Re’equil marks its sixth anniversary with #PostPartumDepression campaign
Mumbai: Personal care brand – Re’equil is shedding light on the experience of motherhood through a power campaign video that highlights the unseen struggles of postpartum depression and the quiet strength of mothers who navigate through them with resilience and courage.
Re’equil’s video campaign shows that the best support often comes from ensuring that every mother feels she is not alone, even during tough times.
Every year, 60 lakh mothers and 60 lakh fathers experience postpartum depression. It is a profound and often overlooked challenge that many mothers face as they navigate the transition after childbirth.
In India, postpartum depression affects one in every five new mothers but often goes unnoticed due to societal stigma. Silence can leave new mothers feeling isolated, but sometimes all they need is understanding. Simply listening, validating their emotions, and offering non-judgmental support creates a safe space for them.
“We understand that postpartum can be a period of significant emotional challenge. Our campaign aims to celebrate the strength of mothers and promote open conversations about their experiences and resilience,” said the Re’equil team.
Re’equil’s campaign is a call to end the generational silence surrounding postpartum depression and ensure that future generations of parents are prepared, empowered, and unafraid to face the challenges of parenthood. The brand aims to create conversations around this important subject.
The brand invites everyone to join the conversation and celebrate the multifaceted nature of motherhood.
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.
