Blenders Pride Packaged Drinking Water, a cultural icon that has elevated the idea of success for generations, unveils its newest campaign, ‘The One And Only’ – a compelling new narrative of success. In today’s world, where markers of success have become increasingly visible and crowded, the brand reasserts a timeless truth – True success lies in distinction – that draws admiration and sets one worlds apart.

The new campaign captures this spirit, portrayed by three protagonists—Avanti Nagrath, Kirandeep Chahal and Mahieka Sharma — each embodying a different facet of the brand. Avanti radiates charisma with her fearless confidence and individuality, Kirandeep evokes desire with her magnetic and unapologetic presence, and Mahieka inspires awe with poise and quiet admiration – all in an aspirational world filled with many equals — yet where they and hence, the brand itself, stand a cut above the rest and unmistakably command everyone around them.

Rooted in style and substance, the brand has consistently shaped aspirational success in modern Indian culture – from leading with innovations, pioneering many industry-firsts to building iconic fashion platforms. With ‘The One And Only’, it now charts the course of its next evolution, speaking directly to a new generation of bold achievers who seek more than recognition – they seek admiration & influence.

The 360-degree integrated campaign has been launched across Digital & Social platforms including the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup, front page ads on leading Newspapers and impactful Outdoor sites across major cities, driving widespread visibility and reinforcing the brand’s cultural leadership. 

Debasree Dasgupta, Chief Marketing Officer, Pernod Ricard India, said, “Blenders Pride has always believed in the power of success with style and stature. ‘The One And Only’ presents a defining new idea of success, one that’s fueled by distinction. It brings forth the cultural context that, today, the aspiring youth in India aims to not just be successful but stand apart with assurance. With this narrative of success, Blenders Pride captures the resounding aspirations of the youth, while further strengthening its position as an inspiring cultural leader.”

• Transaction results in 60.8% ownership by 2PointZero
• Packaging becomes the sixth consumer-focused vertical with ISEM as an anchor

2PointZero Group PJSC (ADX: 2PointZero), a next-generation investment powerhouse focused on energy and consumer sectors, announced today that it has formally completed the transaction to acquire a majority position in ISEM, a leading European packaging group serving beauty, fashion, luxury, nutraceuticals and more, for AED 704 million through a combination of secondary and primary capital earmarked to accelerate organic and inorganic growth.

2PointZero Group now holds 60.8% of ISEM, while Peninsula Capital and minority investors own the remaining 39.2%. This marks the start of a strategic partnership between 2PointZero and Peninsula. Together, the partners will reinforce ISEM’s leadership position with a focus on category and geographic expansion, embedding AI and digital technology across the business — from manufacturing to client operations — and supporting targeted M&A to extend ISEM’s industrial footprint and product capabilities.

Samia Bouazza, CEO of 2PointZero Group, said: “The completion of this transaction marks an important step in advancing our global growth ambitions and establishing a scalable platform in the packaging industry. Packaging will become our sixth consumer-focused vertical. During our visit to ISEM’s facilities, I was particularly impressed by the level of automation, advanced robotics assembly, and state-of-the-art facilities, which drive operational efficiency, consistency, and margin strength.”

Bouazza added: “Our entry into packaging is due to the sector continuing to deliver strong CAGR growth across multiple sub-segments, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and luxury. With our track record in strategic M&A, AI deployment, and operational integration, we are well positioned to support ISEM in accelerating its international expansion, while expanding across both primary and secondary packaging and delivering long-term returns for our shareholders.”

The closing of this transaction clearly represents an expansion into packaging by 2PointZero Group, establishing its sixth consumer-focused vertical whilst complementing its existing beauty and apparel businesses. The Italian-based ISEM Group, founded in 1949 and headquartered in Bologna, is a highly automated leader that reinforces the ‘Made in Italy’ brand hallmark. Globally, ISEM is recognised for its quality, innovation, and association with key luxury clients, including LVMH, Kiko, Gucci, L’Oréal, Puig, and Coty Lancaster. ISEM products include rigid boxes, folding cases, silk paper, and dust bags, with an industrial footprint comprising 11 manufacturing plants spanning more than 100,000 m².

Borja Prado, Founding Partner of Peninsula Capital, commented: “Completion of this transaction marks the beginning of an exciting new phase for ISEM. The group has established itself as the packaging partner of choice for the world’s most demanding luxury clients, and this investment will provide ISEM with the capital, global reach, and strategic support to further accelerate its expansion. Partnering with 2PointZero brings complementary capabilities that we believe will be transformative — not only for ISEM, but for the clients it serves as well. We look forward to building the next chapter together.”

Francesco Pintucci, CEO of ISEM Packaging Group, commented: “Today marks the start of a next chapter of the Group. The Group can now offer our clients: greater scale without losing the precision and personal commitment that sets ISEM apart. Group’s people, craftsmanship and relationships with the world’s leading luxury houses — those remain the heart of everything ISEM does. With 2PointZero and Peninsula, ISEM has the platform to take that offer global. I am proud of what we have built in a very short time and thank the entrepreneurs, my friends and part of our incredible journey, all Groups’ people and all our stakeholders, clients, suppliers, for their important support.”

Partners and senior associates from the leading global law firm, Hogan Lovells, advised 2PointZero and Peninsula Capital on buy-side M&A and FDI matters and antitrust matters. Legance assisted Peninsula Capital on its reinvestment in ISEM and the stakeholders’ agreements with 2PointZero Group, and Van Campen Liem advised [Peninsula] on deal structuring. At the same time, Gatti Pavesi Bianchi Ludovici and Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer advised on the sell-side throughout the sale process.

Your tech should match your energy, not just your outfit. TECNO has officially launched POP X in two refreshing shades, Flare White and Chilly Green, designed to be a literal mood board in your hand. Whether you’re leaning into a calm, minimalist aesthetic or something more high-energy, these colours aren’t just for show – they’re made to make a statement without saying a word.

The smartphone is now available at Rs. 8,499, exclusively on Amazon. As part of a special launch offer, it will be available at Rs. 7,749 with HDFC Bank Credit Card from March 6 to March 12.

With the philosophy of MAKE IT POP, this device is crafted for those who don’t just follow trends but create them. Whether your vibe is calm and minimal or bold and energetic, the design makes a statement without trying too hard.

POP X is more than just aesthetics, it is engineered for the daily hustle. The smartphone features a 120Hz Super Smooth Display that makes scrolling through social feeds, gaming sessions, and binge-watching marathons feel fluid and responsive. Connectivity has also been reimagined. With No Network Communication 2.0, POP X enables direct device-to-device communication up to 1.5 km, even in areas with weak or no signal.

With IP64 resistance, drop-ready protection, and optimized long-term performance, POP X is built to handle dust, splashes, and everyday slips. The device is also engineered to deliver lag-free performance for up to 4 years, ensuring reliability that matches Gen Z’s non-stop pace. Durability remains a core strength.

At the heart of the experience is Ella AI, designed with India in mind. Supporting multiple regional languages including Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Gujarati, and Marathi, Ella understands commands naturally and responds with contextual intelligence. It powers smart features like AI Flash Snap to capture sharp moments instantly, AIGC Portrait 2.0 to create model-like portraits in seconds, real-time song identification, AI image generation and many more.

As global energy demand shifts toward the Pacific Rim, Canada faces growing pressure to expand export capacity beyond traditional U.S. markets. While many major infrastructure projects encounter prolonged regulatory delays, Kitsault Energy (KE) is advancing a corridor-based solution designed to connect Western Canadian resources directly to international buyers.

Since January 2013, Krishnan Suthanthiran, President and Founder of KE, has championed the same core vision for the KE Project: a dedicated West Coast energy corridor built on existing, previously approved pipeline routes and anchored by his privately owned townsite of Kitsault.

At the center of the proposal is the construction of a dedicated West Coast energy corridor extending from northeastern British Columbia to a new deep-water export port and terminal at Observatory Inlet, approximately 30 kilometers south of Kitsault. The project would enable exports of crude oil and natural gas liquids, as well as key commodities including potash and uranium.

Key Components of the KE Project:

1. Construction of two pipelines—one for crude oil and one for natural gas liquids (NGL)—utilizing the previously approved Spectra pipeline corridors (permits currently expired).
2. Kitsault Townsite is well-positioned to support this development. The community can accommodate more than 1,000 residents and offers excellent housing and recreational infrastructure.
3. Development of the Kitsault Export Port and Terminal at Observatory Inlet.
4. Construction of a rail line connecting Terrace to Nass Camp, Kitsault, and Observatory Inlet.
5. Repave the existing Nass Camp airport runway to become operational and accommodate propeller aircraft such as the Q400, capable of transporting up to 100 passengers and cargo per flight.
6. Pave existing gravel road from Nass Camp to Kitsault, and construct a new paved road from Kitsault to Observatory Inlet.
7. Development of new housing infrastructures, ProHealth Centers, installation of purified drinking water and modern sewer systems, job training facilities, and jobs to be established in First Nation communities along the pipelines route.
8. Investment and participation by First Nation communities.
9. Natural gas liquids, crude oil, potash, uranium, and other commodities will be shipped from the new Kitsault Port and Terminal.
10. KE is currently seeking support from the provincial and federal governments of Canada.

Saskatchewan currently produces about 25 percent of the world’s potash, expanding, increased export capacity on Canada’s West Coast could further reinforce the country’s leadership in global fertilizer markets. Saskatchewan is also a major source of uranium, supplying a significant share of the world’s nuclear fuel and strengthening Canada’s role in the global energy sector.

KE’s integrated infrastructure approach is designed to accelerate development timelines, enhance trade diversification, create jobs, and support First Nations communities, reinforcing Canada’s reputation as a stable and reliable global supplier of crude oil, NGL, potash, and uranium.

Xsolla, a leading global video game commerce company, today announced the Xsolla Reseller Program, a new product designed to help game developers scale and capture untapped revenue in local markets with no development needed. The program launches with a curated cohort of resellers and distributors in Southeast Asia and Latin America, with expansion into additional regions throughout 2026.

As game developers pursue global growth, they face a fundamental infrastructure challenge: billions of dollars in revenue remain untapped in emerging, cash-dependent economies, such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and North Africa, where players purchase digital content through local distribution partners. In mature digital economies, developers seek to extend their reach and distribute digital inventory at scale through more partners and channels.

“Most game developers face the same challenge when scaling globally: they lack the local infrastructure and direct access to regional markets especially when building the presence independently is slow, costly, and operationally complex,” said Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla. “The Xsolla Reseller Program solves this by acting as the infrastructure layer between developers and vetted local resellers. We’re starting with markets where reseller infrastructure is already the primary way players access digital content, Southeast Asia and LATAM, and will be expanding from there to provide a unified global experience for game developers.”

The Xsolla Reseller Program is designed to transform this untapped global demand into a controlled revenue stream by connecting game developers with verified local resellers through a centralized platform that handles communication, onboarding, compliance, fraud protection, and customer support.

Key benefits of the Xsolla Reseller Program include:

• Maintain full control over regional distribution strategy with SKU Availability Controls that define which products are sold, where they’re available, and which authorized partners can distribute them
• Guarantee compliance across all reseller partnerships through a Verified Reseller Approval Process, including business validation, financial checks, ongoing transaction monitoring, and publisher-controlled partner approval
• Secure revenue by eliminating arbitrage and pricing abuse with geo-fenced key distribution and built-in fraud protection that locks keys by region
• Reduce operational overhead with a Global Payout Infrastructure that automates tax documentation compliant with local requirements across 150+ countries
• Optimize performance and drive an effective distribution strategy with a Unified Reseller Analytics Dashboard offering clear visibility into reseller activity, transactions, regional trends, and channel effectiveness
