MAGGI sets out to celebrate the extraordinary with Masala-Ae-Magic and Juhi Chawla
MUMBAI: Cooking is an integral part of every mother’s life. It is her way of showing her love and devotion towards her family. But who would have thought that it could also be a simple tool to impart impactful life lessons to her young teens? MAGGI, through its new campaign for ‘Masala-ae-Magic’ showcases exactly this.
The campaign features the well-known Bollywood superstar Juhi Chawla. Known for her stellar performances on the silver screen, Juhi will be donning the cap of a mother who teaches her son an empowering lesson through every day cooking- ‘It is in your hands how you transform the ordinary to extra-ordinary’.
Talking about the campaign, Mr. Nikhil Chand, Director, Foods and Confectionery, Nestlé India said, “At MAGGI we realize that parenting is an immensely fulfilling but also challenging and demanding experience. Mothers are always looking to guide their teenagers and impart important life lessons that will prepare them for the future. One of these important life lessons is about a young teen’s attitude to everyday life- the ability to transform the ordinary to extra ordinary through one’s actions. Our new MAGGI Masala-ae-Magic campaign captures this insight beautifully and we are very excited to have Juhi Chawla as brand ambassador and as our newest MAGGI mom. MAGGI Masala-ae-Magic is a great cooking aid to mothers everywhere as it enhances the taste of every day vegetables and makes them extra-ordinarily tasty with its special blend of 10 roasted, aromatic spices.
On her association with the brand, Juhi Chawla said, “Associating with a brand that has such a legacy is always delightful. I believe Masala-Ae-Magic is the magical, secret ingredient for those who cook daily. As a mother of young teenagers, I totally understand how tough it is to keep children happy with everyday food, made at home. Adding Masala-Ae-Magic really goes a long way in making ordinary, everyday food extraordinarily tasty.”
The new campaign will have a high impact multimedia release encompassing television, digital, print and on-ground activations.

Magellanic Cloud names Syed Ameeruddin CEO of e-surveillance arm
Keeping a sharper eye on the future, Magellanic Cloud is putting a seasoned watcher in charge.
MUMBAI – Magellanic Cloud Ltd. has elevated Syed Ameeruddin as Chief Executive Officer of its e-surveillance business, bringing its iVIS and Provigil operations under a unified leadership to accelerate growth in intelligent monitoring and infrastructure solutions.
Ameeruddin, a nearly two-decade veteran of the company, steps into the role after leading the e-surveillance vertical. His career trajectory—from Business Development Manager to the top of the vertical—reflects a steady climb built on operational depth, client engagement, and strategic execution across multiple subsidiaries.
Over the years, he has played a central role in expanding the company’s footprint, strengthening client relationships, and streamlining operations. He has also been instrumental in integrating acquisitions, helping align new businesses with Magellanic Cloud’s long-term strategy while stabilising performance across diverse domains.
More recently, Ameeruddin has contributed to securing key mandates spanning railways, the National Highways Authority of India, and the BFSI sector—wins that have bolstered the company’s order book and deepened its presence in critical infrastructure.
Commenting on the move, Joseph Sudheer Thumma said Ameeruddin’s leadership has been “pivotal in shaping the e-surveillance business,” citing his ability to drive growth, build teams, and deliver strategic wins as key to the company’s journey. His elevation, Thumma added, is expected to further accelerate expansion in AI-driven surveillance and infrastructure solutions.
The transition comes as demand surges for AI-enabled monitoring, centralised command systems, and large-scale deployments across mission-critical environments. Magellanic Cloud’s e-surveillance segment—anchored by iVIS and Provigil—has emerged as a significant growth engine, delivering projects across banking, transport, highways, and public infrastructure.
In his new role, Ameeruddin will focus on scaling platform capabilities, expanding deployments in complex environments, and developing integrated solutions that enhance real-time intelligence and operational resilience. He will continue to serve as Chief Operating Officer of the company alongside his new responsibilities.
With this leadership shift, Magellanic Cloud is doubling down on its ambition to stay ahead in India’s rapidly evolving surveillance ecosystem—where seeing, increasingly, is not just believing, but predicting.
