CoinSwitch’s latest campaign is a take on disclaimers in finance ads
Mumbai: Cryptocurrency investment platform CoinSwitch Kuber has launched a two-film campaign during the IPL cricket season. Conceptualised by The Script Room, the campaign aims to create a positive awareness around Bitcoin, while positioning the crypto platform as a premier crypto trading platform and a thought leader in the category.
The creative is hinged on the disclaimers in financial services advertisements while giving it a creative twist. The films have been crafted in the form of shorter duration ads targeted at the cricket-viewing audience.
“Financial services advertising is most often done with a lot of gravitas, seriousness and generally in the emotional territory. The entire Cryptocoin being a relatively new category we thought we should try something that’s really cool and fresh,” said The Script Room co-founder Ramsam. “The creative is basically a take on the usual disclaimers that come along with finance ads and we have given it an interesting twist.”
“Combined with ambitious goals and a high-energy team, it’s no surprise that we were able to co-create some really exciting and bold work,” said co-founder Ayyappan Raj. “It’s a pleasure working with Swati & her team at CoinSwitch, they really regard and celebrate good ideas. We hope to continue this association through many more films.”
CoinSwitch Kuber and The Script Room announced their association to support the demand for cryptocurrencies and enhance its growth through the TV and digital footprint.
“The partnership with The Script Room brings in innovative ways for us to look at our goal of making India more aware about crypto,” said Coinswitch head of growth Swati Pincha. “Our user base has good representation from all across India & making sure that these new and young investors are well informed is our greatest priority.”

Charlotte Tilbury opens first flagship store in India
Luxury beauty brand bets on immersive retail as India expansion gathers pace
NEW DELHI: Charlotte Tilbury has opened its first flagship Beauty Wonderland in India, planting a high-glamour marker in New Delhi as global beauty brands double down on the country’s fast-growing premium market.
Located at Nexus Select Citywalk in Saket, the store is operated end-to-end by Nykaa, deepening a partnership that began with the brand’s digital launch in India in 2020 and has since scaled across retail, marketing and distribution. The opening signals a shift from marketplace presence to standalone brand environments as companies chase long-term equity and consumer loyalty.
The launch was marked by an event on April 9 featuring actor Sobhita Dhulipala, the brand’s first beauty muse in India, underscoring Charlotte Tilbury’s growing cultural push in the market.
“Darlings, I am so excited to open my first-ever flagship Beauty Wonderland in India, in its vibrant and iconic capital, New Delhi,” said Charlotte Tilbury. “This is such a magical milestone for the brand as we continue to grow in one of the world’s most dynamic and exciting beauty markets.”
Tilbury highlighted the brand’s connection with Indian consumers. “India has always been a place of incredible beauty, celebration and transformation. I have been so inspired by the artistry, creativity and passion of our community here. They are true beauty connoisseurs that appreciate next-generation formulas,” she said.
The store is designed as an immersive retail experience, blending the brand’s Art Deco and old Hollywood aesthetic with local cues. A bespoke Royal Indian Arch anchors the space, alongside personalised makeup services tailored to Indian trends and occasions. A dedicated bridal looks wall nods to the country’s strong wedding-led beauty market, while interactive elements such as the Pillow Talk photowall and in-store masterclasses aim to drive engagement.
For the first time in India, the full Charlotte Tilbury portfolio is available under one roof, spanning makeup, skincare and fragrance, including the Fragrance Collection of Emotions and bestsellers such as Magic Cream, Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer and Pillow Talk products.
Nykaa, which operates 57 doors for the brand alongside its app and website, will now lead end-to-end management of Charlotte Tilbury’s exclusive boutiques in India, covering retail operations, staffing, supply chain, marketing and omnichannel integration.
“Charlotte Tilbury has been one of our most successful and strategic global partnerships,” said Anchit Nayar, executive director and chief executive officer, Nykaa Beauty. “The launch of the first exclusive boutique, fully operated by Nykaa, is a natural next step and reflects our shared long-term commitment to building the brand in India.”
Nykaa’s broader beauty playbook, built on digital-first entry followed by omnichannel scale, now reaches over 42 million consumers and has become a template for global brands entering India. The retailer currently serves 52 million customers through its platforms and runs 276 offline beauty destinations, reinforcing its position as a gateway for international labels.
Charlotte Tilbury, founded in 2013, now operates in over 50 markets with more than 3,000 employees and 500 products across categories, with over 3,000 distribution points globally.
A second standalone store is slated to open at Mall of India in Noida in May 2026, signalling an aggressive retail push.
In a market where beauty is fast turning from aspiration to everyday indulgence, Charlotte Tilbury is not just selling products. It is building theatre, and betting that Indian consumers are ready to buy into the spectacle.
