Mirinda renews endorsement contract with Asin
MUMBAI: Her perky persona in the Mirinda ad not just made the ad snazzy but Asin a face of the brand. Now, the actor, who has been endorsing Mirinda for over eight years, has been signed on to represent the soft drink brand for two more years. The deal was recently renewed as the gorgeous star is all set to take the brand’s notion of fun and pagalpanti to the next level.
This deal would make this a 10-year association of the soft drink brand and Asin, something that no actor has managed to achieve this far in the soft drink section.
A source from the brand comments: “Mirinda has extended its association with Asin with a renewal of contract which speaks highly of the kind of professional she is. No other artist has been a brand ambassador for any brand for such a long period of time. The landmark 10 years is an exemplary reestablishment of the kind of brand value Asin has brought to Mirinda.”
Asin commented: “It is always great to be part of such fun-filled campaigns by Mirinda.. I’m sure the viewers will love this fresh dose of absolute fun and pagalpanti.”

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.
