Ranveer Singh-backed Bold Care enters pleasure product category with Bloom massagers; targets 2.5x revenue growth in FY26
New Delhi: Sexual health and wellness brand Bold Care , backed by Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh , has expanded into the pleasure category, launching a range of personal massagers for men and women under its brand Bloom by Bold Care. In the last fiscal, the company has reached Rs 100 crore revenue mark and is targeting monthly sales of over 25,000 units from this category in the next 12 months, as part of its broader strategy to diversify and scale revenue streams, said Rajat Jadhav , Cofounder & CEO of Bold Care, in an interview with ETRetail. According to him, the company expects its overall business to grow over 150 per cent (2.5x growth) in FY26, with the Bloom product line scaling faster than Bold Care's core portfolio. 'It took us 18 months to cross Rs 1 crore in revenue when we launched Bold Care. Bloom achieved that milestone in just five months,' Jadhav said. The company is witnessing strong traction across sales channels. Quick commerce currently contributes around 30 per cent of total sales, while 15-20 per cent comes from online marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart. The remaining 50–55 per cent of revenue is generated through the company's D2C platform. Jadhav said Bold Care is investing in new product development across both Bold Care and Bloom categories to drive future growth. Without disclosing investment figures, he noted that expanding the portfolio remains a key strategic focus. Launched as a men's sexual wellness brand in 2020, Bold Care has now evolved into a broader digital-first health platform, offering solutions across hair care, performance health, and intimate wellness. With the rapid growth of Bloom, the company is banking on rising consumer comfort with intimate products and the ease of access enabled by Q-commerce and e-commerce platforms. 'The growth curve for Bloom is significantly steeper than what we saw during our initial Bold Care journey. We are confident of surpassing our earlier benchmarks by a wide margin,' Jadhav added.

Samay Raina Makes First Appearance After Hinting At India's Got Latent Return, Has THIS To Say
Last Updated: Samay Raina's candid moment with paparazzi has gone viral across social media. Samay Raina was recently embroiled in controversy after Ranveer Allahbadia's comment on his show, India's Got Latent, sparked massive backlash. Samay was not only in legal trouble but also had to shut down his YouTube show. As the legal row is slowly dying down, the comedian hinted that the show might return after some time. Samay has now made his first public appearance after teasing the show's return, and he looked happy and calm. Samay Raina was seen in a blue tee with checkered pants, flaunting a comfy look for the night. As paparazzi surrounded the comedian for a photo, he asked them to join him instead of taking his pictures. The comedian then posed for the shutterbugs and said, 'Main na awkward ho jaata hoon thoda, yaar." Have a look here: While Samay Raina is still navigating ongoing legal proceedings, he is slowly returning to the comedy stage and the public eye. In a recent promotional video for Bold Care — a sexual wellness brand co-owned by actor Ranveer Singh — he was asked by podcaster Raj Shamani if India's Got Latent would ever return. With his trademark wit, Samay replied, 'Woh toh ab Samay hee bata payega. Main nahi, time. Time is the best healer," playing on the double meaning of his name and the Hindi word for 'time." He added with a smile, 'Good things take time." Whether it was a subtle tease or a serious hint, fans are already talking about the possibility of a comeback. He also recently announced a new international tour that will take him across Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

‘There's a limit to being bold': Samay Raina tells Raj Shamani, reveals lessons learnt from India's Got Latent row
Samay Raina is back and how! For the first time after the massive controversy around India's Got Latent pulled the standup comedian down, he has appeared in a podcast. Going with his image, it is impossible to say if what he is saying in the podcast is real or is 'manufactured' for the sake of comedy. In a promotional video for Bold Care, co-owned by actor Ranveer Singh, Samay Raina speaks to Raj Shamani, one of India's most popular YouTubers at the moment. Raj Shamani asks Samay Raina what he has learned from the lows he experienced in recent times. 'Life has its highs and lows. I realise that we should always be bold regardless of whatever. But, there is a limit to being bold. And, to ensure that you don't cross the limit…' says Samay Raina while promoting a sexual wellness product from Bold Care. 'Once some things get released, there is no point of return,' Samay Raina says in an intended pun. 'But, what have you learnt from this?' Raj Shamani asks. 'Many times, some unwanted things remain in life. Later, when you look back at them, you regret not cutting them out at the time. But, by then, it's already too late. So, better to remove such things early on,' Samay says. And, Samay Raina fans start assuming that Samay Raina is regretting not editing out Ranveel Allahbadia's controversial statement on India's Got Latent. Just then, Samay Raina introduces another Bold Care product to shave off 'unwanted things'. As Shamani asks Samay when his show will return, the comedian confirmed it would, but didn't give a timeline. 'Woh toh ab Samay hi bata payega. Matlab main nahi, time. You have to give it time. Good things take time. Time is the best healer. Samay sabse bada hai. Samay sabse balwan hai. Aur Samay se bada koi nahi. Samay sabse shaktishali hai, bhai. 'Aur apna samay badhaane ke liye (And, to increase the duration)…' Samay Raina promotes another product by Bold Care. 'Your time is going well. You should extend your duration further,' Samay tells Raj Shamani. Shamani laughs and requests Raina not to keep this part of the video in the final draft. 'Should I edit this out? That's exactly what I'm incapable of doing,' Samay Raina quips as both laugh louder.
