The promotional video for Flipkart's 'Big Billion Days Sale' faced backlash for using derogatory terms to describe husbands, leading to accusations of misandry from various viewer groups.
The ad's humor, intended as playful, struck a nerve with audiences, raising questions about gender representation in advertising and the potential harm of perpetuating stereotypes.
Flipkart's swift removal of the controversial ad and public apology emphasizes their recognition of the complexities in marketing strategies and the need for sensitivity in communications.
The incident serves as a reminder that even well-intentioned marketing can miss the mark and risk alienating customers in an increasingly inclusive marketplace.
