Raymond mannequins “Out on traffic duty”
MUMBAI: Showing solidarity with understaffed and overworked Bengaluru Traffic Police, Color Plus showrooms, from the house of Raymonds has come up with a unique in-store marketing activity in the city. The stores have been armoured with black displays instead of mannequins with a sign reading “Out on traffic duty, will be back soon.”
The aim is to support the initiative of the city traffic police to get motorists to follow traffic rules and observe lane discipline. Recently, the traffic police had installed as many as 200 life-sized mannequins at troublesome junctions in Bengaluru.
Acquiring new customers is the backbone of every business and the most challenging task. But even more important is to stay relevant to the local communities. Marketers are engaging in interesting activities to be a part of the community and with the latest on-ground initiative, and Raymond's activity is turning out to be an exemplary feat.

Collective Artists Network reshuffles talent leadership
Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee take expanded roles in core division.
MUMBAI: Collective Artists Network just handed the talent baton to its homegrown stars because when your agents have been building careers this long, it’s time to let them run the show. Collective Artists Network has announced the next phase of leadership for its talent management business, elevating senior agents Fiona D’Souza, Jinal Jhaveri and Arjun Banerjee to expanded roles within the division. The move strengthens the company’s foundational talent arm while it continues to grow into content creation and production-led ventures.
Each of the three has played a significant part in shaping artist careers across films, digital platforms and brand partnerships. Together they now represent the next generation of leadership for Collective’s talent operations, with a continued focus on long-term career building, strong partnerships and adapting representation to a fast-changing media landscape.
Collective Artists Network founder and Group CEO Vijay Subramaniam remains actively involved in guiding artist strategy and key relationships. He said, “Talent management has been the foundation on which Collective was built, and that philosophy continues to guide how we grow the company. As we enter this next phase, it’s important that the people leading this business have both deep context and long-term convictions.”
Collective Artists Network partner and head of talent Janahavi Rawal added, “Collective’s talent business has always been built on trust, long-term thinking, and a deep understanding of where artists want to go next. Fiona, Jinal, and Arjun have each played an important role in shaping the careers of the artists we represent, and this phase is about empowering our senior agents further while building the right support systems around them.”
The leadership evolution reflects Collective’s belief in promoting from within and creating clear ownership across verticals. In a talent world where yesterday’s agent is tomorrow’s partner, Collective isn’t just reshuffling chairs, it’s handing the spotlight to the people who’ve been quietly directing the show all along.
