    Listerine joins KKR as official mouthwash partner for IPL 2025

    MUMBAI: Listerine, has announced its official partnership with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for IPL 2025, bringing a refreshing twist to the cricketing season. With over 95 per cent of adults in India suffering from cavities, according to the World Health Organization, this collaboration aims to highlight the crucial role of mouthwash in daily oral care routines.

    KKR, one of IPL’s most popular franchises, is known for its spirit of excellence, teamwork, and passion qualities that align perfectly with Listerine’s mission to promote better oral health. Through this partnership, Listerine will leverage KKR’s massive fan base to raise awareness about preventive oral care, encouraging fans to swish their way to a healthier mouth.

    Kenvue business unit head-essential health & skin health & oral care & VP marketing Manoj Gadgil said, “We are thrilled to partner with KKR, a team that resonates with millions of fans across India. In India, oral care is often neglected as part of the overall health regime, being largely curative rather than preventive. This collaboration presents a unique opportunity for us to engage with cricket enthusiasts to highlight the significance of a comprehensive oral care regime by brushing and swishing with a mouthwash as part of their daily routine as well as when on-the-go to ensure holistic oral care. With Listerine, germs will get clean bowled, one swish at a time!”

    Listerine will feature prominently across KKR’s marketing campaigns, offering fans engaging content, promotions, and interactive experiences both on and off the field.

    This partnership is more than just about cricket it’s about fostering a culture of oral wellness. With Listerine, fans can ensure their oral hygiene is match-ready, allowing them to cheer for their favourite team with confidence.

  • Embassy Services runs a road safety awareness campaign

    Embassy Services runs a road safety awareness campaign

    India accounts for 12 per cent of the world’s road deaths. In 2018 alone, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that almost 300,000 people died due to road accidents in the country. This number remains astonishingly high in comparison to other countries where the use of motor vehicles is much higher. The impact of human life loss is enormous, especially on the economy. A World Bank study has found that if India successfully reduces half of road deaths and injuries between 2014 and 2038, it could add 14 per cent to its GDP per capita. Unfortunately, the unprivileged are drastically affected by the after impact of vehicular accidents. Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, usually hailing from the low and middle-income strata, account for more than 50 per cent of the road traffic deaths in India.

    Road accidents affect people’s lives and often drive them to poverty. Awareness on Road accidents should be a multi-sectorial effort that involves law enforcement, governance, (the issue of driving licenses and vehicle registration), engineering (appropriate road design) and post-accident trauma care and management. On the occasion of 31st road safety awareness week aligned with the UN mandate, the Government conducted a road safety awareness campaign in India seeking support from all its citizens and big businesses. The motto this year was “Bringing change through youth power.” Embassy Services Pvt. Ltd. (ESPL), the leading IFM company organized a week-long road safety awareness program communicating safety messages through collateral and across all their office parks. They marked the final day on 22 January in Manyata Business Park amphitheater with a bike rally and by inviting traffic police on-board to help and educate every road traveller with their safety awareness presentations.
