My Brother Owes Me ₹21,000 This Rakhi, Thanks To Flipkart's InvoiSIS Invoice Generator
Flipkart's InvoiSIS lets sisters invoice brothers for years of favours. I tried it and my emotional labour is worth ₹21,000. Here is how it works.
This Rakhi, Flipkart helps sisters turn emotional labour into thoughtful gifting opportunities.
This Rakshabandhan, Flipkart has done something delightfully cheeky. Instead of the usual “buy your sister a gift” pitch, they've handed sisters across India a tool to bill their brothers for years of emotional labour, unsolicited tech support, and wardrobe sacrifices. For Raksha Bandhan 2025, Flipkart has launched InvoiSIS - an invoice generator that's turning sibling banter into a full-blown financial reckoning. And guess what? I tried it. My total? A cool ₹21,160. Yes, dear brother, you owe me a gift. And not just any gift, a Flipkart wishlist-worthy one.

InvoiSIS is Flipkart's latest campaign, launched in collaboration with financial educator CA Rachana Ranade, and it's as hilarious as it is heartwarming. Styled like a classic Indian invoice pad, the microsite www.invoisis4rakhi.com lets sisters itemise every little (and not-so-little) favour they've done for their brothers over the years.
From “refilling all the water bottles” (₹300) to “covering his hickey with my concealer” (₹570), the entries are painfully relatable. And yes, “letting him have the window seat” is a premium service, ₹750, thank you very much.

The Emotional Economy of Rakhi
Traditionally, Raksha Bandhan is about brothers vowing to protect their sisters, often symbolised with the Rakhi and celebrated with gifts. But Flipkart's InvoiSIS flips that narrative. It asks: what about all the times she protected him? Or saved him from social embarrassment? Or paused her work call to open the door for his parcel?
This isn't just a gimmick. It's a clever commentary on the invisible emotional labour sisters often perform, labour that rarely gets acknowledged, let alone rewarded.

Here's a peek into my personal InvoiSIS:
- Became his unpaid photographer on trips: ₹680
- Defended him in fights he 100% started: ₹750
- Let him have the bottom bunk our entire childhood: ₹3,000
- Ignored the fact that he just farted: ₹680
- Crafted his 2:00 AM apology text: ₹350
- Didn't throw a fit when he used my towel: ₹750
- Let him have permanent dibs on the front seat: ₹3,000
- Watched him flex his biceps for no reason: ₹680
- Didn't say “I told you so” when I definitely told him so: ₹750
And the list goes on. By the time I was done, the total stood at a very justified ₹21,160. That's not just a number, it's a lifetime of unpaid services, emotional support, and sibling patience.
A Campaign That Clicks (Literally And Emotionally)
The genius of InvoiSIS lies in its interactivity. You're not just reading about sibling dynamics, you're participating in them. The microsite lets you:
- Select from dozens of hilarious, relatable favours
- Generate a personalised invoice
- Pair it with a Flipkart wishlist
- Share it on social media or send it directly to your brother
It's a seamless blend of sentiment and shopping, with just the right amount of sass.
Financial Literacy Meets Family Drama
The campaign is spearheaded by a short digital film with CA Rachana Ranade, who walks viewers through the concept with her signature mix of clarity and charm. It's not every day you see a popular Chartered Accountant encouraging you to bill your sibling for “emotional damage” and “wardrobe losses”.
But that's the brilliance of it. InvoiSIS doesn't just make you laugh, it makes you think. It introduces the idea of emotional value in a way that's accessible, funny, and deeply resonant.
Why It Works
- Relatability: Every Indian sibling has lived at least half of the items on that invoice.
- Humour with Heart: It's witty without being mean, sarcastic yet sentimental.
- Empowerment: It gives sisters a voice and a price tag for their often-overlooked contributions.
- Smart Integration: The wishlist feature ties the emotional value to actual gifting, nudging brothers towards more thoughtful presents.
The Bigger Picture
Beyond the laughs, InvoiSIS is part of a larger cultural shift. It challenges the one-sided narrative of Rakhi and celebrates the mutuality of sibling relationships. It's not about flipping the power dynamic, it's about recognising that sisters have always been protectors too, just in quieter, more consistent ways.
And while the invoices are fictional, the sentiment is very real. Whether your brother buys you that ₹21,000 gift or not, the act of creating the invoice is cathartic. It's a celebration of everything you've done, big and small, and a reminder that your efforts matter.
So, What's Your Ehsaan Value?
This Rakhi, don't just tie a rakhi and wait for a gift. Head to www.invoisis4rakhi.com, build your invoice, and send it with pride. Whether it results in a new phone, a skincare kit, or just a sheepish “thank you” from your brother, it's a win.
And to all the brothers out there, if you receive an invoice this week, don't be surprised. It's probably long overdue.
