Pee Safe’s new DVC champions toilet hygiene, one spray at a time
MUMBAI: Think your spotless toilet at home is squeaky clean? Think again. Pee Safe, India’s leading hygiene and wellness brand, is out to change the way the country views bathroom hygiene with its new digital video campaign: “Hygiene ki aadat banao, Pee Safe ke saath.”
This isn’t just another health PSA. It’s a call for a culture shift. The campaign highlights a blind spot in everyday hygiene: while people are cautious about using public toilets, they often overlook the invisible germs lurking on toilet seats in their own homes.
“A toilet that looks clean can still be teeming with bacteria,” said Pee Safe, founder, Vikas Bagaria. “We want people to understand that hygiene doesn’t end at what the eye can see. Sanitising toilet seats should be as routine as brushing your teeth.”
Backed by data showing India’s female workforce participation rising to 40.3% in 2023–24, the campaign also underscores the increased exposure to shared work and public restrooms. With more women navigating dynamic environments, Pee Safe is championing a hygiene habit that supports both health and confidence.
But the initiative isn’t just for office-goers or commuters. It’s inclusive and family-focused, targeting everyone: men, women, and children with a simple, powerful message: sanitisation is self-care.
By encouraging Indians to adopt toilet seat sanitisation as a daily ritual, the campaign aims to make the act as instinctive as washing hands. With this bold push, Pee Safe hopes to spray away old habits and usher in a new era of mindful, everyday hygiene.

KITKAT India teams up with One Piece for anime-led campaign push
On-pack characters and digital film tap into India’s fast-growing anime wave
MUMBAI: KITKAT India has joined forces with the globally popular anime One Piece, rolling out a new campaign that brings fan-favourite characters onto its packaging in a bid to connect with India’s rapidly expanding anime audience.
The collaboration sees iconic characters from the series featured on KITKAT packs, adding a playful twist to the brand’s long-standing “take a break” proposition. By blending pop culture with confectionery, the campaign aims to make everyday breaks feel a little more adventurous.
The launch is anchored by a digital-first film released across YouTube and Meta platforms, supported by a broader push spanning outdoor media and interactive social content. The multi-platform rollout reflects a clear attempt to meet younger audiences where they already spend their time.
Nestlé India head confectionery business Gopichandar Jagatheesan said, “Anime is a rapidly growing genre in India, and we are excited to collaborate with one of the most popular shows, One Piece. Having championed breaks for decades, KITKAT now takes them to the next level, making every break more epic with the world of One Piece.”
The move comes at a time when anime is shifting from niche interest to mainstream entertainment in India, with brands increasingly tapping into its cultural currency to stay relevant with younger consumers.
By pairing a globally loved anime with an equally recognisable chocolate brand, KITKAT’s latest outing signals a simple idea with strong appeal. In a crowded market, even a small break can turn into a big moment when it comes with a side of fandom.
