Smart sharp and supercharged Moto g67 powers up
MUMBAI: Looks like Motorola just turned up the charge. The tech brand has unleashed the moto g67 Power, a sub- Rs 15,000 smartphone that’s practically buzzing with energy, and style. With a whopping 7000mAh battery, a 50MP Sony Lytia 600 camera, and a sleek Pantone-curated vegan leather design, this one’s got both stamina and swagger.
Launching at an effective price of Rs 14,999, the moto g67 Power is geared for those who live life unplugged. The phone’s silicon carbon battery promises up to 58 hours of runtime on a single charge, making low-battery anxiety a thing of the past.
But it’s not just about endurance. The handset flexes a Snapdragon 7s gen 2 chip, 8GB RAM (expandable to 24GB), and 128GB storage, ensuring a lag-free experience whether you’re gaming, streaming, or toggling between 27 tabs at once. Connectivity-wise, it’s no slouch either, offering support for 11 5G bands, VoNR, and Wi-Fi 6.
Camera buffs get plenty to click about. The moto g67 Power boasts the segment’s best 50MP Sony LYTIA 600 sensor, 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 32MP selfie camera, all capable of 4K recording. Add Motorola’s AI photo tricks like auto night vision and AI-powered portraits, and your social feed might just start looking like a mini film festival.
Durability is another headline act. With corning gorilla glass 7i, MIL-STD-810H military-grade testing, and IP64 water resistance, this phone could probably survive a clumsy tumble or two, and still look good doing it.
Entertainment-wise, the 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz display dazzles with 1050 nits brightness, while dolby atmos dual speakers bring the bass to your binge sessions.
Available in cilantro green, parachute beige, and blue curacao, the moto g67 Power goes on sale from 12 November on Flipkart, Motorola.in, and at leading retail stores.
As Motorola India managing director T.M. Narasimhan put it, “The moto g67 Power delivers the best camera and battery experience under Rs 15,000, a powerful blend of performance, innovation, and style.”
With its marathon battery, polished design, and AI smarts, Motorola’s latest might just be the pocket powerhouse to beat this season.

Mars appoints Manish Syag as managing director for pet nutrition in India
FMCG veteran takes charge as managing director amid booming $2 billion market opportunity
DELHI: Mars Incorporated has elevated Manish Syag to managing director of its pet nutrition business in India, betting on two decades of FMCG expertise to capture a market poised for explosive growth.
Syag, who brings senior leadership experience from Hindustan Unilever and GSK Consumer Healthcare, joined Mars in 2024 as chief sales officer. He succeeds Salil Murthy, who has been promoted to global vice-president of enterprise transformation at Mars Pet Nutrition and will be based at the company’s London headquarters.
The appointment comes as India’s pet care market stands at what Syag calls “a defining moment”. The sector is projected to double to $7 billion in sales by 2028, up from $3.5 billion last year, according to Redseer Strategy Consultants. The number of pets in Indian households rose to 32 million in 2024 from 26 million in 2019.
“India is at a defining moment for the pet food market, which is expected to grow into a $2 billion category in a decade, evolving much as mainstream FMCG did in its early growth years, driven by access, awareness and trust,” Syag said.
Mars, which makes Pedigree, Whiskas and Sheba pet food brands, has been in India since 2002 and set up its first manufacturing facility five years later. The parent company’s other brands in chocolate and snacks include M&M’s, Snickers, Pringles and Cheez-It.
Large players in India’s pet care space include Mars, Nestlé, Heads Up For Tails and Drools. Reliance entered the category late last year, signalling growing corporate interest in a market that’s barely scratched the surface. With India’s rising pet ownership and premiumisation trends, the battle for bowls is only just beginning.
