Ahead of the Hindu festival of lights in October, Mattel Inc., the parent company of fashion doll Barbie, introduced the first-ever Diwali Barbie Doll, designed by Indian fashion designer Anita Dongre, founder of the Mumbai-based brand House of Anita Dongre.

The doll wore a lehenga named ‘Moonlight Bloom’, designed by Dongre, featuring a choli top, Rajasthani floral koti vest, and a lehenga skirt adorned with  motifs of dahlias, jasmine, and lotus.

Priced at Rs 1,999, the doll is available globally through major toy retailers as online and offline including Hamleys and Mattel Shop.

Indian beauty retail company Nykaa collaborated with the fictional internet sensation Ganji Chudail for an online marketing campaign in September this year.

The quirky character Ganji Chudail (bald witch) is known for her eccentric antics and comedic style and seems an unconventional choice for a beauty brand like Nykaa. However, the campaign struck a chord online, amassing over 11 million views on Instagram within just 24 hours.

Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...

"Since opening our doors in 2017, we have pushed for the best guest-experience possible — that's why our dough is 100 percent naturally leavened, that's why we have a purpose-built 400-square-foot pick-up and delivery area, and that's why we’ve launched a direct-to-consumer subscription-based ecommerce platform,” said Founder & CEO Ali Khan Lalani. “In 2020, providing the best guest experience means General Assembly Pizza has to be more than a restaurant.
