Godrej Ezee and Gul Panag join hands for ‘Ezee Hugs’
Mumbai: Liquid detergent brand Godrej Ezee has joined hands with actor entrepreneur Gul Panag for its campaign ‘Ezee Hugs’ under which it helps underprivileged children prepare for winters by distributing free sweaters.
To flag off the initiative, Gul Panag met the kids in New Delhi and distributed new sweaters amongst them. As part of the initiative, Ezee and Gul will jointly distribute more than 4000 sweaters across North India.
Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL) CEO – India & SAARC Sunil Kataria said, “Ezee Hugs began in 2011, and has grown over the years with the support of multiple stakeholders. This year, we are pleased to partner with Gul Panag who is known to take up causes that matter. Our intent is to not just donate sweaters but also bring the attention of more people on this issue. We want to ensure that no underprivileged child suffers due to lack of appropriate means to keep themselves warm.”
While speaking about her association with Ezee Hugs, Gul Panag, said, “From health impact to school attendance, the impact of cold weather on kids with no proper woolen wear is significant. Yet, there are fewer initiatives or people talking about it. Ezee Hugs is one such initiative that has stood strong and made people aware of this issue for over 10 years now. This is why I chose to partner with Godrej Ezee so that we can reach out to more people and ensure no underprivileged kid has to be without woolens.”
Thousands of underprivileged, school-going children across the Northern belt, bear the harsh winters without the warmth of woolens. Through this social good campaign, Godrej Ezee wanted to build awareness about this hardship and help alleviate it by urging people to donate their woolens for children.

YFLO appoints Tania Nijhawan as president for 2026-27 term
Dentist-entrepreneur to lead women’s body amid rising focus on leadership
NEW DELHI: Young FICCI Ladies Organisation (YFLO), the women’s arm of FICCI, has appointed Tania Nijhawan as its president for the 2026-27 tenure, effective April 2026, at a time when conversations around women’s leadership in India are gaining fresh momentum.
A cosmetic and paediatric dentist with over 15 years of experience, Nijhawan is the founder of Udana Wellness, a multi-speciality clinic in Vasant Vihar known for its focus on advanced treatments and patient-centric care. She also serves as director at Nijhawan Group and is an active investor in start-ups across health, wellness and hospitality, including Nuts For Us.
Her academic credentials include advanced training from global institutions such as New York University, the University of Southern California and University College London, shaping her multidisciplinary approach across dentistry and wellness.
YFLO has long positioned itself as a platform for leadership, entrepreneurship and professional growth, bringing together women across industries to drive dialogue and collaboration. Under Nijhawan’s leadership, the organisation is expected to sharpen its focus on cross-sector engagement and meaningful, future-facing conversations.
Speaking on her appointment, Tania Nijhawan said, “YFLO has always stood for meaningful engagement and forward-thinking dialogue. I look forward to building a platform that not only encourages exchange of ideas but also actively supports emerging voices and creates opportunities for collaboration across sectors.”
She added, “The Women’s Reservation Bill, which seeks to reserve 33% of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies, is not just a policy shift, it is a generational opportunity. It acknowledges the urgent need for women to have a stronger voice in shaping the nation’s future. True progress lies not just in representation, but in enabling women to lead with agency, confidence and impact.”
As president, Nijhawan will focus on curated programming, high-impact industry conversations and initiatives that bring together women across disciplines. Her theme for the year, “Lead With Your Light,” signals a push towards purpose-led leadership and greater confidence among emerging voices.
Her appointment marks a new chapter for YFLO, one that aims to align leadership, enterprise and policy at a time when women’s voices are increasingly central to India’s growth story.
