Aretto Launches New Kids’ Footwear Ranges With ‘Free the Child’ Campaign
Aretto Launches New Kids’ Footwear Ranges With ‘Free the Child’ Campaign
 

Kids’ footwear brand Aretto has introduced its new campaign, ‘U/A: Free the Child’, focusing on children’s curiosity, individuality and freedom to explore. The campaign also marks the introduction of two footwear ranges, Leaps Pro V and Leaps Pro, developed for children aged 8 to 13 years.

The campaign challenges conventional perceptions of growing up, encouraging children to retain their curiosity, express their individuality and question everyday norms. Through the perspective of Generation Alpha and tweens, the initiative highlights the importance of allowing children to explore the world independently and develop their own identities.

The campaign’s ‘U/A’ concept draws inspiration from film certification terminology, using it to represent the unrestricted spirit of childhood. It also encourages adults to reconsider expectations and limitations that may affect how children express themselves as they grow older.

Satyajit Mittal, Founder and CEO, Aretto said, “Growing up should open up a child’s world, not narrow it. The ages of 8 to 13 are discovering their individuality and learning to question the ordinary, and there is much adults can learn from their curiosity. ‘Free the Child’ celebrates that spirit and reminds us that growing up need not mean growing out of who we are. This belief also shapes how we design footwear. As children grow older, their activities, movements and footwear needs evolve. With Leaps Pro V and Leaps Pro, we bring together the support older kids need with the adaptive technology, breathability and flexibility that define Aretto.”

The campaign also reflects Aretto’s approach to designing footwear that accommodates children’s changing physical needs. As children move between school, sports and recreational activities, their footwear requirements evolve, making support, flexibility and durability important considerations.

The ranges feature flexible, barefoot-style soles intended to support natural movement. Their non-marking outsoles also make them suitable for school corridors and indoor sports courts.

Additionally, the Pro range includes midfoot panels and a padded collar designed to help secure the foot and heel during quick, multidirectional movements. Leaps Pro V comes with Velcro straps, while Leaps Pro features elastic laces that can be tied once and worn like slip-ons.

Jewellery brand GIVA has appointed actor Kriti Sanon as its brand ambassador and announced her entry as a strategic investor. The partnership marks a new phase in the company's growth strategy, with Sanon expected to contribute to brand development, collection design, and consumer engagement as GIVA expands its presence in India's jewellery market.

The association begins with the launch of the ‘Style, Sealed in Silver’ campaign, which presents silver jewellery as an everyday fashion choice and a means of personal expression.

Sanon's involvement extends beyond conventional brand endorsement, with the actor expected to participate in initiatives aimed at strengthening the brand's market positioning and connecting with consumers. The partnership reflects GIVA's focus on making jewellery relevant to everyday occasions, particularly among younger and fashion-conscious customers.

The ‘Style, Sealed in Silver’ campaign will be rolled out across digital and over-the-top (OTT) platforms, alongside marketing activities across GIVA's physical stores, e-commerce channels and social media. The multi-channel approach is designed to maintain engagement with consumers across online and offline shopping environments.

GIVA initially built its business around certified silver jewellery and has since expanded its product range to include gold jewellery and lab-grown diamonds. Its portfolio caters to consumers seeking accessible jewellery options across different styles and price points.

The brand opened its first physical store in Bengaluru in 2022 and has subsequently expanded its retail footprint to more than 300 outlets. Its growth across physical stores and digital channels reflects its focus on reaching consumers through multiple shopping formats.

péro x Barbie Debuts Dream Dress-Up Collection at Lakmē Fashion Week 2026
péro x Barbie Debuts Dream Dress-Up Collection at Lakmē Fashion Week 2026
 

Lakmē × Tira presented péro as the opening showcase at Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI, held at Taj Palace in New Delhi. The showcase featured the Indian design house’s global collaboration with Barbie and its Spring Summer 2027 collection, titled Dream Dress-Up. The collection combined péro’s craftsmanship and experimental design approach with Barbie’s emphasis on imagination, individuality and self-expression.

Facilitated by Dream Theatre, Mattel’s licensing agency in India, the collaboration brings péro’s distinctive design sensibilities to one of the world’s most recognised cultural brands. The showcase explored the relationship between fashion, beauty and personal identity, highlighting how clothing and beauty choices can reflect individual moods and expressions.

The opening presentation also highlighted the association between beauty brands Lakmē and Tira and the fashion showcase. While Lakmē contributed its beauty expertise, Tira brought its focus on beauty discovery, integrating makeup and styling into the overall runway narrative.

For péro, Dream Dress-Up explores the freedom to experiment with different identities and move beyond conventional ideas of dressing. The collection brings together contrasting elements, allowing femininity and masculinity, softness and strength, and traditional craftsmanship and unconventional styling to coexist.

The Spring Summer 2027 collection features relaxed silhouettes designed to encourage comfort and individual expression. Playful prints, crochet, lace, bows and handcrafted details feature prominently, complemented by péro’s signature layering techniques and textile experimentation. Pink, closely associated with Barbie, has been reinterpreted as a colour without gender boundaries. Fluid shapes and unexpected combinations further challenge established conventions around clothing and identity.

Aneeth Arora, Founder & Creative Director, péro said, “Barbie has always represented the freedom to dream beyond what is expected - to Dress-Up, play with identity and imagine all the different ways of being. That spirit feels very close to péro. I have always believed that clothes should leave space for curiosity, joy and individuality, rather than tell us who we should be. With Dream Dress-Up, we wanted to bring our worlds together through craft, colour and play, and create a season that feels open to everyone.”

An important element of the collection is the iconic Barbie pink box, which has been reimagined as a symbol of moving beyond expectations. Instead of defining an identity, the box represents the possibilities that emerge when individuals step outside conventional boundaries.

The showcase also highlighted the role of Lakmē and Tira in bringing beauty into the fashion narrative. As Beauty Partners, the brands are exploring ways to translate runway trends, including colours, textures and makeup techniques, into beauty discovery opportunities for consumers. Lakmē’s Hya Glam range is featured as part of the collaboration, complementing the collection’s styling and visual direction.

Sunanda Khaitan, Chief Marketing Officer, Beauty & Wellbeing, Hindustan Unilever Limited shared, “Having closed our showcase with pēro in March, stepping back into Aneeth’s whimsical world to open this edition felt like pure magic. Her design language is so rich and emotive, and beauty is what breathes life into that canvas, with our new Lakmē 9to5 HYA Glam Range, bringing every look alive with high-impact color, effortless glow, and that unmistakable runway vibe. Together with Tira at Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI, this Opening Showcase sets a vibrant new benchmark for fashion and beauty coming together.”

Bhakti Modi, CEO & Co-founder, Tira stated, “What made this showcase special was the way péro brought imagination to the runway, turning the simple joy of dressing up into something wonderfully unexpected. At Tira, we see beauty as an opportunity to add another dimension to that experience, where a touch of colour or a change in texture can completely shift the character of a look. It was exciting to see this spirit come alive through péro’s collaboration with Barbie, celebrating creativity without rules or limitations.”

The opening showcase set the stage for the October 2026 edition of Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI, bringing together Indian design, international brand licensing and beauty-led styling. The péro × Barbie Dream Dress-Up collection is scheduled for a worldwide release in Spring 2027.

Greenply Launches XPro Hybrid Veneer Range Under Woodcrest Brand
Greenply Launches XPro Hybrid Veneer Range Under Woodcrest Brand
 

Greenply Industries Limited has launched XPro, a new hybrid veneer range under its Woodcrest brand, designed for contemporary residential and corporate interiors. The range combines the natural warmth and texture of wood with consistent, repeatable patterns, enabling architects, interior designers and homeowners to create coordinated interiors across multiple surfaces.

The launch comes amid steady growth in India’s home interiors market, estimated to be expanding at 8–13% annually. Rising demand from integrated townships and premium residential projects is driving greater investment in interior design, with premium households spending nearly 10–20% of their property value on interiors.

The growing preference for “quiet luxury” and understated, premium aesthetics is also influencing interior design choices. Consumers are increasingly opting for natural materials, refined finishes and products that offer durability alongside visual appeal. Greater digital access to design inspiration has further encouraged homeowners to explore premium options and choose established brands that offer consistent quality and reliability.

At the same time, large residential developments and corporate projects require uniform finishes across different spaces and applications. From wardrobes and doors to furniture and wall panelling, maintaining a consistent design language has become an important consideration for architects and interior designers.

XPro has been developed to address these requirements by combining the character of natural wood with reproducible designs that can be used across multiple surfaces. Its range of patterns caters to different interior styles, making it easier for homeowners to achieve a coordinated look while helping design professionals execute a consistent vision across residential and corporate projects.

Commenting on the launch, Sanidhya Mittal, Joint Managing Director, Greenply Industries Limited, said, “We are seeing a clear shift in how premium homes in India are being designed. Homeowners are investing a larger share of their property value in interiors, and veneer has become one of the defining choices in that spend. At the same time, the growth of integrated townships and premium residential projects means designers need a finish that stays consistent across every unit and every surface. Buyers are also more informed than ever, discovering designs online and choosing brands they can trust for quality and longevity. XPro has been developed for this customer, offering the richness of natural wood with the consistency today’s projects demand, backed by Greenply’s commitment to design and durability.”

The XPro range is suitable for various residential applications, including wardrobes, furniture, doors, feature walls and wall panelling. It can also be used in corporate environments such as reception areas and workspaces. Positioned in the mid-premium segment, the range targets projects where design, durability and aesthetic consistency are key considerations.

With this launch, Greenply is expanding its Woodcrest portfolio to cater to evolving interior design preferences and the growing demand for coordinated finishes. The new range is aimed at strengthening the company’s offering for architects, interior designers and dealers seeking wood-inspired solutions for contemporary spaces.

PNGS Reva Diamond Jewellery Appoints Sharvari as Brand Ambassador
 

Reva, the natural diamond jewellery brand from PNGS Reva Diamond Jewellery, has appointed actor Sharvari as its first brand ambassador. The move comes as the company steps up its retail expansion and digital initiatives following its stock exchange listing in March 2026.

As part of the association, Sharvari will appear in Reva's campaigns across print, digital, outdoor advertising and in-store platforms. The campaigns will begin during the festive and wedding season, a key period for the jewellery industry.

Sharvari entered the film industry with Bunty Aur Babli 2 and has since featured in films such as Munjya, Maharaj, Vedaa, Main Vaapas Aaunga and Alpha. She is also set to appear in filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya's Yeh Prem Mol Liya, scheduled to release in November.

Reva currently operates 38 retail locations, including five exclusive brand outlets and 34 shop-in-shop counters within the P. N. Gadgil & Sons network. The brand has a strong presence in Maharashtra and is gradually expanding into Gujarat and Karnataka.

As part of its store expansion strategy, Reva opened an exclusive outlet at Amanora Mall in Pune in July and another in Nashik in September. Following its March 2026 listing, the company plans to establish around 15 company-owned exclusive stores over the next 24 months. The proposed expansion will focus mainly on Tier I cities, while also covering selected Tier II cities and metropolitan markets.

The company expanded its digital sales channels in September with the launch of its e-commerce website, revadiamonds.com.

Amit Modak, CEO, PNGS Reva Diamond Jewellery said, "Reva is entering a defining phase. Since our listing, we have been expanding with clarity, opening exclusive stores, launching our online platform, and preparing to take the brand into new cities, including key markets in North India. As we grow beyond our home ground, we need a face that resonates nationally while staying true to who we are. Sharvari does exactly that. Her appeal cuts across regions and age groups, and she will help us introduce Reva and the value of a certified natural diamond to many more customers across India."

Aditya Modak, Director, Reva by PNGS shared, "Our very first brand ambassador had to be someone who truly reflects the Reva woman, and Sharvari was a natural choice in every sense. She is rooted, she is real, and she has earned her place through her own effort, much like a natural diamond is shaped over time. Today's woman buys diamonds not only for weddings but for herself, for her milestones and for her every day. Sharvari embodies that confidence, and together we want to make natural diamonds a part of more women's stories."

Sharvari, Brand Ambassador, Reva, stated, “Being the first face of Reva makes this association especially exciting for me. As a Maharashtrian, P. N. Gadgil & Sons is a name I’ve known and associated with trust and tradition for as long as I can remember. What drew me to Reva is how it brings natural diamonds into the everyday, with designs that feel modern while still holding on to the timelessness of the stone. I’m happy to be part of a brand that makes diamonds feel relevant to different moments in a woman’s life, from ordinary days to the most special occasions.”

Vedika Pinto shared, “I think Bombay is one of those cities where you can start your day with a plan and somehow end up somewhere completely unexpected and that’s the fun of it.

Satya Paul Brings Untamed Collection from London to India
Satya Paul Brings Untamed Collection from London to India
 

Satya Paul has unveiled the campaign for its Untamed collection, highlighting the brand's approach to print, movement, and artistic expression through contemporary menswear and womenswear. First showcased at Lancaster House in London earlier this year during SXSW London, the collection marked the brand's international presentation and a new phase in its creative direction under Aseem Kapoor. The campaign now brings the collection's design philosophy to audiences in India.

Centred on individuality and freedom of expression, Untamed explores fashion beyond conventional styling. The collection reinterprets Satya Paul's signature prints through bold patterns, fluid drapes and contemporary silhouettes, offering a versatile approach to personal style across menswear and womenswear.

A key highlight is Satya Paul Man, the brand's first menswear collection, developed for modern consumers who value travel, exploration and individual expression. Drawing inspiration from landscapes, time and personal experiences, the collection translates the idea of a journey into clothing that reflects the wearer's experiences and perspectives.

The menswear range includes jackets, bundis, kurtas, shirts and coordinated separates. Designed to be styled together or worn individually, the pieces combine distinctive prints with versatile silhouettes. The use of layered fabrics, contrasting colours and graphic patterns reflects an approach to dressing that prioritises personal expression over conventional coordination.

The collection is designed for men who draw inspiration from their surroundings and experiences, whether travelling to familiar destinations or exploring new places. Through Satya Paul Man, the brand aims to extend its print-led design identity into contemporary occasionwear and lifestyle dressing for a younger audience.

"When you are travelling, nature asks you to really be present and see. Satya Paul Man is designed for the one who looks closely and appreciates deeply,” said Aseem Kapoor, Creative Director, Satya Paul.

Actor Danish Pandor, who walked at the London showcase, features in the campaign, reflecting the collection's emphasis on individuality and exploration. His association highlights the brand's interpretation of the contemporary man as someone who makes independent style choices and remains open to new experiences.

“I love being on the move—meeting new people, seeing new places, and creating memories along the way. Travel has a way of shifting your perspective; you come back seeing the world, and yourself, a little differently. For me, Satya Paul Man carries that same spirit—curious, expressive, and always open to new adventures.” said Danish Pandor.

Alongside the menswear offering, the wider Untamed collection continues to reinterpret the brand's established print aesthetic across womenswear. The range includes sarees, ready-to-wear kaftans and coordinated sets, with prints combined and layered across different silhouettes.

Bombay Shirt Company Partners with Rid Burman for Menswear Capsule Collection
Bombay Shirt Company Partners with Rid Burman for Menswear Capsule Collection
 

Bombay Shirt Company (BSC), an Indian custom-made menswear brand, has partnered with artist and fashion photographer Rid Burman to introduce an exclusive capsule collection titled “What is the Colour of Mumbai?” The collaboration combines the brand's tailored approach to clothing with Burman's photographic interpretation of Mumbai's architecture, colours and urban landscape.

The collection draws inspiration from four original photographs by Burman, capturing pre-monsoon skies, reflections of dusk on dark ocean waters and the ageing facades of coastal buildings. These images served as references for fabric selection, dye treatments and the development of relaxed silhouettes that reflect the city's urban character.

Rather than reproducing photographs directly on fabric, the creative process involved translating the images into colours, textures and garment structures. The resulting collection combines structured tailoring with workwear-inspired designs, oversized proportions and distressed finishes.

"The best collaborations force you to see something familiar through an entirely new lens. Rid has a very distinct eye for Mumbai, its light, architecture, colours, people, and contradictions. We wanted to see what would happen when his perspective intersected with the way we make clothes at BSC. His photos became our colour board, pushing us past our comfort zone and usual boundaries. There is more workwear than we’ve ever done, wider proportions, chore jackets, oversized T-shirts, and distressed finishes. The clothes still feel like us, but the attitude feels much looser, raw, and textured. Ultimately, it’s a way of looking at home through someone else’s eyes," stated Akshay Narvekar, Founder of Bombay Shirt Company.

The ready-to-wear collection features chore jackets, vintage-washed denim shackets and soft overshirts. The bottomwear range includes barrel-fit jeans and military-inspired barrel fatigue pants. Heavyweight, acid-washed pullover hoodies and oversized T-shirts complete the apparel selection, with details such as subtle embroidery, distressed finishes, and Burman's photographic work incorporated into selected pieces. The collection also includes accessories such as caps and tote bags.

Rid Burman said, "Every time I walk along the city’s promenades or look out over the concrete landscape, the same question stays with me: What is the colour of Bombay?" Having lived in cities around the world, Burman said his exploration of colour became a way to develop a sense of belonging in Mumbai. Merging BSC’s clean architectural structure with my visual lens felt completely natural because we both respect each other's craft. Shooting real people on the streets in a guerrilla style was our nod to the city’s everyday hustle and knack for making things work. Ultimately, all those emotions, grit, and contradictions were poured directly into these garments, and I hope people see a bit of themselves and their own dreams in this collection."

The collection's colour palette reflects the changing appearance of Mumbai's skyline from day to night. Shades including Moonless Night, Mystic Navy, Sky View and Eclipse form the darker tones, complemented by Silver Grey, Burnished Lilac, Cloud Dancer, Dusty Blue and Dusty Pink. Sunlight and Sunburst provide contrasting warmer shades across the range.

Through the collaboration, Bombay Shirt Company brings together its focus on tailoring and garment construction with Burman's visual interpretation of Mumbai, translating the city's architecture, atmosphere, and everyday experiences into contemporary menswear.

Introduced under the campaign theme TIME TRAVELLER SERIES: What We Carry Defines Our Journey, the collection combines Italian craftsmanship, contemporary design and functional detailing.

The collection features a range of leather accessories, including wallets, card cases, passport holders, multi-pouches, computer bags, backpacks and duffle bags. Designed for the modern man, the products cater to different lifestyle needs, from everyday use and professional settings to travel.

The launch marks an extension of Rosso Brunello’s leather expertise into a broader range of lifestyle products, positioning the brand across multiple consumer touchpoints beyond its footwear offerings.

Four Leather Expressions Define the Collection

The Leather Essentials collection is available in four distinct leather expressions: Franzy, Plain, Embossed and Weave. Each offers a different interpretation of leather texture and finish, giving consumers a choice across styles and functional requirements.

With a focus on material quality, refined detailing and usability, the collection emphasises the role of leather accessories as everyday essentials that can develop character through regular use.

The TIME TRAVELLER SERIES campaign builds on this idea, highlighting the relationship between personal journeys and the objects people carry with them.

Nuvah Partners with Barkha Singh to Strengthen Brand and Product Strategy
Nuvah Partners with Barkha Singh to Strengthen Brand and Product Strategy
 

Nuvah, an India-based online-first women's footwear brand, has appointed actress and digital creator Barkha Singh as its Chief Creative Officer. In her new role, Singh will work with the company's founder and CEO, Avni Jain, to shape its creative direction across product design, brand communication, visual storytelling and cultural expression.

The appointment comes as Nuvah looks to strengthen its positioning in the women's footwear market by addressing the demand for products that combine style and comfort. The brand's product range incorporates its proprietary Steady-Form footbed and patent-pending Style-Switch technology, which allows users to interchange heels and create multiple looks with a single pair of footwear.

Singh's responsibilities will extend beyond brand communication to include creative direction and product development. The company aims to bring her understanding of fashion, entertainment, and contemporary consumer preferences into its product design and brand strategy.

Singh has appeared in several film, television and OTT projects, including Criminal Justice, Masaba Masaba, Engineering Girls, Please Find Attached, and Lafangey. Alongside acting, she has established a presence as a digital creator, producing content across fashion, travel and lifestyle.

Her association with the brand follows her recognition as Style Icon of the Year – Contemporary Actor at the ELLE Style Awards. Nuvah footwear has also featured in the second episode of Prime Video's fashion makeover show We Got You Girl, hosted by Singh alongside Prachi Shevgaonkar.

Avni Jain, Founder & CEO, Nuvah said, “When we started Nuvah, we wanted to challenge a compromise women have been expected to accept for far too long: that looking good must mean being uncomfortable. Barkha brings an intuitive understanding of the women we are designing for. She understands fashion and culture, but more importantly, she recognizes how women today want to move through the world with ease, confidence, and individuality. Her creative instinct and perspective will be invaluable as we guide Nuvah into its next chapter.”

Barkha Singh, Chief Creative Officer, Nuvah added, “What drew me to Nuvah was not just the idea behind the brand, but also the energy, clarity, and experience Avni brings to the table. I’ve always believed that women shouldn’t have to compromise on how they look, feel, or move, and Nuvah is built around this very thought. I’m excited to be part of a brand that approaches a real, everyday need with such a strong creative vision. For me, this role goes beyond communication; it’s about being involved in the creative thinking and product journey, and helping build something that feels relevant, beautiful, and genuinely useful to women today.”

Founded by Avni Jain, Nuvah was established to address the discomfort associated with wearing heels. Drawing on her background in engineering, consulting, investing, and consumer businesses, Jain developed the brand around the idea of incorporating comfort into footwear design from the outset.

Tanishq Showcases Adhyantara Festive Jewellery Collection with Triptii Dimri
 

Tanishq has unveiled a campaign for its latest jewellery collection, Adhyantara, featuring actress Triptii Dimri. Developed by TBWA\Lintas, the campaign takes inspiration from celestial elements such as the sun, moon, and stars, translating these motifs into contemporary jewellery designs.

The campaign film unfolds at a campsite beneath a starry sky, where Dimri sits outdoors as the song ‘Badan Pe Sitare Lapete Hue’ plays in the background. As she gestures towards the sky, blue, pink, and gold lights appear to come together to reveal an Adhyantara necklace, bringing the collection's cosmic theme into focus.

Pelki Tshering, Chief Marketing Officer, Tanishq said, “At Tanishq, we believe the festive season is a time to embrace wonder, celebrate individuality and find beauty in the extraordinary. With Adhyantara, we set out to explore the infinite wonder of the cosmos and bring it closer to the woman who inspires us. Drawing from the brilliance of distant stars and the poetry of celestial forms, our designers have translated the beauty and mystery of the universe into contemporary jewellery, bringing together intricate Indian craftsmanship with a distinctly modern sensibility. The campaign brings this creative vision to life, with Triptii Dimri embodying the spirit of a woman who is curious, imaginative, and unafraid to explore beyond the familiar. Through Adhyantara, we invite her to step into a world where celestial inspiration meets contemporary expression, and where the extraordinary becomes a celebration of her own individuality.”

Triptii Dimri shared, “Being associated with Tanishq has always felt special to me because of the way the brand brings together tradition, craftsmanship and a contemporary sense of expression. What drew me to Adhyantara was its connection with the cosmos and the sense of wonder that comes from simply looking up at the sky. I love how the collection translates that vastness, light, and beauty into jewellery in such an intricate and contemporary way. Each piece has its own character, and I especially love how Adhyantara allows festive jewellery to feel personal and expressive.”

Arpan Bhattacharyya, Executive Director and Head of Creative, South, TBWA\Lintas stated, “Adhyantara gave us an opportunity to look at the world of Tanishq through a more wondrous lens. Since the jewellery itself draws inspiration from the cosmos, we wanted the film to inhabit that same universe of wonder- bringing alive its mystery, beauty and infinite possibilities, while translating the vastness of the cosmos into something deeply human, intimate and magical.”

The Adhyantara collection features more than 100 designs across four categories: Glass Kundan, Plain Gold, Plain Jewellery with Inspired Gemstones and Open Polki. The range includes necklaces, bangles, finger rings, and mangalsutras in 18kt and 22kt gold.

Sparx Names Tamannaah and Lakshya Lalwani Brand Ambassadors for New Campaign
 

Sparx, the footwear brand owned by Relaxo Footwears, has introduced its ‘Greatest of Today’ (G.O.T.) campaign featuring actors Tamannaah and Lakshya Lalwani as brand ambassadors. The campaign aims to strengthen the brand's engagement with young consumers while promoting its latest collection of sneakers and sports shoes.

Developed by Mudra, part of BBDO Group India, the campaign draws inspiration from the popular expression GOAT, or Greatest of All Time, and reinterprets it as Greatest of Today. The concept encourages consumers to focus on the present and make the most of everyday experiences rather than waiting for a defining achievement. Tamannaah and Lakshya bring their individual personalities to the campaign, which connects Sparx's footwear range with everyday fashion and active lifestyles.

Gaurav Kumaar Dua, Co-CEO and Whole-Time Director, Relaxo Footwears said, “For today’s generation, greatness is not necessarily about a distant achievement or a defining milestone. It is about what you choose to do, experience and express in the moment. With ‘Greatest of Today’, Sparx wanted to build a thought that feels relevant to the culture and mindset of young India today. Our latest collection complements this proposition with sneakers that bring a strong style expression and versatile sports shoes designed for an active, on-the-go lifestyle. Tamannaah and Lakshya help bring this thought to life through their own individual perspectives.”

Chetan Soni, Senior Vice President and Head of Business at Mudra shared, “The brief was never to simply make Sparx look younger, but to understand Gen Z’s relationship with style, identity and ambition. The shoe is the starting point, but the real proposition is the attitude to stand out and make every moment count. For us, G.O.T. is more than a campaign; it marks the beginning of a new identity and cultural role for Sparx.”

The campaign will be rolled out across television, print, digital platforms and outdoor media. It combines the G.O.T. brand platform with Sparx's latest footwear collection, which includes sneakers for everyday styling and sports shoes designed for active use.
