re confident Rannvijay will convey our proposition with substance and impact to over two crore Indians across metros and non-metros in the months to come,” said Bombay Shaving Company vice president of marketing Laalit Lobo.

    Elaborating on creative execution, Bombay Shaving Campaign creative director Broti Roychoudhury commented, “The problem statement was clear. Trimmers as a category demand a grooming expert’s presence and voice. “Take It From The Experts” makes the point with clarity, conviction and chutzpah, i.e., palatable to a younger (gen Z and millennial) audience. The tone and treatment is deliberately eclectic and quirky, which distinguishes it from regular category codes, with clear impact moments that viewers will recall. And I’m so happy that Rannvijay hopped on without hesitation and added his own unique flavour to the campaign. Now we’re all set to deploy it in many interesting ways across online and offline channels.”
