Radhika Apte becomes the face of Manforce epic ThinX condoms
Mumbai: Under the umbrella of Manforce- India’s No.1 condom brand, Epic Condoms, has roped in Radhika Apte as its official brand ambassador.
The brand has unveiled the latest campaign with Radhika Apte that emphasizes the importance of female pleasure and choosing the right condom for themselves. Conventionally, the choice of condoms has been a prerogative of men, making it a sensitive and often avoided subject among women. Many women feel discomfort when discussing this matter, a challenge that persists even today.
The brand aims to bring a paradigm shift in the mindset through this campaign. It empowers the women to come to the forefront. The film emphasises never compromise on pleasure, protection, and comfort. This decision should not be left to anyone but should be made jointly by both partners.
It’s a powerful reminder that women should never hesitate to choose what’s right for them including the choice of condom because it’s them only who bear the consequences if quality is compromised.
The brand has launched the Epic ThinX Condom, which is ultra-thin, free from harsh chemicals and is just 0.03 mm thin. It offers a natural feel and is completely vegan with innovative easy peel packaging.
Speaking about the campaign, Mankind Pharma managing director and vice chairman Rajeev Juneja said, “We aim to educate our audience about the importance of choosing the right condom. The campaign highlights that sexual intimacy involves a deep connection between partners, and making informed choices about protection should not be left to anyone else. We are delighted to have Radhika Apte on board, and we strongly feel that Radhika is a complete fit for the brand.”
Commenting on the partnership, Radhika Apte said, “I am thrilled to be the face of Epic ThinX Condoms. My first-ever campaign with Manforce Epic Condom is truly exciting because it not only focuses on promoting safe sex but also emphasizes the importance of making informed choices about one’s sexual health. It’s crucial for people, especially women, to feel empowered to choose the condom that best suits their needs and preferences. I believe this campaign will inspire many to take control of their sexual wellness and make decisions that prioritize their comfort and pleasure”.

KKR sixes to power EV charger rollout under VIDA campaign
Cricket meets clean mobility as big hits spark India’s charging growth
NEW DELHI: VIDA, the electric mobility arm of Hero MotoCorp, has teamed up with Kolkata Knight Riders to launch a campaign that turns cricketing flair into real-world impact.
Titled ‘6 for 6’, the initiative promises to install a 6kW fast EV charger for every six hit by KKR during the ongoing Indian Premier League season. The idea is simple but powerful, as each big hit on the field contributes directly to expanding India’s fast-charging infrastructure.
The campaign builds on VIDA’s growing network, which already spans over 5,300 fast-charging points across more than 430 cities. With EV adoption gaining pace, the brand is using cricket’s mass appeal to accelerate both awareness and infrastructure growth.
Explaining the thinking behind the move, Hero MotoCorp emerging mobility business unit chief business officer Kausalya Nandakumar said, “Cricket has an incredible ability to unite and inspire millions across the country. With the ‘6 for 6’ campaign, we are turning every big hit on the field into a step towards a cleaner and a more accessible mobility future.”
She added that VIDA’s expanding fast-charging network and removable battery technology are designed to make EV ownership more convenient and practical for everyday users.
From the franchise’s side, the campaign is also about giving on-field moments a larger purpose. Kolkata Knight Riders chief executive officer Venky Mysore said, “The ‘6 for 6’ campaign exemplifies the potential of sport as a platform for meaningful, real-world impact. By linking every six to the expansion of EV charging infrastructure, this partnership transforms fan excitement into tangible progress.”
As part of the rollout, VIDA has introduced co-branded charging stations in KKR’s signature colours, with a flagship installation unveiled alongside team players. The chargers are designed for quick top-ups, powering VIDA scooters from zero to 80 percent in about an hour, while also being positioned along key highways to support longer journeys.
The initiative also taps into VIDA’s removable battery system, which allows users to charge using standard household plug points, adding flexibility to the charging ecosystem.
By blending the thrill of cricket with the urgency of clean mobility, VIDA and KKR have found a neat way to make every six count twice, once on the scoreboard and again on India’s road to an electric future.
