Fixderma Schools teens in smart skincare habits
MUMBAI: Fixderma is giving acne a lesson to remember. The dermatologist-prescribed skincare brand has wrapped up its engaging school campaign, Skin Investment, aimed at helping teenagers make smart, science-backed skincare choices before problems strike.
Targeting students aged 13 to 16, the initiative reached over 20 schools across NCR through dermatologist talks, interactive workshops and hands-on learning modules powered by Fixderma’s Salyzap range, a clinically formulated line for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
Students not only soaked up expert advice but also showed surprising creativity, coining slogans like “Skin achi toh din acha” and “Treat your skin like a plant, hydrate it every day.” The campaign made skincare fun, relatable and rooted in confidence.
“Too often, teens start thinking about skincare only after a breakout,” said Fixderma founder and CEO Shaily Mehrotra. “With Skin Investment, we wanted to shift that mindset from reactive to preventive. Just like financial literacy, skin literacy should start early, because healthy skin is a lifelong investment.”
Fixderma chairman Anurag Mehrotra added, “The response from schools has been phenomenal. Our aim was not sales but awareness. When children understand their skin, they become more confident and responsible. Education is at the heart of our brand’s purpose.”
Following its successful Pimple Police campaign for college students, Fixderma continues to carve a niche as a skincare brand that leads with science, empathy and education. With its philosophy skin first, confidence always, the company now plans to take skin investment nationwide, ensuring every young face gets a healthy head start.

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.
