Mother’s Recipe #PerceptionBadlo campaign highlights the stereotypical comments against women
MUMBAI: FMCG brand Mother’s Recipe has created a powerful vox-pop in collaboration with Social Panga, that questioned the stereotypical comments targeted towards women on International Women’s Day. To commemorate women’s day the company came up with a unique campaign ‘#PerceptionBadlo’ to address the stereotypical prejudices associated with women.
Speaking about the campaign Sanjana Desai, Executive Director, Mother’s Recipe – Desai Foods Pvt Ltd, said “Mothers Recipe as a brand has always encouraged women empowerment and with this campaign, we aim to bring a change in the mindset of the people who create stereotypical biases against women. We have observed that certain comments and remarks are rooted in centuries-long differences in class, sexism, and stereotyped gender roles at work, in society, and in private life. Hence, we created a campaign #PerceptionBadlo to spread awareness against the biases related to a specific gender”.
The campaign was a shout-out to challenging gender stereotypes, where different people gave their opinion on the change they want to see. Instead of the sexist remarks, the type of comments that they would really like to make. This campaign encouraged common people from different walks of life to share their views and opinions.
She further added, “The campaign effectively received 1.4 million impressions and a total of 1.2 million across all platforms thus significantly affecting the stereotypical behaviour. We took the stand as a brand and asked the public to change their perception”
Adding to the success of the campaign, Himanshu Arora, founder of Social Panga, added, ‘’The campaign was the result of the analysis we did regarding the current trends around women. We noticed a lot of chatter around stereotypical discrimination against women like only girls can wear pink, a woman should have a child by the age of 30, women belong in the kitchen, etc. It was a conscious decision to associate with Mother’s Recipe for this campaign for driving a change. Through this campaign we aim to bring a momentum of changing the stereotypical thoughts that are associated with women”.

NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
