Canva India's new ad spotlights everyday creativity from homes to boardrooms
Canva, the world's only all-in-one visual communication platform has announced the launch of the second edition of its flagship brand campaign in India, 'Dil Se, Design Tak'. Building on the strong momentum of last year's debut, the refreshed campaign delivers deeper insights, emotionally resonant narratives and culturally rooted storytelling that reflects Canva's core mission: making design simple, joyful and accessible for everyone. Drawing from the feel-good premise of the first campaign, 'Dil Se, Design Tak' returns with two new storylines that celebrate the many faces of creativity. From families crafting meaningful moments with heart, to professionals turning big ideas into reality with ease, Canva continues to empower creators across every walk of life. 'Design has become a powerful way to create, connect, and communicate in India. With the second edition of 'Dil Se, Design Tak', we are celebrating the creativity in everyday life, from living rooms to boardrooms. The stories are bigger, the communities more diverse, and at the heart of it all is a strong belief that anyone can design. Whether you're a student, a freelancer, a teacher, or a small business owner, Canva is here to help you turn ideas into impact, on your own terms, in your own language,' said Chandrika Deb, country lead - India, Canva. The first film introduces us to Jaadu Dadu, a charming magician played by veteran actor Dalip Tahil, who effortlessly fills every room with wonder, except the one closest to his heart. His spirited granddaughter Drishti and her playful dog Chico adore his tricks, but his daughter Aaliya (played by Saloni Batra) longs for genuine connection rather than performance. As unresolved issues surface, Aaliya, the central character who anchors both films, finds herself confronting her father's emotional distance. Drishti then turns to Canva not just to create, but to reconnect. She designs a heartwarming poster that becomes a turning point, bringing the family together through thoughtful creative expression. The film highlights that a timely, meaningful design can become more than a message, it can be the catalyst for change. The second film, which will be unveiled in the upcoming weeks, unfolds in a dynamic workplace where we meet Aaliya again, this time as a millennial manager, mentoring Sia, a Gen Z teammate brimming with bold ideas and a distinct creative voice. The film is a clever attempt at highlighting the cliched workplace conflict between the two generations and how Canva becomes the space where their perspectives begin to align. It celebrates the power of shared creativity and puts teamwork and collaboration at the heart of it. Supporting the hero films are a collection of short format ads featuring the same beloved characters, using Canva's innovative features to express themselves with intent and ease. It's where creativity meets real-life impact: one design at a time. Canva renewed its collaboration with OML Entertainment to conceptualise the second edition of 'Dil Se, Design Tak', building on the campaign's original creative foundation while evolving its narrative and visual storytelling into fresh, inspiring terrain. To capture the vibrant diversity of India, the campaign goes multilingual this time. Featuring Tamil and Telugu hero films led by local talent, the second edition of 'Dil Se, Design Tak' celebrates everyday creativity with cultural nuance and authenticity. Dubs in Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi and Bengali further strengthen its reach, ensuring everyone can find themselves in these stories. The films highlight varied use cases of Canva AI, Magic Media, Magic Design, and Photo Background Remover, showcasing how these tools fit seamlessly into everyday scenarios - whether it's creating a heartfelt poster at home or delivering a pitch-perfect presentation at work. The campaign is rolling out across traditional media avenues including television, cinema, and digital platforms including YouTube, Meta, Snapchat, and Spotify. It will be amplified through creator partnerships, regional content collaborations, and hyperlocal activations that bring design closer to communities. Watch the video here:

From Lyari to world stage
Aaliya Soomro, a proud daughter of Lyari, has proven that no obstacle can stand in the way of true passion. Defying stereotypes and breaking barriers, she has shattered the myth that sports are defined by gender. Aaliya made history by knocking out a Thai opponent in just 45 seconds during a World Boxing Fight in Bangkok. Speaking to the media, Aaliya said, "I belong to a poor family and a remote area, but my determination brought me this far. People told me that boxing was not for women but I proved that girls can do anything." She shared that despite her achievements, she received no support from sponsors, companies, or institutions. "No one supported me. I was ignored, but I accepted the challenge when selected," she said. Aaliya has now been selected for the Women's International Boxing Association title, and her next fight is expected in August against an Indian boxer in Dubai. "So far, I have not lost a fight since starting professional boxing," she added. Aaliya revealed her passion for boxing began at the age of six. "When I started, no one stood by me. Now that I have won, everyone is with me. I am happy to have the support of the public and media." A ceremony was held at the Karachi Press Club in honour of Pakistan's first female boxer, Aaliya Soomro. The event was organised by the Pakistan Association of Press Photographers to celebrate the achievements of the 19-year-old world boxing champion. Journalists, photographers, and other distinguished guests attended the event held in the club's boardroom. Officials of the Pakistan Association of Press Photographers and other participants at the ceremony emphasised that with proper support from the government and private sector, Pakistan's sports talent can shine globally. Veteran journalist GM Jamali, while addressing the event, praised Aaliya Soomro's dedication and perseverance. "Coming from a resource-deprived area like Lyari to earning recognition on the global stage is an extraordinary achievement. Aaliya's journey represents the empowerment of women in Pakistan and the beginning of positive change," he said. "Her success is a beacon of hope for young women, and we are proud of her." At the end of the ceremony, participants paid tribute to Aaliya Soomro and presented her with commemorative shields in recognition of her accomplishments.
