These products, however, are often ineffective against hard water stains and can be abrasive on surfaces, leaving bathrooms looking dull.

Addressing this long-standing consumer need for a trusted, versatile and effective cleaning solution, New Harpic Bathroom Ultra Cleaner has been purpose-built for Indian bathrooms. As India’s toughest stain removal specialist^#, it removes everyday stains like yellow hard water marks and limescale, as well as tough stains such as rust, delivering a visibly Ultra Clean and shiny bathroom. Living up to its promise, “New Harpic Bathroom Ultra Cleaner – Kaisa bhi ho daag, poora bathroom ULTRA saaf,” the launch campaign reinforces Harpic’s leadership in the bathroom cleaner category by offering consumers a powerful solution.

Speaking about his association with the brand, Rohit Shetty said, “I know what’s it like when people associate you with a certain style, it means they trust you to deliver every single time. And that trust pushes you to do more, do better and to raise the bar. Whether it’s comedy, action or in the case of Harpic, solid safaai. Harpic has been a trusted name in hygiene for years, even being synonymous with bathroom hygiene. With New Harpic Bathroom Ultra Cleaner, the brand is taking bathroom cleaning to the next level. I am glad to be associated with a product that is tough, dependable and designed for real Indian homes.”

Commenting on the launch, Gautam Rishi, Marketing Director, Hygiene, Reckitt – South Asia, said, “Harpic Bathroom Ultra Cleaner is a strong new innovation engineered to tackle India’s toughest hard‑water stains, where most generic cleaners fall short. This launch strengthens Harpic’s stain‑removal leadership and raises the bar for bathroom hygiene. With Rohit Shetty onboard, we’re delivering a tougher, high‑performance solution designed for Indian homes.”

Anupama Ramaswamy, MD and Chief Creative Officer, Havas Creative India, said, “Harpic has a new hero in its universe – Harpic Bathroom Ultra Cleaner. It’s tough and effective. And that is why it needed a launch that is unmissable and larger-than-life, just like Rohit Shetty, who is the face of the brand. Team Havas Creative India has created yet another power-packed campaign that hits the screens very soon.”

With this launch, Harpic continues to lead the bathroom cleaner category by combining deep consumer insights, advanced innovation and powerful communication, helping Indian consumers move beyond ordinary cleaners to solutions that truly deliver superior bathroom cleanliness.

The eXtended Reality (XR) sector is growing rapidly, fueled by demand for immersive AR experiences in consumer electronics such as XR glasses. In recent years, major investments and innovations have come from leading global technology companies and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). At the core of XR glasses are AR waveguides, essential for seamlessly overlaying digital images onto the real world. For optimal performance, advanced surface relief gratings (SRG+) and nano-imprint lithography (NIL) are the leading platforms, meeting performance, production, and cost requirements for consumer applications.

However, the complex 3D nanostructures created by these technologies present significant challenges for traditional coating methods, which often fail to achieve the necessary performance. Advanced optical coatings are therefore critical to improving efficiency, brightness, and durability while enabling scalable, high-performance manufacturing. Beneq’s C2R™ meets these needs, delivering uncompromising performance and allowing manufacturers to meet the stringent standards of next-generation AR devices.

“With over 45 years in precision optics, Kinko has led the way in adopting advanced technologies to enable high-performance optical components for global tech partners,” said Angus Wu, CTO of Kinko Optical Co., Ltd. “We recognized early the potential of ALD for its coating quality, exceptional conformality, and ability to deliver high-index, low-loss materials essential for advanced optics. With Beneq’s C2R™, we now achieve performance without compromise, combining unmatched deposition speed with low-temperature processing for true high-volume production while maintaining precision on complex structures. This enables us to accelerate AR waveguide commercialization and power the next generation of XR glasses with immersive, seamless consumer experiences.”

“With Beneq’s C2R™, we now achieve performance without compromise. This enables us to accelerate AR waveguide commercialization and power the next generation of XR glasses.” – Dr. Angus Wu, CTO, Kinko Optical

C2R™ features an innovative rotary spatial ALD design that separates precursors in space, achieving up to 100 times faster deposition rates than conventional ALD – up to 2000 nm/h – while maintaining exceptional uniformity and precision. It supports a range of high-index materials, including Al₂O₃, TiO₂, Ta₂O₅, HfO₂, and multilayer stacks, with tunable refractive indices up to ~2.61 (at 448 nm for TiO₂) and low optical loss of ~3 dB/cm.

Other key benefits include low-temperature processing (as low as 100°C) for compatibility with polymer substrates, conformal gap filling on complex gratings, and zero-stress coatings with tunable stress control from 1000 MPa to –200 MPa. In-situ broadband monitoring ensures real-time optimization, enabling the fabrication of thicker multilayer structures without compromising quality. These capabilities align with industry trends toward energy-efficient, sustainable manufacturing and regulatory compliance in optical innovations.

The collaboration positions the AR ecosystem for broader applications beyond XR glasses, including heads-up displays in vehicles and enterprise training tools, accelerating both commercialization and market adoption.

This project is a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) project aimed at building a satellite constellation operated by private-sector companies to ensure stable acquisition of imagery intelligence necessary for ensuring the effectiveness of stand-off defense capabilities*.

* Stand-off defense capabilities are the ability to effectively counter external attacks from a distant position outside the threat range.

“Under the recently concluded contract, Axelspace will participate as the sole optical imagery provider,” said Yuya Nakamura, President and CEO of Axelspace Corporation. “Based on the satellite development and operation technologies we have built to date, as well as our track record of stable image data provision, we aim to accurately address the needs of the national security field. At the same time, we will continue to actively expand the utilization of satellite data in the private sector and emerging markets, which are expected to see significant growth in the future.”
