Mouni shines bright as Ivana Jewels’ new face in sparkling TVC debut
MUMBAI: When it comes to diamonds, the script often writes itself sparkle, shine, forever. But Ivana Jewels has decided to flip the script, quite literally. In its first-ever television commercial, the fast-growing lab-grown diamond brand has roped in actress-entrepreneur Mouni Roy as brand ambassador, asking audiences to “See it. Wear it. Believe it.”
The ad takes a behind-the-scenes route, with Mouni ditching scripted lines to simply invite viewers to “see for yourself.” The focus is refreshingly unorthodox not on the science of lab-grown diamonds, but on what today’s buyers really crave: design, individuality, and the sheer joy of jewellery that feels personal.
“Mouni Roy represents the modern woman who values authenticity and individuality, which are also the values at the heart of Ivana Jewels,” said Ivana Jewels co-founder Ayushi Jindal. “Her journey from television to films reflects the confidence and style our brand stands for, making her the right choice as we expand across India.”
For Mouni, the association feels just as personal. “I’m truly excited to join hands with Ivana Jewels as their brand ambassador,” she said. “What I love about Ivana is how their jewellery is designed to feel personal and real, not just for special occasions but as part of everyday style. This campaign is all about celebrating confidence, authenticity, and the joy of wearing jewellery that truly belongs to you.”
The Surat-based brand, known for its lab-grown diamond and Polki jewellery, is in expansion mode, aiming to connect with a new generation of buyers who value sustainable luxury as much as individuality. With customisation, personalisation and accessibility at the heart of its offering, Ivana is betting big on the future of diamonds that sparkle with both glamour and conscience.
By marrying star power with sustainability, Ivana Jewels isn’t just polishing gems, it’s polishing a new way of looking at jewellery.

Vodafone Idea elevates Vineeth Jayendranath as VP, marketing head Mumbai
Telecom marketer takes charge of Mumbai circle with growth and brand focus
MUMBAI: Vodafone Idea Limited has promoted Vineeth Jayendranath to vice president, marketing head for the Mumbai circle, marking a key milestone in his career as the telecom operator sharpens its regional strategy.
In his new role, Jayendranath will lead marketing efforts across prepaid and postpaid segments in one of the country’s most competitive telecom markets. His mandate includes driving revenue growth, strengthening brand positioning, and deepening customer engagement, while also managing profit and loss responsibilities for the circle.
Sharing the update, Vineeth Jayendranath said, “Excited to share, I am starting my new stint as Vice President, Marketing Head for Mumbai circle at Vodafone Idea Ltd. Would like to thank everyone who has supported me in this journey.”
Jayendranath brings over 12 years of experience spanning telecom and IT, with a strong focus on customer value management and data-led marketing. Since joining Vodafone Idea, he has held multiple leadership roles, most recently serving as general manager leading customer value management and prepaid business across Gujarat, Maharashtra and Goa.
During this period, he handled large subscriber bases and multi-billion rupee revenue portfolios, while rolling out hyper-personalised campaigns and a “segment of one” strategy to improve customer retention and upgrades. He also championed a digital-first approach, pushing adoption of data services and unlimited plans through targeted, insight-driven initiatives.
Earlier, he worked with Idea Cellular Ltd in strategy and business intelligence roles, and began his career at Infosys as a systems engineer. A brief stint at Hyundai Motor India Ltd during his internship added early exposure to marketing strategy.
An alumnus of SVKM’s Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Jayendranath has steadily built a reputation for combining analytics with marketing execution.
His elevation comes as telecom players double down on circle-level strategies to stay competitive, and Vodafone Idea appears to be betting on data-backed marketing to keep Mumbai firmly in its corner.
