OVERVIEW

Execution

The creative solution was to get women to shave men in exotic positions. We called it ShaveSutra - shaving positions inspired by the ancient texts of the Kamasutra.ShaveSutra was a set of instructional videos and CDs, distributed in cafes and on the Net.Special guide books and internet virals added to the conversation. ShaveSutra was also activated on-ground in over 25 cities - as part of the Shave India Movement. At a mass ShaveSutra event in Delhi, hundreds of women shaved their men in public. A popular Bollywood actor was shaved by two leading ladies which created explosive news!
