HealthifyMe partners with Wondrlab to say ‘India, It’s time to Healthify’
Mumbai: Homegrown platform-first creative martech start-up Wondrlab has crafted HealthifyMe’s ‘It’s time to Healthify’ campaign, as a part of its new year communication. Featuring Bollywood star Sara Ali Khan, the campaign motivates people to Healthify to meet their goals.
The campaign went live across TV, digital, social, radio, print, hoardings and HealthifyMe’s mobile app. The ad film is a montage of real stories and people’s reasons to Healthify. There will also be individual testimonial videos of the users that will be released as an extension to the campaign, said the brand.
“When we studied data, we realised that no one really healthifies or loses weight just to be healthy – there’s always a larger goal or reason. Everybody knows they should be healthy, but don’t get to it, till some reason triggers and motivates them,” said Wondrlab co-founder and chief creative officer Amit Akali. “We decided to use that insight to connect to people – by sharing real stories of real people who lost weight. In Sara Ali Khan, we found the most authentic person possible, one who’s undertaken an inspirational transformation journey herself. Bringing alive how HealthifyMe’s unique features like calories counter, step tracker, coaches, experts, etc together can help you get there.”
“New Year is an important time for us – when most people resolve to healthify themselves. The insight that everyone healthifies for a reason really excited us,” stated HealthifyMe founder Tushar Vashisht. “Our brand is founded on honesty, so like always we wanted to showcase the lives and transformation stories of real customers, this time bringing alive their reason to healthify, with the intent of inspiring others to achieve the same. The app helps users make a breakthrough change in their fitness levels, thereafter making a real difference in their daily lives. We’ve tried to reflect that.”

Faber-Castell India appoints Sunaina Haldar as director – marketing
With stints at Tata, SleepyCat and ADF Foods under her belt, Haldar is primed to redraw Faber-Castell’s brand story
MUMBAI: Faber-Castell India has poached Sunaina Haldar from ADF Foods, appointing her director – marketing as the German stationery brand looks to muscle up in a category that is rapidly reinventing itself around creativity and self-expression.
Haldar hit the ground running. “My first couple of weeks have been incredibly energising, understanding consumers, visiting markets, engaging with retailers and immersing myself into the world of Faber-Castell Group,” she said.
She arrives with considerable firepower. At ADF Foods, Haldar ran marketing across India and international markets for a portfolio spanning Ashoka, Aeroplane, Camel and ADF Soul. Before that, she was vice-president – marketing at direct-to-consumer mattress brand SleepyCat, where she helmed brand, content and performance marketing. Her résumé also includes a stint leading marketing, new product development and CRM for Tata SmartFoodz at Tata Consumer Products, no small proving ground.
Between corporate roles, Haldar also operated as a fractional CMO for early-stage startups, building marketing strategy and operational structures from scratch, a signal that she knows how to move fast with limited resources.
With 18 years straddling FMCG, D2C and the startup world, Haldar now takes the reins at a brand that has long owned the classroom but is clearly hungry for the living room. In a stationery market where the pencil has become a lifestyle statement, Faber-Castell has picked someone who knows exactly how to sell that story.
