Parineeti Chopra becomes face of Speedo India
MUMBAI: Swimwear brand, Speedo, has announced Bollywood actress and fitness enthusiast Parineeti Chopra as its new fitness ambassador.
As the new face for Speedo India, Parineeti will be joining an esteemed roster of Olympians, athletes and trainers from around the globe.
Speedo, as a brand, is synonymous with performance swimwear, and via its global campaign #GetSpeedoFit, it has been working to elevate the status of swimming for fitness and reinforce that water workouts are the next big trend to get fit and achieve a total body workout.
Chopra says, “I’m excited to come on board as the fitness ambassador for Speedo India. I’ve grown up wearing Speedo swim suits and for me swimming is synonymous with Speedo. A favourite around the world, I love that Speedo now celebrates fitness and overall health. Swimming has always been a great workout which I’ve often resorted to, to cut the monotony of working out in the gym. Now, with the growing trend of water workouts there is so much more one can do in the pool to get in shape than lane swimming and I’m happy to help Speedo reinforce their commitment to fitness by encouraging more and more consumers to change their fitness routine and make the pool their new gym.”
Speedo India chief strategy officer Shamir Genomal says, “We’re really excited to welcome Parineeti Chopra as our new fitness ambassador. We remain committed in encouraging more and more people to switch their fitness regime and take up swimming or water workouts. With a fitness enthusiast like Parineeti on board, we hope to reach a lot more consumers. In addition to being the innovators of swimming, Speedo has an overarching mission to be the swimwear of choice for all, from the recreational swimmer to the Olympic champion.”
The actress will be seen sporting Speedo’s new fitness range meant for workouts in and out of the pool called Speedo H2O Active. Made with the modern fitness enthusiast in mind, H2O Active is designed for those who want more from their workouts. With so much choice on offer, H2O Active lends itself to a multitude of land and water based activities. With water workouts no longer just meaning lane swimming; with the help of training aids and HIIT exercises, fitness enthusiasts can achieve more in the water than ever before with this new range.

EcoMedia Solutions launches EcoMeter to track carbon impact in media
New tool aims to bring real data and accountability to ads and events
GURUGRAM: EcoMedia Solutions has rolled out EcoMeter, a new solution designed to bring sharper carbon accountability to advertising, media, marketing and events.
Built on its proprietary EMS platform, EcoMeter aims to help brands and agencies measure the environmental impact of campaigns and on-ground activations using real-world data rather than broad estimates.
The move comes as sustainability gains traction across boardrooms, even as measurement within the advertising ecosystem remains patchy and often reliant on spend-based assumptions. EcoMeter attempts to change that by using localised emission factors and activity-based inputs, offering a more grounded view of carbon output.
“Today, most carbon calculations in our industry are derived from spends or broad averages. That does not reflect what is actually happening on the ground,” said EcoMedia Solutions founder & CEO Rumjhum Gupta. She added that the tool factors in variables such as location, execution and materials to deliver a more accurate picture.
The platform allows users to compare media choices based on environmental impact, plan lower-carbon campaigns and generate data-backed ESG and BRSR reports. It spans formats including OOH, DOOH, print, digital and live events, bringing sustainability into the same decision-making framework as cost and performance.
EcoMedia Solutions says the larger goal is to move the industry beyond surface-level sustainability claims towards measurable action. As scrutiny from consumers, investors and regulators intensifies, tools like EcoMeter could play a key role in helping brands back intent with credible data.
With this launch, the company is betting that the next big metric in advertising will not just be reach or ROI, but impact that can be counted in carbon.
