Daki Brands assigns creative duties to Percept/H
MUMBAI: Daiki Brands has assigned its creative duties to Percept/H.
Confirming the same to indiantelevision.com, Daiki Brands assistant manager Shilpa Rathi said,” Though we had offers from agencies like Cornerstone Advertising and Six Inches Communications among others, our CEO opted for the latter because he had earlier worked with them and knew their capability amply well.‘
Percept/H has won the creative duties of the newly-set up innerwear company. The agency won the business on the basis of its understanding of the strategy required to advertise and popularise Daiki Brands.
Rathi, however, refused to divulge on the size of the business, adding, ” I can only say that Percept would handle creative duties like designing, strategising, conceptualising and positioning among others of three of our new innerwear brands like Peri Peri, Daiki and Biara.”
Also, Daiki Brands is believed to be in consultation with Allied
Media, Percept‘s sister agency, for its media duties.
Daiki is the men‘s innerwear range catering to the premium segment and competing with the likes of Hanes and Jockey.

Toyota appoints Kenta Kon as President & CEO
New leader to steer EV push and global innovation amid industry shift.
MUMBAI: Toyota just handed the keys to a new driver because when the road to electric mobility gets twisty, you need someone who knows how to accelerate without skidding. Toyota Motor Corporation has named Kenta Kon as its new president and chief executive officer, a key leadership transition as the Japanese giant doubles down on its transformation in the fast-evolving global automotive landscape.
Kon brings deep expertise in automotive innovation, business strategy, and operational leadership to the top job. His appointment signals Toyota’s intent to sharpen focus on accelerating electric mobility, strengthening worldwide operations, and pushing customer-centric breakthroughs in next-generation technologies.
The company is betting on Kon to guide it through the industry’s pivotal shift toward sustainability, digital integration, and smarter mobility solutions. Key priorities under his watch include ramping up electric and hybrid lineups, expanding global market reach, driving cutting-edge automotive R&D, tightening supply-chain efficiency, and scaling connected and intelligent vehicle ecosystems.
This move comes at a time when legacy automakers face intense pressure to balance heritage strengths with aggressive electrification timelines and software-defined vehicle demands. Toyota aims to reinforce its position as a leader in sustainable, reliable, and future-ready mobility while navigating competitive challenges from both traditional rivals and new-age EV players.
For a brand that’s long defined durability and innovation, Kon’s elevation isn’t just a title change, it’s Toyota flooring it toward the next lap, ready to turn today’s tech talk into tomorrow’s showroom reality.
