Sharmayu goes all in on ‘Genuine Ayurveda’ — and takes a cheeky jab at the fakes

In an era where everything claims to be Ayurvedic—from creams that promise glow to capsules that promise calm—the term itself has lost weight. Ayurveda, once a science of precision and purity, is now often used as a marketing buzzword. Sharmayu, however, isn’t here to add to the noise. With a century-old lineage rooted in the legacy of Baidyanath, the brand has chosen a sharper path: redefining trust through genuine Ayurveda. In a market overflowing with powdered claims and photogenic herbs, Sharmayu stands out by asking a basic but bold question—“Is it real?”

Their latest digital ad campaign makes this point with rare clarity where they land the real message: Ayurveda doesn’t need filters. It needs facts. The ad smartly uses the idea of “duplicate” versus “genuine” to expose how diluted and commercialized the category has become. It’s not just storytelling. It’s a wake-up call—one that urges the consumer to look beyond labels and embrace formulations backed by tradition, transparency, and truth.

 

Somewhere along the line, Ayurveda was either over-simplified into kitchen hacks or over-complicated into clinical jargon. Sharmayu wants to be the third space — rooted, reliable, and refreshingly real,” says Nitendra Singh, Head of Marketing at Sharmayu. “At Sharmayu, we’re not chasing gimmicks or viral hashtags. Our marketing is rooted in one simple belief — when you have 100 years of real Ayurvedic legacy, you don’t need to shout, you just need to show up with the truth. In a world selling ‘Ayurvedic’ claims, we’re here to put the genuine back in Ayurveda — with clarity, transparency, and a little unapologetic boldness.”

The brand’s recent product launches — including their Swarna Panchamrit Chyawanprash with Gold and Kashmiri Keshar — have not only been well received across platforms, but also stocked up in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, proving that truth sells. Especially when it’s well-packaged.

 

“Being born from Baidyanath’s legacy isn’t just about heritage — it’s about accountability,” says Abhinav Gaur, Partner at Sharmayu. “At Sharmayu, we’re not in the race to sound modern; we’re here to make Ayurveda meaningful again. Real formulations, real benefits, and real stories — because trust isn’t built through trends, it’s built through truth.”

This also shows in their packaging — minimal, no-fluff, and QR-code enabled for instant proof of efficacy. If you think Ayurveda can’t look cool without sounding cultish, Sharmayu might just change your mind.
