Figo India launches its first TV campaign to scrub away stains-and stereotypes-in Indian homes
MUMBAI: Mops may not start revolutions, but sometimes a detergent commercial can. Figo India Pvt. Ltd. has aired its first-ever television campaign, and it’s not just talking about stubborn stains—it’s stirring up conversations about modern households, equal responsibility, and cleaning with purpose.
The campaign spotlights two of the company’s flagship products—Figo Premium Detergent and Figo Dishwashing Liquid Gel. Through warm, slice-of-life visuals and rhythmic storytelling, the ad films aim to portray contemporary Indian homes where wiping spills and washing dishes are no longer gendered duties but gestures of care, collaboration and intention.
“This campaign marks a new chapter for modern Indian households where cleaning is no longer a chore assigned by gender, but an act of shared love and care. With Figo Dishwashing Liquid Gel, we’re not just cleaning plates, we are challenging mindsets and celebrating equality at home. Ab Figo ke saath, ‘Ek Nayi Shuruaat Karega India’”, said Figo India Pvt. Ltd senior associate director O P Khanduja.
The detergent ad leans into emotional chaos—paint stains, pasta spills, and pillow fights—as metaphors for joy, anchored by the brand’s punchline: “Daagon ko boliye Go!” The brand positions itself as a facilitator of memory-making, not just mess-removing.
A proudly Indian brand, Figo operates across home care, personal care and fabric care categories, built on its signature Triple ‘S’ formula—Self to Surroundings Sanitisation. The brand merges safety, affordability and performance while reimagining the meaning of domestic luxury.
To amplify its messaging, Figo has roped in The Crayons Network as its media agency. “We are glad to partner with Figo, an emerging brand that blends performance with purpose. Their commitment to redefining home care aligns perfectly with our vision, and we look forward to making Figo a household name across India”, said The Crayons Network ED Ranjan Bargotra.
The Crayons Network VP – Mumbai Rohit Thakkar added, “We are excited to be on board with Figo at such a pivotal time. Through a sharp and strategic media approach, we aim to drive awareness, spark trials, and ultimately earn Figo a trusted place in every Indian household”.
The campaign is now live across leading national TV networks and is expected to reach millions of viewers over the coming weeks.
Rooted in its ethos of ‘Rooted in India, Reaching the World’, Figo is looking beyond selling products—it’s pitching a cultural upgrade to how Indian homes clean, connect and co-exist.

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI: Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
