    Zouk packs a punch with a hilarious Diwali twist

    MUMBAI: Looks like this Diwali, men are finally unburdening their pockets! Zouk, the proudly Indian and vegan lifestyle brand, has rolled out a witty festive campaign that turns a familiar household joke into a clever gifting idea.

    We’ve all seen it, the brother, husband or father weighed down with everyone else’s keys, phones and lip balms, all because “her outfit doesn’t have pockets.” Zouk’s new film spins this everyday comedy into a relatable story of one man’s lightbulb moment, this Diwali, he gifts Zouk bags to his wife and sister, solving the problem once and for all.

    Full of humour and festive warmth, the campaign gently nudges viewers to see bags not just as accessories but as thoughtful, practical gifts that carry meaning long after the lights go out.

    “The festive season brings families together and with it come those uniquely Indian moments, like men being handed random things to hold,” said Zouk founder Disha Singh. “Our film captures that truth with humour. A Zouk bag doesn’t just solve the ‘no pocket’ problem; it’s a meaningful festive gift.”

    Beyond the film, Zouk has launched The Big Bag Festival, a curated gifting experience featuring festive combos and collaboration-led boxes with Palmonas, Bombay Sweet Shop and Renee Cosmetics. And for the last-minute shopper, Zouk’s products are now just a click away on Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, Blinkit, Flipkart Minutes and Myntra M-now.

    Blending tradition with functionality, Zouk continues to celebrate modern Indian households with its vegan, stylish and thoughtful designs. This Diwali, it seems the smartest gift you can give her, is a little less for him to carry.

  • Google’s quick move to boost brand sales with Commerce Media Suite

    Google’s quick move to boost brand sales with Commerce Media Suite

    MUMBAI: When it comes to India’s shopping habits, “add to cart” is now often followed by “arrives in 10 minutes” and Google is making sure brands don’t miss the ride. The tech giant has launched its Commerce Media Suite, an AI-powered solution designed to help brands and merchants tap into the surging quick commerce and e-commerce markets. The suite works through Google Ads, letting advertisers reach high-intent shoppers across Search, Shopping, Youtube, Display, Discover, and Gmail, directing them straight to product listings on marketplaces like Blinkit, Swiggy, Zepto, and Myntra.

    The timing is no accident with the festive season around the corner, competition for eyeballs (and wallets) is fierce. “Today, consumers demand immediacy and convenience, clearly demonstrated by the rise of quick commerce,” said Google India director for omni-channel businesses Bhaskar Ramesh. “Commerce Media Suite opens fresh pathways for discovery across Google and Youtube, driving stronger results for brands during peak demand seasons.”

    Early adopters are already seeing gains worth bragging about. ITC Aashirvaad Select clocked a 4x return on ad spend on Blinkit, while Renee Cosmetics reported an 11.5 per cent bump in sales and a 48 per cent drop in cost per order.

    For Blinkit, the solution is a match made in delivery heaven. “Google’s Commerce Media Suite offers brands a significant opportunity to cut through the noise and connect with the modern consumer,” said Blinkit director of ad monetisation and pricing Anish Acharya calling it a “game-changer” ahead of the festive rush.

    Beyond just reach, brands get Google AI-driven performance, first-party marketplace data, product-level measurement, and self-service transparency effectively marrying campaign spend to actual sales impact.

    Or as Renee Cosmetics head of eCommerce Jitendra Rawal put it: “It’s allowed us to efficiently connect with customers looking for our products and significantly drive incremental sales.”

    With India’s quick commerce sector in overdrive, Google’s latest play might just help brands click with customers in more ways than one.

     

  • Zouk’s Rakhi film shows support is as simple as holding her bag

    Zouk’s Rakhi film shows support is as simple as holding her bag

     MUMBAI: Turns out the most meaningful Rakhi gift this year… might just be a man holding a handbag. Zouk, the proudly Indian and 100 per cent cruelty-free lifestyle brand, has dropped a refreshingly emotional campaign for Rakshabandhan swapping swords and shields for something far more subtle: support in the form of a small but significant gesture.

    The brand film taps into a universal scene, one we’ve all witnessed, chuckled at, or starred in. A brother, boyfriend, or dad awkwardly clutching a handbag outside a store, waiting patiently. Zouk flips this from comic relief to cultural shift, showing how modern sibling bonds are less about protection and more about partnership. In the film, a brother holds his sister’s bag not because she asks, but because she’s chasing something bigger and he’s cheering her on, bag in hand.

    “Raksha Bandhan is about protection and support,” said Zouk founder Disha Singh. “But today, support doesn’t mean standing in front of someone, it means standing beside them. This film is a gentle reminder that even something as small as holding her bag can say: ‘I’m here for you.’”

    But the campaign doesn’t stop at emotion, it brings the festive feels to Zouk’s shelves too. In tandem with the film, Zouk has launched a vibrant line of curated Rakhi gift boxes, all wrapped in the brand’s signature prints.

    Each box includes functional and feel-good accessories like coasters, fabric diaries, bookmarks, passport covers, cosmetic pouches, and more. The idea? Gifting that’s both thoughtful and practical, something sisters (and their discerning brothers) will genuinely use and love.

    To sweeten the pot literally Zouk has partnered with top Indian brands like Bombay Sweet Shop, Renee Cosmetics, Gul, and Mcaffeine to co-create exclusive hampers that hit all the right festive notes. Whether it’s the aroma of artisanal skincare or the nostalgia of desi mithai, these gift sets are designed to deliver delight in every layer.

    Available now via Zouk’s Gift Shop, the festive campaign is more than just a seasonal play. It continues Zouk’s core storytelling style rooted in Indian values, aesthetically sharp, and emotionally resonant.

    So, this Rakshabandhan, forget the drama of macho posturing. Sometimes, the most touching brother-sister moment is quiet, simple and slung over the arm.
