Zydus Wellness launches Ayurvedic drink Complan Immuno-Gro
Mumbai: Zydus Wellness, a science-backed FMCG major, has expanded its offerings under the iconic brand Complan with the pilot launch of the immunity-boosting drink, Complan Immuno-Gro in Tamil Nadu.
Scientifically designed to provide strong immunity while supporting growth and memory among children, Complan Immuno-Gro is formulated with a unique blend of more than 20 Ayurvedic herbs, such as Amla, Ashwagandha, and Brahmi. According to studies, a weak immune system may cause growth and developmental delays besides other illnesses. Complan Immuno-Gro offers specialised benefits to strengthen children’s immune systems against common illnesses.
While the nutrition drinks category in Tamil Nadu stands at a robust ₹940 crore, seasonal changes that often affect children’s immunity have triggered an increased consumer aspiration for natural immunity-boosting products.
Recognising this market opportunity and the need for a superior quality immunity booster, Zydus Wellness has forayed into the Ayurvedic segment under Complan, a brand synonymous with good health and nutrition. This pilot is one of the several new launches in the company’s pipeline during the coming months.
Commenting on the launch, Zydus Wellness CEO Tarun Arora said, “There is a marked shift in consumer mindset as natural and herbal products have become the go-to solution for most modern problems and immunity concerns. Our new offering, Complan Immuno-Gro, is based on scientifically designed Ayurvedic innovations catering to growing children’s immunity needs. Through this pilot launch, we also aim to gain market share and expand our foothold in the white powder segment. Further, Sneha’s association with the brand will help us reiterate our values as she is the embodiment of trust, care, and well-being amongst mothers.”
To further amplify the launch and drive brand awareness, Complan Immuno-Gro has unveiled a new TVC in Tamil Nadu with famous South Indian actor Sneha. The commercial revolves around the low levels of immunity in children, which may manifest into a plethora of diseases, especially during monsoon. To ensure safety and health of her child, the mother in the TVC holds him back from enjoying the rain. Taking a cue from the mother’s concern for her child’s well-being, Sneha articulates the need for Complan Immuno Gro, immunity-focused solutions for children.
Actor and Complan brand ambassador, Sneha said, “I am delighted to be associated with the launch of Complan Immuno-Gro. Complan has been a trusted name in my household since childhood, and I am now happy to introduce it to my own children. The new ad campaign is a special story that resonates deeply with me, and I believe it will resonate with mothers across the state.”
Complan Immuno-Gro is available in two packs of 400g refill and 500g jars priced at Rs 279 and Rs 350 respectively.

Lululemon picks former Nike executive to be its next chief
Heidi O’Neill, who helped grow Nike into a $45 billion giant, will take the top job in September
CANADA: Lululemon has found its next chief executive, and she comes with serious credentials. The athleisure giant named Heidi O’Neill as its new CEO on Wednesday, ending a search that has left the company running on interim leadership since earlier this year. O’Neill will take charge on September 8, 2026, based out of Vancouver, and will join the board on the same day.
O’Neill brings more than three decades of experience across performance apparel, footwear and sport. The bulk of that time was spent at Nike, where she was a central figure in one of corporate sport’s great growth stories, helping take the company from a $9 billion business to a $45 billion global powerhouse. She oversaw product pipelines, brand strategy and consumer connections, and played a significant role in shaping how Nike spoke to athletes around the world. Earlier in her career, she worked in marketing for the Dockers brand at Levi Strauss. She also brings boardroom experience from Spotify Technology, Hyatt Hotels and Lithia and Driveway.
The board was unequivocal in its enthusiasm. “We selected Heidi because of the breadth of her experience, her demonstrated success delivering breakthrough ideas and initiatives at scale, and her ability to be a knowledgeable change and growth agent,” said Marti Morfitt, executive chair of Lululemon’s board.
O’Neill, for her part, was bullish. “Lululemon is an iconic brand with something rare: genuine guest love, a product ethos rooted in innovation, and a global platform still in the early stages of its potential,” she said. “My job will be to accelerate product breakthroughs, deepen the brand’s cultural relevance, and unlock growth in markets around the world.”
Until she arrives, Meghan Frank and André Maestrini will continue as interim co-CEOs, before returning to their previous senior leadership roles once O’Neill steps in.
Lululemon is betting that a Nike veteran who helped build one of the world’s most powerful sports brands can do something similar for an athleisure label that has genuine love from its customers but is still chasing its full global potential. O’Neill has done it before at scale. The question now is whether she can do it again.
