IAA India Chapter's Leadership Awards 2026: Siddharth Malhotra Is Brand Endorser Of The Year · freepressjournal.in

Every year, a group called the IAA India Chapter gives awards to people who do great work in advertising, media and business.

In 2026, a famous Bollywood actor named Siddharth Malhotra won the Brand Endorser of the Year award.

A brand endorser is someone who appears in ads and helps people learn about products.

Siddharth has acted in ads for many companies, like Coca-Cola, Oppo phones and Amul.

He made a funny speech, telling the advertisers in the room that he still has plenty of categories left, like shirts, shoes and hair gel, and asked them to give him more work.

The award was presented by Abhishek Karnani, the president of the IAA India Chapter.

Many other people also won awards that night.

Neeraj Roy was welcomed into the Hall of Fame, and Dilip Shanghvi won Business Leader of the Year.

It was a happy evening for people working in advertising and media in India.
