NEW DELHI, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Taggd, a leading digital recruitment platform in India, has launched the “India Decoding Jobs Talent Council Lighthouse Series,” a new podcast series featuring Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) and talent acquisition leaders from top companies in India. Hosted by Mr. Devashish Sharma, Member, National Committee for Skills & Livelihood, Confederation of Indian Industry and Founding Member & CEO of Taggd, the series explores emerging hiring trends, workforce transformation, and the future of talent acquisition in India. The IDJ Talent Council Lighthouse Series aims to democratize talent intelligence by offering actionable insights, strategic foresight, and real-world best practices directly from the industry’s top minds.

Taggd has already launched two episodes of the series. While inaugurating the series, Mr. Devashish Sharma shared, “The India Decoding Jobs Talent Council Lighthouse Series is a landmark initiative that will redefine the HR landscape in India. By engaging in conversation with CHROs, we aim to provide actionable strategies and insights that will empower businesses, academia, and policymakers to navigate the swiftly changing talent landscape adeptly and effectively. This series will not only shape the future of talent acquisition but also contribute significantly to India’s growth story.” 

The inaugural episode of the series features a compelling conversation with Mr. Tarun NP Varma, Global Chief Human Resources & Sustainability Officer at Tata Consumer Products.

Mr. Tarun NP Varma stressed the importance of true diversity, including mindsets from all regions of India, not just metro cities. One of the key takeaways from the episode was, “To build a future-ready workforce, companies must embrace diversity in its truest sense—not just in demographics but in mindsets—and shed restrictive hiring practices like campus exclusivity. The focus should be on finding talent that resonates with customers and aligns with the organization’s values,” he said. He also advocated for skill-based hiring over pedigree, focusing on skills and value chains.

In the second episode, Kevin Freitas, CHRO at Dream11, shared powerful insights on attracting, retaining, and developing top talent in today’s dynamic job market. On the aspect of diversity, Mr. Kevin Freitas said “Diversity is not based on what you see, it’s how you feel every day, and as long as we are giving that to people, you know we are on a winning team.” Mr. Devashish Sharma added while appreciating Dream 11’s efforts to incorporate diverse cultures “Diversity from thought, from the ability to participate in decisions, getting your voice heard, your thought tabled irrespective of your position in the organization”. The episode delves deeper into the spirit of Dream 11, employees’ passion for sports and its effort to cultivate resilient work culture.

Therefore, the Taggd IDJ Talent Council Lighthouse Series is insightful and strategically important for business leaders, HR professionals and recruiters, academia and policymakers, and jobseekers navigating a rapidly evolving talent market and digitization.

Available on YouTube, Spotify, and LinkedIn, the series invites listeners to go beyond textbooks and gain first-hand perspectives from those shaping India’s talent future.

Launch Event Unveils Trillion Protein Hair Revival Ritual & Ultra-Luxe Gold Artist Showcase

MUMBAI, India, April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hindustan Unilever Limited marked a luxurious new chapter in India’s premium beauty landscape with the grand unveiling of Nexxus New York Salon Hair Science, introducing the revolutionary PROMEND range at an exclusive event held at Famous Studios in Mumbai. With an evocative theme of ‘Bond Together’, the event brought together salon-grade science, deep proteomic expertise, and a sophisticated sensorial universe to Indian consumers for the very first time.

THE GOLD STANDARD OF LUXURY HAIRCARE

True to its iconic roots, the highlight of the evening was the hero product – Nexxus PROMEND Resurrection Hair Oil-in-Serum – brought to life through an exquisite artistic installation. In a spectacular statement of luxury, Nexxus revealed an 18k real gold rendition of its iconic golden bottle, crafted by artisans to echo the brand’s philosophy: when science meets luxury, hair shines like gold. This bespoke artist play reinforced Nexxus’ prestige positioning, personifying its aspirational DNA and establishing its hero product as a future cult classic.

SCIENCE THAT SHINES

Taking center stage alongside the glamour were two immersive science demonstration zones that visually brought the promise of proteomic repair to life.

• The Cuticle Transformation Zone offered a microscope-led analysis of untreated vs. Nexxus-treated hair, showcasing the visible revival of damaged cuticles—smoothened, strengthened, and sealed post-treatment.
• The Protein Preservation Test used a protein indicator solution to compare regular shampoos with Nexxus. The test revealed significantly reduced protein loss—validating the 80% protein bleed reduction claim and underlining the efficacy of the Trillion Protein Transfusion technology behind Nexxus.

THREE SIGNATURE ZONES OF ENGAGEMENT

The event design blended immersive storytelling with high-touch elegance:

• The Golden Tunnel & Glam Board led guests into a world of movement, shine, and transformation—amplified by a breathtaking aerial hoop performance that reflected the flowy, featherlight beauty of Nexxus-treated hair.
• The Hero Room housed a 5-ft life-sized golden Nexxus bottle along with a stunning product wall, displaying the full PROMEND Repair, Moisture, and Oil Resurrection range, highlighting claims like ‘2X smoother,’ ’12X stronger,’ and ‘6 drops to virgin hair.’ 
• The Nexxus Salon Experience Zone offered a luxe experiential showcase that paid homage to the brand’s 40+ year professional salon heritage from New York, complete with a salon-style installation where science, performance, and prestige came together seamlessly.

A STARRY NIGHT WITH SOBHITA DHULIPALA

Leading the brand’s Indian narrative was actor and style icon, Sobhita Dhulipala, who made a glamorous appearance as Nexxus’ newly announced Brand Evangelist. With effortless elegance and a strong belief in conscious beauty choices, Sobhita mirrored the brand’s modern muse—refined, empowered, and self-assured.

“Nexxus is where luxury meets science—and I’m thrilled to be part of its journey in India. Nexxus doesn’t just care for your hair, it transforms it. It’s like bringing the power of a salon and the precision of science into your everyday ritual,” said Sobhita Dhulipala.

BRINGING SALON-GRADE SCIENCE TO INDIA The launch also featured insights from Harman Dhillon, Executive Director – Beauty & Wellbeing, Hindustan Unilever, who presented the keynote and unveiled the vision behind Nexxus’ India journey.

“We’re excited to bring Nexxus to India—a brand that embodies the future of haircare: precise, effective, and powered by science. Nexxus is designed to offer Indian consumers transformative results while indulging them in a luxurious experience,” said Harman Dhillon.

AVAILABILITY & PRICING Nexxus New York’s PROMEND range is now available on leading e-commerce platforms—Nykaa, TIRA, Zepto, Amazon, and Myntra—and exclusively at www.nexxus.in. Pricing starts at Rs 1599 for Shampoo, Rs 1899 for the Hair Mask & the Hair Serum in Oil at Rs 2499.

On 17 April, the grand opening celebration welcomed distinguished guests and cultural leaders, featuring a specially composed performance by renowned Italian pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi. Set against the venue’s unique architecture, the score was paired with a dramatic display of 6,000 synchronised drones and pyrotechnics, curated to celebrate the new milestone for Saadiyat Cultural District, and reflect the connection between art, technology and imagination.

H.E. Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, said: “teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is a groundbreaking cultural landmark that redefines immersive art experiences on a global scale. It embodies a bold vision that pushes the boundaries of creativity, technology, and human perception, offering visitors an experience unlike any other. Together with our partner, teamLab, we take great pride in bringing this pioneering concept to life, reinforcing our commitment to shaping world-class experiences that inspire, engage, and contribute to Abu Dhabi’s cultural legacy. Saadiyat Cultural District is a cultural landmark of global significance, bringing together the world’s greatest minds and institutions to foster dialogue, inspire creativity, and shape a more connected future.”

Following the opening ceremony, guests were immersed within newly unveiled teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi exhibits, meandering between its inspiring artistic installations, interacting with the dynamic artworks, and experiencing the connection between art, technology and natural phenomena.

Toshiyuki Inoko, Founder of teamLab, said: “The artworks in teamLab Phenomena do not exist independently but are created by the environment which produces the various phenomena that creates the artworks. Objects such as stones and man-made creations maintain a stable structure independently. A stone, for instance, will remain unchanged even if placed in a sealed box, isolated from the outside world. In contrast, a vortex in the ocean will vanish in an instant if removed from its environment. Unlike a stone, a vortex does not sustain itself; it evolves with the surrounding currents, formed by water flowing continuously from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside of the vortex, changing along with the flow. Moreover, the boundaries of its existence are ambiguous, and there is no material distinction between the vortex and its surroundings.

“The unique environment produces the phenomena, and the environment maintains the existence of the structure. Let us call that existence Environmental Phenomena. The artwork is inseparable from the environment and changes along with the environment. This concept transcends the various conventional notions of existence by physical forms. Even if people immerse themselves physically into the artwork, the artwork will remain intact, capable of naturally restoring itself even if disrupted. However, when the environment is not sustained, the artwork will disappear. The boundaries of the artwork are ambiguous and continuous with the environment. Perhaps, people’s consciousness will expand from the artwork itself to the environment beyond.”

Spanning 17,000 square metres, teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi has been developed by the internationally acclaimed art collective teamLab, in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi). The multi-sensory art experience reflects the emirate’s unwavering commitment to fostering creativity and cultural innovation on a global scale, and it presents massive transformative artworks that each blend art, science and technology in groundbreaking ways.

teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is designed to explore and transcend the limits of every guest’s imagination. Each artwork within the unique, purpose-built venue will evolve over time through the interplay of light, sound and movement. Unlike artworks at traditional galleries, visitors will discover exhibits that are fluid, existing in a dynamic relationship with their environment. Each artwork responds to guests’ actions and natural changes in the environment, creating a living, breathing art experience, unlike any other.

Comprising two distinct Wet and Dry areas, guests will be immersed in a series of mesmerising visuals, vibrant landscapes and interactive installations that dissolve the boundaries between art and audience. Every moment offers a new philosophical experience, ensuring that each visitor experience is unique.

In the Dry area, visitors will encounter a variety of artworks that encourage interaction, responding to their movements and actions to create a unique connection between guests and the installations. As they move into the Wet area, guests will follow a dedicated walkway leading them into an exciting realm filled with fluid, hands-on experiences that further deepen their connection with the art.

teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is a key addition to Saadiyat Cultural District, which upon completion will be the largest concentration of world-leading cultural and educational institutions. The District is home to an unparalleled lineup of museums and cultural landmarks, including Louvre Abu Dhabi; the upcoming Zayed National Museum, the national museum of the UAE; Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, featuring a global collection of modern and contemporary art that reflects the diversity of cultures and trends from around the world; and Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, telling the story of life on earth and the origins of our universe.

The addition of teamLab Phenomena reinforces Abu Dhabi’s position as a global cultural epicentre, offering visitors a unique and transformative experience while showcasing its commitment to creativity, innovation and cultural collaboration on a global scale.
