This wedding season, Tanishq initiates new conversation with #MarriageConversations
Mumbai: It is that time of the year when the wedding season plays out all over India. And amidst all the celebrations & planning around a ‘big, fat Indian wedding,’ an aspect that often plays second fiddle is the ‘marriage’ or the issues that truly matter in a marriage. Thus, to try and rescript India’s wedding narrative, Tanishq has launched its latest campaign – #MarriageConversations.
Conceptualised and executed by Dentsu Webchutney, the digital creative agency from the house of dentsu India, the campaign aims to encourage couples to have conversations about the marriage and the life they want to build together, as much as the wedding itself.
“This wedding season, we want to encourage young couples who are taking the next big step of their lives to pause and talk about the marriage they envision with each other; a conversation where they feel the comfort and honesty with their partners to discuss what truly matters to them,” said Tanishq general manager marketing Ranjani Krishnaswamy about the campaign. “Tanishq wants to celebrate these real conversations that lead up to the moment ‘when it rings true’ for our couples and etch these moments with our engagement rings.”
The film, crafted by Superfly Films Pvt Ltd, shows three regular couples who are about to take the plunge indulging in meaningful conversation about their future life together, before taking the big step.
“Our mission at Superfly has always been to use the power of storytelling to build a more progressive society. And we are happy to have had the opportunity to inspire a whole generation of soon-to-be couples across India to talk about their realities beyond the wedding,” stated Superfly Films Pvt Ltd director and founder Kopal Naithani.
“We are proud of the brand for inspiring and encouraging soon-to-be-married couples to get raw and real and build a strong foundation together, as they inevitably set on a rollercoaster of a journey that is life,” said Dentsu Webchutney creative director Binaifer Dulani. “We hope couples across India will feel empowered to be vulnerable with each other and talk about their future before they take the big step.”

Bajaj Consumer Care FY26 profit rises to Rs 193.7 crore
Revenue climbs to Rs 1,092 crore as profit grows 49 per cent YoY
MUMBAI: Hair today, growth tomorrow Bajaj Consumer Care Limited seems to have found its shine again, posting a sharp jump in profitability even as it doubled down on brand spends and expansion. The company reported a net profit of Rs 193.7 crore for FY26, marking a strong 49 per cent rise from Rs 130.1 crore in FY25. Revenue from operations also grew to Rs 1,092.2 crore, up from Rs 942.8 crore a year earlier, signalling steady demand momentum across its portfolio.
For the March quarter, profit stood at Rs 64.1 crore, compared to Rs 31.5 crore in the corresponding period last year, while revenue rose to Rs 308.3 crore from Rs 243.5 crore.
The performance came despite a notable increase in spending. Advertising and sales promotion expenses climbed to Rs 168.3 crore in FY26, up from Rs 137.8 crore in FY25, reflecting continued investment in brand building. Other expenses also rose to Rs 151.3 crore from Rs 134.2 crore, indicating a broader push towards growth.
Operating efficiency, however, held firm. Profit before tax increased to Rs 234.8 crore in FY26 from Rs 157.7 crore a year earlier, supported by disciplined cost management across materials and inventory.
On the balance sheet, the company’s total assets expanded to Rs 959.1 crore as of March 31, 2026, compared to Rs 931.9 crore a year earlier. Other equity rose to Rs 780.3 crore, reinforcing a stronger financial base.
Cash flow from operations saw a significant uptick, reaching Rs 196.9 crore in FY26, nearly three times the Rs 67.9 crore recorded in FY25, highlighting improved working capital management.
However, the year also saw aggressive capital allocation. The company spent Rs 190.2 crore on share buybacks, contributing to a net cash outflow of Rs 196.5 crore from financing activities. Cash and cash equivalents stood at Rs 6.8 crore at the end of the year, down from Rs 25.6 crore.
Even as investments in subsidiaries and assets continued, the numbers suggest a company balancing growth ambitions with shareholder returns keeping one eye on expansion and the other on efficiency.
With margins improving and revenue steadily climbing, Bajaj Consumer Care appears to be combing through the competition with renewed confidence.
