Ambrane packs a punch with pocket-sized PowerMini 10 and cheeky new TVC
MUMBAI: Ambrane’s latest spot isn’t just selling a power bank—it’s flipping the script on size. The brand’s new TVC for its sleek PowerMini 10 serves up charm and a cheeky lesson in performance, courtesy of a clever child who repeatedly outsmarts his dad.
The film opens with a casual game of chess between father and son. A surprise checkmate, a tech-savvy fix, and a gentle see-saw outbalance later, the message lands with a grin: “Size dekhke judge kiya?” The punchline segues into the reveal of the Ambrane PowerMini 10—a pocket-sized dynamo boasting a 10,000mAh battery capacity.
Conceptualised and produced by Watermelon, the campaign taps into the everyday with a light touch and delivers a deeper message: don’t underestimate the little guy. Whether it’s the pint-sized hero or the palm-sized charger, both prove that power isn’t always about bulk.
“With this TVC, we wanted to tell a relatable and emotional story that conveys the brand’s core philosophy, that big performance can come from the most unexpected, compact forms. The PowerMini 10 may be small, but it’s designed to keep up with the energy and demands of our consumers,” said Ambrane India managing director Ashok Rajpal.
The TVC is rolling out across major television networks, OTT platforms, and digital channels, with a parallel push on Instagram, YouTube, and influencer-led content to widen its charge.
With this launch, Ambrane isn’t just powering devices—it’s charging perceptions.

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.
