Mahesh Bhupathi, Rahul Bose join Colgate-Palmolive as ambassadors
MUMBAI: Oral care brand Colgate-Palmolive (India) has roped in Indian tennis player Mahesh Bhupathi and actor, rugby player Rahul Bose as ambassadors to support Colgate Total‘s awareness campaign for ‘Healthy Mouth‘.
Colgate-Palmolive (India) VP-marketing Rekha Rao said, “In India, there is a growing awareness towards maintaining a healthy body. However, not all of us realise the importance of a ‘Healthy Mouth‘.”
“Mahesh and Rahul pay a lot of emphasis on physical wellness which is critical in their professions. They will support Colgate in our endeavor to create widespread awareness on the importance of a ‘Healthy Mouth‘,” Rao added.
Bhupathi and Bose will also feature in a series of TV commercial that will be aired across the country, both on regional and national channels.
“As professional athletes, we sometimes do not give much importance to what is not visible to us. A ‘Healthy Mouth‘ is linked to our overall health and is something that cannot be taken for granted. Given our busy lifestyles, Colgate Total‘s unique formula ensures that we get the best oral care, and an overall healthy mouth,” Bhupathi added.
“When I got to know the significance of a healthy mouth for a healthy body from the leaders of oral care, Colgate, it was amazing to learn how Colgate Total so completely meets my oral care needs. Having experienced Colgate Total, I recommend it to my friends and family,” Bose added.
Available in 75 gm and 150 gm packs across the country, Colgate Total‘s formula has been granted the Seal of Acceptance by the Indian Dental Association.

MUMBAI: When one dealmaker steps off the pitch, another is ready to take the baton because in the fast-moving world of transactions, the game never really stops.

The practice will continue to be led by Mohit Chopra, ensuring continuity and sustained growth momentum.

Arora highlighted Jain’s support for clients through some of the most complex and significant transactions in the Indian market, noting his deep technical expertise, sound judgment and nuanced understanding of the evolving M&A landscape.
The Deals practice remains a key growth driver for PwC India, and the firm expects continued expansion under Mohit Chopra’s leadership. He will continue to guide clients through complex transactions and transformational business moments, building on the strong foundation established over the years.
Reflecting on his journey, Shashank Jain said, “I have had an exceptional journey at PwC. I owe my growth and learning to the nurturing environment and leadership development that PwC provided.” He added that he had been working closely with Mohit and the larger team to ensure a smooth transition and expressed confidence that Chopra would take the Deals practice to newer heights.
From intern to respected deals leader, Shashank Jain has clearly closed many successful transactions and now, it seems, he’s ready to strike a new deal of his own.
