DaMENSCH forays into adult content space
Mumbai: Taking the marketing game a notch up by jumping on the viral Wes Anderson trend, DaMENSCH’s newly launched campaign #MadeForAdults is a cheeky wink to adulthood. Through the digital film, DaMENSCH is asking men to grow out of the cartoony, less-than-functional innerwear and choose effortless comfort and quality instead.
#MadeForAdults is a multi-dimensional campaign that celebrates adulting, and all the glorious things that come with it. Growing up from funny boxers is one part of that journey. And this story is told through ‘adult’ content-vertising, featuring a collection of clowns caught in hilarious situations because of the boxers they chose to wear.
The campaign video starts with a light-hearted scene of a clown wearing barely functional banana-printed innerwear as pants which is good for nothing. The other clown is just about to confess his love when suddenly his pajama slips, revealing his embarrassing heart-printed boxers – sure to make you smile. A hearty laugh awaits as a cute dog chases a third clown wearing bone-printed innerwear in the next scene. The video ends with accrediting the work to bizarre characters like ‘unimpressed waiter’ and ‘moneyless patron’ to playful frame names like ‘Afternoon Delight-ish’, “Bus Stop to Kolkata”, keeping the viewers gripped till the very end.
Commenting on the same, DaMENSCH co-founder Anurag Saboo said, “Once you wear a DaMENSCH, it’s not easy to go back…this is what our customers swear by and tell us. We thought a good story that can grab the attention of grown-up men and remind them to allow their innerwear to also grow up would be fun and quirky. The #MadeForAdults campaign intends to wake men up to choose premium, innerwear that’s crafted with innovation and delivers superior comfort and functionality. With of course, grown up designs.”
Unlike traditional commercials, the DaMENSCH digital ad relies solely on visuals and sound to convey its message. The absence of dialogue creates a captivating experience that transcends language barriers, allowing viewers from diverse backgrounds to connect with the brand’s narrative. By celebrating the journey from funny to supremely breezy boxers, DaMENSCH invites customers to embrace their adulthood and experience the ultimate comfort and style.

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.
