Iodex presents Active Muscle Care Cream to combat daily muscle stiffness
MUMBAI: Iodex, has introduced its latest innovation—Iodex Active Muscle Care cream, a non-sticky formula designed for rapid relief from pain and stiffness caused by everyday activities.
Formulated with four potent ingredients boswellia extract, eucalyptus oil, capsaicin extract, and camphor—the cream delivers a warming sensation that improves blood circulation, easing muscle stiffness and discomfort.
The brand’s latest national campaign, conceptualised by Leo India, uses the song Dauda Dauda Bhaaga Bhaaga Sa to capture the fast-paced nature of modern life, where physical strain often limits quality time with loved ones. The campaign film portrays a father unable to play with his child due to muscle pain, until Iodex Active Muscle Care comes to his rescue.
Haleon India category leader for pain & respiratory Pavan Wani said, “For decades, Iodex has been a trusted part of Indian households, providing effective relief when pain strikes. Most individuals rely on common household remedies or rest at the end of each day to combat their physical discomfort or muscle stiffness arising due to daily activities. With Iodex Active Muscle Care, our aim is to aid you in getting relief from this daily pain and muscle stiffness. At Haleon India, our purpose is to deliver better everyday health with humanity, and this launch is a direct reflection of that. By providing an accessible and effective solution for muscle care, we’re empowering individuals to stay ahead of this stiffness, maintain an active lifestyle, and ultimately, take control of their well-being.”
The campaign will be amplified across television, print, and digital platforms. The new Iodex Active Muscle Care cream is now available at prominent pharmacies, supermarkets, and e-commerce platforms across India.

KITKAT India teams up with One Piece for anime-led campaign push
On-pack characters and digital film tap into India’s fast-growing anime wave
MUMBAI: KITKAT India has joined forces with the globally popular anime One Piece, rolling out a new campaign that brings fan-favourite characters onto its packaging in a bid to connect with India’s rapidly expanding anime audience.
The collaboration sees iconic characters from the series featured on KITKAT packs, adding a playful twist to the brand’s long-standing “take a break” proposition. By blending pop culture with confectionery, the campaign aims to make everyday breaks feel a little more adventurous.
The launch is anchored by a digital-first film released across YouTube and Meta platforms, supported by a broader push spanning outdoor media and interactive social content. The multi-platform rollout reflects a clear attempt to meet younger audiences where they already spend their time.
Nestlé India head confectionery business Gopichandar Jagatheesan said, “Anime is a rapidly growing genre in India, and we are excited to collaborate with one of the most popular shows, One Piece. Having championed breaks for decades, KITKAT now takes them to the next level, making every break more epic with the world of One Piece.”
The move comes at a time when anime is shifting from niche interest to mainstream entertainment in India, with brands increasingly tapping into its cultural currency to stay relevant with younger consumers.
By pairing a globally loved anime with an equally recognisable chocolate brand, KITKAT’s latest outing signals a simple idea with strong appeal. In a crowded market, even a small break can turn into a big moment when it comes with a side of fandom.
