Invesco Mutual Fund’s Diwali film #NayaRiwaaz turns a family tradition into a story about investing across generations


November 4, 2026: This Diwali, Invesco Mutual Fund has launched its #NayaRiwaaz campaign, reimagining the tradition of gifting through a heartwarming family story centred on dreams, discipline and legacy. The campaign highlights how small gestures, when nurtured over time, can shape bigger aspirations and become meaningful traditions passed down across generations.

The film follows Aryan, who receives a blue lifafa from his father every Diwali before the mithai, a simple ritual that gains deeper meaning as he grows up and pursues his aspirations. Years later, Aryan passes the same tradition on to his daughter, carrying forward a ritual that began with his father.

Speaking about the campaign, Ameya Ingle, Director & Head – Marketing, Invesco Mutual Fund, said:
“Diwali is a festival of traditions, family and new beginnings. We wanted to show how one small gesture, repeated with love and intent, can become something much bigger over time. With #NayaRiwaaz, we celebrate the idea that investing can become a meaningful family tradition, much like the rituals and values that are passed down through generations. While gifts bring joy in the moment, the habits and values we pass on can stay with us for generations.

With this campaign, Invesco Mutual Fund aims to bring the conversation around investing closer to the way Indian families think about their dreams, their children’s futures and the traditions they choose to carry forward. The film builds on a simple but powerful thought: some traditions are inherited, while others begin with a new gesture.”

The campaign film, developed in collaboration with Analogue Studio, seeks to encourage families to consider investing as part of their financial planning, highlighting the importance of starting early, staying invested and working towards long-term financial goals.

Tata AIA Vitality: A Reimagined Wellness Programme Designed to Add Up to Five Years to Your LifeBacked by science-led research, Tata AIA Life Insurance’s enhanced offering rewards everyday healthy habits, with life protection built in

Tata AIA Vitality: A Reimagined Wellness Programme Designed to Add Up to Five Years to Your Life
Backed by science-led research, Tata AIA Life Insurance’s enhanced offering rewards everyday healthy habits, with life protection built in

November, 2026: What if the small choices you make every day could add years to your life? The walk you almost skipped, the extra hour of sleep, the health check-up you kept postponing.

That is the premise behind Tata AIA Vitality, the wellness engine at the heart of Tata AIA Life Insurance’s newly relaunched Vitality offering.

Research has shown that people who consistently build healthier habits can potentially add up to 5 years* to their life expectancy. Since first introducing Vitality to India in 2022, Tata AIA Life Insurance has been bringing that science to Indian customers. The programme now returns with a sharper focus on longevity, easier ways to earn rewards and richer benefits.

The science behind the promise
The five-year figure comes from Vitality’s global research. A seven-year study of around 465,000 Vitality members, peer-reviewed by the London School of Economics, found that people who moved from an inactive lifestyle to an active one could reduce their risk of death by up to 57%. That is equivalent to adding up to five years to their life expectancy. The gains held across ages 30 to 70, and even members who were active just one or two days a week added more than two years. This is why Tata AIA Vitality now rewards members from 5,000 daily steps: small, consistent changes make a real difference.

*Based on Vitality UK analysis of members who moved from 0 to 21+ activity points a week, applied to standard UK mortality rates. Refers to the average increase in life expectancy. Individual outcomes may vary.

The same study was done for Indian population for both male & female customer base covering age brackets 20 to 60 & factors such as physical inactivity, poor diet, smoking, alcohol, sleep.
Sources: ICMR, Indian Institute of Science, WHO & National Library of Medicine.

The five-year promise: how it adds up
The longevity benefit doesn’t come from a single decision. It comes from sustained, everyday habits:
• Move more: Regular physical activity, tracked through steps, workouts and heart rate.
• Know your numbers: Annual health checks and screenings that catch risks early.
• Mind your mind: Mental health assessments with personalised, risk-based guidance.
• Track your progress: Vitality Age compares a member’s body age with their actual age, so they can watch the gap close as their habits improve.

How the journey works
Tata AIA Vitality is designed so that the motivation to get healthy doesn’t have to come from willpower alone — it’s built into the programme from day one.
• Rewarded from day one: Members get discounts on athleisure, footwear, fitness wearables and gym memberships from partners including Decathlon, Puma, Google, FitPass and cult fit. They don’t have to wait for results first.
• Every healthy action earns points: Walks, workouts and health checks move members up through four Vitality Status tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
• Healthy habits lower renewal costs: At renewal, a member’s Vitality Status earns them premium discounts,
• What’s new: easier to start, easier to sustain
• Lower step goals: Members now earn points from 5,000 daily steps, down from 7,500, because consistency matters more than intensity.
• Health Connect integration: Steps, heart rate and other health data are tracked more reliably.
• Instant gratification to customer
• Enhanced renewal premium discounts

Speaking on the launch, Sujeet Kothare, Chief Business Officer – Proprietary Business, Propositions & Marketing, Tata AIA Life Insurance, said:
“We believe the future of insurance lies in prevention as much as protection. Tata AIA Vitality Health goes beyond traditional health coverage by encouraging healthier behaviours through a science-based wellness programme that rewards progress and positive habits. By integrating wellness with protection, we are helping individuals and families build healthier lives while strengthening their financial resilience.”

A wellness journey designed around every stage of life

Tata AIA Vitality recognises that the meaning of a healthier life evolves across different stages of a customer’s journey. The programme is designed to be personalised, meeting customers where they are and rewarding the positive choices that align with their lifestyle, goals and aspirations.

For younger customers who already view fitness and wellness as an integral part of their everyday lives, Tata AIA Vitality transforms existing habits into meaningful rewards. Whether it is exercising regularly, tracking activity, focusing on nutrition or investing in self-improvement, the programme recognises and rewards the lifestyle choices they are already making.
For couples, wellness becomes a shared journey. As life becomes more connected, so do everyday habits. Tata AIA Vitality encourages partners to motivate each other, build healthier routines together and create a shared commitment towards long-term well-being.

For families, healthy living becomes an opportunity to build positive habits together. With engaging experiences and relatable storytelling, Tata AIA Vitality helps families make wellness more accessible and enjoyable — encouraging parents and children to move towards healthier choices while replacing everyday unhealthy habits with positive ones.
For customers approaching retirement or already enjoying their post-work years, financial preparation is only one part of planning for the future. Tata AIA Vitality helps customers focus on the health required to enjoy those years — supporting healthier ageing, active living and continued independence.

This personalised approach reflects a simple belief: wellness is not a one-time milestone, but an ongoing journey shaped by everyday decisions. Tata AIA Vitality aims to make those decisions easier to adopt, rewarding to continue and meaningful over the long term.

Uber reveals new features for its 20 lakh+ earners in India

Uber reveals new features for its 20 lakh+ earners in India

National, October 29, 2026: Uber today unveiled a suite of driver-first innovations at the third edition of Uber Pragati, aimed at making earning on its platform easier, safer and more rewarding. The initiatives span more flexible ways to earn, new income opportunities and stronger safety features when drivers are behind the wheel. Uber also showcased the real-world impact of its unmatched safety technology, including ambulance assistance in emergencies and in-app encrypted video recordings that have helped establish facts in disputed incidents.

Aditya Kapoor, Director – Supply Operations, Uber India & South Asia, said, “Our ambition is to continue being the platform of choice for flexible earning opportunities in India. That means giving drivers the freedom to work on their own terms, the confidence of industry-leading safety protections and more ways to earn. We want to continue setting the benchmark for what drivers should expect from a platform.”

Key enhancements based on driver feedback:

Easier: More flexibility, less hassle

Flexible Drive Pass | Industry-first

Uber offers drivers maximum choice through subscription passes ranging from just six hours to 180 days, catering to the needs of both part-time and full-time drivers.

Quickstart | Industry-first in ride-hailing space
Drivers can now join Uber seamlessly through WhatsApp, making onboarding simpler and more convenient through a chat app they already use every day.

With ‘Earn First, Pay Later’, unlike pay-first models on other platforms, Uber allows eligible drivers to continue taking cash trips even when their balance runs out, within an additional credit limit, reducing interruptions to their working day. Given the preference for audio over text, Uber drivers can now communicate with the riders through Voice Notes in Uber’s in-app chat. All this while using the new simplified Driver App which brings earnings, trip details and important updates together for easier access.

Safer: From innovation to real-world impact
Ambulance Assistance | Industry-first in ride-hailing space
Accessible through Uber’s 24×7 Safety Line in partnership with Dial 4242, Uber now facilitates ambulance assistance. It was pressed into service on 25 occasions in less than four months, helping riders and drivers access timely medical support following accidents.

Record My Ride| Industry-first
The encrypted video-recording feature takes guesswork out of what happens during a ride. It has already helped clarify a disputed incident involving a rider and driver, with the recording assisting police in establishing the facts.

Safety Content Flag
Uber is introducing real-time chat protections that identify potentially inappropriate language and prompt riders to reconsider messages before sending the hit button. Drivers receiving inappropriate messages can cancel eligible trips without affecting their cancellation statistics.

In addition, the in-app Driver Safety Hub brings safety tools and support together in one place, allowing drivers to keep select protections, including audio recording and trip-sharing, enabled automatically.

More Rewarding: Expanding earning opportunities
More ways to earn for Bike drivers
Uber is expanding earning opportunities beyond conventional bike trips. Bike Intercity enables shorter trips between neighbouring towns and cities, including routes such as Delhi-Meerut. With Uber Direct, bike drivers can also fulfill delivery orders for businesses, while Uber Parcel enables them to deliver personal packages within cities.

Uber Pet creates another earning opportunity for participating car drivers, enabling them to welcome riders travelling with their pets. Uber’s Refer & Earn programme also rewards drivers for bringing new earners onto the platform

PepsiCo India expands better-for-you snacking with Quaker Ladooz and Chikki Bites

PepsiCo India expands better-for-you snacking with Quaker Ladooz and Chikki Bites

Kolkata, 27 October 2026: PepsiCo India has expanded its Better-for-You portfolio by launching Quaker Protein Ladooz (Rose Dry Fruit) and Quaker Protein Chikki Bites (Ragi Choco). Priced at just ₹10, the new range integrates real oats, 12% protein, and high fibre into beloved Indian formats without artificial flavours or palm oil, aiming to democratise nutrition through affordability and familiarity.

The launch is backed by a study titled The State of Protein & Fibre in Urban India, conducted by PepsiCo India with Euromonitor International and the Indian Institute of Millet Research (IIMR). The research revealed a stark nutritional gap: 70% of urban Indians consume less than 41g of protein daily, and 61% fall short on fibre. Additionally, 60% cited high costs as a barrier to protein consumption, while 89% across generations wished for protein in everyday, familiar food formats.

Saakshi Verma Menon, Chief Marketing Officer – Foods, PepsiCo India, said, “Better-for-You innovation is a key part of this journey… With Quaker® Protein Ladooz and Chikki Bites, we are bringing together the nutritional benefits of oats with much-loved Indian snacking formats, making nutrition more relevant in snacking rituals. This advances our ambition to democratize protein and fibre by bringing together familiarity, convenience and affordability.”

Sriram Iyer, Marketing Director – Quaker®, PepsiCo India, added, “Ladoo and chikki are formats Indians already enjoy and understand, making them a natural canvas for us to bring together oats, protein and fibre in a familiar and enjoyable way… With Protein Ladooz and Chikki Bites, we are excited to expand the role Quaker® can play in consumers’ lives and begin a new chapter for the brand in India.”

By aligning with existing eating habits rather than demanding a lifestyle change, Quaker bridges critical nutritional gaps in the daily Indian diet.
