Orchard creates launch campaign for ISure
MUMBAI: Leo Burnett‘s Orchard Advertising has conceptulaised and executed the launch campaign for Piramal Healthcare‘s ovulation strips brand ISure. Marking a first in the Indian market, the product helps women know the two days of the month when they are most likely to conceive.
The agency has created a 30 second television commercial (TVC) to introduce the product by tapping into the anguish of a woman trying to conceive and used it to communicate the promise of the brand.
The film revolves around an expectant mother, her interaction with her baby bump, her realisation of what tomorrow will brin g, the happiness that will soon follow and her quest of becoming a mother to a beautiful bundle of joy.
As the viewer is shown an expecting mother‘s excitement, she reaches out for a cushion under her shirt, and straightens up before her husband walks into the room. A voice over informs the viewers that ISure helps women determine the two days in the month where pregnancy is most likely and thus helping them plan better.
Orchard Advertising Mumbai VP and branch head Partha Sarkar said, “The brief shared with us was a fantastic starting point. The challenge was to showcase I Sure as a means of inferring those two days when the likelihood of the conception is the highest and not fall in the trap of being taken as a remedy for infertility. Hence we thought that it would be a good idea to connect with all women looking to have a child and sharing with them the delight they will soon experience.”
Orchard Advertising Mumbai ECD Hemant Kumar said, “The idea was to romanticise the joy of pregnancy for the woman. It is the biggest change in her life and we wanted to help her celebrate it. On having spoken to our consumers, we found that there is a sense of completion they feel on having a baby and unfortunately a delay in pregnancy meant a delay in experiencing the greatest happiness in their lives. We wanted to bring this to light.”
The film has been produced by White Light and directed by Namita and Subir.
“The task was to design an environment that would allow us to stage this moment, without making the moment cheesy or juvenile. We decided on a simple song to hold and colour this section composed with lyrics by Rekha Nigam, scored by Zubin Balaporia and performed by Mahalaxmi Iyer. We chose to shoot it on film as opposed to digital video,” shared Subir.
“When a couple is suffering from delayed pregnancy, they get advice from all corners, and are completely confused with all the suggestions and remedies that they come across. Here is a product that will help them put things into perspective and be there for them in the security of their own home, leading to the diffusion of any confusion,” added Sarkar.

Mangaldeep partners with Vrindavan Vibes at ISKCON Vrindavan event
Fragrance brand backs youth led kirtan gathering that drew 4000 plus devotees.
MUMBAI: If devotion had a soundtrack, Vrindavan recently turned the volume up. Mangaldeep Incense has partnered with Vrindavan Vibes at ISKCON Vrindavan, an emerging devotional gathering that blends traditional kirtans with a youthful, community driven atmosphere. The first day of the celebrations alone drew more than 4000 devotees, signalling the growing appeal of participatory spiritual events among younger audiences.
More than a festive collaboration, the association reflects a broader cultural shift in how spirituality is being experienced today. Vrindavan Vibes Jamming, described as a kirtan utsav, brings together youth, families and devotees for collective singing within a sacred temple setting, turning devotion into a shared, immersive experience.
For Mangaldeep, the partnership positions the brand as a long term enabler of community led devotion. Vrindavan, long regarded as the spiritual home of Lord Krishna, remains a vibrant centre for bhajans, temple gatherings and devotional music that attracts pilgrims and visitors from across the country.
As part of the collaboration, Mangaldeep has introduced a fragrance led experience within the venue. This includes ambient fragrance pillars designed to enhance the devotional ambience, a curated Khusbhoo Path experience, a selfie booth for visitors to capture shared memories, and specially designed souvenirs for devotees attending the event.
Mangaldeep divisional CEO of the matches and agarbatti division Rohit Dogra said the initiative reflects the changing ways in which faith is being expressed.
“At Mangaldeep, devotion has always been at the heart of everything we do. Today we are witnessing a beautiful shift in how spirituality is expressed, particularly among young India where bhajans and kirtans are becoming vibrant collective experiences of faith and belonging. Our partnership with ISKCON Vrindavan for Vrindavan Vibes reflects this evolution,” he said.
Bhajan and kirtan gatherings are increasingly emerging as spaces for emotional connection and cultural identity, especially for younger audiences looking for a sense of grounding in an otherwise fast paced world. Participants at the event described the gathering as a moment of calm and shared joy, as chants and music brought thousands together in a collective expression of faith.
By aligning with Vrindavan Vibes, Mangaldeep is positioning itself not just as an incense brand, but as a facilitator of shared spiritual experiences, extending its presence from homes and temples to large scale community led devotional platforms.
