Flamingo renews collaboration with Hrithik Roshan as brand partner
Mumbai: Flamingo, a flagship consumer healthcare brand of Ascent Meditech Ltd, has renewed its brand partnership with Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan.
With the continued collaboration with the star, Flamingo aims to sustain and magnify their vision of ‘Making the World Pain Free.’ Over the years Hrithik has epitomised fitness, trust and quality, fundamentals that resonate with the brand’s aesthetics, functionality and product portfolio, said the company in a statement.
Talking about the collaboration, Hrithik Roshan said, “My association with Flamingo comes from my history of dealing with aches and pains through my journey as an actor, where I’ve had to put pressure on my body for various requirements like performing action or a difficult dance step. From a disturbed nights sleep to hindering the most basic daily tasks, pains lead to unrest in the mind and body.”
“The products offered by Flamingo serve as pain relief solutions to various types of injuries. With over 30 years of being in the market, Flamingo has observed the physical struggles of the public and developed aids to live pain-free. I’m happy to be associating with a brand that works wonders for me personally,” added the actor.
The renewed collaboration will kick start a 360-degree brand campaign that will engage the existing and potential brand audience through diverse media interfaces such as television, print, digital, BTL and DTH network, said the brand.
Ascent Meditech Ltd founder and MD Rajiv Mistry said, “Our partnership with Hrithik has been going very strong and our flagship brand Flamingo, has now emerged as one of the Most Trusted Brands in India. Through our earlier campaigns, brand Flamingo has been able to cement its space in the consumer’s mind as a ‘Trusted Partner in Pain’ offering ‘An Aid for a New Life’. Hence, when the question of renewal of association came, it was a no-brainer, for myself and my team.”
“During the initial years of the association, Flamingo with its 350+ products had focused its efforts towards corporate umbrella branding with the objective of garnering awareness among the targeted audience. This renewed association would see brand Flamingo unfurl a campaign where our Brand Ambassador is seen using Flamingo products to combat pain and partaking in everyday activities,” Ascent Meditech Limited VP Sales & Marketing Rakesh Kumar said.

Hyundai India posts record April sales with 17-per cent growth
Domestic sales hit 51,902 units, exports stand at 13,708 units
MUMBAI: Hyundai is clearly shifting gears and April has put the pedal firmly to the metal. Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has reported its highest-ever domestic sales for the month of April, clocking 51,902 units in April 2026, marking a 17 per cent year-on-year growth. The milestone sets a strong tone for the new financial year, signalling sustained demand momentum across its portfolio. Alongside domestic performance, the company recorded export volumes of 13,708 units for the month, underlining its continued strength in overseas markets.
The growth has been driven by a mix of refreshed models and special editions across segments. Recent launches and updates including the Exter, Verna, Ioniq 5, Creta Summer Edition, Grand i10 NIOS Vibe Edition and Venue Knight Edition have helped keep the line-up competitive in an increasingly crowded market.
A standout performer was the Venue, which recorded its highest-ever monthly domestic sales of 12,420 units. The model’s 5-Star Bharat NCAP safety rating, including for the VENUE N Line, appears to have bolstered consumer confidence, reflecting a broader industry shift where safety credentials are becoming a key purchase driver.
Tarun Garg, Managing Director and CEO, HMIL, said the company has carried forward recent momentum into the new financial year, with product interventions and safety-focused positioning playing a central role in driving growth.
The numbers suggest Hyundai’s strategy is ticking multiple boxes fresh product cycles, safety-led messaging and steady export performance. If April is any indication, the company isn’t just starting the year strong, it’s aiming to keep the engine running at full throttle.
