Syska Group appoints Amitabh Bachchan as brand ambassador
MUMBAI: Syska Group, a home grown brand, which has entered the wires and cables segment in India, has recently taken Amitabh Bachchan as the brand ambassador with campaigns to kick start on television screens very soon.
“We can see exponential opportunities for the wires and cables business in India. The household wire segment is a Rs 12,000-crore market and the segment is expected to boom with growing demand for power and light. This is further fuelled by low penetration of organised players in the Indian market. We at Syska are committed to bring to India world class wires and cables that can cater to the masses. We will continue to contribute towards the make in India initiative of the government and are proud to generate employment under Skill India initiative,” said Syska Group director Rajesh Uttamchandani.
It will soon make an investment of Rs 30 crore in three months towards aggressive marketing campaigns starting July 2018 for the launch of wires and cables business. The company aims to make Syska synonymous with wires and cables category like it is to LED.

Thermocool rolls out Navratri campaign on trains and stations
Nine day digital push blends devotion and storytelling for travellers
NEW DELHI: Thermocool Home Appliances has launched a high-visibility digital campaign during Navratri, turning railway stations and trains into storytelling spaces that blend culture with brand engagement.
The nine-day campaign spans key high-footfall locations including Katra, Anand Vihar, Gorakhpur, Prayagraj and Moradabad, along with the Vande Bharat Express on the Delhi-Katra route. Travellers encounter the campaign across station screens, concourses and onboard infotainment systems, making it hard to miss.
What sets the initiative apart is its narrative approach. Each day of Navratri is dedicated to one of the nine forms of Goddess Durga, with digital content explaining the significance and stories behind each day. The result is a campaign that does more than advertise, it informs and engages passengers in the middle of their journeys.
For director of sales and marketing Tanuj Gupta, the idea was to go beyond visibility. He noted that while Navratri is widely celebrated, awareness of its deeper meaning is often limited, and the campaign aims to bridge that gap in a simple and accessible way.
By tapping into high-traffic transit spaces, Thermocool is placing its message where audiences naturally gather, from busy platforms to train compartments. The repeated exposure across these touchpoints is designed to build familiarity while creating a more meaningful connection with consumers.
In a season marked by devotion and festivity, the campaign finds a clever middle ground. It turns everyday travel into a cultural moment, where storytelling travels alongside the passenger.
