WHISKAS Brand Teams Up with Sanya Malhotra to Spotlight WHISKAS Wet Cat Food

The WHISKAS Wet Cat Food campaign works to resolve mealtime dilemmas, ensuring both pets and owners can enjoy pleasant mealtime experiences. Set in a lively kitchen filled with culinary ambition, the digital film follows Sanya Malhotra as she auditions a hopeful chef trying to impress her and more importantly, her discerning cat. From Nawabi Fish Rice to classic Khichdi, dish after dish is met with a firm “Rejected!” from Sanya. It’s only when the chef realizes who the real boss is that he presents a game-changing option – WHISKAS Wet Cat Food. As the cat eagerly tucks in, the film humorously drives home a simple truth: even fussy cats prefer WHISKAS Wet Cat Food¹.

Sanya Malhotra isn’t just the face of the campaign; shes also a passionate and experienced cat parent. Known for sharing candid moments with her beloved cat on social media, Sanya brings authenticity and warmth to the campaign. Her real-life experience as a pet parent, dealing with mealtime fussiness, makes her the perfect voice for the WHISKAS Brand message of taste, trust, and nutrition.

Sanya Malhotra shares her thoughts on the campaign, “As a cat parent, I understand how challenging mealtimes can be. The cat in the film is expressive and very particular, just like my cat at home. WHISKAS Wet Cat Foodhas been a game-changer when it comes to mealtimes. She clearly loves it, and I love that it’s nutritious and easy. This campaign is personal because it mirrors our real-life experience.“

Ayesha Huda, Chief Marketing Officer, Mars Pet Nutrition India, added, “India remains one of the worlds lowest pet food adoption markets, with less than 10% of cat parents opting for scientifically formulated pet food². This is concerning because cats have specific dietary requirements that typically cannot be met by homemade food or generic diets. Through our latest digital film featuring Sanya Malhotra, we’ve taken a relatable yet impactful route to highlight just how discerning cats can be when it comes to food and underscoring the importance of healthy, wholesome and delicious meals for our beloved pets.”

Backed by science and loved for its taste, WHISKAS Wet Cat Food is tailored to meet the specific dietary needs of cats, who require nutrition that typical homemade or generic diets often fails to provide. Each pouch offers 100% complete and balanced nutrition, made with real meat, supports hydration through the moisture in gravy, and is available in a variety of flavours like Chicken and Tuna.

India is experiencing a significant surge in cat ownership,² with over 70% of kitten owners being first-time pet parents. However, despite this increase, India remains one of the lowest markets globally when it comes to meeting the nutritional requirements of their pets. Crafted to satisfy the selective appetites of cats, WHISKAS Wet Cat Food offers a winning combination of delicious flavours and perfectly portioned, scientifically designed meals for optimal nutrition.

Rishit Jhunjhunwala, Truecaller’s CEO, said, “I am pleased to see that more and more users see the value of becoming premium users. In the last couple of years we have improved and simplified our premium offering significantly. Our premium users today get many valuable products like our AI-Assistant, advanced spam blocking opportunities and fraud insurance, to mention a few. From January, our premium users on iOS now also get the Live Caller ID solution. Our strategy on iOS and optimization of the product and conversion, has shown a promising trend. Our family package, where you can include up to four more family members in the premium package and get a discounted price, has also seen encouraging growth.”

Fredrik Kjell, Truecaller’s COO, said “We will continue to elevate the subscription offering by adding even better services and providing more tools to improve our users communication experience. The achieved milestones are definitely a step in the right direction but our ambitions go well beyond having 3 million subscribers.

Mahina, a purpose-driven period care brand, announced the release of a groundbreaking comprehensive report on the World Menstrual Day titled “Beyond Blood: The Unseen Burden of Every Cycle.” With this report, the brand shifts focus to a new frontier – the invisible labour menstruators face every cycle.

Drawn from the lived experiences of over 1,000 menstruators across eight major cities, aged between 18-45 years, the report unveils a rarely measured truth known to women: Every cycle brings not just blood but an unspoken mental load carried in silence. The emotional strain, disrupted routines, and the pressure to “push through” without complaint- a critical yet long-ignored dimension of menstrual health has been finally acknowledged through the findings of this report.

Beyond Blood: Mahina Launches India’s First Report on the Invisible Mental Load of Menstruation

While conversations around menstruation have long focused on rural access, hygiene, and age-old taboos, Mahina’s new report shifts the spotlight to an often-ignored reality: the urban menstruator. It uncovers critical gaps in awareness, product design, and support-bringing to light the invisible mental load that comes with managing a period every month, for 30 to 40 years of a woman’s life.

Speaking about the report Natasha Jamal, Founder of Mahina said,“For too long, the mental load of menstruation has been normalised and ignored. This report is Mahina’s way of saying: we see it, we measure it, and we’re done accepting silence as the standard. We’ve always talked about periods in terms of blood. But what no one talks about is everything else, the planning, the pretending, the emotional weight. With this report, we wanted to name that invisible labour and finally give it the recognition it deserves.”

To view the full report, click here; Summary of the report given below:

Report Summary

What Every Period Truly Demands

Menstruation is more than a biological function-it’s a recurring experience that demands ongoing adjustments. Yet, much of this burden remains unseen, unheard, and unacknowledged.

• 62% of menstruators reported masking their period symptoms to appear ‘normal’ in professional and social settings.

• 73% said they are impacted by hormonal and emotional changes during their period but feel compelled to underplay

• Only 3% of menstruators report making no changes during their cycle. The remaining 97% adjust and adapt their lives every month to accommodate menstrual symptoms-physically, emotionally, or logistically. Nearly 3 in 4 women experience a week of routine disruption and hidden labor every month.
  ​

The First Period Comes with No Manual

A generational influence often shapes how young women navigate their menstrual cycles, yet remains largely unspoken – despite more open conversations today, the first period is still marked by anxiety, confusion, and frustration.

• 76% of menstruators felt the emotional weight of their periods at 8-14, on the onset of their 1st cycle

• While 73% were introduced to menstruation by their mothers, 4 in 5 still felt unprepared for their first period.

• Half of menstruators say they felt excluded by family during their periods, and 2 in 3 say men expect them to manage it quietly.

The Physical and Mental Load
The mental load shapes how menstruators speak, sit, sleep, and move.

• Leak anxiety is a major contributor to menstrual stress: 72% use extra protection during their period, yet 67% still experience leaks.

• 38% wake up in the middle of the night to check or change menstrual products.

• Many resort to layering or using multiple products simultaneously.

• Emotionally, 64% feel “unlike themselves“during PMS, and 58% dread their periods due to unpredictability.

• Among women aged 25-30, 2 in 3 experience heightened daytime anxiety about leaks

• Amongst this 3 in 5 sit or move cautiously in public during their periods.

• Remarkably, 1 in 4 respondents said they would prefer to skip their period entirely, highlighting how burdensome and disruptive the experience can be.

How Modern Menstruators Have Adapted
What menstruators want isn’t more-it’s getting the basics right.

• 56% prioritize comfort and flexibility as their most urgent needs, followed by leak-proof protection and skin-friendly materials.

• In the absence of institutional support, menstruators are creating their own systems of care: 74% carry period products not only for themselves but also for friends, colleagues, and even strangers-a quiet but powerful culture of mutual support.

• Additionally, 1 in 3 use digital tools like cycle trackers and mental wellness apps to better manage their periods.
  ​

Additionally, an interesting insight from the report also revealed a complex duality in society today: while 1 in 2 respondents believe period pain is real, yet underestimated and 53% support open conversations, deep-rooted biases continue to persist. More than half still view period blood as impure; 55% think periods should last exactly five days; and 71% believe delaying a period with medication is harmful. These conflicting attitudes-often held by the same individuals-show there is no singular narrative, only recurring patterns of silence and stigma. It is in this quiet tension between progress and taboo that the real story of menstruation unfolds.

In summary, the report highlights key gaps that must be addressed to raise awareness and drive a period revolution – one that challenges taboos, demands safer and more inclusive products, and reclaims the narrative around menstruation. The goal isn’t just to create products that do the job, but to innovate with purpose and ease the mental and emotional burden that menstruators carry every month

Mahina is deeply committed to leading this change, not just by innovating smarter, more supportive period care but by actively working to reduce the mental load menstruators face. Through this report, Mahina hopes to ignite a much-needed conversation around dignity, design, and the future of rural well-being.

Made in India and rigorously tested, Mahina is the country’s first brand offering bonded, leak-proof, absorbent period underwear, setting a new standard in menstrual care with a focus on comfort, performance, and sustainability. Aimed at transforming the period experience, Mahina provides meticulously engineered, reusable, and planet-friendly products personalized for every flow.

Driven by the deep belief in education as a powerful force for change, Dr. Roy C.J., the visionary behind the leading builder, Confident Group, awarded Rs. 1 crore in educational scholarships to 201 deserving school students across Kerala and Karnataka. The initiative, a cornerstone of his philanthropic vision, was celebrated at a ceremony where Dr. Roy C.J emphasized that education is not just a tool for individual growth but the foundation of a stronger nation.

“This scholarship isn’t a corporate gesture, it’s deeply personal. I strongly believe that no child with potential should ever be limited by their circumstances. This conviction is why we have chosen to allocate our family funds to a cause like this,” said Dr. Roy C.J., Founder and Chairman of Confident Group while handing over the cheque to students. “It reflects my family’s belief that when we invest in a child’s potential, we invest in the future of our society,” he added. His dedication extends beyond education, with impactful interventions in healthcare, women’s empowerment, and support for the differently-abled.

A firm advocate for equitable opportunities, Dr. Roy C. J. has long championed education as a catalyst for change. The scholarship program aimed to support students studying in 8th to 10th standard at government-recognized schools. Each selected student received a scholarship of up to Rs. 50,000, or their actual school fees. Eligibility for the scholarship was determined by a combined annual parental income below Rs. 5 lakhs, coupled with the student achieving over 80% in their previous academic years final examination. Furthermore, to extend support to multiple deserving individuals within a single household, a maximum of two children per family were eligible, contingent upon all specified conditions being met.

Looking ahead, Dr. Roy C.J. announced an ambitious expansion of the program, aiming to support 300 students in 2026.

But just as choosing the right programme is important, selecting the right institution is an equally significant decision.

Owning a motorcycle comes with responsibilities, and having third-party bike insurance is among them. Indian law requires two-wheeler third-party insurance to protect against damages to others in an accident. Riding without it could lead to legal penalties, financial burdens, or even suspension of your license.

Benefits of Third-Party Bike Insurance

The two-wheeler third-party insurance gives peace of mind and ensures law compliance. With online third-party insurance for two-wheeler riders, securing the coverage takes more or less a few minutes. Knowing the consequences of riding without these two-wheeler third-party insurance policies will enable you to make a well-informed decision.

Consequences of Not Having Third-Party Bike Insurance
Biking without third-party bike insurance can cause severe legal and financial implications. Here is what you risk by not having third-party insurance for bike owners:

Legal Penalties for Uninsured Riding
Indian law requires all two-wheeler riders to insure themselves against third-party liability. Riding without one can attract fines, prison sentences, and license suspensions. The Motor Vehicles Act of 1988 prescribes a fine of ₹2,000 for first-time offenders and ₹4,000 for repeated offenders.

In some extreme cases, authorities can suspend your driving license or seize your vehicle. Avoid these unwanted run-ins with the law by getting third-party two-wheeler insurance to comply with legal requirements.

Financial Burden in Case of Accidents
Accidents can be costly, especially regarding efficacious compensation, such as when others stand injured, or property damage occurs. In the absence of third-party motorcycle insurance, you will have to pay the medical fees as well as repair costs.

Depending on the severity of the accident, expenses can quickly escalate, causing financial distress. Third-party insurance two-wheeler policies ensure that these liabilities do not fall on you. Taking out proper coverage will prevent financial strain.

Legal Complications in Accidents
If youre an uninsured rider involved in an accident, court cases can be filed against you by a third party seeking compensation. You could be stuck in lengthy court battles without valid third-party bike insurance. This creates substantial financial strain and leaves you with a legal standpoint.

The court could rule that the victim should be compensated, leaving you liable for a hefty payment. Compliance with the demands of third-party insurance legally requires one to avoid such unfortunate events.

Loss of No Claim Bonus (NCB) Benefits
Failing to renew your two-wheeler third-party insurance policy on time means you will lose out on any accrued NCB benefits. NCB discounts insurance premiums for every claim-free year so that you can save on the premiums. Having the NCB benefit cancelled poses a problem for other policies because the premium will shoot up for future policies.

By renewing your two-wheeler third-party insurance on time online, you can be assured of continuous coverage while saving big time. Staying insured also prevents one from experiencing any kind of financial loss.

How Does Third-Party Insurance Protect You
Third-party bike insurance is recommended for every two-wheeler owner in India. It is, therefore, a legal requirement to secure against financial liabilities and damages caused by one another. Heres how a bike insurance policy safeguards you:

Legal Compliance
According to the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988, bike owners must have third-party insurance. Failure to do so may result in severe fines, imprisonment, or even suspension of the riders license. Having a valid policy allows the rider to adhere to regulations and avoid any unnecessary legal troubles in the event of routine checks.

Coverage for Third-Party Injuries or Death
In some cases, accidents can lead to injuries or deaths of pedestrians or other motorists. In such cases, third-party insurance two-wheeler policies cover the medical expenses of the affected party while providing compensation. This ensures that one does not have to pay an enormous amount from his pocket.

Financial Security Against Lawsuits
