MUMBAI: When Mumbai rains come knocking, most people reach for an umbrella. But Prajakta Koli is here with a newsflash: it's time to grab a pair of Floatz instead. Bata India’s latest campaign for its Floatz range has landed with a splash, fronted by content creator and actor Prajakta Koli in the role of a delightfully offbeat news reporter.
Launched on 27 June 2025, the campaign brings a playful monsoon-ready message to the streets and screens. Koli’s PSA — ‘Floatz is your go-to, come rain or shine!’ - sets the tone for a series of tongue-in-cheek scenes where the stylish clogs stand tall in puddles, errands, and even airport fits. Designed with waterproof material, anti-skid soles, and the brand’s proprietary FloFoam cushioning, Floatz aim to put comfort and durability on a collision course with street style.
Retailing from just Rs 1199, the clogs come in breezy pastel hues, promising fashion without soggy consequences. Built with dual-density soles and reliable arch support, they’re pitched as a fuss-free footwear fix for the wet months.
"Much like Prajakta Koli, whose authentic and relatable personality strikes a strong chord with today’s youth, Floatz by Bata is designed to deliver effortless style and comfort at an accessible price”, said Bata India head of marketing Deepika Deepti. "Whether you're navigating a busy workday or heading out for a casual evening, it’s the perfect all-day companion, especially during the monsoon season”.
Koli added, "Being a true-blue Mumbaikar, monsoons hold a very special place in my heart... It’s like coming home, but in super comfy shoes!”
Floatz is currently the fastest growing brand under Bata’s portfolio and is available at over 1,900 stores across India and on bata.com. With this campaign, the legacy brand is clearly betting on cool comfort and creator credibility to win the monsoon rush.
