Mumbai: Women’s wellness, nutrition and beauty brand Chicnutrix has roped in Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra as its brand ambassador. This association also marks the launch of Chicnutrix’s new product, India’s first vegan, effervescent ‘Chicnutrix Plant-Based Collagen Builder.’
With this association, Chicnutrix aims to cement its commitment to women’s wellness with pure, effective, and clinically proven best nutritional supplements for a healthy and happy lifestyle, said the statement. “Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s dedication to living a healthy, balanced lifestyle perfectly complements the brand’s values and products for achieving wellness and beauty from the inside out,” it added.
While talking about the development, Chicnutrix CEO Shilpa Khanna Thakkar said, “with immense pleasure, we welcome Shilpa Shetty Kundra to our ‘Chic Tribe.’ She is an inspiration for women across categories. We at Chicnutrix being a brand made for women by women, aim to cater to all age groups and categories. Who better than the iconic wellness guru to endorse our values and core philosophy.”
Further she added, “As a woman who herself is a firm believer in fitness and natural ingredients, she joins the brand with an authentic voice that helps spread this positive message of healthy living. With this association, we aim to amplify brand awareness across urban and rural markets to create many more captivating stories fuelled by pure, clinically proven, clean and convenient nutrition.”
Shilpa Shetty Kundra will be joining ace fashion designer and actor Masaba Gupta, who is the nutrition BFF and brand ambassador for Chicnutrix.
Commenting on the association, Shilpa Shetty Kundra said, “Nutrition is the core to well-being. Our lifestyle today is such that it is difficult to keep up with all the nutrients and essentials required by a woman on a daily basis for her hair, skin and general well-being. One brand that does that for me is Chicnutrix.”
“I have been using their products for a while, especially Bounce and Glow and now, it’s an absolute delight to associate with them at a larger level. I have been fond of their communication and the fact that it is a brand by women for women, and I really like their approach to wellness and beauty through science-based nutrition. As a fitness enthusiast, I believe in the saying that you are what you eat and that wellness and beauty start from within. I am extremely excited to embark on this partnership,” she added.

IndiGo names William Walsh CEO
Former IATA chief to take charge in August after Elbers exit, Bhatia steers interim
India’s biggest airline has moved fast and gone global. InterGlobe Aviation, which operates IndiGo, has tapped aviation heavyweight William Walsh as chief executive officer, subject to regulatory approvals, marking a sharp pivot as the carrier eyes its next burst of expansion.
Walsh, currently director general at the International Air Transport Association, will step down on July 31, 2026, and is expected to take charge by August 3. The appointment comes barely three weeks after Pieter Elbers exited the corner office, with Rahul Bhatia holding the fort in the interim.
The choice signals intent. Walsh brings decades of cockpit-to-boardroom experience, having led British Airways and later International Airlines Group, the parent of Aer Lingus, Iberia and Vueling. His tenure across carriers has been defined by hard resets, restructurings and cross-border consolidation—skills IndiGo may need as competition intensifies and scale becomes decisive.
Vikram Singh Mehta, chairman and non-executive independent director of IndiGo, said Walsh’s experience in managing large-scale airline operations and navigating complex market dynamics makes him well-suited to lead IndiGo in an increasingly competitive global aviation environment, adding that the appointment marks a new chapter as the airline scales in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.
Rahul Bhatia said Walsh’s global perspective, operational expertise and customer-focused approach would be critical as IndiGo enters its next phase of expansion.
Walsh, widely regarded as one of the industry’s most influential figures, will oversee overall management and strategic direction, with a mandate spanning operational performance, network expansion, commercial strategy and customer experience. He is expected to work closely with the board and leadership team to sharpen IndiGo’s growth trajectory.
Walsh said IndiGo has a strong foundation and is well-positioned to capitalise on the evolving aviation landscape, adding that he looks forward to fostering a culture of excellence, innovation and sustainable value creation across the organisation.
A new captain, a bigger runway—and a market that rewards scale. IndiGo is lining up for its next take-off.
