Myntra launches festive campaign featuring Ranbir Kapoor & Kiara Advani
New Delhi: Myntra has rolled out ‘Big Fashion Festival’ campaign for the upcoming festive season. The mega marketing campaign features Bollywood celebrities Ranbir Kapoor and Kiara Advani.
Poised to leverage Myntra’s position as India’s fashion expert, the campaign will be amplified across television, digital and social media platforms.
The campaign, with a tagline, “Myntra big fashion festival. India’s biggest fashion dhamaka. Don’t waste time,” aptly communicates the scale of the event, positioning it as the go-to destination for every fashion need this festive season, while also apprising shoppers of Myntra’s value offerings as part of the mega event.
The concept of the campaign is to take a dig at celeb culture and bring out the bigness of the event, where even the biggest celebs can’t help themselves but to get in on the action, without wasting any time. It is an event so big that everything else seems smaller, including the celebs themselves!
In this new marketing campaign, Kiara appeals as a fashion trendsetter and Ranbir’s cool demeanor are poised to accelerate conversations around Myntra’s apparel segments. They will play a pivotal role in connecting one of India’s leading fashion, beauty and lifestyle platforms with millions of new and existing fashion-forward consumers.
The 30-second ad film is currently live across multiple leading TV channels, social and digital platforms. The campaign aims to amplify recall for Myntra, which is already synonymous with fashion, beauty and lifestyle, during the upcoming festive shopping period.
As a part of Myntra’s multi-channel activation, among the most popular and most loved national celebrities, fashion and lifestyle influencers will form an important network of proponents for Myntra’s Big Fashion Festival (BFF). They will engage with a very large fan base across the country and highlight Myntra’s proposition of biggest brands, styles, products and offers to reach every part of the country and demography, with the central message of the campaign that urges shoppers to look nowhere but Myntra for all their festive fashion needs.
Speaking about his association with Myntra, Ranbir Kapoor said, “I am excited to be part of Myntra’s festive campaign this year. Fashion plays an important role during festivities and it’s that time of the year when we all refresh our wardrobes. Unarguably, Myntra’s wide collection of styles during the Big Fashion Festival will make customers swoon over.”
Speaking about her festive campaign, Kiara Advani said, “My festive campaign with Myntra this year is all about the excitement we share while getting ready to shop during the festive period. My association with Myntra , over the last two years, has made me connect with the youth of the country through my love for fashion.”
Sharing his thoughts on the launch of the campaign, Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha said, “The Big Fashion Festival brings families and loved ones together, with fashion playing a pivotal role in the festivities. This year’s marketing campaign is to highlight the magnanimity of the Big Fashion Festival, showcasing that no reason is bigger for the attention of people across the nation, not even the much-loved celebrities, than this event itself for the festivity. With this campaign, we aim to penetrate our reach to every nook and corner of the country and strike a chord with the fanbase of much beloved superstars Ranbir Kapoor and Kiara Advani.

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI: Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
