HerDayEveryDay by Spykar: Because Women’s Day is Every Day, Not Just 8th March
India, March 2025
This year, Spykar, India’s leading denim brand, is turning the idea of Women’s Day on its head with its latest campaign, #HerDayEveryDay. Because let’s be honest—why should celebrating women be limited to just one day when they own every single one?
Spykar isn’t here to preach about empowerment. Instead, it’s making a statement: whether at work, at play, or just kicking back, every day is already a woman’s day. With #HerDayEveryDay, the brand is championing this simple truth through fun, engaging initiatives, real conversations, and a whole lot of denim.
“At Spykar, we don’t believe in setting reminders to celebrate women on a specific day,” said Sanjay Vakharia, CEO and Co-Founder at Spykar. “Women own their space every single day, and we’re here to acknowledge that in a way that feels natural, smart, and unapologetically real.”
Spykar is teaming up with dynamic women across entrepreneurship, fashion, lifestyle, and beyond to highlight their everyday wins—big or small. Through social media takeovers, digital storytelling, and interactive content, the brand is keeping the conversation fresh, witty, and engaging.
Encouraging its audience to join in, Spykar is inviting people to share those everyday moments where women are just being their amazing selves—whether that’s killing it in a boardroom, acing street style, or simply saying “no” to something that doesn’t serve them. Using the hashtag #HerDayEveryDay, these moments will be featured across Spykar’s platforms, because every day deserves its own highlight reel.

AutumnGrey and Luminous Power Champion Gender Equality in STEM with WomenInEnergy Campaign
India, 11th March, 2025:
On this year’s International Women’s Day, AutumnGrey, a Grey company, and Luminous Power Technologies, have launched the #WomenInEnergy campaign.
In its third year of impactful storytelling, the #WomenInEnergy campaign aims to shatter the subconscious bias that exists in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
How often do we assume that when a child excels in a science project, it is the father who provided the expertise? Amongst many Indians, there’s an unspoken assumption that STEM-related homework and projects are primarily the father’s domain, subtly undermining women’s potential and capabilities in these fields.
This is the bias AutumnGrey and Luminous Power Technologies intend to shatter.
The film depicts a seemingly ordinary school science exhibition. A young girl presents her impressive solar energy model. However, the judges and teachers, instead of immediately recognizing the potential of her project, are quick to question whether her father helped her. This subtle yet pervasive assumption highlights the ingrained societal bias that automatically associates men with STEM expertise, overlooking the potential and capabilities of women. The film gently challenges this notion by revealing that the girl’s mother is a chief engineer at Luminous Solar and a role model who defies these limiting stereotypes.
“People often talk about empowering women, but true empowerment means facing hidden biases that hold them back. This film explores this reality, highlighting how even well-meaning individuals can support stereotypes subconsciously. Our humble effort, through this film, is to create a world where every girl overcomes these biases and shines brightly.” said Anusha Shetty, Chairperson & group CEO of Grey India.
Speaking about the campaign, Ms. Neelima Burra, Chief Strategy Transformation & Marketing Officer at Luminous Power Technologies, shared her insights “The #WomenInEnergy campaign has been a journey of showcasing the remarkable contributions of women in energy, a sector that has long been perceived as male dominated. Through this film, we want to celebrate the women who continue defying expectations, leading innovations, and inspiring future generations to pursue careers in energy and STEM. This campaign is just one part of our broader commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. With our month-long celebration of Inclusion Month, Luminous is driving real, measurable change across our organisation, empowering women, fostering allyship, and ensuring that inclusion becomes a way of life.”
During Inclusion Month, we go beyond discussions and workshops to drive actionable change, setting the stage for sustained progress throughout the year. This initiative features candid dialogues, leadership discussions, employee workshops, and events across multiple locations, each designed to drive impact and solidify inclusion as a way of life. This commitment is what helps us move beyond targets and statistics, making inclusion an integral part of who we are.”

YFLO to host a unique event featuring Princess in one program
Hyderabad, March 10, 2025:India has many royal families. They have transitioned from being monarchs of kingdoms to wealthy members of a post-colonial society. Despite the abolition of princely states and discontinuation of royal privileges, the royal families have not only preserved their heritage but still continue their influence on us. The Royal families too have adopted along with the changing times.
In a rare and first-of-its-kind attempt, YFLO (Young FICCI Ladies Organisation) has planned a unique session ‘The Regal Empowerment’, a confluence of Indian Royalties. This rare and unique program is scheduled on 12th March at The Leela Hyderabad
The esteemed speakers Maharaj Kumar Sahib Dr Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar– Royal Family of Udaipur, Rajasthan; H.H. Maharani Radhika Raje Gaekwad – Royal Family of Baroda, Gujarat Nawabzadi Aaliya Sultana Babi – “Dinosaur Princess,” Royal Family of Balasinor, Gujarat; Rani Preeti Singh – Royal Family of Nabha, Punjab; Princess Meenal Kumari Singh Deo – Royal Family of Dhenkanal, Odisha will participate, deliberate
We are blessed to be surrounded today by women whose legacies speak of royal heritage, but whose actions are the true measure of leadership.
It is not another YFLO event. This is different from our regular programs. The contributions of these distinguished royal people echo through time, showing us that true royalty is not defined by titles, but by the way we uplift others and make a difference in the world says Ridhi Jain, Chairperson of YFLO
Women like them have not only inherited royal legacies, but have transformed them into platforms for empowerment. These women were not just queens—they were warriors, educators, and visionaries—trailblazers who reshaped history, and whose voices continue to inspire new generations, Ridhi Jain added.

No matter the occasion or mood, Go Colors offers the perfect pair of pants to complement every version of her. The campaign reinforces the brand’s belief: Own Your Style, Own Your Confidence.
