Care packages from maa, signed by Himalaya
MUMBAI: From soft lullabies to messy mealtimes, every mum knows: parenting is part instinct, part endurance and a whole lot of heart. Now, Himalaya Babycare, India’s No.1 doctor-prescribed baby care brand, is honouring this quiet strength with its new digital campaign, ‘Maa Ka Bharosa’.
Rolling out across social media, the campaign comprises six digital video commercials (DVCs), each spotlighting a hero product from Gentle Baby Lotion to Baby Crème. But these aren’t your run-of-the-mill ads. Instead, they’re warm, slice-of-life vignettes that mirror what millions of mums do every day: massage, wash, soothe, repeat with unconditional trust.
“These moments may seem ordinary, but they’re sacred,” says Himalaya Wellness Company director of Babycare Chakravarthi N V. “Through this campaign, we’re not just showcasing our products, we’re paying tribute to mothers who choose love and care in every routine.”
And what are they choosing? Products packed with up to 99 per cent natural origin ingredients, pH 5.5 balance, and key Ayurvedic elements like olive oil, almond oil, and licorice. Each formulation is clinically tested, tear-free, and rooted in Kaumarabhritya the ancient Ayurvedic science of infant wellness.
Importantly, Himalaya Babycare isn’t just mum-approved; it’s also pediatrician-endorsed, with products trusted by healthcare professionals for newborn use from day one.
Whether it’s bath time or bedtime, the campaign reminds us that parenting isn’t powered by perfection, but by small, consistent rituals and the brands mums trust to carry them through.
Because in the end, the best baby care isn’t just gentle on skin. It’s also gentle on a mother’s heart.

KITKAT India teams up with One Piece for anime-led campaign push
On-pack characters and digital film tap into India’s fast-growing anime wave
MUMBAI: KITKAT India has joined forces with the globally popular anime One Piece, rolling out a new campaign that brings fan-favourite characters onto its packaging in a bid to connect with India’s rapidly expanding anime audience.
The collaboration sees iconic characters from the series featured on KITKAT packs, adding a playful twist to the brand’s long-standing “take a break” proposition. By blending pop culture with confectionery, the campaign aims to make everyday breaks feel a little more adventurous.
The launch is anchored by a digital-first film released across YouTube and Meta platforms, supported by a broader push spanning outdoor media and interactive social content. The multi-platform rollout reflects a clear attempt to meet younger audiences where they already spend their time.
Nestlé India head confectionery business Gopichandar Jagatheesan said, “Anime is a rapidly growing genre in India, and we are excited to collaborate with one of the most popular shows, One Piece. Having championed breaks for decades, KITKAT now takes them to the next level, making every break more epic with the world of One Piece.”
The move comes at a time when anime is shifting from niche interest to mainstream entertainment in India, with brands increasingly tapping into its cultural currency to stay relevant with younger consumers.
By pairing a globally loved anime with an equally recognisable chocolate brand, KITKAT’s latest outing signals a simple idea with strong appeal. In a crowded market, even a small break can turn into a big moment when it comes with a side of fandom.
