Fastrack collaborates with Ananya Panday for new campaign
MUMBAI: Motivating everyone to stay fit, Fastrack announced a social message with a series of three videos featuring youth icon Ananya Panday.
Fastrack’s collaboration with the Bollywood star Ananya Panday has come at a very opportune time. With this video series, the brand aims to engage with their TG, the Gen-Z’s, who are stuck at home with nothing but their own company to enjoy. These 12-second films capture Ananya’s spirit of making the best of every situation with her unique style validating that this is the best time to experiment and be as outrageous as they like, as long as they #StayTheFIn.
Fastrack marketing head Ayushman Chiranewala said, "Fastrack being India’s iconic youth fashion brand always approaches things in a fresh and interesting manner. With over a month of lockdown while counting more days, our latest #StayTheFIn campaign aims to motivate consumers to stay put, while utilizing the time at home innovatively. Fastrack invites its audience to make the best out of the current situation by exploring what they wish to do to be sane and quirking it up like always even in this scenario. As part of the larger campaign, the brand attempts to ask its target audience to keep behaving responsibly and keep experimenting and Fastrack celebrates this bold spirit".
Commenting on the idea, Lowe Lintas regional creative officer Puneet Kapoor said, "Fastrack has always been a nimble-footed brand reflecting modern youth codes and pop-culture codes in quirky ways. There’s a bright side to the current lockdown too and we’re seeing a spurt of creative expressions across social media platforms whether it’s culinary, music, dance or the arts. That’s exactly is the point of these ads asking people to find their crazy groove and stay the f*ck indoors."
The multi-film campaign is live across Fastrack's online platforms.

PwC India announces leadership change in Deals practice
Shashank Jain steps down as co-leader after nearly three decades with the firm.
MUMBAI: When one dealmaker steps off the pitch, another is ready to take the baton because in the fast-moving world of transactions, the game never really stops. PwC India has announced a leadership transition in its Deals practice, with Shashank Jain stepping down from his role as co-leader to pursue an opportunity in the industry. The practice will continue to be led by Mohit Chopra, ensuring continuity and sustained growth momentum.
PwC India partner and leader for advisory dinesh Arora paid tribute to Jain’s contributions. “We deeply appreciate the significant contributions made by Shashank over close to three decades he has spent with PwC, particularly his defining role in shaping and strengthening our Transaction Services practice in India,” he said. Arora highlighted Jain’s support for clients through some of the most complex and significant transactions in the Indian market, noting his deep technical expertise, sound judgment and nuanced understanding of the evolving M&A landscape.
The Deals practice remains a key growth driver for PwC India, and the firm expects continued expansion under Mohit Chopra’s leadership. He will continue to guide clients through complex transactions and transformational business moments, building on the strong foundation established over the years.
Reflecting on his journey, Shashank Jain said, “I have had an exceptional journey at PwC. I owe my growth and learning to the nurturing environment and leadership development that PwC provided.” He added that he had been working closely with Mohit and the larger team to ensure a smooth transition and expressed confidence that Chopra would take the Deals practice to newer heights.
From intern to respected deals leader, Shashank Jain has clearly closed many successful transactions and now, it seems, he’s ready to strike a new deal of his own.
