Karthik Srivatsan, country category leader, grooming Indian Sub-Continent, P&G, said, “Lt. Col. Manoj Kumar (Retd.) and his father are true heroes who’ve shown us that when we get past stereotypes that constrain us, we can emerge stronger together. Gillette salutes their spirit and is proud to have had the opportunity to be part of their journey. We are committed to Gillette being a Force for Good and want to continue to bring real life positive stories of men, and play a role in influencing culture. Our actions need to set the right standards for the boys of today to be men of tomorrow.”

With #ManEnough, we want men breaking free of notions that crying makes them weaker, and that it takes courage to show your vulnerability”
