Press Release - Manforce Condoms unleashes new fantasy benchmarks with the on boarding of the latest AI brand ambassador

 

Manforce Condoms unleashes new fantasy benchmarks with the on boarding of the latest AI brand ambassador

The brand introduces Myra Kapoor, an AI-generated model, as the new face of Manforce Condoms to encourage unabashed conversation around sexual fantasies and desires with partners

 

National, October 10, 2025: Manforce Condoms, India’s No.1 Brand leading sexual wellness brand under Mankind Pharma, enters into a game-changing collaboration with the on boarding of AI model Myra Kapoor as its new brand ambassador. As part of the plan, it has announced the launch of its revolutionary television commercial introducing Myra, an AI-powered brand character that represents a paradigm shift in brand communication.

 

The video has been launched with the purpose of encouraging conversations around intimacy without any hesitation. It takes a refreshing approach with the AI model that portrays various evocative emotions like desire, passion, love, infatuation, and temptation that cater to the art of seduction for the target audience.

 

The creation of Myra stems from an extensive brand case study conducted at a prestigious management institute of India. This academic foundation provided crucial insights that led to the conceptualization of an AI character as the brand's new face, offering unprecedented creative possibilities for seasonal campaigns like the current monsoon theme.

 

The entire AI model has been conceptualized and executed by Grapes Worldwide, which pushes the boundaries when it comes to bringing about the confluence of innovation and creativity with precision. Delving into its advanced technological feats, the agency devised the virtual figure that seemed relatable and exhibited human behaviour, seamlessly depicting the emotions of the masses.

 

On the announcement, Mr. Rajeev Juneja, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Mankind Pharma stated, “We are thrilled to pioneer this exciting frontier in brand communication with Myra’s introduction. At Mankind Pharma, we have always embraced innovation that strengthens our connection with consumers, and AI technology opens up incredible opportunities for creative storytelling. Myra embodies our commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring new avenues of engagement. With an AI character, we have limitless creative possibilities, where campaigns can be more dynamic, responsive, and seamlessly aligned with our brand vision. This monsoon campaign marks just the beginning of what we see as a transformative journey in Manforce’s communication.”

 

To introduce Myra to the market, Manforce orchestrated an innovative digital competition titled "India's Most Desirable" in strategic partnership with FilterCopy. The competition saw Myra competing against real human participants, with the AI character ultimately winning through online public voting, a testament to the character's immediate appeal and market acceptance.

 

With this campaign, Manforce reinforces its commitment to innovation and embraces AI and technology in brand communication, setting new benchmarks for the industry. This unique approach reflects the evolving landscape of consumer preferences and the growing acceptance of AI-driven personalities in the mainstream marketing landscape in India.

 

Elaborating on the initiative, Shradha Agarwal, Co-founder and Global CEO of Grapes Worldwide said, “Working with Manforce Condoms for devising Myra was a breakthrough experience for us. Specializing in curating advanced technology, the AI model goes far beyond the ambit of automation to demonstrate human traits. It is in resonance with the vision of the brand, heralding the way forward for more meaningful communication with the audience.”

A multi-disciplinary festival celebrating stories of and from the Himalayas

 

4th - 10th December 2025

Travancore Palace, New Delhi

·       Tickets to go live at BookMyShow.com on 1st week of October

 

Delhi, October 07, 2025: Royal Enfield Social Mission is proud to announce the return of Journeying Across the Himalayas, its annual multidisciplinary festival dedicated to celebrating and safeguarding the cultural and natural heritage of Royal Enfield’s spiritual home — the Himalayas. The second edition will be held from 4–10 December 2025 at Travancore Palace, New Delhi, bringing together a week-long immersion of exhibitions, performances, dialogues, workshops, culinary journeys, and community-led experiences.

 

This year’s theme, “Ours to Tell” explores the Himalayas not just as a landscape but as a living archive of stories, identities, and traditions as they are reclaimed, reinterpreted, and transmitted by those who call these mountains ‘home’. Through curatorial collaborations with Himalayan communities, the festival aims to spotlight narratives at the intersections of Himalayan identity and community, indigenous knowledge systems, language and oral traditions, circularity and conservation, visual arts and material culture, culinary heritage, and performing arts.

 

Envisioned as an annual tradition of sustainable exploration of the Himalayas, the festival is both a cultural celebration and a road map to traversing the Himalayas responsibly. It is designed to amplify the voices of Himalayan youth and communities, ensuring their heritage is not only safeguarded but reimagined for generations to come.

 

“We made a strong beginning with our debut edition last year. Encouraged by the audience’s response, we are excited to announce the second edition of our festival, Journeying Across The Himalayas. Building on that experience, and with the  curatorial theme 'Ours to Tell', this year we bring together more communities-their voices, and their stories—at the intersection of culture, craft, and collaboration. Over eight days, the festival will serve as a living network of artisans, entrepreneurs, collaborators, mentors, and supporters. Beyond celebrating Royal Enfield’s deep-rooted connection with the Himalayas, it reflects our long-term commitment to partner with 100 Himalayan communities.", says Bidisha Dey, Executive Director of Eicher Group Foundation, the CSR arm of Royal Enfield.

The Himalayan Knot: A Journey Through Ladakhi Pashmina 

An immersive, multi-sensory exhibition, The Himalayan Knot: A Journey Through Ladakhi Pashmina unravels the story of one of the world's rarest and most revered fibres through an evocative journey from fibre to fabric. Documented by acclaimed filmmaker Avani Rai and photographer Manou, the exhibition traces the origins, craftsmanship, and evolving narratives surrounding Ladakhi Pashmina - from the pastoral life of the Changpa nomads to contemporary interpretations in fashion and sustainability. The exhibit connects past and present, tradition and design, people and product through a special apparel collection by Suket Dhir, merging Ladakhi Pashmina with Jamdani weaving techniques from West Bengal, celebrating the rich textile heritage of both regions. 

 

Echoes of the East by Julie Kagti

The exhibition centres the intangible cultural heritage of Northeast India, with a special focus on its Himalayan communities. Through three interwoven zones, the exhibition invites visitors to engage with traditions that are often unheard, untranscribed, or unseen, yet remain deeply alive in memory, labour, and everyday rhythms.

 

Hub of Many Heart(h)s by Prachi Joshi

At the centre of the festival, The Himalayan Hub - a collective learning center for climate resilience, will take shape as a constellation of pavilions, each a hearth for dialogue, experimentation, and exchange. Bringing together projects on conservation, responsible tourism, social enterprise, and cultural safeguarding, the Hub becomes a living space where multiple journeys meet and new ones begin.

A representation of ‘Compassion’, monks from Namgyal Monastery, Dharamsala, will curate a live Sand Mandala, offering an immersive glimpse into the richness of the Tibetan Mandala tradition while preserving its essence and cultural depth. A sacred practice symbolising impermanence, the Sand Mandala is created only by monks with special knowledge and skill. Traditionally kept within the monastery, it began to be shared publicly only on the advice of His Holiness, underscoring its profound spiritual significance.

 

An Exhibit by FICA (The Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art)

The cohort of fellows from the Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art will present creative interpretations of the Himalayas through an immersive exhibition showcasing cross-disciplinary explorations of regional knowledge, alternate ecologies, and diverse cultural practices.

With food stations serving authentic Himalayan dishes passed down through generations, one can enjoy the culinary experiences and celebrate food as a living archive, connecting visitors to the flavors and traditions of Himalayan communities.

Spotlight sessions will offer informal spaces for personal stories and lived experiences, while closed-door roundtables will drive solutions for collective action on climate, tourism, and circularity. 

 

Workshops

Hands-on learning is central to the festival experience, with workshops designed  to engage participants of all ages. From food, art and culture, to storytelling circles and craft-making with natural and recycled materials, these interactive sessions will embed lessons of sustainability and imagination for a wider audience across age groups.

Additionally, the festival will host DIFF On the Road—a year-round initiative by Dharamshala International Film Festival (DIFF).

Bigsmall.in - for unique gifting options

When I was searching for a website to select some unique gifts, to be given to my office colleagues, I stumbled upon

bigsmall

The website captured my attention instantly with the wider selection of gifts. They were not only novel but affordable as well. The best part is these gifts comes neatly packed and you get to track your order as soon as the order is placed.

The site offers gifts specifically for men, women apart from other options like best sellers, originals and for corporates as well. 

What did I order?

I ordered a unique product which is a key chain cum mobile charger. It was cute, sturdy and most importantly functional. When I gifted this, my colleague was really happy. Almost my entire office was intrigued by the design and functionality. My colleague had immediately put up his two wheeler keys on this.

Don’t you agree with me that the key chain looked cute? Charging is easy. It has C Type usb pin for input and output and comes with a charging cable. 

The next one I ordered was a mobile handheld device - MagSafe Camera Grip with Bluetooth shutter. The functionality is very simple. Place your mobile on the vertical or horizontal direction over the magnetic centre part. Your mobile gets attached to it. There is a on/off button. Switch it on. Turn on the Bluetooth on your mobile. The device is paired. That is it. This product again is a sturdy one and is travel friendly. You can carry it easily. This functions with the help of single cell (similar to the ones used in the watches but a bigger size). So don’t check for usb port to charge it. Take a look at the product.

My colleague who is a travel buff loved it and grabbed it immediately. 

I have earmarked few other products on this sure and this includes a miniature Bluetooth gramophone with  rotating disk. It looks really cute. There are lots and lots of products to choose from. Since I might ended up emptying my wallet, I resisted my temptation and had closed the site. But like I had mentioned, if I get any occasion be it Birthday, Wedding, Promotion or anything else, you know where I would head to. 

They offer multiple payment options like debit cards, credit cards, upi and even cash on delivery.

Check the sure today to see what you would like to grab.
