Maliao launches Glow-Off campaign celebrating dual beauty
MUMBAI: Maliao Cosmetics, one of India’s fastest-rising beauty brands, has rolled out its new Glow-Off campaign, a spirited celebration of duality in beauty and the many identities embraced by young Indians today. Blending cultural richness with contemporary glamour, the campaign champions creativity, inclusivity and the confidence to show every side of oneself.
Centred on the idea of everyday glam, Glow-Off showcases products designed for versatility, allowing consumers to shift effortlessly between roles, moods and styles. From expansive palettes to high-performance formulations, the range mirrors real-life self-expression and encourages beauty lovers to embrace both softness and boldness with equal flair.
The brand is also positioning its collection as a must-have for wedding glam, catering to brides seeking traditional elegance as well as those leaning towards minimalist or Western-inspired looks.
Maliao Cosmetics founder Tanveer Ali Khan, said the campaign reflects the brand’s core philosophy. “Glow-Off really represents who we are: a brand that celebrates the richness of Indian beauty in all its forms. Today’s consumers don’t fit into one box, and neither should their makeup. With this campaign, we want to empower people to honour their roots, explore new expressions and own every side of themselves with confidence.”
Reflecting shifting tastes among Gen Z and young millennials, Glow-Off embodies beauty in duality: a balance between tradition and experimentation, subtlety and drama, simplicity and artistry. Maliao’s lineup echoes this blend, offering foundations, powders, eyeliners and blushers with lightweight textures, waterproof or HD finishes, inclusive shades and sleek modern packaging.
The creative direction draws from Indian cultural motifs reimagined as minimal line art and soft gradients, offering a fresh aesthetic while staying rooted in heritage. A faceoff-style collection highlights diverse skin tones and makeup looks, with soft and bold finishes that transition effortlessly from daily wear to wedding festivities.
As Maliao continues to innovate, consumers can expect hybrid skincare-meets-makeup products, culture-led colour stories and multi-use formulas that keep pace with today’s multi-dimensional beauty landscape.

Ekart expands IKEA partnership with EV deliveries in Chennai
3PL to handle 600 plus products with 48 hour delivery via EV fleet.
MUMBAI: Flatpacks are going electric and your sofa might now arrive with a smaller carbon footprint. Ekart has expanded its partnership with IKEA to power last-mile deliveries in Chennai, doubling down on speed, scale and sustainability in one of India’s key urban markets. Under the collaboration, Ekart will manage end-to-end large-format deliveries for IKEA across the city using a 100 per cent dedicated electric vehicle fleet. The move makes Chennai the second major market after NCR-Delhi where Ekart handles IKEA’s last-mile logistics, signalling a broader rollout of EV-led supply chains.
The mandate is no small load. Ekart will oversee deliveries for over 600 products from IKEA’s catalogue, ranging from furniture to home décor—categories that demand specialised handling and precision logistics.
Backed by its technology-driven fulfilment network, Ekart is targeting deliveries within a 48-hour window, offering real-time tracking and end-to-end visibility from warehouse to doorstep. The focus is clear: faster turnarounds without compromising on control or customer experience.
The EV-first model also aligns with both companies’ sustainability goals, as urban logistics increasingly shifts towards zero-emission solutions. For IKEA, which continues to expand its omnichannel presence in India, reliable and eco-conscious last-mile delivery is becoming central to scale.
For Ekart, the partnership reinforces its positioning as an enterprise-grade logistics player in large-format commerce. The company already supports over 1,800 retail, D2C and enterprise brands, spanning last-mile delivery, part-truckload services and warehousing.
As India’s logistics ecosystem evolves, this collaboration highlights a growing trend: delivery is no longer just about distance, it’s about efficiency, experience and increasingly, emissions.
