Mumbai: OMRON Healthcare India, the Indian arm of the Japanese global leader in home blood pressure monitoring and solutions for cardiovascular disease management, has announced a collaboration with supermodel, film producer, and fitness enthusiast Milind Soman to enhance awareness around adopting home monitoring as an essential constituent of health regime.
This collaboration marks a significant stride in the realm of home health monitoring, underlining OMRON’s commitment to supplement the quality of lives of millions through technologically advanced and useful devices. The objective is to raise awareness regarding the importance of adopting a sincere and continuous practice of blood pressure monitoring, and body composition & weight measurement to prevent the onset as well as aggravation of disorders like hypertension. Both Milind and OMRON urge to make monitoring an essential part of all hypertension, fitness, and weight management routines which most of the time is reactive and is pursued by an individual only after facing a health incident.
Milind Soman’s dedicated approach to his holistic well-being, by maintaining a healthy diet, consistent physical activity, and regular health check-ups, aligns perfectly with OMRON ‘s vision of “Going for ZERO” focusing on preventive healthcare to reduce incidents of hypertension-led events to realize zero heart attacks and zero brain strokes.
The recent spike in cases of Heart attacks among youngsters is a worrisome trend. However, if regular monitoring starts at an early age, it can have a substantial long-term impact on the overall health of individuals. Awareness about comprehensive Hypertension management and data monitoring can be of great help in managing and preventing such cardiovascular events in the near future.
While speaking about the collaboration, OMORN Healthcare India MD Tetsuya Yamada said, “In India, a critical necessity exists to raise consciousness regarding the significance of health screening. The inclusion of health screening within any fitness regimen is imperative. And Milind Soman embodies fitness in a holistic way that includes regular screenings as well. His credibility is unquestionable. OMRON had the opportunity to collaborate with him earlier and we are glad to open another chapter of our partnership with him that will enable us to connect with more consumers, reinforcing the message of ‘Life On With OMRON’.”
Milind Soman, a prominent figure in the fitness industry and a staunch advocate for healthy living, shared his excitement about the partnership, saying, “I am honoured to be associated with OMRON Healthcare India, a brand that shares my passion for promoting health and well-being. With OMRON’s advanced and useful devices, I believe we can inspire a health revolution in India, encouraging everyone to take charge of their health journey that would include monitoring.”

Lakmé launches SPF infused makeup range with ‘I Earned It’ campaign
Lakmé 9to5 Hya Beach Edit blends sun protection, hydration and colour.
MUMBAI: If the Indian summer insists on turning up the heat, beauty brands are learning to keep their cool. Lakmé has unveiled a new campaign titled “I Earned It” to introduce the Lakmé 9to5 Hya Beach Edit, its first makeup range infused with SPF. The campaign features brand ambassador Aneet Padda and positions the collection as a blend of sun protection, skincare and long wear colour designed for India’s hot and humid climate.
Part of the Lakmé 9to5 portfolio, the new range expands the brand’s long running narrative around the confident working Indian woman. With the “I Earned It” message, the campaign shifts the focus slightly, celebrating not just ambition but also the idea that downtime and personal moments are equally deserved.
The campaign film follows a modern professional navigating a day that moves effortlessly between work calls, coffee runs and evening plans, reflecting the fast paced routine of urban life where indoor polish often meets outdoor exposure to the sun.
Hindustan Unilever Limited chief marketing officer for beauty and wellbeing Sunanda Khaitan said the product was developed with India’s climate and lifestyle in mind. “Living in a country with high sun exposure made us rethink what long wear beauty should deliver. With the Lakmé 9to5 Hya Beach Edit we are bringing together sun protection, hydration and high performance colour in a single step,” she said.
The new range is formulated with SPF and powered by hyaluronic acid, a skincare ingredient widely used for hydration. According to the brand, the products are designed to remain intact in heat and humidity with sweat proof, transfer proof and water proof formulas.
The aim is to merge skincare benefits with cosmetic performance, offering lightweight finishes that stay fresh even during long days outdoors.
Padda said the campaign resonated with her own routine of balancing work and personal time. “‘I Earned It’ is a reminder to celebrate yourself without guilt and enjoy the moments you have worked hard for. The campaign reflects that spirit with makeup that feels fresh, effortless and designed for real life,” she said.
The campaign was developed by Ogilvy, where creative leaders Mihir Chanchani and Zenobia Pithawalla described the concept as reflecting a Gen Z mindset that embraces both hustle and leisure.
The Lakmé 9to5 Hya Beach Edit collection is now available on the brand’s official website, major online marketplaces and retail stores across India.
