While we continue to witness improvement in the performance of our male insurance advisors, we have seen that our women advisors have left no stone unturned to understand our customers’ pulse. </div><div>Importantly, women advisors constitute around 32% of our total number of advisors and they have contributed around 45% of our agency business as on September 30, 2026. Besides, in regions like Bangalore, Kerala and Mumbai, we have even seen this number crossing the 50% agency business mark. </div><div>Furthermore, our women advisors come from different walk of lives. They are homemakers, salaried professionals, businesswomen with an inherent power to multitask like a manager, solve problems like a consultant and manage money like a banker.  </div><div>With a natural aptitude for empathy and strategic problem-solving, Indian women have certain intrinsic qualities that are inbuilt in their DNA which helps them to understand our customer’s requirement, provide optimal solutions and nurturing relationships long after the sale. These qualities include their strong emotional quotient, socially active nature, commitment, loyalty and their belief in securing families which are very important in the insurance business. </div><div>Hence, we launched the ‘Narishakti’ initiative two years back which helps us to empower women advisors across the country by providing the critical training and support necessary to spotlight their capabilities. Navratri is the perfect occasion to welcome more women advisors into our Narishakti force, equipping them with the skillsets needed to actively drive our government’s vision of Insurance for All by 2047.”</div><div>As on September 30, 2026, 47% of the Company’s women advisors are associated with ICICI Life Insurance for more than 10 years and over 500 women advisors of the Company have qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT), a global, independent trade association for top-performing life insurance agents and financial services professionals.</div><div>Launched in 2024, ICICI Life Insurance’s Narishakti initiative empowers women across India to build a meaningful career as respected financial planners with zero upfront investment. It offers them, the flexibility to work on their own schedule without sacrificing their family time, while allowing them to gain recognition, become financial independent and proudly serve a noble cause by securing families nationwide.</div>

Sparx, one of India’s most popular footwear brands, is turning this cultural shift into its newest brand platform, ‘Greatest of Today’ (G.O.T.), a campaign designed to strengthen the brand’s relevance among young, style-conscious consumers featuring <b>Tamannaah and Lakshya</b> as brand ambassadors.  At the heart of the campaign is Sparx’s latest range of sneakers and versatile sports shoes, created to complement the different ways young consumers move through their everyday lives.</div><div><br></div><div>TVC link-  https://youtu.be/vejXDDQGkpo?si=V26DHuRrnXBg2hHr</div><div><br></div><div>Conceptualised by Mudra, part of BBDO Group India, the campaign takes a fresh cue from the popular cultural term GOAT (Greatest of All Time), reinterpreting it as Greatest of Today (G.O.T). The idea reflects a generation that is less interested in waiting for a defining moment and more focused on making the moment they are in count. Tamannaah and Lakshya Lalwani bring their distinct personalities to the campaign as enablers of this larger thought, helping Sparx translate the G.O.T. mindset into contemporary youth culture.</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking about the campaign, <b>Gaurav Kumaar Dua, Co-CEO & Whole-Time Director, Relaxo Footwears,</b> said, “For today’s generation, greatness is not necessarily about a distant achievement or a defining milestone. It is about what you choose to do, experience and express in the moment. With ‘Greatest of Today’, Sparx wanted to build a thought that feels relevant to the culture and mindset of young India today. Our latest collection complements this proposition with sneakers that bring a strong style expression and versatile sports shoes designed for an active, on-the-go lifestyle. Tamannaah and Lakshya help bring this thought to life through their own individual perspectives.”</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking about her association with Sparx and the campaign, <b>actress, Tamannaah</b> said, “What stood out to me about ‘Greatest of Today’ is how immediate the idea feels. You don’t have to wait for something big to happen to feel like you are making the most of your life. I also love how the new sneakers bring that sense of self-expression into the collection. They have a contemporary feel that fits naturally into the way young people dress, explore and move today.”</div><div><br></div><div>E xpressing enthusiasm with campaign, <b>Lakshya</b> added, “I relate to the idea of G.O.T. because it is about being present and going after what excites you. You try things, you figure them out along the way, and you keep moving. That energy is reflected in the collection too – whether it is sneakers that let you make a statement or sports shoes that keep up with an active day, there is something that fits into the way young people live today. I’m excited to bring my own take on that attitude to the campaign with Sparx.”</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking about the campaign, <b>Chetan Soni, Senior Vice President & Head of Business at Mudra,</b> said: “The brief was never to simply make Sparx look younger, but to understand Gen Z’s relationship with style, identity and ambition. The shoe is the starting point, but the real proposition is the attitude to stand out and make every moment count. For us, G.O.T. is more than a campaign; it marks the beginning of a new identity and cultural role for Sparx.”</div><div><br></div><div>The campaign takes a 360-degree approach, bringing the G.O.T. idea to consumers across television, print, digital and outdoor, creating multiple touchpoints for the campaign to become part of everyday youth culture. It combines the cultural insight of ‘Greatest of Today’ with Sparx’s distinctive youth-focused identity, while giving its latest footwear collection a central role in the overall narrative.</div><div><br></div><div>With G.O.T., Sparx aims to create a platform that goes beyond a conventional product campaign - one that reflects how a new generation chooses to live, move and express itself, today.</div>

Built for homes that want a professional finish without switching between appliances, it pairs a dedicated steam pump with a digital display on the handle, making it the only standing garment steamer in India to offer 7 heating levels and 3 steam levels at the touch of a button.</div><div>Finished in Matte Black, the INALSA Complete Sliding Care carries an MRP of ₹21,999 and is available at an introductory offer price of ₹11,999, backed by a 2-Year Complete Product Warranty. The box includes the main unit with a detachable water tank and height adjustable double poles, the base, an ironing board with protective cover, an iron holding bracket and an iron protective cover. It is available on Amazon and Flipkart and at leading retail stores across India.</div><div>Most standing steamers rely on gravity to feed water from the tank to the boiler, which leads to weak bursts, spitting and pauses in the middle of a garment. Complete Sliding Care uses a dedicated pump that actively pushes water to its 2500W boiler, delivering steady steam for as long as the session needs. It is ready to use in 40 seconds, and the 1.2 litre translucent, detachable water tank makes refilling and cleaning easy. Anti-drip protection, a pressure release safety valve and automatic shut-off keep everyday use safe.</div><div>The real difference shows in the finish. A regular steamer relaxes wrinkles but cannot give a shirt collar or a trouser crease a sharp edge, while a dry iron struggles with delicate and embellished fabrics. Complete Sliding Care does both. Users can steam a silk saree or a blazer hanging vertically, then lay the board flat and use the extra-large ironing plate to press collars, cuffs and pleats to a crisp finish.</div><div>Speaking on the launch, <b>Jitendra Chauhan, CEO of INALSA,</b> said, "Indian wardrobes have changed. The same household now owns office shirts, linen kurtas, silk sarees and heavy denim, and no single iron or steamer has handled all of them well. People either buy two appliances or settle for an average finish. With Complete Sliding Care, we wanted to solve that in one product. The pump gives you steam that does not stop halfway through a garment, and the digital display on the handle lets you choose the exact temperature for the fabric in your hand instead of guessing on a dial. It is the most complete garment care product we have built, and we are proud to bring it to Indian homes."</div><div>Control sits right at the user’s fingertips. The digital display on the handle offers 7 heating levels for ironing, from 80°C for delicate silks up to 200°C for heavy linens, along with separate Low, Medium and High steam settings, so each fabric gets the right heat and moisture. The ironing board tilts to 45°, 90° and 180°, moving from an angled position for steaming to a flat surface for pressing, while the telescopic double poles offer 4 height levels to suit different users. A 90° rotatable handle lets users change their grip comfortably as they move across different areas of a garment.</div>

This year’s World Mental Health Day theme, ‘Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change’, calls for people with lived experience to have a meaningful role in shaping mental health policies, services and decisions.</div><div><br></div><div>Human Advantage built on this idea by creating a space where different experiences and perspectives could come together, not only to discuss technology, but to examine its impact on human connection, emotional wellbeing, resilience, creativity, leadership and the way we live and work.</div><div><br></div><div>The day moved through three connected movements. The first rediscovered human possibility and what changes as machines grow more capable: what becomes more valuable in us, and how we move through change. The second looked at balance at work, at progress measured against humanity, and at mental wellbeing. The third turned forward, to who we become, what we choose to build, and ultimately what all of it is for. It closed where responsibility belongs, with human choice.</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking at the event, <b>Dinakara Nagalla, founder of Menthra</b>, said: “AI will change the way we live and work, but our greatest advantage will always be our ability to be human. Human Advantage was about recognising that the future isn’t only about smarter technology. It’s about stronger, more resilient and more connected people.”</div>
