Licious announces association with ‘Bigg Boss’
Mumbai: The famous meat brand Licious has been associated with the country’s most popular and longest-running reality show, Bigg Boss, for its latest season.
As part of this unique integration, Licious will cater to contestants’ meat cravings by setting up an experiential zone called The Licious Greed Zone in the house.
Bigg Boss is arguably the most preferred prime-time viewing by fans of the show, and adding to its charm is the host, Salman Khan. The iconic show enjoys a plethora of celebrity associations and brand engagements, which is a testimony to the show’s value.
Joining this club, Licious will be offering its assorted range of premium quality and delectable varieties of fresh meat, seafood, and ready-to-cook items in the house. The tie-up will also roll out an interactive contest, where Bigg Boss fans will get a chance to vote for their favourite Licious staple on the Licious app. The most-voted dish will be available in the Licious Greed Zone inside the Bigg Boss House. The dish with the maximum number of votes will find its way to the participants, also giving the audience a chance to become a part of the show. To take things a notch higher, three lucky voters will get the golden chance of meeting Bollywood superstar Salman Khan!
Speaking about the association, Licious vice president of brand development Santosh Hegde said, “Bigg Boss is the epitome of entertainment and laughter. The show comes with a massive reach and an ever-increasing viewership, which only makes it a perfect platform for integration. At Licious, we are always looking out for moments to bring people together because food is the greatest emotion for all of us, and nobody knows meat like us! Our partnership with Bigg Boss is an exciting move through which we are ready to showcase our wide variety of products, catering to every taste and craving. What makes it better is that the audience will also get an opportunity to help their favourite housemates get the best of Licious via the greed zone.”

Raj Cooling Systems launches Agreyas appliances brand
Emraan Hashmi named brand ambassador for consumer appliance push.
MUMBAI: A company known for cooling solutions is now heating up its ambitions in the home appliances market. Raj Cooling Systems Pvt. Ltd. has launched a new consumer appliances brand, Agreyas, marking its entry into India’s rapidly expanding home appliances sector valued at more than Rs 1.5 lakh crore. The move represents a strategic diversification for the company, which has traditionally focused on cooling solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Through Agreyas, the firm plans to tap into growing consumer demand for energy efficient and technology driven household appliances.
To build brand visibility, Agreyas has appointed Emraan Hashmi as its brand ambassador. The campaign has been developed under the banner of Zoommantra Productions, with actor and filmmaker Rohit Roy contributing to the creative direction.
The brand’s initial portfolio will include mid premium air conditioners, washing machines, geysers and other white goods designed to cater to modern Indian households seeking efficient and reliable appliances.
Raj Cooling Systems, founder and chairman Kalpesh Ramoliya said the launch aligns with the company’s broader expansion plans.
“The launch of Agreyas is in line with our vision to build a strong presence in India’s consumer electronics and home appliances market. The brand has been developed as a standalone identity to meet the evolving needs of Indian consumers,” he said.
Hashmi said the collaboration comes at a time when Indian buyers are increasingly looking for innovative and functional home solutions.
“I’m looking forward to working with Agreyas at a time when consumers are seeking more innovative and efficient home products. The brand reflects changing consumer behaviour around functionality, innovation and ease of use,” he said.
Raj Cooling Systems plans to invest around 10 million dollars in developing the brand, with an additional 5 million dollars earmarked over the next three to five years for product development and distribution expansion.
Agreyas will follow a multi channel distribution approach, selling through online platforms, retail outlets and dealer networks aimed at both urban and semi urban markets across India.
With the launch, the company is positioning Agreyas as a standalone consumer facing brand while continuing to leverage its existing manufacturing, engineering and research capabilities built through its core cooling solutions business.
