OML has always pushed the envelope when it comes to bridging the gap between creators and brands and building impactful synergetic connections between them.

Her journey is an inspiration to young Indians everywhere. At OML, we have always been excited to push the envelope and work towards bringing our creators to the global stage.”
Dolly Singh – Influencer and Actor states, “The Cannes Film Festival has been an important platform for Indian artists to showcase their talent on the international stage. Over the years Indian talent has not only brought Indian cinema to the world stage but has also helped to break down cultural barriers and promote cross-cultural exchange. Today I am honored to be contributing in my own unique way to this exchange and making my debut this year at the festival. From making candles in the small town of Nainital to walking the red carpet at Cannes with AJIO and Brut India, I’m truly grateful and excited for this opportunity. This was a long-standing dream and I’ve finally ticked an important milestone off my bucket list.”
Her journey to Cannes is nothing short of inspirational. Alongside content creation, she has forayed into the acting space with shows like Bhaag Beanie Bhaag, Feels Like Home, Nat Geo’s It Happens only in India and movies such as Double XL and more slated to be released soon. Furthermore, as an expert in styling and creative direction, Dolly for Cannes possesses a wide range of skills that align with the values of AJIO, making her a credible choice for the brand and for an association that is seamless.
