Fortune Whole Wheat launches first TVC campaign to bake trust into every grain
MUMBAI: Fortune Whole Wheat, the packaged whole wheat brand from AWL Agri Business Ltd. (formerly Adani Wilmar Ltd.), has hit the screens with its maiden television campaign titled ‘Shuddhata Ki Sahi Parakh’. Launched on 26 May 2025, the campaign aims to set Fortune apart in India’s fragmented whole wheat segment by leaning on trust, purity, and provenance.
The TVC, airing in Maharashtra and Gujarat, unfolds in a classic kirana store where a young girl questions the quality of the wheat her family buys. Her curiosity drives home the key differentiators of Fortune Whole Wheat: uniform grain size, colour, strength, and trusted sourcing. The visual storytelling nudges consumers to ditch loose wheat in favour of Fortune’s branded, batch-tested assurance.
“This campaign is more than just a product message — it’s a heartfelt tribute to the Indian farmer and the informed consumer. Through these TVCs, we invite viewers on a journey to the source of real quality”, said AWL Agri Business Ltd SVP & business head – sales & marketing Mukesh Mishra.
Fortune Whole Wheat entered the market in May 2023 and quickly positioned itself as India’s only national player in the branded whole wheat category. The brand guarantees access to the purest wheat seeds across varieties like Sharbati, Poorna 1544, Lokwan, Premium Grade 1, and MP Grade 1. These grains are sun-ripened, harvested with precision, and procured from select Indian farms.
Every batch undergoes stringent quality checks to ensure nutritional value and consistent texture. The campaign underlines this disciplined sourcing and testing, offering consumers confidence that every grain delivers on both taste and health.
The Marathi and Gujarati TVCs are currently live across television, digital, cinema, and regional platforms, underscoring AWL Agri Business’s strategy to deepen consumer connect in high-priority wheat markets.

Beacon Group appoints Dr Rajesh Patel as Group CEO
36-year healthcare veteran to lead Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek, Biogeny.
MUMBAI: A new chief, a fresh diagnosis and a sharper prescription for growth. Beacon Group has appointed Dr Rajesh Patel as its Group Chief Executive Officer, effective April 1, 2026, signalling a decisive push to scale its presence in the diagnostics and IVD space. Patel steps into the role with 36 years of experience across the healthcare and diagnostics industry, bringing a career shaped by leadership roles spanning sales, marketing, business development and operational strategy. His mandate is both expansive and precise: to steer the group’s overall strategic direction while tightening coordination across its three core entities Beacon Diagnostics, Vector Biotek and Biogeny Diagnostics.
In practical terms, that means driving cross-company synergies, accelerating market expansion and strengthening organisational capability areas increasingly critical as diagnostic players compete for scale in a fragmented yet rapidly evolving healthcare ecosystem. The group is positioning itself to capture unmet demand across chain laboratories, key accounts and standalone labs, segments that remain underserved despite growing diagnostic needs.
The appointment comes at a time when the In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) sector in India is entering a more competitive and innovation-led phase, with companies focusing not just on product pipelines but also on service delivery, integration and customer-centric models. Beacon’s leadership appears to be betting that Patel’s execution-focused approach can help translate ambition into operational momentum.
Welcoming the appointment, Chairman Dr D K Joshi described Patel’s induction as a strategic move aligned with the group’s long-term vision, emphasising the role of leadership depth in navigating the next phase of growth.
For Beacon Group, the message is clear, in a sector where precision matters, leadership is the new differentiator—and this appointment is intended to set the tone for what comes next.
