On the campaign, Himalaya drug company business head – consumer products division Rajesh Krishnamurthy, “Brand ‘Himalaya’ has evolved over the years to become a preferred brand among young consumers in the face care category. The success story started with Purifying Neem Face Wash and today we have a vast portfolio of over 15 face care products including face washes, packs and scrubs providing unique solutions to different skin problems. We wanted to build awareness on the complete range and bring out the problem-solution USP of our products. We also wanted to communicate to our consumers that their trusted Face Wash brand is now in a new avatar.”
The TVC highlights the new packaging of the face care range. He added, “The brief to the agency was to come up with a simple, compelling creative that highlighted this news while building the brand values of trust and credibility. The TVC takes a different approach to storytelling and the music accompanying it is also catchy and appealing.”
Reiterating this, Soho Square head of office Shenaz Bapooji said, “We had great fun while creating this advertisement especially because it was another 1st for brand Himalaya!”
The commercial will debut on the popular GECs and will go live on Himalaya’s official Facebook page post the on-air release.

Gurpreet Singh named President of DishTV Alumni Network
Former Dish TV executive to lead community building and collaboration.
MUMBAI: Back to the dish, but this time it’s about connections, not channels Gurpreet Singh is returning to familiar territory with a new mandate that swaps subscribers for relationships. Singh has been appointed President of the DishTV Alumni Network, a move aimed at strengthening ties among former employees and building a more engaged professional community around the Dish TV ecosystem. The initiative reflects a growing trend among large organisations to formalise alumni networks as platforms for collaboration, mentorship and business opportunities.
The appointment draws on Singh’s deep-rooted history with Dish TV, where he held multiple leadership roles over nearly a decade. As National Business Head between June 2019 and September 2020, he oversaw profit and loss as well as operations, managing revenues of Rs 6,000 crore and leading a team of around 1,250 employees across the country. His tenure included working alongside two regional business heads and 16 circle heads, underscoring the scale of operations he handled.
Prior to that, Singh served as Executive Vice President and National Head for Sales and Revenue from 2016 to 2019, and earlier as Senior Vice President and National Head for Sales and Revenue. He also briefly led international operations as Country Head for Sri Lanka, further expanding his exposure across markets.
His broader career spans leadership roles across telecom and consumer businesses, including a stint as Chief Operating Officer at Bharti Airtel’s Malawi operations, senior leadership roles at Reliance Communications, and earlier positions at Hindustan Sanitaryware and Kodak India, where he spent over a decade.
In his new role, Singh is expected to focus on reconnecting former employees, fostering collaboration, and building a structured alumni ecosystem that leverages shared experience and industry networks. As companies increasingly recognise the long-term value of their extended workforce, the DishTV Alumni Network appears set to turn nostalgia into a strategic asset, one connection at a time.
