MUMBAI: Health-tech startup Cure.fit, launched by ex-Myntra executives, has tied up with brand PROWL, co-created by Mojostar and Tiger Shroff for an exclusive fitness program that will be led by the Bollywood actor who is known to be an avid fitness enthusiast, dancer and athlete. It will have combat, dance and functional fitness to music. The gym brand run under Cure.fit is called as Cult.
Speaking on its association with PROWL, Cure.fit co-founder Mukesh Bansal said, “Cult’s ethos has always been to break free from the monotony of dull workouts and keep yourself motivated to stay fit, the fun way. Our association with Mojostar for the PROWL workout is in keeping with this very philosophy.

Commenting on the collaboration, Shroff said, “I am extremely delighted to have Mojostar partner with Cure.fit, a brand that values holistic fitness while ensuring novelty for fitness enthusiasts, for PROWL. Health and well-being is not just about heavy weights or cardio training. It is about taking care of your body and mind, whether you have a sedate lifestyle or even when you are on the go. Learning martial arts and dance has given me a sense of focus and grounding which helps my mind and body to remain fit. Through this association with Cure.fit, I hope the PROWL workout will engage all the fitness enthusiasts and help them in their journey for a holistic fitness experience.”

Godrej clarifies ‘GI’ identifier after logo similarity debate
Says GI is not a logo, will not replace Godrej signature across products.
MUMBAI: In a branding storm where shapes did the talking, Godrej is now spelling things out. Godrej Industries Group (GIG) has issued a clarification on its newly introduced ‘GI’ identifier, addressing questions around its purpose and design following a wave of online criticism. At the centre of the debate were two concerns: whether the new mark replaces the long-standing Godrej logo, and whether its geometric design mirrors other corporate identities.
The company has drawn a clear line. The Godrej signature logo, it said, remains unchanged and continues to be the sole logo across all consumer-facing products and services. The ‘GI’ mark, by contrast, is not a logo but a corporate group identifier intended for use alongside the Godrej signature or company name, and aimed at stakeholders such as investors, media and talent rather than consumers.
The need for such a distinction stems from the 2024 restructuring of the broader Godrej Group into two separate business entities. With both continuing to operate under the same Godrej name and signature, the identifier is positioned as a way to differentiate the Godrej Industries Group at a corporate level.
The rollout, however, triggered a broader conversation on design originality. Critics pointed to similarities between the GI mark’s geometric composition and logos used by companies globally, raising questions about distinctiveness.
Responding to this, GIG said its intellectual property and legal review found that such overlaps are common in minimalist, geometry-led design systems. Basic forms such as circles and rectangles appear across dozens of brand identities worldwide, the company noted.
It added that the identifier emerged from an extensive design process and was chosen for its simplicity, allowing it to sit alongside the Godrej signature without competing visually. While acknowledging that elemental shapes may appear less distinctive in isolation, the group emphasised that the mark is part of a broader identity system that includes a custom typeface, sonic branding and other proprietary elements.
Following legal and ethical assessments, the company said it found no impediment to using the identifier, reiterating that the GI mark is a corporate tool not a consumer-facing symbol.
In short, the logo isn’t changing but the conversation around it certainly has.
