Dentsu Impact Launches brand new campaign #BadeChamakRaheHo for Mobiistar C1 Shine
MUMBAI: After its recent win, Dentsu Impact, the creative agency from Dentsu Aegis Network, has rolled out a brand-new campaign for Mobiistar C1 Shine. In a cluttered smartphone market where every other brand is sharply positioned on a feature or a combination of features, Mobiistar C1 Shine focuses on how a feature with a combination of looks can add value to a consumer through an interesting story. C1 Shine’s eye catching ‘Mirror shine body’ is the focus of the campaign.
The communication features young, energetic, individual from a semi-urban locale who upon using C1 shine sees his day transform into something magical. It’s a story where phone magically transforms a life of an ordinary young man by being his partner in crime. The campaign is titled ’bade chamak rahe ho’.
The campaign will be rolled out pan India with a greater presence in Offline, POS and other key touch point of purchase. In a segment that is price-value conscious this campaign aims in garnering greater awareness and furthering the brand promise of Mobiistar of ‘enjoy more’ through an interesting and insightful story telling.
Speaking on the campaign Anupama Ramaswamy, National Creative Director, Dentsu Impact said, “Our consumer is constantly hunting for acceptance and acknowledgement from people in and around his/her life. Interestingly, 'Bade Chamak Rahe Ho' is a fun colloquial sentence that perfectly bridges our consumer's insight with the product truth of mirror-like shine. The film is entertaining and not preachy. The music will surely make you take notice and smile. All this helped us weave a story that we're sure it will add shine to its viewers' lives.”
Aniruddha Deb, Chief Marketing Officer, Mobiistar India added, “In a category firmly positioned on features and price-value benefits, it is Mobiistar’s vision to provide value through the best of features at a price that is accessible to small town customers. A phone to this TG is not just a phone but a device that accentuates his personality and stature. Our campaign brings alive this idea perfectly.”

YES Bank hands the keys to SBI veteran Vinay Tonse as it bets on a new era
Former SBI managing director appointed as YES Bank’s new MD and CEO
MUMBAI: YES Bank is done rebuilding. Now it wants to grow. The private sector lender has appointed Vinay Muralidhar Tonse as managing director and chief executive officer-designate, with RBI approval secured and a start date of April 6, 2026 confirmed. The three-year term signals the bank’s intent to shift gears from crisis recovery to full-throttle expansion.
Tonse, 60, is no stranger to scale. Most recently managing director at State Bank of India, he oversaw a retail book of roughly $800bn in deposits and advances, one of the largest in the country. Before that, he ran SBI Mutual Fund from August 2020 to December 2022, a stint that saw assets under management surge from Rs 4.32 lakh crore to Rs 7.32 lakh crore across market cycles. Add stints in Singapore and four years leading SBI’s overseas operations in Osaka, and the incoming chief arrives with a genuinely global CV.
His academic grounding is equally solid: a commerce degree from St Joseph’s College of Commerce, Bengaluru, and a master’s in commerce from Bangalore University.
The appointment follows an extensive search and evaluation process by the bank’s Nomination and Remuneration Committee. NRC chairperson Nandita Gurjar said the committee unanimously backed Tonse, citing his leadership track record, governance credentials and ability to drive the bank’s next phase of transformation.
Non-executive chairman Rama Subramaniam Gandhi was unequivocal. “I am certain that Vinay Tonse, with his vast experience as a senior banker, will propel YES Bank to its next phase of growth,” Gandhi said, adding that the bank remains focused on strengthening its retail and corporate banking franchises and expanding its branch network.
Rajeev Kannan, non-executive director and senior executive at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, the bank’s largest shareholder, said Tonse’s experience across retail, corporate banking, global markets and asset management positioned him well to lead the lender. SMBC said it looks forward to working with Tonse and the board as YES Bank pursues its ambition of becoming a top-tier private sector lender anchored in strong governance and sustainable growth.
Tonse succeeds Prashant Kumar, who took the helm in March 2020 when YES Bank was in freefall following a severe financial crisis, and spent six years painstakingly stabilising the institution, rebuilding governance and restoring operational scale. Gandhi was generous: “The bank remains indebted to Prashant Kumar, who is responsible for much of what a strong financial powerhouse YES Bank is today.”
Tonse, for his part, struck a purposeful note. “Together with the board and my colleagues, I remain deeply committed to creating long-term value for all our stakeholders,” he said, pledging to build on Kumar’s foundation guided by his personal motto: Make A Difference.
Beyond the balance sheet, Tonse played cricket at college and club level and represented Karnataka in archery at the national championships — sports he credits with teaching him teamwork, situational leadership, discipline and focus. In quieter moments, he reaches for retro Kannada music, classic Hindi songs, and the crooning of Engelbert Humperdinck, Mukesh and Kishore Kumar.
YES Bank has its steady-handed rebuilder in Kumar to thank for survival. Now it has a scale-obsessed growth banker at the wheel. The next chapter starts April 6.
