kiki

Mumbai, 28th August 2025: Continuing its journey to redefine contemporary luxury with innovation, Akiki London, the newly launched handbag label by Bagzone Lifestyles Pvt. Ltd., has announced a unique collaboration with acclaimed Indian artist Jayesh Sachdev, represented by Mumbai based Tao Art Gallery. This creative alliance introduces KIKI – a hand-sculpted British Bulldog that now serves as the official mascot and brand muse for Akiki London.

Standing four feet tall and wrapped in high-gloss red-and-white camouflage with chrome accents and oversized black shades, KIKI embodies Akiki’s spirited aesthetic – bold, cheeky, and unapologetically expressive. Designed exclusively for the retail space, the sculpture is more than decor; it is a symbol of Akiki’s artistic ethos, where fashion, personality, and storytelling converge.

“KIKI is a hand-sculpted British Bulldog, brought to life in my signature pop-surrealist style, playful and polished. Wrapped in bold red-and-white camo with chrome accents and oversized shades, he blends art with luxury. As with all my work, KIKI is more than form, he embodies personality, presence, and provocation. A mascot, yes. But also a piece of contemporary art.” says Jayesh Sachdev, celebrated for his pop-surrealist and sculptural style.

Sachdev’s work has long existed at the intersection of aesthetic experimentation and commentary. With KIKI, his signature style finds new expression through a sculptural piece that doubles as an immersive brand touchpoint.

As the visual anchor across Akiki’s campaigns and collections, KIKI sets the tone for the brand’s unique storytelling. His presence is designed to spark curiosity, enhance recall, and deepen the audience’s connection with Akiki’s world.

“With KIKI, we’re creating a deeper emotional connection between the brand and its audience,” says Mr. Nishant Bakliwal, Head – Digital & Communications at Bagzone Lifestyles Pvt. Ltd. “This collaboration reflects our vision of blending art and fashion while positioning Akiki as a brand driven by personality, design innovation, and cultural relevance. Inspired by global luxury trends, KIKI reinforces our commitment to reimagining the space through bold, fresh perspectives.”

Launched earlier this year, Akiki London is a brand rooted in timeless design, inspired by the cultural richness of London and the layered strength of women it serves. With bold silhouettes, elevated accessories, and now a sculptural mascot to match, Akiki is building a world where objects are not only designed but curated for meaning.

Sprite Brings a Zesty Twist with New TVC Featuring Sharvari and Sunil Grover

New Delhi, 28 August 2025: Sprite, the iconic lemon and lime-flavored beverage, has unveiled a new mealtime ritual with the launch of its latest campaign, Spicy ko de Sprite ka Tadka, a brand idea inspired by India’s enduring love for spice. Built around a fizzy spice-Sprite-spice loop, the campaign positions Sprite as a perfect partner to spicy food, enhancing the consumer experience by cutting through heat and unlocking more flavor in every bite.

In an entertaining brand film, youth icon and Sprite brand ambassador, Sharvari enters a lively restaurant, where Comedy King Sunil Grover playfully slips into a series of personas, each unveiling increasingly spicy dishes. With every crescendo of spice, Sprite arrives, giving spicy lovers the choice to enjoy the thrill of each mouthful of spice, sip after sip. Through humour and sensory play, the film shows that Sprite’s crisp, effervescent taste doesn’t just complement spicy, it elevates every bite, giving consumers a zestier way to enjoy their favourite dishes.

Sumeli Chatterjee, Vice President – Marketing, Coca-Cola India & Southwest Asia, said, “India’s love for spicy food runs deep, but what’s remained largely untapped is to pair it with the right kind of beverage. That’s where Sprite naturally steps in. The crisp, lemon-lime twist doesn’t just cool you down, it elevates the whole spicy food experience. With ‘Spicy ko de Sprite ka Tadka’, we are tapping into this fun pairing and creating a new space for Sprite, beginning a long-term connection we believe will resonate deeply with the Gen Zs.”

Sharvari added, “Sprite has nailed it yet again with the ‘Spicy ko de Sprite ka Tadka’ campaign that is fun and relatable. What I really love is how Sprite always comes up with clutter-breaking campaigns that feel fresh and exciting every single time. As a brand, Sprite always aims to connect with Gen Zs and this Ad film is another perfect example of that. The whole idea of pairing spicy food with Sprite makes the taste even better. I can’t wait for everyone to try this combination already.”

Sunil Grover shared, “For me, a great meal is all about the experience, and this campaign really gets that. I can’t say no to spicy food and pairing it with Sprite just feels right. Shooting the ad was so much fun and love how Sprite has spiced it up, literally.”

“India’s love affair with spice is legendary, and for Gen Z, it’s a badge of honour” said Sukesh Nayak, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy India. “We saw an incredible opportunity to connect with that passion in a completely new way. ‘Spicy ko de Sprite ka Tadka’ isn’t just a campaign, it’s an invitation to embrace the thrill of spice like never before.”

As part of the campaign, Sprite is collaborating with popular food and snacking brands including Ching’s, Masterchow, Bingo, Jolochips, Wow! China, and Too Yumm. This will entail engaging activations, and co-branded experiences, further amplifying Sprite’s role as the perfect companion for spice. Because when spice takes over, there’s only one way to enjoy it with Spicy ko de Sprite ka Tadka.

Coca-Cola’s Bottling Partners Bolster India’s Logistics Network with Fleet, EV Expansion, and Welfare Push

India, August 25th, 2025: Coca-Cola, along with its bottling partners, is redefining green logistics by expanding one of the nation’s largest truck fleets, featuring over 5,000 EVs nationwide. This strategic investment not only delivers refreshment to every corner of India but also fuels job creation and underscores a commitment to operational excellence and social impact.

Nationwide Fleet Expansion Powers Growth and Opportunity

Coca-Cola’s products traverse several hundred  kilometers daily, reaching both urban and rural markets efficiently. This vast distribution network relies on a dedicated workforce of thousands of truck drivers, whose roles are pivotal in ensuring the timely delivery of beverages across the country. The ongoing expansion of the logistics fleet directly translates into stable employment opportunities, reinforcing Coca-Cola’s position as a significant contributor to India’s supply chain workforce.

Bottling Partners Accelerate Innovation and Impact

Superior Drinks Pvt. Ltd., a key Coca-Cola bottler, has bolstered its fleet with close to 200 state-of-the-art trucks and EVs added this year. This move has significantly increased distribution capacity and quality from plant to shelf. Meanwhile, SLMG Beverages, another major bottling partner within the system, has scaled up its electric vehicle fleet adding over 3000 EVs in the last three years to support last-mile delivery. Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB) has also strengthened the network by deploying approximately 500 EVs across 10 states, improving regional coverage and operational efficiency. Collectively, the scale of the bottling partners’ fleets is only expected to rise in the years ahead.

Championing Driver Welfare and Road Safety

In addition to workforce growth, Coca-Cola emphasizes driver welfare through a comprehensive program that includes annual road safety trainings, tailored for India’s diverse road conditions, regular medical and vision check-ups, and wellness seminars focused on road safety and stress management. Additionally, each vehicle is routinely assessed to meet operational standards. These initiatives aim to enhance driver safety and health, reduce operational risks, and improve overall job satisfaction.

Sundeep Bajoria, Vice President, Coca-Cola India said, “India’s logistics landscape is evolving and we’re evolving with it, responsibly. Our trucking ecosystem is a living engine of economic opportunity and impact-led progress. It creates livelihood opportunities across states, fuels micro-economies in transport hubs, and ensures that our beverages reach every lane and locality, from metro cities to rural kirana stores. As we scale our capabilities, we remain equally focused on enabling the people who power this network with safety, skill-building, and support.”

Vinay Nair, Chief Commercial Officer, Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. said, “At HCCB, we’re constantly evolving to meet the dynamic demands of India’s beverage landscape. Fleet augmentation not only strengthens our last-mile deliveries but also reinforces our commitment to agile, tech-enabled supply chain solutions that serve our retailers faster and better, while contributing to the local economies.”

Ashish Sethi, CEO Superior Drinks Pvt. Ltd. said, “Our focus has always been on operational precision and market readiness. With this fleet expansion, we’re building a delivery powerhouse that delivers unmatched speed, scale, and reliability. We’re setting new standards in execution to keep pace with one of the world’s most demanding supply chains.”

Rahul Kumar, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, SLMG said, “Expanding our EV fleet is a deliberate move to improve delivery speed and capacity in line with the Coca-Cola system’s growth objectives. This investment strengthens our ability to meet increasing consumer demand, especially in rural markets, with improved cost-to-serve.”

As Coca-Cola’s products journey across the country, every kilometer represents not just refreshment for consumers, but also new opportunities, livelihoods, and growth for countless Indians. By integrating a growing driver workforce with comprehensive welfare support, the company contributes to socioeconomic development in India, providing meaningful employment and fostering community wellbeing across regions.

CenturyPly Charts the Future of India’s Panel Products Industry at MATECIA 2025

New Delhi, 22nd Aug 2025: Century Plyboards (India) Ltd., India’s leading manufacturer of wood panel and decorative products, participated in Matecia 2025, one of the country’s premier exhibitions for architecture, building materials and interior products. The company showcased its latest innovations in wood panel solutions, laminates and eco-friendly product lines, reflecting its vision of building responsibly while driving industry transformation.

Exhibitions such as Matecia play a crucial role in bringing together architects, builders, manufacturers and designers under one roof to exchange ideas, explore new technologies and set future trends. For companies like CenturyPly, such platforms are invaluable for showcasing product leadership, engaging directly with stakeholders, understanding evolving customer needs and strengthening industry partnerships. Participating in these events helps drive not only brand visibility but also contributes to shaping the conversation around innovation, sustainability and growth in the building materials sector.

At the Matecia Building Materials Exhibition, Mr. Keshav Bhajanka, Executive Director of CenturyPly, delivered a compelling keynote address on the theme “Future Growth: Rise of Panel Products, Decorative & Interior Business.” He applauded the platform and credited the organizers for fostering a space that celebrates innovation and collaboration.

Mr. Bhajanka’s address traced the dramatic evolution of India’s panel products industry – from a plywood-dominated landscape fifteen years ago to today’s diverse ecosystem of MDF, particle boards, PVC, engineered veneers and high-performance laminates. He emphasized how India’s housing boom, rising middle-class aspirations and the growing influence of architects, designers and OEMs are reshaping demand across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

With the industry now valued at over 75,000 crore and projected to grow at a CAGR of 8–9%, Mr. Bhajanka likened India’s current trajectory to China’s inflection point two decades ago. He called for the creation of an Indian equivalent of Home Depot, citing the immense opportunity to scale organized retail and branded home-improvement solutions.

CenturyPly’s transformation mirrors this industry shift. From a plywood-centric business contributing nearly 80% of revenues in 2016, the company has diversified aggressively – today, plywood accounts for ~60%, with MDF emerging as the fastest-growing segment. CenturyPly has also expanded into particle boards and PVC, reinforcing its leadership across all four major categories.

To fuel this growth, the company has:

  • Onboarded top talent 
  • Invested over 2,000 crore in the last three years alone – surpassing its cumulative capex of 1,300 crore over the previous three decades
  • Introduced industry-first innovations like Firewall and ViroKill, with diversified product lines

Mr. Bhajanka concluded by reaffirming CenturyPly’s commitment to quality, innovation and sustainability – “The future is not given – it is built. And in the next decade, those who build it will define the very spaces we live, work and dream in.” With diversification and design-led innovation at its core, CenturyPly is not just responding to market shifts – it is shaping the future of India’s building materials industry.

The company has successfully sustained its upward momentum, with increased sales in Q1 2025, reaching INR 105 Crore —  4.59% increase from Q1 2024.

The Q1 2025 results were announced through an exchange filing, which revealed that apart from operational revenue that showed a stark increase, the company also made a significant increase of income from other sources. With a gradually rising PAT Quarter-on-Quarter, this highlights the strong leadership and business acumen of the company that has strategically led business optimisations like backward integration of a state-of-the-art, India’s most advanced continuous “3Coat 2Bake” coating line. Euro Panel Product Ltd’s robust business growth also recently made it the first ACP company to be listed on the mainboard of NSE and BSE, with unprecedented growth potential in the coming years.

Speaking on the Q1 2025 results, Mr. Rajesh Shah, Managing Director of Euro Panel Products Limited, revealed that this upward momentum is expected to sustain with more innovation and R&D-backed products in the coming days, “The increased business numbers are indicative of the bright future of Euro Panel Products Ltd. Just like we became the first publicly listed ACP company in India, we are committed to becoming the first in many other aspects in the coming months. We are undertaking a massive innovation and R&D effort in the background to bolster our commitment to transform the ACP industry both domestically and internationally and the results of it are visible for everyone to see.”

The filing also revealed no changes in the company’s Equity capital at 24 Crores, with reserves increasing to 114.43 Crores in Q1 2025. This highlights an increase of 5.70 Crore, bolstering the company’s financial status. These aspects highlight the robust financial status of the Mumbai-headquartered firm, uniquely positioning it for sustained growth in the quarters ahead.

The firm is also making significant changes in its operational status and would look to increase its network of 100 distributors domestically. Euro Panel Products Ltd also boasts of 17 depots and over 5,000 retail locations in India, and a strategic expansion of domestic operations on the back of more optimised operations would lead its growth in the months to come. At the same time, the company also holds a significant international presence in 16 countries across the globe, including the USA, Bhutan, Brazil, Cameroon, Dubai, Egypt, Guatemala, Kenya, Nepal, Oman, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Uganda, Bahrain, and Montenegro. With robust R&D, the company would look to introduce new products aligned with customer requirements in the near future, a catalyst for growth in a sustained manner.
