Why Dia Mirza invested in BabyChakra

BabyChakra claims that it reaches 39 million moms and 10,000 doctors across India, offering relevant information through intelligent communities and personalized content. The brand, integrated into The Moms Co, launched a national awareness campaign, #LabelPadhoMoms, in October 2022, focusing on label literacy and raising awareness about harmful chemicals in baby products.

Dia Mirza expressed her excitement about the partnership, emphasizing her resonance with BabyChakra’s mission to co-create the safest, cleanest label care for children. She praised the brand’s approach of building with the community at its heart and its efforts in fostering transparency through its National Label Literacy campaign: Label Padho Moms. Dia plans to work closely with BabyChakra teams to champion the voice of sustainable care for families.

I deeply resonate with BabyChakra’s community first mission to co-create the safest, cleanest label care for children. The success of the products is a testimony to the approach of building with the community at its heart. I am also inspired by the transparency that BabyChakra has fostered in India for the first time through its ground-breaking National Label Literacy campaign: Label Padho Moms. I will be closely working with the teams at BabyChakra to further champion the voice of sustainable care for families,” said Dia Mirza.

In October 2022, the brand launched a national awareness campaign on label literacy with more than 8,000 mothers and 2000 doctors participating titled #LabelPadhoMoms. The objective is to raise awareness of harmful chemicals that are hidden on the labels of many baby products, it said.
