Tide India announces Ayushmann Khurrana as brand ambassador, launches new campaign
MUMBAI: Tide, one of the leading fabric care brands in India from P&G, has appointed the very talented and versatile Ayushmann Khurrana as their brand ambassador for India. The partnership has launched with the first Tide advertisement featuring the actor, for the Tide Ultra variant designed specifically for the washing machine.
Launched in India in 2000, Tide provides ‘Outstanding Cleaning’ and has set a high standard for laundry care. What started as a detergent for hand wash household has now evolved for machine usage as well with the launch of Tide Ultra, now further improved with stain magnets. Tide has always stood for surprising whiteness while adding a bit of humour to the laundry chores with witty advertising, becoming a brand that is quintessentially Indian! Ayushmann Khurrana, who has won millions of hearts with his choice of ‘extremely relatable’ movies, was hence the perfect choice for this partnership.
The association will begin with a new line of Tide advertisement featuring Ayushmann Khurrana playing different members of a family in a fun, unique manner. The actor has portrayed all these characters with utmost charm.
Excited about this partnership with Tide, Ayushmann Khurrana said, “Tide is an iconic power brand whose values resonated with me. We both believe in spreading smiles and brightening up everyday life. I have loved watching the witty Tide ads all these years. For my first advertisement with the brand, we came together and tried to push the envelope, attempting something unique and engaging. You can see me play the roles of multiple family members in a warm, fun narrative. And this is just the start! It is my pleasure to join hands with a fun brand like Tide, and together we endeavour to keep winning smiles and hearts with all that we do together!”
Ayushmann Khurrana will be seen in a series of advertisements across television, digital and other mediums.
The first advertisement has already gone live.

Atomberg rolls out Jackie Shroff-led campaign for smart purifier
Humour-led film highlights adaptive tech, no-AMC model and app features
MUMBAI: Boil it, filter it… or just let Jackie fix it, Atomberg Technologies is tapping nostalgia and wit to make water purification a little less… dry.
In its latest campaign, the brand ropes in Jackie Shroff to reimagine the tone of old-school public service messaging, borrowing cues from the actor’s iconic polio awareness appearances. The result is a humorous, culturally familiar spin that swaps health warnings for smart water habits, turning a typically functional category into something far more watchable and shareable.
The campaign’s hook lies in simplification. Instead of drowning audiences in technical jargon, it uses comedy to break down how Atomberg’s water purifier works, positioning it as an intuitive, everyday solution rather than a complex appliance. The storytelling leans heavily on recall, using nostalgia as an entry point while subtly educating consumers about product benefits.
At the centre of the narrative is the purifier’s adaptive technology. Designed to automatically switch between RO, UV and UF modes based on TDS levels, the system aims to ensure safe drinking water while retaining essential minerals and avoiding unnecessary RO usage. Features such as Taste Tune for customised water output and Vacation Mode for low-maintenance use further underline its focus on convenience.
Beyond the product, Atomberg is also taking aim at the category’s long-standing pain point: opaque service costs. The purifier operates on a no-AMC, pay-per-need model, replacing traditional annual maintenance contracts with a more transparent structure. Backed by a two-year no-cost warranty and continued coverage on replaced parts, the offering is positioned as both cost-efficient and consumer-friendly.
The campaign, therefore, does more than advertise a product, it reframes how it is understood. By blending humour, cultural familiarity and clear product messaging, Atomberg is attempting to stand out in a cluttered market where most communication tends to be either overly technical or easily ignored.
In a space where clarity is often filtered out, this campaign keeps things simple: safe water, smarter tech, and a familiar face delivering the message with a wink.
