We continuously explore avenues to reduce waste, transition to more sustainable materials, while simultaneously making a meaningful contribution to communities. The repurposing of billboard materials into school bags exemplifies our dedication to achieving both of these goals in an innovative and impactful manner. This endeavour not only marks a significant stride for us toward strengthening sustainable practices but also underscores our dedication to creating a significant positive impact within our communities.”

    Discussing the campaign, OMD India Team CEO Anisha Iyer expressed her delight, “As people’s mindsets increasingly shift from a consumerist approach to one that’s more conscious and intent-driven, advertising’s focus on sustainability gets stronger than ever. We see Happy Bags as not just a campaign but a heartwarming step towards sustainable practices for McDonald’s. Channelling the Indian spirit, we’re pleased to be emphasizing the need for innovative approaches to driving social and environmental impact.”

  • “Saath saath naye Prabhat ki or –” – Prasoon Joshi pens lyrics for PRADAN’s anthem on collaboration

    “Saath saath naye Prabhat ki or –” – Prasoon Joshi pens lyrics for PRADAN’s anthem on collaboration

    Mumbai: Celebrated lyricist and Padma Shri Award winner, Prasoon Joshi, known for his popular, chart-busting songs of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Rang De Basanti and Taare Zameen Par, to name just a few, wielded his magic to write the lyrics for PRADAN, a leading NGO in the country working with tribal and backward communities. The “Anthem” celebrated the spirit of collaboration and working together – a value PRADAN espouses in all the development work it engages in. Prasoon’s strong social conscience is reflected in the work he has earlier done for campaigns like Malnutrition, Polio Eradication, Women Empowerment, Child Rights, Swachh Bharat and more.

    PRADAN executive director  Saroj Kumar Mahapatra said, “Collaboration and partnerships are key to PRADAN’s growing outreach among the tribal and rural women that we work with. Over our 40 years of working with marginalized communities in the Central India Tribal belt, we have partnered with over 110 Civil Society Organizations, more than 70 Foundations, Private Philanthropies and Corporations and various National, State, District and Local government institutions to multiply the impact of the government’s development schemes and programs. The anthem penned by Prasoon Joshi is our celebration of that spirit of working together, and of empowered communities who have striven continuously to carve out a brighter future for themselves, and for the societies that they live in”.

    “Song composition and film production are highly collaborative efforts, and the magic happens only when various parts of the team come together seamlessly to create a symphony of sorts. I am highly appreciative of the part that PRADAN and many such organizations are playing in supporting sustainable, inclusive development work in the country by coming together, thinking together and working together to help India realize some of its SDGs while engaging with communities at the grassroots and finding local solutions for local problems. The anthem is my way of showing support to the cause of collaborative problem solving”, reflected Prasoon on his motivation to pen the anthem lyrics.

    Indian filmmaker Kireet Khurana winner of six president’s National Film Awards and 18 international awards for his cinematic works, who directed the film under his banner – Climb Media, exuded, “Conceptualising the film was a challenge as development work is so profound and generational changing that it is difficult to capture its widespread impact. Executing the film was another major challenge, as I wanted to cast the actual tribal villagers that PRADAN and its partner organizations work with, and get them to do role plays, without making the film look contrived. It was also my responsibility to make the film stimulating without losing its earthy and realistic feel. Prasoon’s soulful lyrics really helped elevate the visualisation to the next level. I hope the film will motivate development agencies and communities to work together to empower and help transform the lives of the people in what was hitherto an impoverished hinterland.”

    The film captures the empowering essence of collaboration, even as it briefly “Relives” the moments of self-doubt that the underserved, marginalised communities are faced with while looking to create a better future for themselves. The film, strung together by a highly inspiring song, traverses the journey of the state (sarkar), funding organizations (bazar) and the civil society (samaj) actors coming together to support the communities to help them realize their vision of a better, brighter tomorrow (“Naya prabhat”).

    Mumbai: In the rapidly evolving payments landscape, ensuring security and trust is paramount. This helps maintain user confidence, provides protection against financial threats, and ensures compliance with regulatory standards. Reiterating its commitment to safety and security, Razorpay omnichannel payments and banking platform for businesses launched its biggest digital ad campaign featuring Gulshan Grover, and Urvashi Dholakia on its social platforms – YouTube, LinkedIn, X (previously Twitter), and Instagram. With 692 million internet users, India has the world’s second-largest Internet user base. This growing digitisation also makes the country a target for fraudulent activities.

Furthermore, it aims to empower end-consumers with essential information for making informed decisions when engaging with a business through digital transactions.

    The ad films of thirty seconds each, conceptualised and brought to life by Tilt Brand Solutions, a Mumbai-based creative agency, showcase two different scenarios wherein customers who are trying to make online purchases are skeptical of going through with the payments, wondering if their card details would be stolen or if the business was legitimate to engage with at the first place; Gulshan Grover and Urvashi Dholakia play the role of unethical business owners who aggravate the insecurities of these customers. The customers then realise that these businesses are safe and secure with the Razorpay trust marker and are KYC verified, giving them the utmost confidence to make the purchase.

We believe it’s our responsibility to empower our merchants with the right products and services, enabling them to deliver a reliable and protected customer experience. This campaign aims to cultivate a profound sense of confidence, emphasizing our commitment to providing a dependable and secure digital payment experience. It underscores our dedication to raising awareness about the critical significance of security in online transactions. This initiative goes beyond a mere endorsement; it mirrors our steadfast commitment to shaping a safer and more trustworthy online transaction environment for all.”

    TILT Brand Solutions chief creative officer Adarsh Atal said, “We’re proud to partner with Razorpay to champion their commitment to empowering businesses. This commitment encompasses the cultivation of trust, safety, and security for the millions of businesses they serve. In line with this, trust, the cornerstone of all transactions, takes centre stage in the two-part ad series featuring the uncanny and dynamic duo of Gulshan Grover and Urvashi Dholakia. Drawing parallels between the safety measures in online transactions and the confidence Razorpay instills, each ad is a visual and narrative masterpiece with a unique twist, capturing attention, while underscoring the importance of a secure payment experience”,

    With almost every transaction happening in the virtual world, businesses must ensure seamless, hassle-free payment experiences for their customers offline and online. This includes real-time reconciliation, reduction in time per transaction, minimal failures while ensuring a risk-free environment. Keeping this and a fast-evolving dynamic regulatory environment in mind, Razorpay effectively and efficiently solves payment complexities that businesses go through daily, making it a one-stop shop for everything payments and banking for businesses.
