CoinDCX ropes in Ayushmann Khurrana for its latest campaign
Mumbai: After a spate of campaigns revolving around the ease of investing in cryptocurrencies, homegrown crypto exchange platform CoinDCX has now launched a mega drive to address key concerns surrounding crypto investments amongst the Indian audience. Coined as ‘future yahi hai,’ the campaign will see leading Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana educate young Indians about crypto being ‘simple and safe’ to invest in.
The kickoff ad to be released during the festive season will feature the actor taking a humorous yet informative approach to crypto. The idea to bring on board a superstar like Ayushmann Khurrana comes into play to dismiss myths related to crypto, stated the brand.
“Ayushmann has always come across as being a friendly and credible personality who has a knack for connecting with both younger and older generations with his exemplary work,” said CoinDCX head of brand, marketing and communications Ramalingam Subramanian. “Our focus during this campaign will be to dispel the various myths surrounding crypto-based investing and breaking down the simple steps needed to enable anyone to start their crypto investment journey.”
With its ‘future yahi hai’ campaign, CoinDCX continues with its approach of adopting a simple but engaging narrative to connect with both seasoned and new investors by demystifying crypto for everyone while developing an understanding of crypto-enabled financial services.
“I am delighted to be associated with the campaign which, in the truest sense, is an initiative to raise awareness about the rising asset class of crypto-based investments,” stated Khurrana. “I am impressed with CoinDCX’s persistent endeavour to guide investors towards making educated and smart investments after thorough research.”

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.
