Soulcial strategy! Florasoul hands digital glow-up to Team Pumpkin
MUMBAI: In the world of skincare, Florasoul is all about the soul and now it’s ready to bring that essence online with a touch of mindful marketing. The luxury Ayurvedic skincare brand has handed over its social media mandate to integrated marketing agency Team Pumpkin, aiming to craft a digital presence that soothes, nourishes, and scrolls well.
Rooted in ancient Ayurvedic wisdom but attuned to modern wellness sensibilities, Florasoul is looking to establish itself as more than just a beauty label. It’s positioning itself as a lifestyle philosophy, one where skincare is less routine and more ritual. With Team Pumpkin’s Bangalore office now taking the lead, the brand is looking to translate this quiet confidence into a scroll-stopping social experience.
“At FloraSoul, our essence lies in soulful beauty, where purity, purpose, and presence meet. We needed a digital partner that could capture this essence without noise. Team Pumpkin’s thoughtful approach and creative strength felt aligned from the start,” says Florasoul founder Garima Ahuja.
From curating serene content to scripting campaigns steeped in Ayurvedic calm, the agency’s mandate covers the entire digital ecosystem storytelling, strategy, and community building included. For Team Pumpkin, it’s a unique opportunity to flex its creative muscles in a space that demands sensitivity over sizzle.
Team Pumpkin co-founder Swati Nathani added, “FloraSoul isn’t just a skincare brand. It’s about making a conscious lifestyle choice for a soulful experience. The opportunity to shape a digital narrative rooted in Ayurveda, yet relevant to today’s audience, is incredibly exciting for us.”
Together, the two teams hope to create a content presence as nourishing as the products themselves, a feed that doesn’t just look pretty but feels like a deep breath.
In a digital space cluttered with claims and chaos, FloraSoul’s quiet luxury is set to stand out not by shouting louder, but by whispering wisdom in every post. And with Team Pumpkin in the mix, this might just be the beginning of a beautifully balanced online journey.

Prime Video to stream Tamil thriller Exam from May 15
Seven-episode series from National Award-winner A. Sarkunam streams in India and 240-plus countries
MUMBAI: Prime Video announced on April 27th that Exam, a taut seven-episode suspense drama set against the crucible of high-stakes competitive testing, will premiere on May 15th in India and across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Written and directed by A. Sarkunam, a National Award-winner, the series is produced under the Wallwatcher Films banner by the creative duo Pushkar and Gayatri, who have previously delivered Suzhal: The Vortex (both seasons) and Vadhandhi: The Fable of Velonie for the platform. Dushara Vijayan and Aditi Balan lead the cast, with Abbas in a pivotal role.
The show will stream in Tamil with dubbed versions in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada, and subtitles in 15 languages, including English, a distribution sweep that underscores Prime Video’s push to globalise Indian regional content.
Nikhil Madhok, director and head of originals at Prime Video India, framed the series as both timely and commercially astute. “Exam is a very timely and relevant story that captures the emotional intensity of competitive exams and masterfully transforms it into a thrilling high-stakes drama,” he said. “We believe it is a story that will resonate deeply with millions.” Madhok noted that it was a privilege to once again collaborate with Pushkar and Gayatri following the success of Suzhal and Vadhandhi.
For Pushkar and Gayatri, the series is as much a moral reckoning as a thriller. “With Exam, we wanted to dig into ambition, injustice, and those moral crossroads that people face when pushed to the edge,” the creative producers said. “At the heart of this story is a young woman who refuses to remain powerless. Her journey is not about glamorising defiance, but about exploring the emotional and ethical cost of standing up to a system stacked against her.” They described Prime Video as “an incredible collaborator” and “the perfect home” to bring the series to global audiences.
Wallwatcher Films, which Pushkar and Gayatri founded and run, has been on a productive streak with the platform. Beyond Exam, the company is also readying Vadhandhi Season 2 for Prime Video, making the duo one of the platform’s most active regional creative partners.
The real exam, it seems, is for Prime Video itself: can a Tamil drama about systemic injustice and a young woman’s defiance crack audiences from Chennai to Chicago? If Pushkar and Gayatri’s track record is anything to go by, the answer is likely yes, and the results will be out on May 15th.
