Emami ties up with Dhanush starrer ‘3’
MUMBAI: FMCG company Emami has tied up with the movie ‘3‘ for in-film promotion of their brand Himani Navratna Oil. This movie is south Indian actor Rajnikant‘s daughter Aishwarya Dhanush‘s directorial debut and stars actor-singer Dhanush and Shruti Hassan in the lead roles.
The movie is slated for release in April 2012.
Emami aims to connect with consumers with the proposition of ‘cool‘, keeping in mind the success Kolaveri Di has had with the youth. Himani Navratna oil currently goes with the tagline of”thanda thanda cool cool”.
Emami‘s Krishna Mohan said,”Emami has for the first time tied up with a Tamil movie ‘3‘ for an in-film promotion of the brand Himani Navratna. We are hopeful that the in-film tie up will help in giving that extra mileage to the product. Our previous experiences with film stars in sensitizing Emami products have proved worthy.”
The original movie version of the song”Why this Kolaveri Di” has been recently filmed in a set made to replicate the crowded shopping street of Chennai Marina beach. The song‘s visuals show Dhanush‘s heartbreak for Hassan and Navratna Oil being positioned as a stress reliever.
Apart from this tie up, Navratna is endorsed by celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Suriya, Jr NTR, Chiranjeevi and Mahesh Babu to name a few. Along with a presence in print, electronic media and radio, the brand is also promoted heavily through consumer engagement programs.
In the past too, Emami has used in-film placement of a brand with ‘Agar Tum Na Hote‘, in which Rajesh Khanna, playing the role of Emami‘s owner, hires Raj Babbar to photograph Rekha.

TCS and ServiceNow join forces to fast-track AI in enterprises
New partnership aims to turn clunky workflows into smart, self-learning engines
MUMBAI: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and ServiceNow have teamed up to help businesses move from AI experiments to full-scale adoption. The multi-year partnership will see TCS building industry-specific AI solutions on the ServiceNow platform, transforming slow, manual processes into intelligent, autonomous workflows that learn and improve over time.
Enterprises are eager for smarter ways to handle back-office functions like HR, finance, supply chain, procurement, and employee services. With this collaboration, TCS will offer AI-led solutions that bring together trusted AI, modern workflows, and deep industry knowledge, helping businesses work faster, smarter, and more efficiently.
ServiceNow president and chief product officer Amit Zavery said, “Enterprises need partners who can combine innovation, execution, and governance. Together with TCS, we are embedding AI directly into workflows, modernising legacy systems, and driving measurable results.”
TCS executive director and COO Aarthi Subramanian added, “Companies are ready to move beyond pilots to enterprise-wide transformation. Our partnership will embed intelligence across IT, operations, and customer functions, unlocking speed, efficiency, and lasting advantage.”
The solutions are designed to break down silos, giving organisations a holistic, insight-driven view. HR operations, for instance, could shift from fragmented services to a smooth hire-to-retire lifecycle, boosting productivity and engagement. Similarly, order processing could evolve from a slow, multi-step cycle into a fast-moving engine that drives revenue and cash flow.
TCS is already ServiceNow’s largest user for IT Asset Management, rolling out the system across thousands of devices in just three months. Both companies will also invest in co-innovation labs, solution showcases, and joint go-to-market initiatives to bring these AI capabilities to clients.
With this partnership, enterprises can look forward to workflows that think for themselves, helping businesses stay ahead in the AI era.
