Mother’s Recipe redefines universal language of love with new tagline “Taste the Love”
MUMBAI: With the backdrop of gender equality gaining momentum world over, smashing gender roles and stereotypes and a rising wave of aspirational millennials, Mother’s Recipe’s new proposition and tagline – ‘Taste the Love’ is redefining the language of love, through food. The brand has launched a series of video campaigns to promote the same.
The first campaign video encapsulates the journey of a young girl’s move to a big city. Her first taste of food in the new city is completed with a familiar jar of Mother’s Recipe pickle that instantly reminds her of home and the love she has grown up on.
The second video brings the focus on gender equality & dilution of gender roles. Mother’s Recipe’s offerings of convenient, simple food solutions are enabling men to take on roles that were just thrown into a woman’s list of things to do. The video shows a young couple going through the food options to order for dinner after a tiring day. While the man in the kitchen picks up packs from the Mother’s Recipe range to cook up a delicious home cooked meal, for his wife. The video beautifully highlights a simple solution to a Man’s biggest concern – ‘I don’t know how to cook’ while fostering love & understanding. The video also subtly celebrates the new age relationship dynamics which is more open, practical & willing to go the extra mile.
The campaign is the brainchild of Desai Brothers Ltd (Food Division – Mother’s Recipe) chief strategy officer Sanjana Desai and her team. Speaking about it, Desai highlighted the journey she and her team undertook, to closely study and understand the changing consumer behavior. Their desire to embrace the modern, while being rooted in the authenticity of traditional taste and flavor.
“Bringing and highlighting the best of both the worlds is what we set out to achieve through these campaigns. The underlying objective is for Mother Recipe to stay relevant, bringing out our brand promise of staying authentic against the backdrop of evolving aspirations, ambitions, and equations in life. In this fast-paced world, we believe great authentic food is what makes you feel home, and that is what we always focus to deliver,” she said.
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.
