Tangerine teams up with Bollywood to help India’s old folks

Mumbai, March 2016: In today’s age of celebrities, getting an autograph from a leading star is a desire for many. But imagine if these autographs could actually be used to improve the lives of those in need?

Tangerine, the designer brand for home solutions, made this a reality. As part of a unique CSR initiative, it got renowned Bollywood celebrities to autograph on its bedroom makeover accessories. For every one celebrity signature, they donated twenty five bed sheets to NGOs like Help Age India and Silver Inning Foundation.

Sonam Kapoor, Siddharth Malhotra, Sushant Singh Rajput, Kalki, Malaika Arora Khan, Javed Akthar Govinda, Bhoomi Pednekar, Athiya Shetty, Kabir Bedi, Anu Malik, Karan Tacker, Urvashi Rautela, Karan Grover, Kanika Kapoor, Queenie Singh, Talat Aziz, Mouni Roy, Jennifer Winget, Aditya Thackrey, Sanjeeda, Ranveer Brar, Makarand Deshpande, Rahul Sharma, Sanjeev Kapoor and Neeraj Kabi came together and signed for a cause.

Through this one of a kind program, the brand brought together celebrities to lend their star power and help the disadvantaged elderly of India. It donated a total of 650 bed sheets to the NGOs, which are expected to significantly improve the quality of life of its beneficiaries. With this simple but significant gesture, they gave India’s old folks a comfortable bed to sleep on, and more importantly, a smile on their faces with the knowledge that someone is thinking about them.

Talking about the initiative, Rajiv Merchant, Co-founder, Tangerine, said, “Our products beautify the homes of thousands of Indians. But we were keen on using our brand to make a difference to people in need. By donating close to xx bed sheets to NGOs like Help Age India and Silver Inning Foundation, we got the chance to help India’s disadvantaged elderly rest with comfort, dignity, and a smile on their faces. We are thankful to our Bollywood fraternity to help us bring this initiative to life, and lending their names for the cause.”

Canara HSBC OBC Life in association with WWF India organizes Pedal for Planet 2016 for Earth Hour

Pedal for the Planet 2016 - Delhi takes to the streets for a greener tomorrow!

New Delhi, 19 March 2016: Canara HSBC Oriental Bank of Commerce Life Insurance in association with WWF India today organized Pedal for the Planet 2016, a Cyclathon and walkathon to raise awareness about, and celebrate, the world’s largest environmental campaign – Earth Hour 2016.

In its tenth year, Earth Hour 2016 is a call for governments, organizations and people to move from discourse and discussion to concrete climate action. Earth Hour 2016 will be celebrated on Saturday, 19 March from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m, local time. In India, the focus of the campaign this year is on the potential of solar energy as a viable and renewable source of power. Earth Hour is calling on citizens across the country to support not only the campaign by switching off non-essential lights for the hour, but also the government’s pledge to move toward renewable energy for a sustainable future. Blessed with approximately 300 clear sunny days, India has a capacity to harness 5,000 trillion kWh of energy per year - a lot more than the country’s total annual energy requirement. WWF-India’s Earth Hour campaign advocates a solar-powered future by urging its supporters to “go solar.

The campaign is being endorsed this year by cricketer Shikhar Dhawan. Speaking about his association with the cause, Dhawan said, “I believe climate change is the biggest global problem that we face today. It is a problem that we need to solve together. Like cricket, Earth Hour brings people together. I would urge people to come together and find newer, smarter ways to help save the planet.” He also asked cricket fans all over the country to switch off all other non-essential lights for the hour and watch the historic India Pakistan T20 ICC World Cup match scheduled for 19 March in the dark and said, “As we chase our dream of becoming World Champions again, we are counting on you to help us realize our dream of a greener planet! Let’s stand together against climate change.” 

From bicycling clubs to toddlers, the residents of Delhi NCR enthusiastically took to the track to promote the cause of Earth Hour and ask people to switch off their lights during the hour later that night. Pedal for the Planet 2016 is also being supported by Firefox Bikes, who are providing cycles for the event.

Mr. Anuj Mathur, Chief Executive Officer, Canara HSBC Oriental Bank of Commerce Life Insurance said, “We at Canara HSBC Oriental Bank of Commerce Life Insurance are fully committed towards the cause and pledge our support for Earth Hour in Pedal/ Paidal for the Planet initiative by partnering with WWF-India for the 8th consecutive year. We have always encouraged our employees to pledge to use resources responsibly and continue to identify ways in which we can reduce carbon footprint for a greener planet. As a life insurance company, it is essential that we further the cause of urging people to lead a healthy life style. We therefore encourage all to adopt these measures in their daily life so that we leave a better planet for future generations".

Speaking about the campaign and the event, Mr. Ravi Singh, Secretary General & CEO, WWF-India said, “Every year, since 2009, hundreds of citizens of Delhi NCR have been gathering in an enormous show of support for Earth Hour at the Pedal for the Planet cyclothon. Pedal for the Planet is a WWF-India initiative with the objective of raising awareness about Earth Hour. It also helps promote a healthier, greener and more sustainable lifestyle at an individual and collective level. The event is a step towards encouraging positive climate action in all forms.”  

As India’s most iconic landmarks like the India Gate, Gateway of India, the Rashtrapati Bhawan and the Lotus Temple, among others, prepare to switch off their lights for Earth Hour, Earth Hour 2016 has also received support from the government, corporates and organizations across the country, and celebrities like Shikhar Dhawan, Amitabh Bachchan,

Harsha Bhogle, Sania Mirza, Parambrata Chatterjee, among others.

Royal Enfield launches Himalayan- the most definitive motorcycle for your Himalayan adventure

Himalayan now available in India for booking starting March 17, 2016

Available in Maharashtra at Rs. 155,545 (Ex-showroom) and Rs. 178,872 (on-road) in Mumbai

Mumbai, India, March 16, 2016: Royal Enfield, the fastest growing motorcycle brand in the world, today launched the Himalayan—a motorcycle purpose-built for adventure and touring in the Himalayas. Bringing together 60 years of Himalayan riding experiences in a completely ground-up design, and powered by a new LS 410 engine, the Royal Enfield Himalayan paves the way for a purer, non-extreme and more accessible form of adventure touring in India. In fact, its extremely capable offroad capabilities make it adept for riding though potholed urban jungles as it does for treacherous mountain trails.

One of the most anticipated motorcycles of 2016, Royal Enfield Himalayan is available in two signature colour options—Granite and Snow and is open for bookings across all Royal Enfield dealerships across the country in a phased manner.

At the launch of the Himalayan, Mr Siddhartha Lal, MD & CEO, Eicher Motors Ltd. said, “Himalayan is the culmination of Royal Enfield’s 60 years of enduring history in its spiritual home—the Himalayas. Our single biggest insight in all these years of riding has been that the best motorcycle for the Himalayas is not one that tries to dominate its landscape, but one that is able to go with its flow. Large adventure tourers that currently define this category, do not fare well in the Himalayas as they are very heavy, extremely complicated, intimidating and not really designed for this environment. With its purpose-built ground-up design, the Himalayan is a simple and capable go-anywhere motorcycle that will redefine adventure touring in India.”

Built on a rugged duplex split cradle frame designed and developed by Harris Performance, the Himalayan is stable and agile in equal parts. A strong mono shock rear suspension with linkage allows for longer travel and delivers a smoother ride experience regardless of terrain. The Himalayan’s 220 mm ground clearance ensures it gobbles up obstacles comfortably be it in the Himalayas, rocky river beds or at stream crossings. An optimal wheel size combination allows for better control while riding over rocks and ruts.

The Himalayan is powered by a completely new and evolved overhead camshaft engine platform that forms the base for its new long stroke LS 410 engine. The all new engine delivers high torque and usable power at lower RPMs. This makes for smooth riding in higher gears at lower speeds, making it easy to climb hills, or to maneuver through traffic. Modern design and materials of the engine translate to increased efficiency and low maintenance, and the engine can go 10,000 kilometers between oil changes.

Speaking at the launch of the Himalayan, Mr Rudratej (Rudy) Singh, President Royal Enfield said, “What excites me about our new motorcycle, is that it fundamentally builds on Royal Enfield’s core philosophy of balancing aspiration with access. It allows both seasoned riders as well as enthusiasts to do more with just one motorcycle. The Himalayan serves the purpose of a seasoned rider and at the same time opens the roads (pun not intended) to many more people who will get the confidence that they can ride on and off the road less travelled, going beyond their day-to-day commuting needs.”

“Functionally - the Himalayan’s non-intimidating spartan design, a flat torque curve, accessible seat height and long suspension travel alongside the ease of ownership, make the Himalayan is an extremely versatile motorcycle that is adept for long rides while equally being the definitive choice to navigate our urban jungles. Towards creating and growing a new segment which offers an option for adventure loving motorcycling enthusiasts we are offering the new Himalayan at a price of Rs. 155,545 (Ex-showroom) in Maharashtra and Rs. 178,872 (on-road) in Mumbai” , Rudy added.

Touring utility is built inherently into the Himalayan. A 15 litre fuel tank provides a long range of approximately 450 kilometers. Luggage mounting points, for hard panniers, soft luggage and jerry cans are integral to the motorcycle’s design. A simple instrument cluster keeps track of speed, direction, ambient temperature, travel time, service intervals and multiple trip distances. Most importantly, an ergonomical sync between footpegs, handlebar & seat height provide a comfortable upright riding posture that is necessary for long rides. An accessible 800mm seat height with lower mass-balance ensure ease of planting feet on ground for complete control. Royal Enfield Himalayan comes fitted with dual-purpose tyres that lend a confident grip and performance across a range of conditions. In addition to complete braking control, the 300mm front and 240mm rear disc brakes help to reduce braking effort.

Royal Enfield has also launched meticulously designed, purpose-built protective riding gear that caters to the long range tourer travelling to unpredictable places, terrains and climates. The protective gear range includes the 4-season Royal Enfield Darcha riding suit made in collaboration with REV’IT; versatile touring jackets and trousers with Cordura, protective armour, removable thermal liners and breathable waterproof lining. The collection also has riding gloves, riding trousers and riding boots.

Royal Enfield has invested significant time and effort in testing the Himalayan extensively with experts and across multiple terrains for both off-road and on-road manners. Starting from the Bruntingthorpe airfield in UK to the race track in Sriperumbudur, Chennai; from off-road terrains to urban settings and then in real world riding conditions in the Himalayas; the motorcycle has clocked lakhs of kilometers and cumulative mileage before hitting the production line.

The Himalayan is more than the sum of its parts; not only does it deliver on its intent of being a purpose-built motorcycle for the Himalayas, it is also extremely versatile and designed to be your only motorcycle.

Pricing & Availability

Royal Enfield Himalayan will be available in Bangalore for Rs. 184,316 (on-road), in Kolkata for Rs. 181,517 (on-road), in Chennai for Rs. 175,840 (on-road), in Hyderabad for Rs. 176,580 (on-road), in Pune for Rs. 170,362 (on-road) and in Navi Mumbai for Rs. 171,065 (on-road).

Angry Birds get starring roles at Madame Tussauds

An amazing collaboration with Madame Tussauds takes Red, Chuck and Bomb to Madame Tussauds London! The unique digital experience will be in London from the end of April until July, before touring Madame Tussauds attractions around the world.

Angry Birds at Madame Tussauds will digitally bring to life one of the key scenes from the film in a 3-D backdrop and guests can step in, interact and star alongside Madame Tussauds' figures of explosive Bomb, speedy Chuck and furious Red.

"The aim is to create a living, breathing space that gives guests a real taste of the film," explains Kieran Lancini, Global Head of Media Relations for Madame Tussauds. "The digital content will change frequently and guests can take a selfie with Red, Bomb and Chuck and share them live.

The experience continues Rovio’s mission to bridge the digital and physical worlds and extend the Angry Birds brand from its gaming origins. “We already have Angry Birds activity and play parks as well as theme park attractions, but Angry Birds at Madame Tussauds is something totally new,” commented Alex Lambeek, Chief Commercial Officer at Rovio Entertainment. “It really does marry the digital world with the physical, as animation and smart technology bring the movie to life around guests.
