Dads #ShareTheLoad’–inspired and empowered Dads to share the load of laundry with their wives and start removing the cultural stain of gender inequality. We created new surprising ways for families to discuss the issue and nudge Dads. Working with Kalnirnay, India’s most popular calendar we developed calendars where the dates split the laundry task equally between Dads and Moms.
