Myntra unveils latest campaign featuring Hrithik Roshan & Kiara Advani
Mumbai: Myntra has launched a star-studded brand campaign with the roll-out of ad films starring Bollywood superstars Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. The duo, in their individual ad films, will drive home Myntra’s fashion narrative, with millions of their fans from all over the country. The brand is implementing a 360-degree approach, leveraging TV, digital and social media platforms to deliver the campaign across the nation.
With this association, Myntra is all set to strengthen its strong connect with its consumers, influence and accelerate the business, further strengthening its leadership in the market, said the brand in a statement.
In the 35-second ad films, conceptualised by Brave New World, the actors are projected as a personification of the Myntra brand, as they take them through the brand’s value proposition one by one, with varying backgrounds and stunning looks.
The campaign delivers a message of Myntra as ‘India’s fashion expert’, leaving consumers with a direct, clear and memorable takeaway: ‘If it’s fashion, it’s Myntra’. Additionally, the messaging surrounds Myntra’s unique differentiating features like Myntra Studio, a shoppable fashion feed where customers can get inspired and shop the looks of India’s top influencers and photo search, a feature that enables users to shop any item they see with just a click, the brand further said.
“Our new brand campaign and the ad films with Hrithik and Kiara have been conceived to reinforce Myntra’s image and perception as India’s fashion expert, among millions of people, who are ardent fans of the two Bollywood superstars and top fashion icons in our country,” said Myntra CMO Harish Narayanan. “We aim to cut across demographics and build a deeper relationship with our customers across the country through this campaign and look forward to its grand success.”
“My association with Myntra goes back many years to the time HRX was launched on Myntra in 2013. Over the years, I have come to learn and witness firsthand, the ethos and workings of Myntra,” said Hrithik Roshan. “It not only understands the needs, demands and desires of a diverse audience base from across the country, but also identifies and caters to requirements at the doorstep, that is as convenient as fashion can get.”
Kiara Advani added, “Being a fashion enthusiast myself, it has been an enjoyable experience and association in conveying the latest styles and trends in fashion to the discerning audience. The encouraging response and abundant love from the viewers have added to the drive to offer fashionable solutions to the audience. With our new campaign that delivers a subtle yet powerful message, I’m looking forward to relying on Myntra for all our fashion needs.”

Aman Gupta’s OFF/BEAT secures Rs 100 crore seed funding round
Bessemer backs new venture betting on AI and India’s digital shift
MUMBAI: Aman Gupta has raised Rs 100 crore in seed funding for his new venture OFF/BEAT, with Bessemer Venture Partners leading the round as it bets on a new wave of AI-led, consumer-first businesses in India.
The funding marks an early but significant push for OFF/BEAT, which is positioned to tap into a rapidly evolving market shaped by a digitally native generation and advances in artificial intelligence. The venture aims to build at the intersection of culture and technology, where brand identity and innovation increasingly go hand in hand.
Gupta, best known for co-founding boAt and scaling it into a Rs 3,000 crore-plus business, is now looking to apply those learnings to a new playbook. His focus this time is not just on building a consumer brand, but on leveraging AI and global networks to accelerate growth.
OFF/BEAT founder Aman Gupta said, “Having built from scratch before, I know what capital can do and what it cannot. This time, I was looking for partners with a global perspective who can help me leverage technology and AI, because that is where the future lies. Bessemer’s track record with companies like Anthropic, Shopify, Canva and LinkedIn says it all.”
The choice of investor reflects that ambition. Bessemer Venture Partners has backed global technology players such as Anthropic, Shopify, Canva and LinkedIn, bringing not just capital but strategic support and global reach.
Bessemer Venture Partners partner Anant Vidur Puri said, “We back founders who see around corners. Aman saw how a new India would come to think about aspiration, identity and quality, and built boAt as proof. He is now applying that same instinct to a market being reshaped by AI and by a generation with entirely new expectations.”
The investment comes at a time when India’s startup ecosystem is being reshaped by both consumer behaviour and technological disruption. Founders are increasingly expected to understand not just products, but the cultural shifts that drive adoption.
For OFF/BEAT, the journey is just beginning, but the signal is clear. In a market where attention is fleeting and expectations are rising, building something truly distinctive may be the only way to stay on beat.
