Tupperware rolls out ad campaign created by IBD India
MUMBAI: Tupperware, offering food storage products, preparation and serving items, has launched its latest ad campaign titled ‘She Can, You Can‘.
The campaign has been conceptualised and executed by IBD India- A Percept-Hakuhodo Company.
The campaign highlights the vision of Tupperware to ‘Enlighten, Educate and Empower‘ women across the globe wherein the exposure is sure to make them more confident of themselves. It intends to give a human touch to the brand Tupperware and inspire the modern women to create a path of their own.
To promote the brand, Tupperware has roped in Chhavi Rajawat (sarpanch at village Soda in Rajasthan) and Saloni
Malhotra (founder and CEO of first KPO in rural India- Desicrew Solutions), who brought about changes in the lives of the people
around them.
The company is taking a 360 degree marketing route. It will use TVCs, print advertisements, social media, BTL activities and on-ground activations like seminars and workshops for enlightening women across the country.
The ad film has been directed by Shoojit Sircar (director-Vicky Donor). It intends to engage the womenfolk with the ideology and help them take a step towards realising their dreams. It is here that by creating an emotional connect with the ‘success stories’ of Rajawat and Malhotra, the modern woman can relate to them which will act as a source of motivation for them.
Tupperware India MD Anshu Bagai said, “There are two aspects to brand Tupperware. On one hand, we have innovative kitchen solutions and for that you have seen a lot of creative campaigns from Tupperware over the last couple of years. These have clearly established Tupperware as a leader in this category.
However, the other part of Tupperware is Women Empowerment which is very deeply ingrained in the DNA of Tupperware. Being a direct selling organisation, we have an all-women sales force where a lot of them come from a very simple background but go on to achieve big things in life. They not only earn money which helps them to support their families, but the exposure they get when they join Tupperware makes them far more confident individuals. It is this that we are celebrating in this campaign.”
IBD Brands COO Jyotsna Chauhan averred, “For over 16 years Tupperware has been giving women in India a platform to exercise their economic freedom. With ‘She Can, You Can‘, the idea is take this philosophy to the next level by setting up role models who can be emulated and also to highlight how Tupperware has been a catalyst of this change.”
The idea was based on a simple insight: in the face of a challenge one always responds ‘If you can, why can‘t I?‘.
“This bravado is deeply ingrained in our psyche. We just had to bring together visual role models and connect them with the audience and let their words of inspiration do the rest. The idea was more of a dream at Tupperware which we let take its own path and chart its own course of action,” Chauhan said.

VML India lands two finalist spots at Cairns Hatchlings 2026
The Mumbai agency is back in Australia with two teams, a UN brief and 24 hours to impress
MUMBAI: VML India is heading to Australia again. The Mumbai-based creative agency has secured two finalist spots at the Cairns Hatchlings 2026 competition, one in the Audio category and one in Design, making it the only Indian agency to have reached the finals in both editions of the contest since its launch in 2025.
Four people will make the trip. Senior copywriter Shilpi Dey and senior art director Raj Thakkar will compete in Audio. Art directors Shabbir and Shruti Negi will go head-to-head with the world’s best in Design. The finals take place at the Cairns Convention Centre from 13th May, culminating in an awards ceremony on 15th May.
The work that got them there is worth examining. For the Audio category, Dey and Thakkar tackled a brief for LIVE LIKE MMAD with a campaign called Inner Voice, Interrupted. Using spatial audio techniques, the campaign recreates the overwhelming self-doubt that descends after a long workday, physically panning negative thoughts left and right before cutting the noise entirely to reveal a confident inner voice. Strategically targeted at commuters via Spotify during evening rush hours, the campaign reframes the hours after work as an opportunity for personal growth and charitable action.
For the Design category, Shabbir and Negi worked on a brief for Canteen’s Bandanna Day, a campaign highlighting how cancer pushes teenagers out of their own defining moments. Using a pixelated design language to create stark contrast between a blurred world of isolation and a focused world of connection, the campaign, titled The Flipside of Cancer, shows teenagers fading into the background of birthdays, skateparks and school proms. As a Canteen bandanna appears, the blur flips and the teenager snaps back into sharp focus.
Kalpesh Patankar, group chief creative officer of VML India, made no attempt to disguise his satisfaction. “We are immensely proud to see our teams consistently excel on the Cairns Hatchlings platform since its inception,” he said. “They have masterfully tackled challenging briefs across diverse categories, demonstrating both layered storytelling and a unique creative approach. This exceptional teamwork is truly inspiring.”
Dey and Thakkar, returning to the finals after last year’s run, were candid about the demands of the audio medium. “It’s one of the most demanding mediums, where we only have a few seconds to capture a listener’s world with sound alone, so absolute clarity is essential,” they said. “The true measure of creative work is its ability to create positive change, and our audio submission was made to help those who need it most while encouraging people to silence the inner voices that hold them back.”
Shabbir and Negi, competing in Design for the first time, described the experience as “a completely different beast.” “We see it as an opportunity to showcase our expertise, raise the bar, and challenge ourselves in new ways, while also learning from creative minds from across the globe,” they said.
In Australia, the four finalists will face a live 24-hour brief from the United Nations before presenting in a live pitch session. Twenty-four hours, one brief, one shot. VML India has been here before. It knows exactly what is at stake.
