Sunsilk Launches ‘Gang of Girls’- The world’s First all-girl Online Community
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Friday, June 16, 2006: Pining together for that perfect pair of shoes, heated debates over low-cal food, collective knees going weak over Bon Jovi and stifling those sniffles in the middle of Casablanca. That’s what ‘girl’ bonding is all about. It’s about sighing outside the diamond store and obsessing over that ghastly zit. It’s as much about posing together with purple face-packs as it is about lending a shoulder to a broken heart. There’s something very special about the time a girl spends with her girlfriends.
Sunsilk, one of India’s leading hair care brand from Hindustan Lever Limited, is about to give the Indian girls a space to do just that. In a move to enable girls across the world to connect with one another and have a lot of ‘girly’ fun, Sunsilk has launched India’s first online all-girl community called ‘Sunsilk Gang Of Girls’ accessible online at http://www.sunsilkgangofgirls.com
Vipul Chawla, Category Head – Hair Care, HLL says, “Sunsilk Gang Of Girls” is the first ever concept of its kind. It is a very unique manner of making a difference to the lives of the Indian girls. This online world of Sunsilk is aimed at providing a retreat to them wherein they can connect over shared passions. Meticulous research and strenuous effort have gone into creating a website that should both fascinate and benefit young girls across India and even beyond. We’re thrilled to launch this community as we see it as Sunsilk’s defining interface for its consumers”
Interesting amongst the features of the website is The Make-Over Machine that lets girls upload their photographs and give themselves an online make-over. They can choose what suits them amongst a host of hairstyles, hair colours, eye-shades, make-up, lip colors, accessories, etc. and look completely transformed. The Gang Blogs section lends the girls a personal space to express themselves, share pictures and gyaan with their gang members. Gang Wars is a Girls v/s Girls zone where the girls chuck their dolls and sharpen their claws to engage in battles of spunk and wit. The site also features useful segments like Career Track that offer info on the coolest jobs in the market for young women and Parade Ground, the ideal platform for girls to showcase their latent talents.
A peek into the activities lined up by Sunsilk in the coming months for the gangs reveals exciting holidays abroad, camping trips across the country, treasure hunts, stunning make-overs with Jawed Habib and contests with bumper prizes.

Filmcity Media CFO Mohit Jain quits; CEO Kirti Vishnu Tiwari takes charge of finance
Board appoints Prabhat Modi as additional director and approves Rs 1.9 crore preferential share issue
MUMBAI: Filmcity Media has reshuffled its top deck. Chief financial officer Mohit Jain has stepped down, prompting the board to hand the finance reins to chief executive Kirti Vishnu Tiwari even as the company lines up fresh capital and new boardroom muscle.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE, Filmcity Media said Jain resigned from the roles of director and chief financial officer with effect from March 11, 2026, to pursue another career opportunity. He ceased to be a key managerial personnel of the company at the close of business on that date.
The board swiftly moved to plug the gap, appointing Kirti Vishnu Tiwari as chief financial officer from March 12, 2026. Tiwari, who already serves as executive director and chief executive, will now hold the combined role of executive director, CEO and CFO, taking charge of the company’s finance function while continuing to lead operations.
The leadership changes were approved by the board following recommendations from the nomination and remuneration committee, with the audit committee also backing Tiwari’s appointment as CFO to ensure governance oversight. Under the arrangement, Tiwari will continue as a key managerial personnel under Section 203 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Filmcity Media also expanded its board, appointing Prabhat Modi as additional director with effect from March 13, 2026, for a term of five years. The appointment, categorised as a non-executive non-independent directorship, will require shareholder approval at the next general meeting.
Modi brings capital market experience to the role. He holds a B.Sc in accounting and finance from the University of Essex in the United Kingdom and a PGDM from the National Institute of Securities Market. His professional experience includes stints at SBI Mutual Fund, BSE India and Morningstar India, where he worked on market research, financial analysis and capital market operations.
Tiwari, meanwhile, brings experience spanning finance, marketing and hospitality. A graduate of Lucknow University, she has previously worked with Hotel Holiday Inn, Hotel Leela Kempenski and Hotel Sea Rock, along with roles at Pawan Hans Helicopter and CBRE South Asia.
Separately, the board also approved a preferential issue of equity shares to members of the promoter and promoter group as well as non-promoter investors. The proposed fundraising, subject to regulatory approvals, is expected to raise up to Rs 1.9 crore.
The company said both appointees meet all regulatory requirements under SEBI regulations and the Companies Act and are not barred by any regulatory authority from holding their positions.
With a new board face, a CEO doubling as CFO and fresh capital on the table, Filmcity Media appears to be tightening its leadership and balance sheet in one swift move.
