According to Meera Jyothis Prem, Creative Lead, McCann World Group Advertising, Bangalore, “Koora Karampodi is what mothers of AP and Telangana hold near and dear to their hearts. Every household has a unique recipe that has been passed down for generations, and is what every mother lovingly makes for her daughter who comes to visit. So introducing Aashirvaad Koora Karam, the first packaged koorakarampodi in this market was a significant endeavor, tactically and emotionally. Because while we introduce the product to mothers, we also needed to acknowledge the sentimental significance they hold to giving this podi to their daughters. We wanted to retain the joy every mother delights in while making something special for her children, while also encouraging her to explore the world beyond the accustomed. And that is exact essence the film showcases, where a mother is able to create a treasured surprise for her daughter with the help of Aashirvaad KooraKaram. To portray the acceptance of mothers, we crafted out tagline, ‘Just like homemade, with your mother’s touch’ that assures moms that you will not lose out on that cherished taste, but gain the freedom to pursue other passions and enrich relationships.”
