boAt and Blinkit have launched a humorous Mother’s Day campaign that plays on a relatable sentiment: “What if your mom doesn’t need you anymore because she has AI?”
Featuring digital creator Anuj Gupta, the campaign film highlights instances where mothers are going straight to AI for instant answers, everyday assistance and even tech support, intead of seeking help from their children.

The film follows Anuj, a distracted young boy, whose mother asks for help uploading a photo on WhatsApp. He brushes her off, claiming it doesn’t fit his persona as a macro-influencer. A cheerful, personified AI chatbot then steps in as the ‘ideal son’.
What unfolds is a comic escalation—the AI chatbot begins answering her questions, suggesting gifts and seamlessly integrating into her daily routine. Irritated and jealous, Anuj has a dramatic scuffle with AI, who then gives him suggestions on how he can win back his mom’s affection and places an order for the boAt Chrome Iris smartwatch via Blinkit.
Commenting on the campaign, Gaurav Nayyar, CEO, boAt said, “The campaign idea stemmed from a simple but evolving consumer truth - AI is fast becoming the first point of help at home, even for our moms. We wanted to bring this insight to life with humour, while reinforcing that technology can assist, but not replace genuine human effort and emotion. Our partnership with Blinkit brings this thought full circle—combining cultural storytelling while enabling consumers to act on that emotion instantly and show up for their moms in minutes."
