The founder and CEO of Bombay Shaving Company Shantanu Deshpande took to LinkedIn and shared a picture from the topper’s newspaper advertisement.

In the caption, he wrote

“It was shocking to see the amount of hate targeted at a teenage girl who had topped an exam because of her facial hair. Our simple message to this amazing young woman with such a bright future. Love to see my team ooze class. No opportunistic sales, QR codes, nothing. Just a heartfelt message to a fellow Bae.”

The caption further reads,

“Dear Prachi, they’re trolling your hair today, they’ll applaud your AIR tomorrow.”

It was the advertisement’s closing statement that fueled controversy and drew backlash from the public.

It stated,

“We hope you never get bullied into using our razor.”

Netizens’ Reactions

The post went viral within hours of its posting. Many netizens called it “disgusting” and “absurd.”

One user wrote,

“This is a collective failure of your team. Hope they read each and every comment and reflect. Did no one in the team notice this problem? How disconnected are they from reality? This will leave a deeper scar on the girl than anything else, and I will always remember your brand for being an opportunist.”

While another commented, “Insensitive.”

“This is terrible, a huge mistake you made. This is bullying this woman on another, bigger level,”

wrote another. 

“Classless and in poor taste… You don’t deserve more attention than this,”

one commented. 

What the CEO Has to Say?

Shantanu Deshpande described his caption as a small token of support for Prachi, and thus defended the ad.

His efforts to clear the air were in vain, as many netizens still found the company’s response via the ad lacking sensitivity.

Bombay Shaving Company’s intention was to extend support for the topper. However, it ultimately led to more criticism and enhanced controversy.

Recently, the class 10th and 12th results were published by the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad. Prachi Nigam scored 591/600 marks and topped Class 10. She revealed that her aim is to crack the IIT-JEE and become an engineer.
