TTK Healthcare launches “Love Depot”; goes live with campaign #ThePleasureIsAllYours
Mumbai: TTK Healthcare launches all-new sexual pleasure e-superstore Love Depot. With the launch of LoveDepot.com, Indians can now have pleasure as they please – attractively packaged and discreetly delivered to their homes. India has been grappling with the issue of sexual pleasure for decades, this game-changing e-store, the newest venture in the D2C space, is set to bring a paradigm shift in the minds of discerning customers. It pampers its customers as they have never been done before, making passion products accessible and available to all.
The kick-off could not have been better timed. Observers of the market point out that all surveys of sexual behaviour in India indicate this: that the need-gap is widening. The reason is not hard to find as we witness an increasing number of people – of all gender, orientation and interests – open up to looking for more excitement, more adventure and more thrill under the sheets.
Love Depot goes live with their launch campaign – #ThePleasureIsAllYours, with a film that will play on select OTTs, as well as display and social media engagement.
The portal surveyed the market before its launch and the figures tell a dismal tale of love. Over 81 per cent of women surveyed reported to be dissatisfied with their sex lives, with 73 per cent rarely reaching their climax. Additionally, two out of three women admitted to looking out for a pleasure accessory either for enhancement or for fulfilment.
Fact is, alternate bedroom behaviour is now fast replacing traditional acts as Indians get more sexually experimentative. Needless to say, this fuels an unfulfilled desire for newer stimuli, newer catalysts and newer ways of getting intimate, either with a partner or with one’s own body. LoveDepot.com addresses this gap that is yawning in the market.
Commenting on the launch, TTK Healthcare head of marketing Vishal Vyas said, “LoveDepot is built on one of the cornerstones of sexual wellness that we often let fall between the cracks: pleasure. It is born out of a firm conviction: that everyone deserves to seek and conquer the peaks of sexual fulfilment. It is structured to provide the shopper – regardless of gender identity or sexual preference – an empowering experience, offering both choice and control. And it’s driven by a single-minded purpose – to close the pleasure deficit in the market.”
Interestingly, LoveDepot has also roped in renowned content creator and wellness expert Dr. Tanaya Narendra, aka @dr_cuterus on social media, to co-create educational content for the consumer.
Dr. Tanaya commented, “It is important that we leave shame behind and empower people with what they necessarily have to know about their sexual needs. I am quite excited to be partnering with LoveDepot, which will not merely be a product marketplace but will also be a platform that makes all visitors aware of their entitlement to pleasure, and at the same time, educates them on the role of innovative and contemporary pleasure-providing products.”

Abhay Duggal joins JioStar as director of Hindi GEC ad sales
The streaming giant brings in a seasoned revenue hand as the battle for Hindi television advertising heats up
MUMBAI: Abhay Duggal has a new desk, and JioStar has a new weapon. The media and entertainment veteran has joined JioStar as director of entertainment ad sales for Hindi general entertainment channels, adding 17 years of hard-won revenue experience to one of India’s most powerful broadcasting operations.
Duggal is no stranger to big portfolios or bruising markets. Before joining JioStar, he spent a brief stint at Republic World as deputy general manager and north regional head for ad sales. Before that, he put in three years at Enterr10 Television, where he ran the north region for Dangal TV and Dangal 2, two of India’s leading free-to-air Hindi channels. The north alone accounted for more than 50 per cent of total channel revenue on his watch, a number that tends to get attention in any sales meeting.
His longest stint was at Zee Entertainment Enterprises, where he spent over six years rising to associate director of sales. There he commanded the Hindi movies cluster across seven channels, owned more than half of north India’s revenue across flagship properties including Zee TV and &TV, and closed marquee sponsorships across the Indian Premier League, Zee Rishtey Awards and Dance India Dance. He also handled monetisation for the English movies and entertainment cluster and the global news channel WION, a portfolio that would stretch most sales teams twice his size.
Earlier in his career Duggal closed what was then a Rs 3 crore single deal at Reliance Broadcast Network, one of the largest in Indian radio at the time, before that he helped launch and monetise JAINHITS, India’s first HITS-based cable and satellite platform.
His edge, by his own account, lies in marrying data and instinct: translating audience trends, inventory signals and client demands into long-term partnerships built on cost-per-rating-point discipline rather than short-term deal chasing. In a media landscape being reshaped by streaming, fragmented attention and AI-driven advertising, that kind of rigour is increasingly rare and increasingly valuable.
JioStar, which blends the scale of Reliance’s Jio platform with the content firepower of Star, is doubling down on its advertising business at precisely the moment the Hindi GEC market is getting more competitive. Bringing in someone who has spent nearly two decades doing exactly this, across some of India’s most watched channels, is a pointed statement of intent. Duggal has spent his career turning audiences into revenue. JioStar is clearly betting he can do it again, and bigger.
