Himalaya Wellness Champions Bhringaraja in New Anti-Hair Fall Campaign with a Tale of Friendship



Rooted in friendship, the campaign highlights the strength of Himalaya’s natural solution for hair fall.

National, 16 July 2025: Himalaya Wellness has launched a new integrated campaign for its Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo, reinforcing the brand’s core philosophy of offering the best of Nature for everyday hair care problems. It spotlights Bhringaraja, renowned for reducing hair fall, also known as the “King of Hair”, in the new TV commercial and all-India digital rollout.

The campaign aims to address a long-standing consumer concern, finding a hair fall solution that is both natural and effective. The latest creative concept, developed under the campaign line “Won’t Let You Fall”, uses the lens of friendship to reassure women that with Himalaya’s Anti-Hair Fall Bhringaraja Shampoo, their hair is in safe and trusted hands.

The film captures two young friends swinging on a sunny afternoon, surrounded by nature. It delicately connects the fear of “falling” with hair fall anxiety. When one girl expresses her fear of falling from the swing, another reassures her with warmth and confidence, mirroring the promise of Himalaya’s Anti-Hair Fall Bhringaraja Shampoo.

Commenting on the campaign, Ragini Hariharan, Marketing Director – Beauty & Personal Care, Himalaya Wellness Company, said, “As a brand that champions nature-backed solutions, our new Bhringaraja campaign builds on the equity we hold in offering trusted, natural solutions for hair. Known for its strengthening and nourishing properties, Bhringaraja brings the best of Nature into modern beauty conversations. This campaign is not just about reducing hair fall; it’s about celebrating the bond between friends who trust each other, just as they trust Himalaya’s Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo to care for their hair.”

“The insight we worked with was simple yet powerful — infallible friendship. Our narrative is around that unwavering friend who never lets you fall, especially when it comes to your hair fall concerns. The campaign blends this emotional truth with the beauty and purity of nature — values that have always been at the heart of the Himalaya brand world,” said Naveen Raman, Executive VP & South Head, 82.5 Communications

The campaign will run as a TV commercial in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. And roll out nationwide through digital-first platforms, maximizing reach and engagement across key consumer touchpoints.

Integrated tools for scheduling, student management and Real-time dashboards offering insights 
Verified educator network
Focused on building trust and long-term student-mentor relationships.
Mumbai, July 16, 2025 — ClassTym, a next-generation interactive teaching platform, built around transparency and personalization launches with a radical mission: to put the power back in the hands of educators thus making quality mentorship accessible to students everywhere while reshaping the future of learning through human connection.
In a digital age where education is increasingly commodified and reduced to influencer content, ClassTym offers a refreshing alternative. Founded by Divya Tej, a visionary entrepreneur and passionate education reformer, the platform rejects rigid, curriculum-heavy systems in favor of flexible, mentor-led learning. At its core, it is a student-centric and educator-first platform that equips independent tutors, coaches, and subject matter experts with the tools to build digital classrooms — without the burden of upfront costs or rigid structures. It offers integrated tools for scheduling, whiteboarding, content delivery, and student management — all designed to make learning interactive, accessible, and impactful.
“At ClassTym, our vision is to create a world where quality education isn’t a privilege, but a right — accessible to anyone, anywhere. We’ve built a platform that connects passionate educators with eager learners in a way that’s seamless, personal, and empowering.” said Divya Tej, Founder of ClassTym.
He further added “Real learning happens when students connect with verified, passionate educators — not algorithms. At ClassTym, we’re not replacing human connection with technology but using technology to enhance it. With intuitive tools and a seamless interface, ClassTym is focused on bridging the gap between students and educators, making knowledge-sharing meaningful and impactful for all.”
Reshaping the EdTech Industry
The launch of ClassTym marks a paradigm shift in the EdTech industry. While most platforms emphasize content delivery and scalability, ClassTym champions student-mentor relationships, academic integrity, and educator empowerment. It enables students to choose their mentors based on demo classes, real reviews, and subject compatibility. By shifting away from a one-size-fits-all model, ClassTym enables personalized learning journeys while supporting educators with smart tools that scale their reach and income.
Unlike other EdTech platforms that thrive on influencers and content creators, ClassTym stands firm on academic integrity. Every educator on the platform is verified, ensuring students learn from qualified, real-world experts — not social media personas.
A Vision Born from Experience
As an alumnus of Good Shepherd International School, Pathways World School, and Bournemouth University (UK), Tej combines global academic exposure with hands-on experience. His leadership comes from working at schools, where he engaged with thousands of students and teachers, giving him firsthand insight into the barriers limiting educator autonomy and student access — especially outside Tier-1 cities. It was this realization that led him to launch ClassTym, a platform that removes geographic, financial, and institutional barriers.
What Sets ClassTym Apart
ClassTym is built from the ground up with a laser focus on transparency, accessibility, and empowerment. Key features include:
Zero Upfront Fees for Educators – Anyone can start teaching on ClassTym without paying a rupee. This reduces entry barriers for passionate educators across the world.
Global Reach – Now live in India, UK, USA, UAE, and Ireland, ClassTym connects educators and students across borders, unlocking global teaching and learning opportunities.

Verified Expert Network – No influencers. Only qualified, vetted educators are allowed on the platform, ensuring credibility and trust for students.
Student Empowerment – Students select educators based on demo sessions, reviews, and subject fit, ensuring a better learning match and stronger academic outcomes.
ClassTym is more than a platform — it is deeply grounded in a powerful philosophy: authentic learning must be rooted in trust, interaction, and mentorship. Built to empower real educators and offer students a truly personalized experience, ClassTym aims to make education interactive, transparent, and deeply human again.

STING® TURNS UP THE VOLUME ON FAN ENGAGEMENT, IGNITING A CULTURAL FREQUENCY ACROSS INDIA



When sound becomes a signal, fandom follows. Sting® sparks a sonic race to the F1 grid — fuelled by culture, curiosity, and conversation.

 

 

(Link to view the video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLcrmLGzqlL/?igsh=MTBha3BoamRuY3Ixeg== )

 

National, 8th July 2025: In a landscape overrun with visual noise and fleeting attention, Sting® Energy is flipping the script — using sound as a shortcut to belonging, buzz, and F1 fandom. With the latest chapter of its Sound of Sting® campaign, PepsiCo India’s high-voltage brand is amplifying a bold cultural frequency — not just creating a campaign, but igniting a movement.

 

Timing That Hits the Apex

Launched at a moment when Formula 1® is dominating national conversation — fuelled by the growing pop-culture buzz around racing — Sting®'s campaign lands at cultural peak velocity. With fan anticipation building ahead of every key moment, Sting® is strategically tapping into the surge — embedding itself in moments that matter most. The brand isn’t just catching attention — it’s riding the wave of a cultural crescendo.

 

Sonic-first. Fan-focused. Culture-fuelled.

With its landmark partnership with Formula 1®, Sting® is dialling up fan engagement through immersive, audio-first storytelling and community-driven activation. The Sound of Sting® is not just a catchy motif — it’s a sonic identity built from the roar of a real F1 engine. A sharp, high-frequency signal that now functions as both an ad trigger and a cultural cue.

 

“This isn’t just another campaign with a soundtrack,” said Vandita Pandey, Vice President, Marketing, International Beverages – Hydration and Energy, PepsiCo“Sound is identity. It’s how today’s youth connect, react, and belong. By transforming the emotional jolt of an F1 engine into a signature Sting® cue, we’re not just marketing — we’re engineering experience.”

 

Spot the Sound, Win the Ride

In one of the campaign’s most thrilling fan activations to date, Sting® is offering fans a chance to turn up the volume — literally. The promo is simple: hear the “stinggg” sound anywhere, tag the brand sharing where you heard the Sound of Sting, and stand a chance to win tickets* to a Formula 1® Grand Prix. (*T&Cs apply.)

 

What makes it disruptive is this: Sting® isn’t just broadcasting sound, it’s getting fans to seek it out. The brand has seeded the sound across unexpected touchpoints — reels, influencer content, online and in-theatre advertising — and invited fans to go from passive listeners to sonic explorers.

 

Brilliant by Design: Discovery as the New Distribution

This leg takes the story further — from controlled brand placements to fan-driven discovery. The campaign thrives because users carry it forward, seeking it, reacting to it, and expanding its reach.

 

Today, culture demands participation. Sting®’s new playbook reflects this shift — moving beyond simply placing a logo on a moment to creating moments that live within culture. The brand is crafting experiences that are unexpected, interactive, and designed to travel across audiences. By tapping into youth instincts like curiosity, sharing, and play, the campaign plugs into moments that matter. Sound becomes a Trojan horse, enabling Sting® to enter conversations organically rather than interrupt them. This isn’t just about partnering with F1 — it’s about amplifying a cultural pulse that fans are eager to follow.

 

The campaign is also being amplified through a partnership with BookMyShow, reinforcing Sting®’s presence at the intersection of entertainment and energy.

 

Hijacking Attention: From Sonic Drops to Social Sparks

From influencer activations to Easter-egg audio placements, The Sound of Sting® is showing up in unexpected places — a creative entry into India's soundscape. Whether it’s a creator remixing the Sting into content or fans stumbling onto it mid-scroll, the campaign is thriving on discovery.

 

What makes it brilliant marketing is that the audience doesn’t just consume the content — they chase it, remix it, and build on it. That’s how The Sound of Sting® is transforming from a brand asset to a shared cultural signal.

 

Already, reactions have poured in: creators  like Nayandeep Rakshit, Arjun Madan and Shiv Khandelvwal and more, urging followers to “listen up,” fan edits turning the sound into memes, and Sting® content lighting up reels with F1 flair.

 

The sound is no longer just heard — it’s shared.
