Casio India unveils ‘Sun Portraits’ campaign for Baisakhi
New LTP-SN6 series celebrates timeless bonds and festive renewal.
MUMBAI: Casio India has found a beautiful way to mark time this Baisakhi by reminding us that some moments are truly timeless. The leading watch brand has launched a heartwarming new campaign titled ‘Making Moments That Matter’, featuring its elegant LTP-SN6 series of watches. The campaign film, created in the spirit of Baisakhi, captures how life changes with time, roles, and cities, yet the bonds and memories that truly matter remain constant.
Set against the backdrop of renewal and gratitude that defines the festival, the film traces a touching journey of relationships that endure despite the passage of time. It highlights how a single meaningful moment can bring loved ones closer again, blending nostalgia with contemporary storytelling.
The new LTP-SN6 series including models such as LTP-SN6KGS-7A, LTP-SN6KR-1A, LTP-SN6KD-2A, and LTP-SN6KR-8A takes centre stage with its understated sophistication and timeless design, perfectly complementing modern Indian sensibilities.
Casio India managing director Takuto Kimura said, “Baisakhi is a celebration of renewal, gratitude, and togetherness. With this campaign, we wanted to reflect on the timeless nature of human connections. Our watches are not just timekeeping devices but companions that become part of these meaningful journeys.”
The campaign reinforces Casio’s commitment to offering classic, thoughtfully designed timepieces made for India, while encouraging people to cherish the bonds that truly matter.
In a world that moves at breakneck speed, Casio has gently reminded us this Baisakhi that the best moments aren’t rushed, they’re simply remembered. A refreshing campaign that proves some things, like true connections and fine craftsmanship, only get better with time.

Funskool India crosses US$40 million turnover in FY 2025-26
Toy manufacturer posts steady growth despite global headwinds.
MUMBAI: Funskool India has played its cards well turning challenges into steady growth while keeping the fun alive in the toy business. The country’s leading toy manufacturer has reported a turnover of $40 million in FY 2025-26, demonstrating resilience in a difficult global environment. The company recorded an average growth of 14 per cent over the past two years, with exports growing at a healthy 19% year-on-year.
While domestic business grew at a modest single-digit pace, Funskool saw encouraging traction in key categories such as Fundough (dough) and Handycrafts (arts & crafts).
Funskool India Ltd. CEO K.A. Shabir said, “We successfully navigated the challenges posed by US tariffs last year and continued to grow both our export and domestic businesses. Given the ongoing geopolitical situation in West Asia, we are currently working with a moderate growth outlook of 12–15 per cent, with plans to revisit our targets after Q1 once the situation stabilises.”
He highlighted strengthened partnerships with global companies including Spin Master (Canada), Moose Toys (Australia), Melissa & Doug (USA), Asmodee (France), Learning Resources (USA), and Buffalo Games (USA). The expansion of the company’s Goa plant is progressing and is expected to be completed by the end of the current financial year.
Looking ahead, Funskool expects a significant shift in domestic growth momentum for FY 2026-27, driven by new categories such as friction vehicles under the brand “BlazeTrix”, remote-control cars under “VoltRush”, and the addition of popular licences like Paw Patrol.
In an industry where playtime never stops, Funskool has shown that even in turbulent times, a smart strategy and strong partnerships can keep the business ticking along nicely. As it gears up for the next financial year, the company appears well-positioned to build on its solid foundation and bring even more joy to children worldwide.
