Bold Care hits the pleasure button, launches massager line
MUMBAI: India’s numero uno sexual wellness disruptor, Bold Care, is going full throttle into the pleasure lane. The Ranveer Singh-backed brand has launched a brand-new lineup of intimate massagers — five under its booming women’s vertical, Bloom by Bold Care, and two for men — in a move that repositions the massager not as a secret indulgence, but as a daily dose of joyful self-care.
The new drop isn’t just a product launch — it’s a cultural shft. Branded under the philosophy of “Big Pleasure,” Bold Care is flipping the script on self-pleasure from shame to self-empowerment.
Launched just five months ago, Bloom by Bold Care has clocked over 1.5 lakh orders across Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa, Myntra, and its own D2C platform. It’s already 4x ahead of Bold Care’s initial growth curve — and what’s more, it’s profitable. That’s pleasure, powered by science.
The new line-up blends medical-grade silicone with sleek, ergonomic designs, long-lasting rechargeable batteries, and whisper-quiet tech. A 360-degree rotating head, a 365-day free replacement warranty (best-in-class, the brand claims), and affordable pricing give this range serious mass appeal. Products are available via Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, and leading e-tailers.
The woman’s pleasure-giver range is as follows:
* Rush (Rs 1,599): Compact bullet massager
* Tempt (Rs 1,799): Classic wand with powerful vibes
* Arouse (Rs 1,899): Dual-ended delight
* Rhythm (Rs 899): Full-body wand for everyday ease
* Sparkle (Rs 1,499): Travel-sized mini bullet
And men have two varieties in the Bold Care range to opt for, making the choice easier:
* Masterstroke Stroker (Rs 1,499): Textured grip stroker
* Stroke of Genius (Rs 1,899): Vibrating stroker with 10 custom modes
“It is time we start recognising personal pleasure as an essential part of our health. With this launch, we are not just introducing products — we are opening a new chapter in how India approaches intimacy,” says Bold Care co-fouunder & CEO Rajat Jadhav. “Massagers should no longer be hidden or stigmatised, but embraced as essential tools of self-care. At Bold Care and Bloom, we are not just responding to demand, we are leading a shift in culture.”
Since launching in July 2020, Bold Care has been rewriting the rulebook on men’s sexual health — offering science-backed treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE), alongside India’s fastest-growing condoms and lubes. Bloom extends that same science-meets-sensibility playbook to women’s health, tackling root-cause issues from PCOS to menopause.
Massagers are no longer hush-hush. With this bold new range, Bold Care is inviting Indians to indulge in their own pleasure – guilt-free.

Abhay Duggal joins JioStar as director of Hindi GEC ad sales
The streaming giant brings in a seasoned revenue hand as the battle for Hindi television advertising heats up
MUMBAI: Abhay Duggal has a new desk, and JioStar has a new weapon. The media and entertainment veteran has joined JioStar as director of entertainment ad sales for Hindi general entertainment channels, adding 17 years of hard-won revenue experience to one of India’s most powerful broadcasting operations.
Duggal is no stranger to big portfolios or bruising markets. Before joining JioStar, he spent a brief stint at Republic World as deputy general manager and north regional head for ad sales. Before that, he put in three years at Enterr10 Television, where he ran the north region for Dangal TV and Dangal 2, two of India’s leading free-to-air Hindi channels. The north alone accounted for more than 50 per cent of total channel revenue on his watch, a number that tends to get attention in any sales meeting.
His longest stint was at Zee Entertainment Enterprises, where he spent over six years rising to associate director of sales. There he commanded the Hindi movies cluster across seven channels, owned more than half of north India’s revenue across flagship properties including Zee TV and &TV, and closed marquee sponsorships across the Indian Premier League, Zee Rishtey Awards and Dance India Dance. He also handled monetisation for the English movies and entertainment cluster and the global news channel WION, a portfolio that would stretch most sales teams twice his size.
Earlier in his career Duggal closed what was then a Rs 3 crore single deal at Reliance Broadcast Network, one of the largest in Indian radio at the time, before that he helped launch and monetise JAINHITS, India’s first HITS-based cable and satellite platform.
His edge, by his own account, lies in marrying data and instinct: translating audience trends, inventory signals and client demands into long-term partnerships built on cost-per-rating-point discipline rather than short-term deal chasing. In a media landscape being reshaped by streaming, fragmented attention and AI-driven advertising, that kind of rigour is increasingly rare and increasingly valuable.
JioStar, which blends the scale of Reliance’s Jio platform with the content firepower of Star, is doubling down on its advertising business at precisely the moment the Hindi GEC market is getting more competitive. Bringing in someone who has spent nearly two decades doing exactly this, across some of India’s most watched channels, is a pointed statement of intent. Duggal has spent his career turning audiences into revenue. JioStar is clearly betting he can do it again, and bigger.
