Lakshya brings bold attitude to Tyaani Jewellery in ‘forces of Tyaani’
MUMBAI: Tyaani Jewellery by Karan Johar, one of India’s leading fine jewellery brands, has unveiled a powerful new campaign look from its ongoing ‘forces of Tyaani’ series, featuring Ba***ds of Bollywood fame Lakshya Lalwani. Known for his meteoric rise in Hindi cinema, Lakshya represents a new wave of unapologetic self-expression and bold individuality.
Lakshya has been an integral face of ‘Forces of Tyaani,’ a campaign that redefines fine jewellery as natural, aspirational, and commanding for both women and men. This latest chapter captures him in a youthful yet striking avatar, blending the raw edge of his Bads of Bollywood persona with the sophistication of fine jewellery. The styling channels both rebellion and regality, showing that jewellery is not just an accessory but an attitude.
The growing conversation around men’s jewellery reflects more than just a fashion movement, it signals a cultural shift towards confidence, individuality, and authenticity. From understated essentials to unapologetic statements, jewellery is emerging as a language of self-expression, with Tyaani leading the narrative.
In the campaign visuals, Lakshya is styled in layered necklaces, cocktail rings, and bangles from Tyaani’s men’s collection. Each piece is crafted in 18 karat yellow gold, set with natural uncut diamonds, cut diamonds, and striking gemstones, brought to life through a modern setting technique that bridges tradition with contemporary design.
Tyaani Jewellery, founder, Karan Johar said, “Lakshya is not just a face in our campaign, he is a force. His presence, charisma, and journey align perfectly with what we celebrate at Tyaani: individuality and fearlessness. This new look in ‘Forces of Tyaani’ pushes the boundaries of men’s style and celebrates fine jewellery as a bold, personal expression of self.”
Reflecting the campaign’s philosophy, Lakshya added, “For me, presence is power. When you hold your ground, the world learns to wait. You remember the face? Good. Now remember the voice. This is what power sounds like, in Tyaani.”
Tyaani Jewellery by Karan Johar is currently present in eight cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow, Chandigarh, and Ahmedabad and is also available online at tyaani.com.

IICT partners with Gativedhi to bring studio production tools to students
New MoU lets students explore AI-driven production pipelines for AVGC-XR
MUMBAI: The Indian Institute of Creative Technologies (IICT) has teamed up with Gativedhi Technologies to give students a front-row seat to modern studio production. The collaboration will integrate Gativedhi’s AI-powered production intelligence platform, Shotrack, into academic programmes, letting students experience the workflow systems used by animation, VFX and gaming studios.
Under the MoU, faculty, students and researchers will get hands-on access to Shotrack through beta programmes, pilot deployments and academic evaluations. This will allow them to explore simulated production pipelines, understand asset management, track tasks and monitor schedules, essentially seeing how complex projects come together behind the scenes.
Shotrack is designed to tackle a key industry challenge: when multiple studios work on the same project, differing internal systems often create bottlenecks, slow approvals and complicate version control. The platform provides a unified production environment, enabling smoother collaboration across distributed teams while generating operational insights and predictive analytics to optimise crew allocation, forecast schedule risks and manage costs.
The collaboration also opens doors to Gativedhi’s wider ecosystem. Upcoming tools include StudioTrack, for studio operations management covering budgeting, recruitment and IT infrastructure, and WorkTrack, which measures workflow efficiency and team productivity across industries.
IICT plans to embed these tools into programmes covering animation pipelines, VFX workflows, gaming production and media project management. Students will also benefit from guest lectures, masterclasses, workshops, internships and research projects that connect academic learning with real-world studio practices.
IICT CEO Vishwas Deoskar, said the partnership provides “An environment where production pipeline tools can be explored, tested and refined while students gain insight into how large-scale productions are organised.”
Gativedhi Technologies founder & CEO Senthil Kumar added, “This collaboration introduces students to real-world studio management tools and helps us improve our platform with academic feedback.”
With Shotrack in classrooms, India’s future animators, VFX artists and gaming producers will get a taste of studio life long before they step into one.
