It is remembered for its launch campaign in 1991, featuring two of India's top models of the time – Pooja Bedi and Marc Robinson, shot by Prabuddha Dasgupta.

In April 2009, KamaSutra condoms launched a new viral initiative which aimed at reminding people to use condoms. This initiative was designed to take advantage of a key consumer behavioural insight – sex is mostly searched, seen, found, discussed and accessed primarily using a computer. Hence, a desktop application which uses a keystroke sensor, KamaSutra condom pack that drops down whenever the user types anything related to sex. This application can be shared between friends through the internet, where a person can select the KamaSutra condom variant, insert a personalized message for a friend and the next time the friend types anything related to sex, this condom drops down with his message on it, the intention being that this is a fun yet relevant reminder from a friend to wear a condom.
