    Honasa ropes in Yatish Bhargava as chief business officer to boost growth playbook

    MUMBAI: Not every day does a personal care unicorn rope in an FMCG heavyweight to sharpen its business game—but when it does, the move smells as sweet as a bottle of onion hair oil going viral on Instagram.

    Honasa Consumer Limited, the parent company behind Mamaearth, The Derma Co., and Aqualogica, announced on 17 June 2025 the appointment of Yatish Bhargava as its new chief business officer (CBO). The decision signals a strategic gear shift for the fast-growing brand, as it seeks to scale both breadth and depth across general trade, modern trade, and online marketplaces.

    Bhargava steps into the role as a seasoned operator with over 17 years of experience. He brings P&L expertise and leadership acumen honed at some of India’s most influential consumer companies, including Flipkart and Hindustan Unilever. At Flipkart, he played a central role in category transformation and go-to-market strategies. At HUL, he led high-performing sales and growth teams across multiple verticals.

    His appointment takes effect immediately, with a full-time term. Honasa stated that Bhargava will be a designated senior management personnel (SMP) under SEBI compliance.

    In its regulatory filing with the NSE and BSE, Honasa underscored its intent to reinforce business scale, growth strategies, and sustainable momentum through Bhargava’s expertise. “Yatish has led category transformation, built scalable go-to-market strategies and driven sustained growth across diverse consumer businesses”, the company noted in its official statement.

    An alumnus of the Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow, Bhargava will be tasked with building on Honasa’s already expansive omnichannel approach while navigating the highly competitive D2C landscape.

    The announcement comes at a time when Honasa is increasingly eyeing market leadership across beauty and wellness categories, both online and offline. With Bhargava’s appointment, the company appears ready to play offence with stronger execution muscle and retail agility.

    The disclosure has been made available on Honasa’s official website.

  • Harleen Bhatti hops onto Honasa Consumer

    Harleen Bhatti hops onto Honasa Consumer

    MUMBAI: Harleen Bhatti has taken the reins as vice president of direct-to-consumer operations at Honasa Consumer Ltd, parent company of Mamaearth, stepping into the role this April after a nine-month stint at Wellbeing Nutrition.

    The digital marketing maven brings impressive credentials from India’s consumer tech landscape, having previously served three years at The Good Glamm Group, where she built and led a 25-member team across D2C functions that directly impacted more than 60 per cent of the group’s revenue.

    “My North Star metric is focused on achieving a target LTV:CAC ratio and ensuring a profitable recurring P&L,” Bhatti noted about her approach to digital growth—a philosophy that has served her well across stints at several high-profile consumer brands.

    Before joining The Good Glamm Group, Bhatti spearheaded retention marketing at Lenskart.com, where she claimed to have generated a return on investment of 4x from customer relationship management channels. Her earlier career included roles at Cure.Fit’s Eat.fit division and Capillary Technologies.

    Bhatti’s appointment comes at a crucial time for Honasa, which has been expanding its brand portfolio beyond its flagship Mamaearth line. Her extensive experience in performance marketing, customer acquisition and retention strategies could prove vital as the company looks to strengthen its direct-to-consumer operations in an increasingly competitive beauty and personal care market.

    The digital growth specialist cut her teeth in strategy consulting at PricewaterhouseCoopers and investment banking at Copal Amba before finding her niche in consumer tech marketing. With her track record of driving profitability through data-driven customer engagement strategies, Honasa appears to be betting on Bhatti to help cash in on India’s booming D2C revolution

  • Sunscreen spat sees HUL and Mamaearth kiss and make up, with a few tweaks

    Sunscreen spat sees HUL and Mamaearth kiss and make up, with a few tweaks

    MUMBAI: The beauty world’s latest dust-up has settled, with Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) and Honasa Consumer, the brains behind Mamaearth, calling a truce after a courtroom rumble. It all kicked off when Lakmé, HUL’s flagship beauty brand, launched a “sun superiority campaign” that rather pointedly suggested some “online bestsellers” were fibbing about their SPF claims. Honasa, whose Derma Co. brand sports a rather distinctive orange, felt a tad singed, accusing Lakmé of throwing shade on their packaging and claims.

    Honasa co-founder Ghazal Alagh  took to LinkedIn with a saucy post, welcoming Lakmé to the “in-vivo tested SPF 50 club,” a move that, the Bombay High Court suggested, might have been a tad disparaging itself. HUL, not one to take such cheek lying down, hit back, claiming their tests showed some rivals were, shall we say, economising on the truth.

    But the Delhi high court, like a stern headmaster, stepped in and told both parties to play nicely. Lakmé was ordered to tweak its ad, swapping out “online bestseller” for the more vague “some sellers” and changing the offending orange to a demure light yellow. Honasa, in turn, agreed to scrub their social media jibes.

     HUL maintained that their campaign was all about keeping consumers safe from those who might be stretching the truth about SPF.

    Honasa, perhaps with a sigh of relief, agreed to take down their digital digs. Both parties also promised to remove their physical hoardings, which were apparently giving each other the evil eye, within 48 hours.
    This skirmish highlights the fiercely competitive nature of India’s Rs 2,000 crore sun care market, where brands are fighting tooth and nail for a slice of the pie. With consumer understanding of SPF still patchy, there’s plenty of room for both innovation and, it seems, a bit of the old marketing mischief.

  • Mamaearth unveils new mosquito repellent campaign with Shilpa Shetty

    Mamaearth unveils new mosquito repellent campaign with Shilpa Shetty

    MUMBAI: Mamaearth, has launched a new campaign for its mosquito repellents, featuring cinema actress and brand ambassador Shilpa Shetty Kundra. The campaign underscores the importance of natural, toxin-free protection for children against mosquitoes, a major concern for parents.

    The campaign film, conceptualised by Steve Priya, captures a touching moment between a mother and child, portraying the everyday struggle of safeguarding little ones from mosquito bites. Showcasing Mamaearth’s mosquito repellent range, enriched with citronella oil, eucalyptus oil, and peppermint oil, the film highlights its 12-hour protection—a must-have for parents prioritising their child’s well-being.

    Shilpa, sharing her thoughts on the campaign, said, “As a mother, my children’s well-being is always my biggest priority. I have always been cautious about the products I use, ensuring they are free from harmful chemicals and completely safe. Mosquito bites are a constant worry, and it’s reassuring to have a natural, toxin-free solution like Mamaearth’s mosquito repellents. This campaign is close to my heart because it empowers parents with a safe and effective way to protect their little ones while allowing them to explore the world worry-free.”

    Honasa Consumer Ltd. EVP & chief marketing officer Anuja Mishra, added, “At Mamaearth, we recognise that mosquito protection is a major concern for parents, as it directly impacts their child’s health and well-being. With our mosquito repellent patches, we are not just offering a product but solving a larger problem by providing parents with a quick, easy, safe, and effective solution they can trust. Formulated with natural ingredients, our repellents ensure long-lasting protection while being gentle on delicate skin. Through this campaign, we aim to reinforce our commitment to baby-safe care by not only offering toxin-free products but also raising awareness about the importance of choosing natural solutions. Partnering with Shilpa, a mother who shares our philosophy, allows us to authentically connect with parents and empower them with a reliable way to protect their little ones.”

    Steve Priya chief creative officer Priya Pardiwalla commented, “Every evening, parents witness a familiar scene – children by the door, shoes on, eyes sparkling, hearts racing to run out and play. But outside, something else is waiting too. Mosquitoes. This quiet tug-of-war between joy and worry sparked the heart of our film. Because no parent should have to choose between protection and peace of mind. With Mamaearth mosquito repellents, parents have a way to guard playtime with 12-hour protection, made from nature, free from toxins. So children don’t have to wait to be children. Not even for a moment.”

    Edited Excerpt

    On the Korra Worldwide Advertising founding and the inspiration behind its inception

    Korra Worldwide Advertising was founded in 2016. The inspiration behind Korra’s establishment was to provide a fresh perspective to brands, free from constraints and baggage. Korra was founded at a time when organizations were trying to fit themselves into rigid molds constrained by the medium they operated in. The name “Korra,” derived from the colloquial term “Korra Kagaz,” signifies a blank slate or “tabula rasa,” where the agency aims to write a new story of success with its clients.

    On the recent elevation from COO to CEO envision your leadership contributing to the company’s expansion into global markets and its next phase of growth

    At Korra, our focus is razor-sharp: to drive tangible business outcomes for our clients, not just deliver services. We’re committed to pushing the boundaries of creativity, fostering strategic partnerships, and deepening our client relationships. This isn’t just about growth – it’s about setting new industry standards and becoming an indispensable force in our clients’ success stories.

    As CEO, I envision Korra as a global marketing organization by 2025, unbounded by medium and expertise. This promotion aligns with Korra’s recent business transformation, which includes the establishment of a Center of Excellence (COE) and the onboarding of a new leadership team focused on Revenue and Operations, Growth and Partnerships, Strategy and Service Excellence, and Analytics and Data Sciences.

    On the brief overview of Korra Worldwide Advertising and the range of services you offer

Our 360-degree approach ensures that we provide end-to-end solutions, helping brands achieve their marketing objectives through integrated and cohesive strategies.

    On setting Korra apart from other digital marketing agencies in India

Our innovative market strategies, medium-agnostic approach, and cutting-edge technologies revolutionize the way businesses connect with their target audience in the digital space. By addressing business problems directly, our scope of work becomes a by-product of our commitment to driving real results.

    On Korra’s planning for the next five years, and any new services or technologies you planning to introduce

    In the next five years, Korra aims to expand and become 500 members strong, achieving a bottom-line revenue of over Rs 150 crore and a top-line revenue of around Rs 500 crore. We plan to scale our operations with offices across Gurgaon, Mumbai, and Bangalore, and remotely service markets such as North America and Asia Pacific. We aim to gain more recognition and awards across Cannes, Abbys, Goafest, etc.

    We are also expanding our service verticals into physical branding and packaging, media, events, and experiences. Our investment in AI and machine learning will enhance our data analytics and customer insights capabilities, and we are exploring immersive technologies like AR and VR to create more engaging and interactive experiences for our clients. Our focus will also be on sustainable marketing practices, ensuring that our strategies not only drive growth but also promote social and environmental responsibility.

Our investment in technology and talent ensures that we remain agile and adaptive to market changes. Furthermore, our emphasis on continuous learning and development helps us maintain a leading position by fostering a culture of creativity and excellence.

    On the current trends in digital marketing that brands should be aware of, and Korra adapting to these trends to benefit its clients

    1) Quick Commerce goes big

       India’s quick commerce market has been growing year-on-year at 77 per cent to reach $2.8 billion in GMV (gross merchandise value). With instant deliveries of products and groceries in 10-20 minutes, the face of e-commerce and retail has changed. Companies like Zepto and Blinkit threaten traditional retail in ways big players never could.

    2) Content as advertising

       The focus is shifting towards voice and video-based discovery, interactive brand experiences, gamification, and a focused influencer strategy. The Indian influencer market is growing rapidly, with content creation becoming critical to appeal to the informed and educated digital audience.

    3) Personalisation, intimacy, and efficacy

       AI integration in content creation is evolving, with real-time signal-based creative versioning across text, image, and video to create meaningful personalized messages at scale. AI also powers media measurement and optimization, enhancing predictive capabilities and everyday workflows.

    Korra is adapting to these trends by:

    1    Marketing automation: Utilizing CRM and remarketing tools to furnish comprehensive and clear information, maintaining brand recall.

    2    Communicating product expertise: Innovating continuously to stay ahead of competition and meet evolving customer needs, maintaining consistent branding and messaging.

    3    Building resonance: Humanizing brands for audience connection, tailoring content to match target interests and behaviours.

    4    Driving advocacy the right way: Encouraging user-generated content to establish relatable connections, and partnering with influencers to build trust and visibility.

    On the brand that has made the best use of digital marketing in the past year and the strategies they used

    Campaigns:

    Harpic launched an app-based solution called the ‘Harpic Loocator’ to empower women with access to public toilets on the go. Their ‘#BeFreeToPee’ campaign highlighted the lifestyle compromises women make due to the lack of knowledge and accessibility of public toilets. This campaign was based on the insight of the underlying problem of finding public toilets in India. By addressing a significant social issue through innovative digital solutions, Harpic successfully initiated important conversations and engaged a broad audience.

    Barbie Movie executed one of the most extensive and innovative marketing campaigns with an estimated $150 million budget. The campaign transformed the movie into an experience that everyone wanted to be part of. From scented candles, merchandise, Xbox controllers, to an Airbnb Dreamhouse, the Barbie movie’s marketing strategy created massive excitement. The campaign also included influencer and brand collaborations across industries, Instagram filters, and various interactive elements, ensuring widespread engagement and anticipation for the movie’s release.

    Brand

    Zomato effectively utilized strategic social media engagement to connect with its audience on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Zomato’s Instagram account, for instance, is a vibrant gallery of enticing food images and user-generated content. Their posts feature everything from mouthwatering dishes to behind-the-scenes glimpses of restaurant kitchens, sparking conversations and attracting users. Additionally, Zomato’s personalized marketing campaigns, data-driven decision-making, innovative app features, strategic partnerships, and localized marketing strategies have all contributed to its success. By fostering a community of food enthusiasts and encouraging user-generated content, Zomato has built trust and credibility, making it a leader in the digital food service sector.

  • Mamaearth and Swiggy Instamart unite to #GoGreen this World Environment Day

    Mamaearth and Swiggy Instamart unite to #GoGreen this World Environment Day

    Mumbai: Mamaearth, a brand for toxin-free and natural personal care products, is thrilled to announce its partnership with Swiggy Instamart for a special sampling activity in Delhi NCR in observance of World Environment Day.

    Through this initiative, Mamaearth will include complimentary seed samples with close to 30,000 orders delivered through Swiggy Instamart on World Environment Day. This joint effort represents more than just a campaign; it stands as a testament to both brands’ commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. The brand believes in the power of small yet impactful actions, aiming to inspire new age consumers to begin their sustainability journey right from the comfort of their homes. Ultimately, it envisions a future where every home nurtures a thriving garden, every individual embraces an eco-conscious and sustainable lifestyle, and together, we co-create a world where harmony between humanity and nature prevails. Mamaearth chose to collaborate with Swiggy Instamart to leverage their extensive reach and engage a wide audience, promoting sustainability and eco-conscious living on a larger scale.

    The brand believes that goodness starts with the small choices we make every day, and this reflects in the choices the brand has made with its products and initiative like plant goodness where every order made on the website results in a tree being planted on behalf of the consumer. This initiative aims to promote afforestation, support farmer livelihoods, and foster sustainable coexistence with nature. The brand has been on a constant endeavour to serve consumers and society and make the world a better place.

    Honasa Consumer Ltd EVP and CMO Anuja Mishra commented, “At Mamaearth, we believe in the power of doing good to drive meaningful change. Through our partnership with Swiggy Instamart on World Environment Day, we are excited to engage with our consumers and encourage them to join us in our mission to plant goodness and make a difference for the planet. Beyond the immediate act of planting seeds, we aspire to ignite a sense of empowerment that these small activities can create for the collective good.”

    Talking about the initiative, Swiggy Instamart VP – category, growth & revenue Anirban Roy said- “We are excited to partner with Mamaearth on this meaningful initiative for World Environment Day. By including complimentary seed samples with 30,000 orders through Swiggy Instamart, we aim to inspire our consumers to take small but impactful steps towards sustainability. This collaboration not only highlights our shared commitment to environmental stewardship but also empowers our customers to contribute to a greener future right from their homes. Together, we believe we can make a significant difference in promoting eco-conscious lifestyles and nurturing a more sustainable planet.”

    The brand launched the plant goodness initiative with an ambition to plant 1M trees by 2025 and has already planted six lakh trees. In collaboration with an NGO and farmers for agroforestry, these trees have been planted in farmlands across Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. The saplings planted are fruit- bearing trees that help farmers increase income opportunities with the produce from these trees. The agroforestry approach doesn’t use the entire agricultural land, and the farmers continue to do their farming along with creating an orchard. This helps in creating carbon sinks in agricultural fields, thus moving towards the target of ‘Net Zero Carbon’. The brand has also created positive environmental changes, including the sequestration of 250,000 tons of carbon and the production of 500,000 tons of oxygen each year, while greening 3,500 acres of land.
