    Men’s grooming brand Bombay Shaving Company has roped in Kartik Aaryan as its new brand ambassador.

     

    On the partnership, Shantanu Deshpande, CEO, and Founder at Bombay Shaving Company said: “Ever since we launched, Bombay Shaving Company has grown to be one of the most successful men’s skincare and grooming innovations in the country and has played a lead role in the premium segment, offering the consumers a unique and indulgent experience. We wanted a celebrity who not only endorses but believes in the product too. Kartik exudes those vibes quite strongly and brings a relatability quotient to the table. Kartik embodies the spirit of a young, feisty startup – he is self-made in an industry where it is rare, has garnered fanfare based on his talent alone. His appeal among the younger audience is exceptional and we believe he will play a big role in Bombay Shaving Company becoming a salient brand for men.”
