Liva launches its new campaign #LiveYourFlow
Liva, the ingredient brand from the house of Aditya Birla Group, launched its latest campaign #LiveYourFlow which features Bollywood Superstar Kangana Ranaut. This is the first-time that the brand has taken a unique route of releasing the campaign first on digital platforms including social media.
“It was a strategic decision to the digital-first route,” said Srishti Sawhney, President and Global Brand Head, Grasim Industries, Pulp & Fibre Business. “Liva, being a new age natural fabric brand has always taken initiatives to connect with the end consumer in innovative and creative ways. There is a huge attitudinal and behavioral shift in consumption towards digital media. Therefore we too have evolved our marketing strategy to reach out to the customer more effectively,” she added.
With the digital space booming, Liva is one of the few brands which are leveraging this platform by employing a different dissemination strategy for the ad film; where it is released digitally first and other mediums will then follow.
The ad film shows a graceful Kangana adorning the fluid Liva fabric which lets her breathe, glide, and flow. The background music and the perfectly synchronized ballet dancers very aptly communicate the essence of the product, i.e. ‘natural fluid fashion’. It goes on to introduce the campaign title, #LiveYourFlow by choosing the Liva tag across leading brands.
The digital film is designed to showcase not just the USP of the product, which is natural fluid fashion, but also the emotion it imbibes in the consumer who is wearing the garment. #LiveYourFlow, the campaign title gets across the feeling of being unrestrained and free to do one’s own thing. It connotes a positive and energized state of mind where one is open to possibilities. Liva celebrates the unrestrained and unhindered spirit of the consumers by providing them with a breathable, fluid fabric.

Trump announces $300bn Texas oil refinery with Reliance, calls it the biggest in US history
First new US refinery in 50 years planned at Brownsville port with Reliance
WASHINGTON: The United States may soon see the first brand-new oil refinery built on its soil in half a century.
Donald Trump announced a proposed $300 billion refinery project in Texas, calling it a landmark moment for American energy production and jobs.
Posting on Truth Social on 10 March, Trump said the facility would be built at the Port of Brownsville and developed by a company called America First Refining, with major investment from India’s Reliance Industries.
The announcement frames the project as a centrepiece of the administration’s push for “energy dominance”, with Trump claiming it would deliver thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in economic activity to South Texas.
If realised, the plant would mark the first all-new major refinery constructed in the United States since the 1970s. In recent decades, oil companies have largely chosen to expand existing facilities rather than build new ones, citing high costs, regulatory hurdles and environmental scrutiny.
Trump described the proposed investment as the “biggest in US history”, positioning it as proof that policy changes such as streamlined permits and lower taxes are drawing large-scale energy investments back into the country.
The refinery is planned for the Port of Brownsville, a strategic Gulf Coast location that provides easy access to shipping routes and export markets.
A key partner in the project is Reliance Industries, controlled by billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani. The company already runs the world’s largest refining complex in Jamnagar, India, making it one of the most experienced operators in large-scale petroleum processing.
The Texas venture would mark a significant step for the group into America’s domestic refining sector, potentially strengthening industrial ties between the US and India.
The proposed refinery is being promoted as a next-generation facility capable of processing American shale oil while maintaining high environmental standards. Trump said it would be “the cleanest refinery in the world”, although the specific technologies behind that claim have not yet been detailed.
Industry observers also note that the $300 billion figure is unusually large for a refinery project, and analysts are waiting for more clarity on whether the number reflects total construction costs, long-term infrastructure investment, or broader economic impact estimates.
As of 11 March, Reliance Industries had not publicly confirmed the investment size or the structure of its involvement.
For now, the announcement has sparked equal parts excitement and curiosity in energy markets. If the plan moves from promise to pouring concrete, the refinery could reshape the Gulf Coast energy landscape, and reopen a chapter in American refining that has been quiet for nearly fifty years.
