Dentsu Webchutney wants ad moms back to work
Mumbai: Dentsu Webchutney, the digital-led creative agency from the house of dentsu India, has launched a new talent development program- The Ad Fellows Returnship. It is a 30-day back-to-work program for moms created in partnership with Indian Creative Women, an independent forum working towards furthering diversity in creative teams across the Indian advertising & design industry.
For the record, the virtual learning program will begin on 1 July 2021 and applications are open from 1 June 2021 till 10 June 2021.
The ad fellows outreach is Dentsu Webchutney’s way to open up roles in advertising for people who ordinarily think they cannot make it in the industry. In its new version, the program is open to creative moms who have been part of the industry previously and are looking for a way to make a comeback. Those selected will undergo a month-long learning experience to ease their way back into the field. Throughout the month, they will be paired with creative specialists at Dentsu Webchutney and the Indian Creative Women network to equip thems with what they need to be industry-ready again.
Given that the very nature of marketing services is changing, the agency has collaborated with Indian Creative Women to develop a new syllabus along with teaching techniques for the program, with modules on confidence building and digital creative. The program itself is completely free and those interested can apply through the form available here.
Dentsu Webchutney team said, “We believe in the power of perspectives to make ideas stronger. Diversity in talent will always lead to more diverse work and following up on our success in making advertising open for everyone from Gen Z, to internet obsessives, to people in other industries, we’re excited to take this next step and welcome moms to Dentsu Webchutney. The program has been chartered by a passionate woman-strong team that believes more mothers need to put their lived experiences on the table. We’ve certainly got a long way to go ourselves but we’re very proud to partner with Indian Creative Women and take this much overdue step forward.”
The team of Indian Creative Women added, “Women face several systemic and structural challenges that get in the way of them growing into senior leadership roles. Our industry isn’t doing enough to retain them, specifically mothers. A woman is still blamed if she quits the industry after becoming a mother. There’s simply no organizational support for her to succeed. Dentsu Webchutney’s The Ad Fellows Returnship is a small step in the right direction and should be a great example of what other agencies can follow. This program is hugely influenced by Harshada Thakurdesai, a creative mom and Group Creative Director from Team Indian Creative Women.”
It is pertinent to note here that The Ad Fellows Returnship marks yet another instance of Dentsu Webchutney pushing the boundaries with its talent programs and industry-specific courses. In 2020, it was a virtual internship from home for 50 people. In 2019, The Ad Fellows made advertising a career option for chartered accountants and IT professionals, and in 2018, Pause the Resume hired internet natives out of nothing but their browser history. And now, moms can apply for The Ad Fellow Returnship right here.

Raj Cooling Systems names Bhagyashree ambassador for Kiozy+
New air purifier line targets urban pollution with premium design
MUMBAI: As pollution levels continue to cloud India’s major cities, Raj Cooling Systems Private Limited has unveiled Kiozy+, a premium air purifier range designed to bring cleaner air indoors. Adding a touch of stardust to the launch, the company has appointed Hindi cinema actress Bhagyashree as the brand ambassador for the new line.
Positioned at the intersection of wellness and lifestyle, Kiozy+ promises to do more than simply filter air. It aims to create refined, breathable spaces for modern homes and offices, especially in tier 1 cities where winter smog and airborne pollutants often reach worrying levels.
Raj Cooling Systems, known for its home appliance portfolio, says the new range reflects its continued push towards smart, health-focused innovations. Under the leadership of entrepreneur Kalpesh Manubhai Ramoliya, the company is expanding into products that blend technology with everyday comfort.
Air pollution remains a pressing concern in India’s largest urban centres, where dust, allergens and microscopic toxins can compromise respiratory health and disrupt daily life. Kiozy+ has been engineered to tackle these challenges head-on, using an advanced purification system to filter harmful particles and circulate cleaner air throughout indoor spaces.
“At Raj Cooling Systems, we believe clean air is a necessity, not a luxury,” said Ramoliya. “With Kiozy+, we want families and professionals to take charge of their indoor environment and safeguard their wellbeing. This launch reflects our commitment to innovation and quality that genuinely supports healthier living.”
Bhagyashree echoed the sentiment, highlighting the link between air quality and overall health. “Clean air has a direct impact on immunity and wellbeing,” she said. “Kiozy+ combines intelligent design with elegant aesthetics to create spaces that feel both comfortable and healthy. I am pleased to be associated with a brand that puts wellbeing first.”
With Kiozy+, Raj Cooling Systems is stepping firmly into the wellness-driven appliance segment. The message is simple: when the air outside feels heavy, the air inside does not have to be.
