CaratLane launches festive campaign ‘#MereStyleKiDiwali’ to promote their gifting products
Mumbai: CaratLane has launched its digital film, Mere Style Ki Diwali, on the occasion of Diwali. Introducing the first of four digital films, the campaign aims to showcase that while jewellery plays an important role in “intimate gifting relationships,” every person has their own style of celebrating Diwali and honouring the traditions of the festivities. BBH Communications India conceptualised and executed the “#MereStyleKiDiwali” campaign.
Building on the brand’s core purpose to help consumers express their emotions, CaratLane’s latest film brings to life the journey of a daughter-in-law finding her own unique expression with her in-laws on the occasion of her first Diwali with them. The story beautifully captures the slight nervousness and the confidence felt by her as she prepares for an evening with her husband and his parents. We see her styled in a silk saree with an off-white blazer and a brown belt, non-conventional and yet an acknowledgment of her tradition. The film takes us through the surprise she has planned for her mother-in-law by bringing both her worlds together.
Whether it is gifting something memorable to family or friends, or even gifting yourself something to celebrate personal milestones, CaratLane aims to create designs and solutions for customer needs. The brand has also highlighted their 24-48-hour delivery service and the 15-day exchange service through the digital films.
Speaking about the campaign, CaratLane vice president of marketing Jennifer Pandya said, “We have understood from many customer stories and interactions that our jewellery plays a central role in helping customers express their unique sense of style and personality. We’ve seen how jewellery is gifted by women to their family on occasions such as Diwali, and CaratLane designs are perfect for such gifting occasions. They enable the gifter to express their gratitude and love while also celebrating their tradition and culture in a way that is meaningful to them. “#MereStyleKiDiwali” is born from numerous such stories that we want to celebrate this year. Through this campaign, we aim to showcase CaratLane as a gifting destination for different relationships during the festive season and help customers embrace their style of celebrating. We also wanted to highlight the different services like fast delivery, 15-day exchange, and old gold exchange, positioning CaratLane as a brand that creates solutions for customers rather than just a jewellery brand.”
Adding to it, BBH India ECH Aarti Srinivasan said, “For a brand that designs some of the most unique and modern fine jewellery, our attempt has always been to let this modernity reflect in the communication we design. With #MereStyleKiDiwali, we wish to send out the message that there aren’t any set rules or ways of celebrating Diwali. Whether it is jewellery, rangoli or mithai, the idea is to encourage people to add their own style and embrace their uniqueness without the social pressures of fitting in.”

BLR Airport Launches ‘Connections’ Service to Ease Transit Travel
New initiative targets smoother transfers as Bengaluru hub traffic rises 30 per cent.
MUMBAI: Missed connections may be a traveller’s nightmare but Bengaluru is trying to make them a thing of the past. Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport) has rolled out ‘Connections by BLR’, a new transfer programme designed to take the friction out of connecting journeys. Built around three pillars ease, efficiency and experience,the initiative aims to simplify what is often the most stressful leg of air travel.
The move comes as transfer traffic at BLR Airport climbs sharply, up more than 30 per cent year-on-year. Transfers currently account for around 15 per cent of total passenger traffic and are projected to touch 20 per cent by 2026, signalling a clear shift in how the airport is positioning itself within airline networks.
At its core, the programme focuses on making navigation intuitive and downtime more comfortable. Dedicated transfer desks have been set up across terminals, supported by colour-coded wayfinding blue and yellow signage designed for quick recognition. Inter-terminal movement is being streamlined through complimentary shuttle services with predictable wait times, while designated transfer zones aim to reduce passenger confusion.
Beyond logistics, the airport is leaning into experience. Travellers in transit now have access to a wider choice of lounges, curated retail and food and beverage options, as well as sleeping pods for short stays. For longer layovers, transit hotels in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 offer boutique in-terminal accommodation, an increasingly sought-after feature as global travel patterns evolve.
The timing is strategic. BLR Airport now connects to 114 passenger destinations 80 domestic and 34 international with key routes spanning Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Pune domestically, and Singapore, London Heathrow, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Kuala Lumpur internationally. Recent additions such as Hindon, Bidar and Silchar within India, alongside Dammam, Hanoi and Riyadh overseas, are further expanding its reach.
Infrastructure is also catching up with ambition. Developments including the West Cross Taxiway, Terminal 1 refurbishment and Terminal 2 expansion are laying the groundwork for higher capacity and smoother operations critical for any airport aiming to become a serious transfer hub.
Bangalore International Airport Limited chief operating officer Girish Nair framed the initiative as both a response to demand and a forward-looking play. He pointed to the growing depth of the airport’s network and the opportunity to build a more reliable transfer ecosystem that benefits both passengers and airline partners.
In an era where travel is as much about transitions as destinations, BLR Airport is betting that a seamless connection might just be the journey’s most important upgrade.
