It’s high time that in the new social paradigm each one of us realize this. This conversation is important, but often ignored,” informed Ravi Saxena, Managing Director of Wonderchef.
Wonderchef also ran an influencer marketing campaign in which over 75 celebrities and lifestyle influencers supported the cause with the hashtag I Held the Pan.

The social experiment continues unabated in our exclusive outlets across India. We will not let this flame die!” he added” added Ravi Saxena.
This latest video comprises conversations with various men and women based on their real-life experiences regarding the roles they play in their kitchen. The challenge, as per the company, was how to engage the men to begin conversing about this issue. The brand decided to take this cause up, to spread awareness and engage both genders in understanding the situation, in a light format.
“The idea was to see what men felt about the status of gender equality in India and their own endeavors in the kitchen. A short, engaging quiz was created for the same. It was relayed to men of varied ages and backgrounds, to have a representative sample. The core message of the campaign was captured into the phrase: Dear Man Hold the Pan,” noted Suneil Chawla, CEO, Social Beat.
