toothsi onboards Arjun Kapoor for its new campaign
Mumbai: Home-grown smile makeover service, toothsi has teamed up with actor Arjun Kapoor for their latest campaign on Clear Aligners.
The advertisement, titled ‘You’re lucky, there’s toothsi,’ has the actor voicing his agony and displeasure at having to wear the inconvenient metal braces as a youngster, which lead to a bunch of insecurities and self-esteem issues during his growing up years.
Taking an innovative and out-of-box approach, the ad film shows the usually composed actor throwing a fit on the set, even as he goes on to recount how metal retainers made his teenage days agonising, and how it would have been a piece of cake if he had the option of using toothsi’s clear aligners instead.
toothsi is leveraging the campaign to enlighten young Indian customers about how fortunate they are to have the choice of using clear aligners instead of conventional metal braces.
toothsi co-Founder and CEO Dr Arpi Mehta said, “Bracket tightening, wire replacements, and orthodontic appointments aren’t something that today’s youngsters look forward to. Nevertheless, with the arrival of toothsi’s smile makeover, straightening their teeth has gone from a dreaded necessity to a form of self-care. Since the foundation of toothsi, we have worked diligently to eliminate the problems surrounding conventional braces,” he added.

Hyundai and TVS Motor partner to develop electric three wheelers
Joint development pact targets last mile mobility with localisation push
MUMBAI: Three wheels, one big ambition and a charge towards the future. Hyundai Motor Company and TVS Motor Company have signed a joint development agreement to co-create electric three-wheelers (E3Ws), aiming to crack India’s complex last-mile mobility puzzle. The collaboration moves beyond concept talk into execution mode, building on the E3W prototype first showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The goal now is clear, design, develop and commercialise a purpose-built vehicle tailored to Indian roads, riders and realities.
Under the agreement, Hyundai will lead design and co-development, bringing its global R&D muscle and human-centric engineering approach to the table. TVS Motor, meanwhile, will anchor the product on its electric platform, leveraging deep three-wheeler expertise and local market insight. It will also handle manufacturing and sales in India, with an eye on exports down the line.
The timing is strategic. India remains the world’s largest three-wheeler market, where affordability, durability and adaptability often outweigh sheer innovation. The upcoming E3W aims to strike that balance combining advanced technology with practical features such as adaptive ground clearance for monsoon-hit roads, improved thermal management for tropical climates, and flexible interiors suited for passengers, cargo or emergency use.
A key pillar of the partnership is localisation. Major components will be sourced and manufactured within India, a move expected to strengthen the domestic supply chain, create jobs, lower costs and improve after-sales support.
The shift from prototype to production will involve rigorous testing, certification and refinement to meet regulatory standards and consumer expectations. Dedicated cross-functional teams from both companies are already in place to accelerate timelines.
At a broader level, the tie-up reflects a growing trend in mobility, global players partnering with local specialists to navigate emerging markets. For Hyundai and TVS, the bet is that combining scale with street-level insight could unlock a new chapter in sustainable urban transport, one that runs not just on electricity, but on relevance.
