Brand Expansion and Marketing AGL has strengthened its brand presence through new campaigns, including appointing Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor as the face of its “Premium ka Pappa” campaign. The company’s Bonzer7 brand has launched the “Kya Baat Hain” campaign featuring Vaani Kapoor to appeal to younger consumers and expand its reach.

These initiatives, AGL said, highlight its commitment to innovation and expanding its presence in premium home décor and bathware segments.
