Spotify has one of the highest market shares of all global music streaming services, 31.7% in 2024 and offers some of the largest earnings. But how do artists and musicians earn from their creations on Spotify?
From creating your artist profile to leveraging print merchandise, our guide will help you understand the different ways to make money on Spotify.
Spotify’s service pays musicians and artists through a system called Stream Share. Firstly, the platform collects all the revenue from ads and subscriptions. Then it calculates the artist’s share based on the total streams their music represents. But rather than being paid per stream, musicians are paid in lump sum amounts.
A major factor in these payments depends on the origin of the listener – the more developed the country, the higher the payment. In some cases, record labels take their cut before the money reaches the artist.
Making Money on Spotify – 5 Strategies For 2025 That Work
Making money on Spotify
Spotify provides multiple ways for artists to earn money beyond streaming. From selling merchandise to monetizing playlists and podcasts, it helps diversify your income.
Start By Selling Your Merchandise
By selling your merchandise you have an underrated option for making money on the platform. With easy access and popularity in eCommerce, you can sell custom-branded products with as little as it takes to manage a social media profile. Merchandising is one of the few options to help monetize content with physical products to help improve brand visibility. It can be broken down into the following steps:
Developing a brand image: Start by creating a brand image that aligns with your music aesthetics. Remember to create a coherent story about what drives you as an artist and create your merchandise based on that.
Choose the right merchandise: This can range from t-shirts to hoodies to posters and stickers. Choose options that resonate with your audience and be as creative as possible.
Generating excitement: Highlight your merchandise on social media or by running a live stream to build hype. You can also provide limited edition options to generate FOMO.
Print on demand: You can dropship your merchandise from multiple companies. All you need to do is create the design, and the rest is handled by the company.
One of the best ways to highlight your taste in music is to curate playlists while earning money. Multiple Spotify playlist makers review songs from independent artists and can get paid for their feedback. You can consider some ways:
Create and promote playlists: As artists, you can create your own playlists and add your music with other popular ones to increase your exposure.
Submit your music to Spotify: Spotify has the option of curated playlists and getting your track featured to multiple listeners. Start by getting your track featured in them.
Look for Spotify playlist placements from influencers: There are many influencers who create playlists on Spotify. You can connect with them to get featured in one of these to generate new followers.
Utilise Spotify’s algorithm: Spotify offers its own options of ‘Release Radar’ and ‘Discover Weekly’ that can help get your music to the right audience.
You can gain popularity on streaming services by inviting listeners to a live stage show. While digital music streaming helps musicians find fans all over the world, you can also use Spotify to jumpstart your music career by promoting your shows at local venues. You can use this by:
Linking it to your event: If you have an upcoming concert or show, then add it to your artist page. By integrating with ticket sale websites like Eventbrite and Ticketmaster, your listeners can buy tickets directly from your page.
Early bird access: By offering early bird access to your followers, you are not only increasing the sale of your tickets but also encouraging FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) in your fans.
Integrating with Spotify Ads: Use Spotify Ad Studio to run any promotional campaign. This can include announcing official tour dates, promoting the actual event, and even selling more tickets.
One great way to make money on Spotify is by podcasting. For this, you do not need to be signed to a record label or set up a company. You can work it out by:
Start a podcast: Create music-related podcasts where you highlight your songs or talk about the music industry in general. That way, you can connect with your audience on a personal level.
Collaborations: Connect with industry professionals, musicians, and influencers to add their insights and expand your listening base.
Monetization: When you have a listener base, marketing options such as listener donations, ads, and sponsors can increase your income.
Collaborating With Other Artists
Collaboration with other artists is a perfect way to increase growth and earnings on Spotify. Some ways you can make this work are:
Creating joint ventures: Partner with other artists on their singles or albums to help boost visibility and cross-pollinate followers.
Brand partnerships: Partner with brands that resonate with your music and your audience. This can include product placement, sponsored content, and even promo codes in the descriptions of the track.
Guest appearances: You can get featured in other artists’ tracks or invite them to get featured in yours.
Conclusion
Making money on Spotify is an exciting area for content creators and artists, especially in 2025. From leveraging Spotify’s ad space to connecting with fans via live shows and exclusive content, the opportunities can be endless.
Once you understand the multiple ways to make money, you can monetize your content and build your brand story not only as an artist but also as a music influencer in the global market. And you never know, you could be the next big band or singer to take the world by storm.
Can you earn money by creating playlists on Spotify?
Yes, curating playlists can be a revenue stream. Artists and playlist curators may earn through sponsored placements, song submissions, or affiliate partnerships.
How do artists get paid on Spotify?
Spotify pays artists using a Stream Share model. It collects revenue from ads and subscriptions and then distributes a portion to rights holders based on their share of total streams.

Final Thoughts
Today’s funding activity highlights steady investor confidence across sectors like fintech, mobility, and sustainability. From large capital raises to early-stage growth, startups continue to attract attention and drive innovation in key areas of the economy.
In this interaction with StartupTalky, Shesh Rao Paplikar, Founder and CEO of BHIVE Workspace, discusses the key challenges in India’s managed office space sector, including integrating real-time systems for billing, maintenance, and occupancy. He explains BHIVE’s flexible leasing model, city-wise expansion strategy, and how customer insights shaped their premium centres. Paplikar also shares how workspace needs are shifting towards wellness and learning, and how BHIVE is responding to hybrid work. He outlines the internal changes being made to improve operations and prepare the company for a public listing.
StartupTalky: The managed office space sector is quickly evolving in India. From your experience, what unique challenges and opportunities has BHIVE encountered in reshaping the commercial real estate industry?
Mr. Paplikar: As the founder of BHIVE, I have addressed the challenges of India’s managed office space sector by combining the stability of traditional real estate with the adaptability required by modern enterprises. Integrating real-time billing, maintenance, and occupancy systems presented significant difficulties, often requiring intense effort.
However, the successful alignment of these systems has been highly rewarding. BHIVE’s shorter, flexible leases on meticulously designed workspaces consistently deliver higher occupancy than conventional long-term leases, supporting our expansion. By incorporating advanced technology and engaging community events, BHIVE is redefining commercial real estate, providing a balanced solution that meets the evolving demands of India’s workforce.
StartupTalky: Bengaluru makes up 95% of BHIVE’s current portfolio. What specific factors are driving your decision to expand into new cities? How do you plan to adapt your model to different regional markets with varying business ecosystems?
Mr. Paplikar: BHIVE’s expansion into new cities is fuelled by vibrant entrepreneurial hubs and escalating demand for agile workspaces in those cities.
To fit our model into different regional markets with varying business ecosystems, we adapt our products, services, community programs, and leasing structures to meet each city’s unique business environment and operating needs. This helps us drive sustained growth and deliver exceptional value to diverse professional communities.
StartupTalky: Your premium centres in Indiranagar and Garudacharapalya in Bengaluru have raised the bar for coworking. Could you share the key customer insights or market gaps that influenced these location choices and your approach to creating premium workspaces?
Mr. Paplikar: Our premium coworking spaces in Indiranagar and Garudacharapalya were carefully designed based on extensive consumer research and market analysis. Our interactions with emerging SMEs revealed a consistent demand for premium interiors, round-the-clock accessibility, and conference facilities suited for late-night investor presentations.
Furthermore, the seamless metro connectivity in Indiranagar and Garudacharapalya’s proximity to the HAL airport corridor make them ideal for both local and visiting professionals. This data-driven approach helps ensure our workspaces meet the evolving needs of small businesses.
StartupTalky: Startups and SMEs often have distinct and evolving workspace needs. What are some surprising or emerging demands you have noticed recently, and how is BHIVE innovating to address them beyond the typical flexibility and tech features?
Mr. Paplikar: While startups and SMEs still pay attention to wellness-oriented and learning opportunities in workspaces, the new-age requirements are agility and technology, on-site yoga, gym, and skill-sharing sessions, such as design thinking or stress management.
BHIVE is addressing this shift by piloting its ‘Elevate Your Lifestyle at Work’ concept, integrating wellness with curated learning experiences. These shifts help build an energetic environment where employees can thrive and enhance well-being and productivity while meeting the fast-paced demands of ever-evolving businesses.
StartupTalky: As hybrid work becomes the new normal, how is BHIVE redesigning its spaces and services to boost productivity, community, and well-being? Could you share specific examples of changes made based on client feedback?
Mr. Paplikar: With hybrid work becoming the norm, we are redesigning our spaces to boost productivity, community spirit, and overall well-being. Based on client feedback, we have expanded silent pods and introduced ergonomic focus booths to support concentrated work.
Additionally, collaborative hubs have been upgraded to promote networking and innovation. Also, to integrate lifestyle needs, BHIVE now offers wellness rooms, sustainable designs, and on-site cafeterias, thus creating a balanced environment that aligns with modern workforce demands, besides promoting a vibrant community.
StartupTalky: Preparing for a public listing is a major milestone. What internal transformations and governance practices have you prioritised to ensure BHIVE is IPO-ready, and how will this transition impact your company culture?
Mr. Paplikar: To get IPO-ready, we have made strong internal changes, including building a strong leadership team, improved financial transparency, improved audit & risk management committees, and improved ESG reporting frameworks. We have developed tight compliance processes and have embedded accountability in the organisation by having monthly “Town Hall” meetings that facilitate wide open communication.
These initiatives reinforce our commitment to integrity, strengthen stakeholder confidence, and ensure that we remain aligned with the expectations of public markets, thus driving sustainable growth and meaningful employee engagement.
StartupTalky: Technology is key to managed office success. Post your acquisition of Praemenio, how are you integrating tech solutions to differentiate BHIVE’s offerings and create seamless experiences for clients and investors alike?
Mr. Paplikar: Following the acqui-hire of Praemenio, our trusted consultants, we have seamlessly integrated their expertise to elevate our tech-driven offerings. We have enhanced the BHIVE App and developed platforms to streamline processes for our sales team, ensuring a frictionless experience for clients and investors. This strategic tech integration, led by our CTO and product heads, reflects our commitment to solving complex challenges and delivering innovative, user-centric solutions that set BHIVE apart in the managed office space.
StartupTalky: Looking forward, beyond geographic expansion, what strategic sectors or innovative business models is BHIVE exploring to stay ahead in the competitive coworking and real estate markets?
Mr. Paplikar: We are strategically advancing beyond geographic expansion by focusing on sector-specific accelerators to promote innovation. Embracing our motto, ‘Elevate your lifestyle at work,’ we integrate wellness into workspaces and offer amenities like gym sessions and showers to enhance work-life balance. By fusing real estate, community, and technology, we aim to maintain a competitive edge in the evolving coworking and real estate market.

Great products deserve to be seen. And great design is how they’re remembered. When it comes to consumer loyalty, much of the conversation centers around product quality, competitive pricing, or marketing buzz. But often, what nudges a consumer from curiosity to conversion—and from one-time buyer to repeat customer is far simpler: how the product looks, where it shows up, and how easy it is to access. In an environment where attention is scarce and competition is high, the way a product presents itself can be just as important as what’s inside.
Packaging is the First Conversation
The way a product is packaged is its first chance to connect with a customer. On shelves or screens, it’s what makes someone pause, notice, and consider. Today, packaging isn’t just functional, it’s expressive. According to NielsenIQ, well-executed primary packaging can communicate similar product and brand perceptions as secondary packaging, influencing factors like brand fit, perceptions of premiumness, product expectations, and purchase interest. It’s also social. We’ve learnt that consumers are more likely to share a product online if its packaging feels premium or visually distinctive. The design cues that perform best? Clarity, intentionality, and relevance. Packaging with bold, minimal visuals and authentic messaging can increase recall and trust, particularly among younger shoppers.
Products don’t move if they’re not seen. Visibility whether in retail aisles, app carousels, or algorithmic feeds, is a performance lever that’s often underestimated. On e-commerce platforms, products on the first page get at least 80% of all clicks, with the first three listings capturing at least 60% of those clicks, according to Jungle Scout.
In retail, products placed at eye level or on end caps can see significantly higher sell-through rates, emphasizing the importance of strategic placement. Context dictates what stands out. In cluttered digital grids, clean visuals interrupt the scroll. In sparse environments, playful color or human presence can anchor attention.
Getting someone to buy once is good. But the goal is to have them come back. The key is consistency. When someone sees us again, they should feel like, “I know this brand, I liked it the last time.” We update our designs without changing who we are. Familiarity builds trust.
Accessibility isn’t Just About Price
Affordability plays a role. But accessibility also means ease of use, clarity of value, and low friction. Baymard Institute’s 2023 UX benchmark shows that 17% of online shoppers abandon purchases due to complicated checkouts, while 13% exit because product information isn’t clear enough. These aren’t pricing issues—they’re design and usability breakdowns.
Consumers reward clarity. They convert faster when the product is easy to understand and effortless to act on.
Quick Commerce and the Rise of the Impulse Buy
Quick Commerce and the Rise of the Impulse Buy
Quick commerce isn’t just speeding up delivery, it’s reshaping how people buy. Platforms like Zepto, Blinkit, and Swiggy Instamart are shifting discovery from need-driven to mood-driven. In India’s fast-evolving quick commerce landscape, products featured in app banners and curated collections convert 2.5x–5x higher than those buried in search, according to RedSeer. Impulse purchases are visual decisions. If a product doesn’t speak immediately, it’s skipped. What gets bought is what gets seen, understood, and emotionally clicked with—instantly.
The Repeat Purchase Equation
Trial is about curiosity. Repeat is about clarity, trust, and memory. Consumers are more likely to repurchase a product if its packaging remains visually consistent. Familiarity drives re-engagement. Changing that visual identity too often or too drastically risks disconnection. Consistency matters. People come back to what they recognize and what they can find again with ease. Disruption only works when it strengthens memory—not when it resets it.
Social Media is the New Shelf
Discovery no longer begins in a store. It begins on a scroll. Instagram has emerged as a key platform for product discovery. According to Sprout Social’s 2025 report, 61% of social media users turn to Instagram when searching for their next purchase, making it the top destination for discovery. Features like Reels and Stories have become especially influential, with these video formats leading in popularity and driving brands to amplify their presence to engage audiences more effectively.
Pinterest’s Predicts Report confirms that products with neutral-toned, lifestyle-friendly packaging are saved and shared more often than hyper-branded, text-heavy visuals. Ultimately, design that feels natural and authentic within a user’s digital experience outperforms anything that feels overly promotional. In today’s feed, the scroll is the new shelf, rewarding relatability over pushy sales tactics.
Conclusion
Packaging, visibility, and accessibility are no longer surface-level concerns. They determine whether a product is tried, talked about, and bought again. The market is fast, visual, and emotionally driven. What gets noticed, gets bought. What gets remembered, gets repeated. And what’s clear, contextual, and consistent has a serious edge. Great products deserve attention. And in today’s world, that attention has to be earned by design.
Online investment platform Groww has secured $200 million in a new funding round, raising its valuation to $7 billion. The round was led by GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, along with support from Iconiq Capital, a returning investor. This is one of the largest funding rounds in India’s fintech space this year and marks a major step forward for the company as it prepares for a public listing.
The new capital will be used to strengthen Groww’s product offerings, expand user reach, and boost technology infrastructure.
IPO plans moving ahead
The funding comes just as the company gets ready to go public. In May 2025, Groww confidentially filed IPO papers with SEBI, India’s market regulator. According to reports, Groww is aiming to raise between $700 million and $1 billion through its IPO. The listing will be managed by JPMorgan and Kotak Mahindra Capital.
If successful, the IPO could be one of the most talked-about listings in the Indian fintech space this year.
Strong growth in business
Groww’s financial performance has been strong as well. For FY25, the company posted a net profit of INR 1,819 crore, a major jump from a loss of INR 805 crore in FY24. Revenue also rose by 31%, reaching INR 4,056 crore.
This turnaround follows a change in Groww’s corporate structure, as it moved its holding company from the United States to India, bringing in more tax clarity and better alignment with local regulations.
Leading stockbroker in India
Groww is now India’s largest retail stockbroker by active clients, with over 13 million users. The platform, which started in 2016 as a mutual fund investment service, now offers stocks, ETFs, gold, loans, and financial advice, all through its app.
What’s next
With strong backing, rising profits, and a planned IPO, Groww is well-placed to continue its rapid rise in India’s fintech market.

In a recent LinkedIn post, Ghazal Alagh, Co-founder of Mamaearth and Shark Tank India’s ‘Mamashark’, shared a regular but meaningful moment from her everyday life. In a world that celebrates non-stop hustle, she’s choosing something different in 2025: calm, clarity, and purpose.
One day, in the middle of a hectic morning, her young son asked her a simple but powerful question:“Mama, why are you always in a rush?”
That question made her pause, not because she had an answer, but because she didn’t. It sparked a moment of reflection that many working mothers and entrepreneurs will find relatable.
“2025 isn’t over,” Ghazal wrote, “but it’s already taught me more than I expected.” She then shared five lessons she’s embracing this year, which are not taken from business books, but from living, learning, and listening.
1. Don’t try to be perfect all the time
Ghazal admitted she often rushed because she was trying to get everything exactly right. But chasing perfection meant not delegating enough and missing out on what truly matters. Now, she values steady progress over flawless execution.
“I now value consistent progress far more than overthinking and doing everything perfectly,” she said.
2. Always know your reason
She realised that saying “yes” too quickly often led to unnecessary stress. “Now, I am chasing clarity by asking myself, why,” she wrote. Having clear reasons behind commitments helps her stay focused and stress-free.
“When my body or my family is running on low, everything else falls apart,” she shared. Her new approach is to slow down, prioritise well-being, and find her own version of balance.
4. Being busy is not the same as being productive
Ghazal noted that her full calendar wasn’t always meaningful. She now asks, “Is this adding value, or just adding noise?” This shift from doing more to doing what matters is something many professionals are waking up to.
5. If you don’t change it, you’re choosing it
By repeatedly telling herself that things would slow down, she realised she was actually agreeing to live like that. Real change, she noted, only happens when we make a choice.
Her final reflection was simple yet profound: “Some lessons come from books. Some, from your child’s one honest question.”
A Reminder for Every Entrepreneur
For entrepreneurs, it’s easy to get caught in the rush of chasing deadlines, scaling faster, and doing more. But as Ghazal reminds us, being busy isn’t the same as building something meaningful. Her reflections show that real success also means knowing when to pause, protect your energy, and focus on what truly matters, whether that’s your team, your family, or your own well-being. Sometimes, slowing down is what helps you grow stronger.
Our fathers are the rock upon which we can put our faith. They are constant in their support and will always be there for us. They encourage us to keep going even when things are tough, and they are the wind beneath our wings. Dads love us even when we can’t see it, and they make sure we have all we need. The people who help us achieve our goals in life are often our dads. Our dads have been our biggest advocates from the time they taught us to ride bikes as children until now, when we’re adults, when we pursue our goals and ambitions. Fathers deserve recognition all year round for being there for their children through thick and thin, believing in them and their abilities, and helping them attain their full potential. We honour our fathers and everything they do for us each year on Father’s Day.
Several brands realising the importance of this day, have put their creative minds to work and crafted some of the most thoughtful commercials to make Father’s Day more special:
Zomato’s Father’s Day Ad Celebrates the Unsung Multi-Tasker – Dad
Zomato has released a heartwarming Father’s Day campaign that beautifully captures the silent strength and support fathers offer through every stage of life. The ad traces the journey from childhood to adulthood, showing how fathers are always present, whether it’s dropping you off, staying up at night, or simply being a comforting presence.
Adding a quirky twist, the film cleverly compares the roles fathers play to popular modern services. He’s our very own Uber, always ready to drive us; our Spotify, singing lullabies late at night; our personal event planner, just like Zomato District; our reliable news update, like Inshorts; and even our human Truecaller, always picking up the landline. And when the child casually mentions mangoes, he brings them home by evening, just like Blinkit.
Apollo Tyres
Apollo Tyres – Father’s Day Campaign
Apollo Tyres celebrated Father’s Day in 2024 with a heartfelt and warming ad highlighting how fathers navigate life with love and resilience. But the ad has a little twist. It is not talking about a bond between father and child, but between an owner and his pet dog. The narrative captured here showcases that parental bonds can be between animals and humans, just as the present generations see their pets as their children.
Hero Lectro
Hero Lectro showcased that the greatest Father’s Day gift is not an expensive watch or a car, but rather the moments we share. The ad showcases an emotional journey where fathers play a constant supportive role, from teaching us to walk to riding our first bicycle. They are not just teachers and mentors, but also companions and friends who provide wisdom and insights as we grow up.
Hisense India
Hisense India – Father’s Day Campaign
Hisense India created a Father’s Day campaign that not only highlighted the bond between fathers and children but also the multiple roles they play in our lives. The brand made its campaign interactive by asking users to send photos of their MVP, their dad with Hisense. This campaign was to show that dads are always there for us and support us no matter what we do.
IFFALCON
IFFALCON had one of the most quirky and relatable Father’s Day campaigns. It highlights how fathers take hours to make a decision, as they pay attention to every detail, whether it’s choosing a TV or picking the next family vacation. They always want what is best for their family, and will take the time and energy to choose one that not only suits everyone’s needs but also their budget. The brand demonstrates the extent to which fathers are invested in purchasing to keep their families happy.
Pizza Hut
Pizza Hut – Father’s Day Campaign
Fathers are not always able to openly express their love and affection. But we all know that it’s there. Pizza Hut’s Father’s Day campaign is a take on that where a son wishes his father on his special day and agrees to foot the bill for a pizza party together. All his father does is share a thumbs-up emoji, but lost is the sweet and loving smile that the father gives, beaming with pride.
Upstox
Upstox – Father’s Day Campaign
Upstox financial investment brand celebrated Father’s Day with its #FirstFinancialAdvisor campaign. It shows a video of conversations between fathers and their children from childhood drama to adulthood problem-solving. But it highlights simple money-saving lessons to supportive, dynamic guides. Fathers are our first personal growth and financial educators who influence our lives and teach us how to make the right decisions, especially when it comes to finances.
Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance
Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance – Father’s Day Campaign
In 2024, Kotak Mahindra launched a digital film featuring their brand ambassador, Rajkummar Rao. It pays tribute to the essence of a father’s love and inspiration in one’s life. While a father’s love is often perceived as tough, they stand by you in every phase of life. Rajkummar Rao talks about his moments with his father and celebrates him as his first hero.

Zepto celebrated Father’s Day with its #JustSayIt campaign that openly encouraged people to express their love and appreciation for their fathers. The campaign was a touching video that played across multiple platforms and encouraged its audience with teasers and interactive content. The idea was simple: just make sure that your father knows just how much you love and cherish him on his special day.
Bharat Matrimony
Bharat Matrimony – Father’s Day Campaign
Last year, Bharat Matrimony aired an advertisement for Father’s Day that brilliantly depicted the love between a father and daughter while also apologizing to all fathers. The idea for the commercial came from the observation that dads miss their daughters when they grow up, even though they want them to get married.
It captures images of heartbroken dads during the ‘bidaai’ ceremony when the bride gets ready to move in with her new family after saying a sad goodbye to her parents.
Some dads put up a strong front to control their emotions, while others flash a proud, teary smile. At the conclusion of the film, BharatMatrimony issues an “apology” for matching daughters with suitable life partners and for causing this heartbreaking separation.
Dove Men+Care announced the debut of their #CongratsItsADad campaign in 2023, which honors fathers and the moment they become the first guardians of their children, on Father’s Day. The initiative’s execution showcased a remarkable level of agility, aligning with the brand’s continued dedication to acknowledging the life-changing impact of care. #CongratsItsADad is all about the dads who got the best Father’s Day present ever: a baby.
The campaign included photos of new parents and encouraged everyone to recognize the care that dads and father figures provide in their lives. Dove Men+Care wasted no time turning the birthing photographs sent in by families and photographers around the nation into outdoor digital billboards. On the same day, they went up in more than 1,600 spots around New York City, including Penn Plaza and Times Square.
Edelweiss Mutual Fund has released a digital film called “Chhoti chhoti kishton ne, Seench liya aaj rishton ko” in celebration of Father’s Day.
The digital film’s goal is to make a strong point about enabling dads to live independently and with purpose in retirement while capturing the unique link between a grandpa and his grandchild.
In the video, it was shown a middle-class family on a summer vacation to the village to stay with the boy’s grandpa. The boy is five years old. As they get ready to depart, the pair touches the old man’s feet in a traditional gesture to request his blessings. As the little boy clings to his grandpa, a touching scene unfolds.
In a touching turn of events, the old guy politely turns down the couple’s small financial gift and instead surprises them by giving their son a larger sum of money along with some sincere wishes. As they watch this act of kindness develop, the couple is profoundly affected by the range of feelings they are experiencing. A catchy melody enhances the scene’s emotional effect as it plays in the background of the film.
Godrej Group
Godrej Group – Father’s Day Campaign
A heartwarming recipe that pays tribute to fathers across the world is part of Godrej Group’s #PerfectForDadRecipe, an inspiring Father’s Day campaign. The campaign dives into deep contemplation and is sure to provoke thought. Highlighting a father’s important contributions in the kitchen, #PerfectForDadRecipe encourages diversity in new-age parenting while shattering biases and addressing stereotypes connected with parental roles. An exclusive Father’s Day dish called “The Misunderstood Dad Platter” is showcased in the advertising, which incorporates Godrej products.
Advocating for a shift in consumer mindset away from traditional gender stereotypes, the #PerfectforDadRecipe campaign highlights the equal abilities of fathers and mothers in the home and the role of parents. Godrej Group’s Corporate Brand & Communications team and Creativeland Asia came up with the idea for #PerfectforDadRecipe to highlight the importance of fathers in raising children and making the house a home. Featuring Godrej items and a father in the kitchen, the ad taps into the many feelings and societal expectations around fatherhood.
The Father’s Day advertisement by HDFC Mutual Fund stresses the value of starting early and how even modest investments now may pay off handsomely later. Many fathers instill in their children the values of saving for the future and working hard now will pay off in the end. The company takes a page out of Dad’s playbook when it comes to saving money and promotes a similar attitude among consumers.
Himalaya Babycare
Himalaya BabyCare – Father’s Day Campaign
Because of the sacrifices they make and the challenges they go through, fathers are the very first heroes in our lives. They love and protect us. However, not many parents are aware that their children look up to them as role models. An advertisement for Father’s Day that Himalaya Babycare created describes the spirit of fatherhood and encourages children of all ages to express to their fathers that they are their heroes.
Licious
Licious – Father’s Day Campaign
In every household, fathers are the unofficial “meat experts,” and they are frequently the ones who are responsible for purchasing chicken and mutton. The majority of people take their obligations extremely seriously, making certain that their family can enjoy the very best that life has to offer. The moment that they are taken away from this duty against their will, there will undoubtedly be some complaints received. In an homage to fathers on Father’s Day, the meat brand Licious apologizes to fathers for relieving them of their “meat duties,” in which the fathers express their displeasure with the situation.
Cyrus Broacha portrays the character of Boman Naoroji, who has a crush on his red automobile, which he refers to as “Boman Ki Pyaari,” and goes to great lengths to ensure that it is in perfect shape. On the other hand, “Boman Ki Pyaari” is of secondary importance to “Boman ki Dulhaari,” which is his daughter. To raise money for his daughter’s new venture, Boman decides to sell his much-loved automobile. Thankfully, Poonawalla Fincorp comes to the rescue, and “Boman ki Pyaari” continues to maintain its relationship with Boman. This campaign is being run by the company to draw attention to the collateral-free loan product that the company provides, with the end goal of encouraging clients to make it their preferred one-stop solution. It is the unwavering support that fathers provide for their children that this brand highlights. Fathers are there for their children even when they would rather remain in the background.
Narayana Group
Narayana Group – Father’s Day Campaign
The narrative of Narayana Group is about a father who is unshakable in his support of his son to assist him in achieving success. The movie praises the importance of fathers as motivators, role models, and mentors, demonstrating to children that they can inculcate values, discipline, and a desire for learning through their actions rather than just words.
The #PapaHainNaa digital film that SBI Life has created for Father’s Day depicts the journey of self-realization that a father goes through as he realizes that he has been inadvertently imparting values of perseverance and dedication in his child.
One notion that is narrated by all of these advertisements is that behind the scenes, fathers not only put in a lot of effort to make their children’s goals come true, but they also give their children the support that they require. When they are put in a position, fathers become more emotional than mothers, even though they convey the image of being emotionless. Fathers are frequently thought of as being the person with the most difficult hearts. To put it simply, they are the engine that propels the life of every child.
Father’s Day is celebrated annually on the third Sunday in June. This year, it is on 15th June.

Sell Household Items
How to Earn Money From Laptop and Internet – Sell Household Items
If you have household items that are no longer in use or you want to get rid of them, you can turn them into quick cash by selling them.

Clear and well-lit photos will attract more potential buyers and increase the chances of a successful sale.

Ensure that you accurately describe the condition, specifications, and any other relevant details of the items in your listing. This helps potential buyers make informed decisions and reduces the chances of misunderstandings or returns.
Price your items competitively based on their condition and market value. Research similar items being sold online to get an idea of the appropriate pricing range.
Be responsive to inquiries and negotiate with potential buyers if needed. Prompt communication and a friendly approach can help build trust and increase the likelihood of a successful transaction.
Remember to prioritize safety when meeting potential buyers. Arrange meetings in public places or consider using secure payment and shipping methods to protect yourself and your items.

Start a Dropshipping Business
Dropshipping is a type of e-commerce business that has gained immense popularity in recent years. The concept of dropshipping is simple – you sell physical products, but you don’t have to deal with inventory or shipping. In other words, you act as an intermediary between the customer and the supplier.
When you receive an order from a customer, you place an order with the supplier, and they ship the product directly to the customer’s doorstep. This means that you don’t have to worry about storing inventory, packaging products, or shipping them to your customers. The supplier takes care of everything for you.
Dropshipping is a great option for people who want to start an online business because it’s easy to set up and manage. You don’t need a lot of money to get started, and almost everything can be automated with apps like Oberlo and Shopify. This makes it a very hands-off business, which is great for people who want to earn passive income.
However, to succeed in dropshipping, you need to find a niche market. This means finding a product that is in demand but not widely available. You also need to create a website and start marketing your products. This involves using social media, paid advertising, and other marketing techniques to attract customers to your website.
Once you have a customer, you simply place an order with the supplier, and they take care of the rest. This means that you can focus on growing your business and finding new customers. If you think you’re good at marketing and can find a niche market, dropshipping could be a great option for you.
