October 2025
From live events and digital campaigns to media partnerships and Diwali celebrations, October turned out to be a vibrant month filled with creativity, collaboration, and the right talent in action.
Talents in Spotlight
Champions Who Changed the Game
India’s ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup victory this November will be remembered as one of the most historic moments in Indian sport - a win that redefined what’s possible for women in cricket. After coming heartbreakingly close in 2005 and 2017, this triumph finally turned years of relentless pursuit into glory.
This month’s Talent Spotlight celebrates the athletes and the coach who made it happen - players who turned pressure into performance and belief into victory, marking not just a historic win, but a new chapter for women’s sport in India.
Harmanpreet Kaur
Captain of the Indian Women’s Cricket Team & 2025 World Cup Winner
From cutting her hair short early in her career to make it easier to manage during intense training sessions, to overcoming her father’s disapproval and pushing through the heartbreaks of past World Cup finals, an every step built towards this moment.
Her leadership and relentless drive carried India to its maiden title, turning years of waiting into pure triumph.
Smriti Mandhana
Vice-Captain of Team India & One of the World’s Finest Batters
Elegant, composed, and lethal with the bat - Smriti Mandhana turns every inning into a masterclass in timing and confidence.
Whether she’s driving through covers or anchoring tough chases, her style reflects calm strength. She’s the player you look to when the scoreboard looks uncertain, and somehow, she always delivers.
Jemimah Rodrigues
India’s Young Cricket Star & Middle-Order Game-Changer
Jemimah Rodrigues, the star batter who owned the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup ; her unbeaten 127 against Australia in the semi-final powered India to a record-breaking chase and set up the country’s first-ever World Cup win.
From facing criticism and self-doubt to becoming the face of India’s biggest cricketing triumph, Jemimah’s journey is one of sheer determination and fearless spirit.
Deepti Sharma
India’s All-Round Force & 2025 World Cup Player of the Series
Steady, focused, and reliable - Deepti is the cold storm every opponent fears.
With her tight spin and smart batting, she turns matches around without breaking stride. Her performance through the World Cup wasn’t just about numbers; it was proof of what consistency and calm can achieve on the world stage.
Shafali Verma
India’s Power Hitter & Woman of the Match in the 2025 World Cup Final
Left out of the squad the previous year, Shafali earned her way back just days before the semi-final and turned that second chance into history.
As India’s opener, her blistering knock in the final delivered the World Cup 2025 title and proved that patience and preparation always find their moment.
Amol Muzumdar
Head Coach of the Indian Women’s Team & The Man Behind Their World Cup Win
A name long respected in Indian domestic cricket, Amol Muzumdar’s journey from player to coach is a masterclass in perseverance.
After years of waiting for a national cap, he found his biggest success guiding others to glory. Under his watch, India lifted its first-ever Women’s World Cup, a fitting chapter in the story of someone who never stopped believing in the game.

In a world that moves faster with every season, self-care often becomes an afterthought. Urban Company’s recent festive campaign turned that thought on its head, reminding people that care begins at home.
Through user-generated content, creators like Naimita Jagasia, Aishwarya Kandpal, Sheena, Priyanka Nazareth, Viraja Achar, Debanjali, and Shraddha Gurung opened a window into their lives, showing how a few hours of professional care at home can bring calm amid the rush. Their posts reflected a familiar truth: celebrations feel brighter when you feel your best.
Through the phrase “It’s a bit of bliss, whenever you feel like it,” each creator highlighted the comfort and ease of Urban Company’s Salon at Home services - a reminder that taking time for yourself doesn’t need a special occasion.
The campaign extends Urban Company’s ongoing message that self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s part of everyday life, made simpler through trust, convenience, and a human touch.
