To mark this association, the brand released some exclusive behind-the-scenes footage to kick-off the campaign through its YouTube and social media channels. In this video, Milind is seen in an animated, candid conversation about manscaping with his manager. Considering that intimate grooming, pubic hair removal, and intimate hygiene for men have always been tricky and conventionally taboo topics, Milind cleverly uses humour to draw attention towards the subject, also involving the general public to chip in with creative ideas.
Speaking about the importance of creating awareness around manscaping or men’s intimate grooming, Suraj Chaudhari, Co-CEO & Co-founder, Zlade, said, “There is a tendency in our society to avoid conversations about intimate grooming and hygiene. It is important to us as a brand to normalise the notions people have about manscaping (and create awareness around the subject and the problems or infections the lack thereof can lead to). Milind Soman has always been the epitome of health and fitness and he has never been shy to call a spade a spade. These aspects of his personality, along with his undying popularity across age groups and genders, make him the ideal fit for Zlade Ballistic. Zlade’s association with him will make Indian men more aware of their intimate grooming and hygiene habits. As a company, we aim to introduce manscaping to India and revolutionise the men’s intimate grooming landscape.”

Always known to speak up about issues that matter, model, actor, and fitness enthusiast Milind Soman said, “Feels good to be a part of this campaign by Zlade Ballistic! They are a purpose-driven Indian brand that is pioneering change in the men’s grooming segment; intimate grooming in particular. With a shared vision, Zlade Ballistic and I want to throw light on societal stereotypes when it comes to pubic hair, manscaping, and intimate grooming, and spark a necessary and candid conversation about below-the-belt grooming habits since it ties directly to hygiene, lifestyle, intimacy, and more. I’m delighted to be a part of this initiative.”
With a range of hair removal and intimate hygiene products already in the market, Mihir Vaidya, Co-CEO & Co-founder said, “With the new Zlade Ballistic range of hi-tech trimmers, we are constantly innovating and making below-the-belt grooming safe, hassle-free, and convenient. Our collaboration with Milind Soman will help us amplify awareness around this category as well as our products across markets. We are thrilled to have him on board.”
The brand, rapidly growing into a force to reckon with in the Indian grooming and personal care industry, also recently conducted an interesting social experiment to understand India’s take on manscaping. The interactive vox-pop engaged random people in candid discussions around intimate grooming, men’s intimate hygiene, pubic hair, sexual intimacy, and women’s preferences towards men’s below-the-belt grooming.
