Boldfit extends partnership with Royal Challengers Bengaluru
New “Champions #TrainBold” campaign offers fans chance to win player-used gear.
MUMBAI: Boldfit just raised the bar with RCB because when your training gear comes straight from the champions’ gym, even your home workout starts feeling like a title chase. Boldfit, India’s leading sports and fitness brand, has announced the next chapter of its partnership with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the 2026 IPL season through the campaign “Champions #TrainBold”. Now in its third year backing the franchise, Boldfit is moving beyond sponsorship to co-creation, designing performance products based on the team’s real training needs and intensity.
At the centre of the campaign is a limited-edition RCB x Boldfit merchandise collection featuring towels, lifting belts, grips, sports equipment, hydration bottles and shakers all built for those who train with intent. Every purchase gives fans a chance to win authentic, player-used training equipment from the RCB team gym, including lifting belts, yoga mats, skipping ropes, resistance bands, gym balls and more, each accompanied by an authenticated RCB metal placard.
Boldfit founder Pallav Bihani said, “RCB fans have always been known for their bold energy. But boldness doesn’t stop in the stands, it’s built every day in training. This year, our partnership evolves from support to co-creation, building products with the team, for everyone who chooses to train bolder.”
The campaign celebrates last season’s momentum while pushing fans to embrace the same disciplined, high-performance mindset that defines the RCB squad.
In the high-stakes world of the IPL, where every boundary and every wicket matters, Boldfit isn’t just sponsoring a team, it’s giving fans a piece of the grind, proving that champions aren’t made only on match day; they’re forged in the gym, one bold rep at a time.

Coca-cola launches ‘Har Meal Aaaah’ campaign with Mamitha Baiju
Hyperlocal film turns parotta into ‘Parotaaaaaah’ to celebrate meal moments
MUMBAI: One sip, one sound and suddenly, every meal gets its moment. Coca-cola has unveiled its latest campaign, ‘Har Meal Aaaah’, aiming to turn everyday dining into something a little more memorable and a lot more refreshing. Fronted by Mamitha Baiju, the campaign leans into Coca-cola’s iconic “Aaaah” mnemonic that unmistakable expression after the first sip reimagining it as a cultural thread that ties together food, flavour and feeling across regions. The film, rooted in Tamil Nadu’s culinary culture, spotlights the beloved parotta, playfully stretching it into “Parotaaaaaah” to capture the joy of the perfect pairing.
Conceptualised by Ogilvy and extended regionally by Studio X, the campaign blends local insight with global brand cues. It reflects Coca-cola’s ongoing strategy of embedding itself into everyday rituals, this time, not through grand occasions, but through the quiet, familiar moments around food.
The idea is simple but sharply executed: position Coca-cola not as an add-on, but as an essential companion to meals. By tapping into hyperlocal food habits while retaining a universally recognisable brand cue, the campaign aims to deepen emotional recall across diverse audiences.
Early traction suggests the approach is resonating. The campaign has already sparked organic engagement online, with memes and user reactions amplifying its reach proof that sometimes, the smallest ideas travel the furthest.
At a time when brands are competing for attention in increasingly fragmented markets, ‘Har Meal Aaaah’ takes a different route zooming in rather than out. Because in the end, Coca-Cola’s bet is clear: if you can own the moment after the first sip, you can own the meal.
