Handbag brand Lavie unveils TVC created by TBWA
MUMBAI: Handbag Brand Lavie has launched their latest TV commercial featuring brand ambassador Kareena Kapoor.
Conceptualised by TBWA, the ad captures the “tempting” range of Lavie and how women are helpless to its “irresistible” handbags.
The new campaign is an extension to the previous ad campaign which was based on the many moods of a woman. This campaign highlights how Lavie overpowers the denial of shopping.
TBWA India NCD Rahul Sen Gupta said, “No, no, no, maybe, yes‘, that is the mind of a woman when she goes shopping. We captured this insight through Kareena‘s wonderful performance as a girl-next-door, going through great denial and great desire at the same time, in a Lavie store.”
Directed by Shakun Batra of Ek Main aur Ek Tu fame, the TVC is produced by Red Ice Films.
Bagzone Lifestyles COO Sandeep Goenka said, “Lavie offers contemporary handbags for every ocassion and is designed keeping in mind the many moods of women. We are certain that our consumers will relate to this TVC, as it accurately depicts a great shopping experience.”
The TVC captures Kapoor in denial mode whenever she comes across the latest Lavie – be it a hobo, a clutch, a laptop bag or a leather bag, while she ultimately succumbs to the urge to own that next perfect bag.

Exec takes charge of MX sales and marketing after Raju Pullan’s exit
NEW DELHI: Samsung India has elevated Aditya Babbar to lead its mobile phone business, following the exit of Raju Antony Pullan.
Babbar, who previously served as vice president within the mobile division, has been appointed head of sales and marketing for the MX (mobile experience) business, effective May 1. In his new role, he will oversee the company’s sales and marketing operations for smartphones and related categories in India, reporting to the executive vice president of the MX business.
A long-time Samsung executive, Babbar brings over a decade of experience within the organisation, having held multiple leadership roles across product, marketing and category management. Most recently, he led product marketing and e-commerce for the mobile division, following earlier stints as head of product and marketing and senior director roles.
His career within Samsung Electronics and its India operations has also included responsibilities for flagship devices, tablets and wearables, giving him a broad view of the company’s premium and mass-market portfolio.
Babbar succeeds Pullan, who stepped down from the role, marking a leadership transition at a time when India remains a key battleground for global smartphone makers.
The appointment signals continuity within Samsung’s leadership bench, with an internal candidate stepping up to steer one of its most critical business units in a highly competitive market.
