TruSoul Launches TruHerbs Range, A Traditional Ayurvedic Herbs Under TruSoul Wellness Platform

TruSoul, a modern wellness and personal care brand from the House of Baidyanath Ayurved announced the launch of the "TruHerbs range", a thoughtfully curated and refined offering of traditional Ayurvedic herbs under the TruSoul wellness platform. Designed for today’s wellness-conscious consumer, the range brings together four single-herb formulations - Ashwagandha, Gokshura, Brahmi, and Hadjod - in clean, contemporary formats that balance classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern lifestyle needs.

The TruHerbs range is developed using carefully selected herbal ingredients processed under controlled conditions to preserve their natural properties. According to formulation requirements, the products contain concentrated, standardised extracts to ensure uniformity in active constituents while retaining the plant’s natural characteristics. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality checks for purity, safety, and ingredient integrity, and is manufactured in facilities that adhere to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and comply with applicable regulatory guidelines, including FSSAI requirements.

Each herb in the TruHerbs range has been traditionally valued for distinct wellness applications in Ayurvedic literature - Ashwagandha for stress balance, stamina, and overall vitality, Gokshura for strength, endurance, and active living support, Brahmi for cognitive wellness, focus, and mental clarity, and Hadjod for bone and joint support.

Positioned primarily for preventive and lifestyle-oriented wellness, the TruHerbs range is designed to complement balanced living rather than serve as condition-led treatment. It is especially suited for working professionals managing busy schedules, fitness enthusiasts seeking plant-based vitality support, students and knowledge workers prioritising focus and clarity, and adults looking to incorporate traditional herbs into preventive wellness routines.

Speaking during the launch, Adhiraj Sharma, Co-founder, TruSoul, said: “For generations, herbs like Ashwagandha, Brahmi, Gokshura, and Hadjod were part of everyday wellness in Indian households. However, over time, as lifestyles became faster and more urban, that familiarity gradually faded. Convenience replaced tradition, and somewhere along the way, we stopped using them. With TruHerbs, we wanted to bring these age-old herbs back into everyday life – not out of nostalgia, but to help people reconnect with natural wellness in a way that feels effortless, authentic, accessible, and aligned with a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.”

Echoing this vision, Rishi Raj Sharma, Co-founder, TruSoul, said: “We come from a legacy that views herbs not merely as ingredients, but as an integral part of daily wellness. At the same time, we recognise that today’s consumers are well-informed and expect purity, transparency, and consistency. With TruHerbs, we are offering some of Ayurveda’s most trusted, traditional herbs in a premium, contemporary, and easy-to-consume format designed for modern lifestyles. The range has been developed with a strong emphasis on ingredient integrity and rigorous quality checks.”

By introducing TruHerbs, TruSoul further strengthens its positioning as a bridge between classical Ayurveda and modern wellness, demonstrating how heritage ingredients can be thoughtfully reimagined for today’s evolving consumer expectations.

Labels Were Never Her Size — Campus Activewear Celebrates Zeenat Aman This Women's Day

* The OG of unapologetic self-expression extends the You Go Girl movement with a cinematic call to every woman: move freely, move boldly, move your way.

This Women’s Day, Campus Activewear presents a powerful new campaign featuring cultural icon Zeenat Aman, celebrating the freedom for women to move on their own terms as an extension of You Go Girl Campaign.

Conceptualized as a cinematic narrative, the film transcends conventional markers of success, such as wealth, fame, or nostalgia. Instead, it explores what truly drives women forward: choice. Through a series of striking visual moments, Zeenat Aman rejects the glitter, the noise, and the past, ultimately embracing Freedom. The freedom to walk forward without permission, to tell her story her way, and to define success for herself. As she navigates different spaces, her journey becomes a metaphor for every woman who continues to evolve, lead, and inspire others along the way.

“For us, empowering women goes far beyond a campaign or a single day of celebration. It begins with creating an environment where women feel confident, supported, and free to pursue their ambitions without hesitation. At Campus, we focus on understanding their everyday movements and designing products that genuinely make day-to-day lives easier, whether that means comfort through long days, reliability through changing roles, or style that reflects individuality. We believe progress happens when women feel heard, when their feedback shapes what we build, and when small barriers are removed consistently. When women are given the right support system, they do not just move ahead personally. They create momentum for everyone around them.” Said As Prerna Agarwal, Chief Innovation Officer, Campus Activewear.

"I have spent a lifetime being told what I should look like, what I should wear, and what I should represent. And for a lifetime, I have walked my own way regardless. That is not rebellion that is simply knowing who you are. When Campus approached me with this campaign, I said yes immediately, because the message is not about me. It is about every woman who has been handed a label and decided to wear it as a badge of honour instead. You go girl — move your way." Zeenat Aman, Actor, Icon, and You Go Girl Ambassador

The campaign is a bold extension of Campus's You Go Girl initiative, which encourages women to embrace their choices and move through life with self-belief and authenticity. With Zeenat Aman as its voice and symbol, the message becomes even more resonant: freedom is not permission granted, it is power claimed.
