BHIM App Encourages India to #AskHerAgain This Mother’s Day

Through the #AskHerAgain campaign, SoCheers brings alive BHIM’S Mother’s Day message celebrating meaningful interactions with mothers.

MUMBAI, India, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This Mother’s Day, BHIM App is encouraging people to look beyond predictable gifts and templated gratitude. Built around a deeply familiar cultural truth, where mothers almost always respond with ‘Nothing’ when asked what they want, the brand’s latest campaign, #AskHerAgain, urges people to pause, ask one more time, and pay closer attention to the needs mothers quietly set aside every day.

Conceptualised and executed by SoCheers, the campaign shifts the conversation away from symbolic celebration and towards attentiveness. At its core is a simple but emotionally resonant observation, for many mothers, ‘nothing’ is often less about not wanting anything, and more about being conditioned to ask for very little.

The campaign unfolded through creator-led storytelling, influencer conversations, and collaborations across fashion, food, travel, tech, and lifestyle categories. Across Instagram and LinkedIn, creators interpreted ‘Ask Her Again’ through everyday moments that reflected the emotional dynamics shared across Indian households, from mothers hesitating to express personal wants to families rediscovering the importance of simply listening a little more carefully.

While the cultural conversation remained at the forefront, BHIM App positioned itself quietly as an enabler, helping people turn intent into action, whether through meaningful gestures, thoughtful gifting, shared experiences, or everyday acts of care.

Speaking about the campaign, Lalitha Nataraj, MD & CEO, NBSL, said, “Mothers spend a lifetime putting everyone else first. We wanted to create something that didn’t just celebrate that, but gently questioned it too. #AskHerAgain is rooted in a moment most people instantly recognise. The moment you ask again, listen more carefully, and make space for her to want something for herself. Our role was simply to help make those moments easier to act upon.”

Siddharth Devnani, Co-Founder and COO, SoCheers, added, “Every year, Mother’s Day conversations tend to revisit the same emotional cues and executional patterns. This time, we wanted to begin with a behaviour so common that people rarely pause to think about it. Almost everyone has heard their mother say ‘nothing’ at some point. But once you stop taking that answer at face value, the entire dynamic changes. The campaign was designed to spark that moment of recognition.”

At a time when communication is often dominated by overt sentiment and formulaic gratitude, #AskHerAgain makes a quieter, more human point: sometimes the most meaningful thing you can do is simply ask one more time.

Style Baazar Unveils New Community-First Marketing Blueprint

KOLKATA, India, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Style Baazar, one of India’s fastest-growing value fashion retailers, is rethinking how fashion brands connect with consumers across Tier 2 and Tier 3 India. Moving away from conventional mass advertising, the brand is building a more community-driven and culturally rooted marketing approach — one that focuses less on broadcasting messages and more on creating participation and belonging.

Baazar Style Retail Limited (BSRL) Logo

Over the last six months, Style Baazar has strengthened its digital-first strategy through regional storytelling, creator-led content, youth culture, AI-powered customer engagement, and hyperlocal campaigns tailored for emerging India.

This shift has translated into strong measurable impact for the brand. Style Baazar recorded a 3.8X growth in social media content views year-on-year, along with a 4.6X increase in engagement rates across platforms and a 4.1X rise in creator-led organic reach. The brand also saw an 11% increase in repeat consumer interaction during key campaign periods and a 30% growth in regional language content consumption. Notably, campaigns focused on Tier 2 and Tier 3 audiences delivered 35% higher engagement compared to metro-focused communication.

Creator collaborations have emerged as a major growth driver for the brand, contributing nearly 40% of total festive campaign reach. In the last four months alone, Style Baazar has worked with over 500 regional creators across fashion, lifestyle, family, and youth culture categories. The momentum has also reflected in business performance, with the company registering 6% business growth year-on-year and 35% CAGR growth over the last year.

Rather than focusing only on transactional campaigns and price-led messaging, Style Baazar has consciously invested in building stronger consumer communities in a highly cluttered retail environment where most communication often looks and feels similar.

Some of the brand’s recent initiatives included hyperlocal digital storytelling around festivals such as Poila Baishakh and Bihu, regional creator meets, influencer community programs, film integrations, celebrity-led cultural collaborations, and reimagined End of Season Sale campaigns inspired by youth-led hip-hop and street culture. The brand has also strengthened its AI-driven customer lifecycle management capabilities to enable smarter personalization, retention, and repeat engagement.

Style Baazar’s participation in platforms such as Calcutta Times Fashion Week further reflects its effort to balance aspiration with accessibility for consumers across emerging India.

Commenting on the evolving marketing philosophy, Rohit Kedia, Chairman, Style Baazar, said, “Consumers today want to feel seen and understood by the brands they engage with. Especially across India, fashion is deeply connected to culture, identity, language, and everyday aspirations. At Style Baazar, we are trying to build conversations and communities around fashion instead of relying only on one-way communication. Our focus is to stay culturally relevant, digitally agile, and closely connected to the people we serve.”

With digital consumption, smartphone penetration, and creator influence continuing to grow rapidly, Style Baazar believes the future of fashion retail marketing will be shaped by culture-led communities, regional relevance, and deeper consumer participation rather than traditional advertising alone.

About Style Baazar

Style Baazar (Baazar Style Retail Limited) is one of Eastern India’s fastest-growing value fashion retail chains, committed to making quality, trend-led apparel accessible to every Indian family.
