    Alkem Laboratories’ ‘Healthy Lungs’ campaign aims to clear the air

    Mumbai: With the onset of winter, India’s air quality takes a dangerous plunge, exposing its citizens to heightened levels of pollution and a surge in pulmonary stress. As the world grapples with environmental challenges, Alkem Laboratories spread awareness about the harrowing issue of winter pollution and its adverse effects impacting stress on lungs called pulmonary stress through its campaign ‘Healthy Lungs.’

    Winter in India not only brings chilly temperatures but also an alarming rise in air pollution. Recent studies reveal that 14 out of the 20 most polluted cities globally are located in India, with air pollution levels escalating during the winter season. This, in turn, contributes to rising cases of pulmonary stress causing exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma, during the colder months. Data from the World Health Organization underscores the urgency of this campaign, indicating that over a million people succumb to air pollution-related diseases in India annually.

    Alkem Laboratories Ltd president and head of acute business Sudipta Roy expressed the importance of their ongoing campaign, ‘Healthy Lungs,’ which can be accessed at www.thehealthylungs.com. Mr. Roy stated, “The statistics are staggering. Air pollution in India resulted in 1.67 million deaths in 2019, marking the largest pollution-related death toll in any country worldwide. The economic losses associated with this crisis amounted to a staggering $36.8 billion. We cannot afford to turn a blind eye to these alarming figures.”

    What sets India apart is the extent to which air pollution exceeds international guidelines. On average, India’s cities surpass the World Health Organization’s recommended limits for PM 2.5 in the atmosphere by a staggering 500 per cent. This dangerous phenomenon can be attributed to emissions from vehicular traffic, the burning of fossil fuels in households, particularly by economically disadvantaged families, and the fumes emanating from waste burning. The consequences are devastating, especially for those living in densely populated urban areas.

    ‘Healthy Lungs’ aims to raise awareness about the gravity of the situation and empower citizens with the knowledge and tools to protect their respiratory health during the challenging winter months. The initiative will focus on advocating for cleaner air and providing guidance on mitigating exposure to harmful pollutants. The initiative also conducts >600 camps and clinics across India to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of respiratory ailments. These timely interventions have started making a significant difference in managing respiratory conditions like Asthma and COPD. Additionally, Alkem Laboratories will work towards promoting research and development in the field of respiratory medicine to provide innovative solutions and therapies for those affected by pulmonary stress.

    “By launching this campaign, Alkem Laboratories Limited is taking a proactive role in combating the dire consequences of winter pollution in India. The company believes that every individual has the right to breathe clean and healthy air, regardless of the season. Together, we can make a significant impact in reducing the pulmonary stress that plagues our nation during the winter months,” added Sudipta Roy.

    Social Panga and Himalaya Men unite for ‘RemindHer’ Breast Cancer campaign

    Mumbai: Himalaya Men, a vertical of Himalaya Wellness Company, has launched #RemindHer, an initiative to raise awareness around breast cancer. Launched during October, observed as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the campaign urges men to reach out to women in their life to Remind them to take care of themselves.

    In India, one woman in every 4 minutes gets diagnosed with Breast Cancer and Himalaya Men created a movement where men joined hands to remind the women in their lives to take the first step towards prevention and recognition through self-examination. Built on the simple insight of how in a society where women recall myriad details, from birthdays to the smallest of life’s milestones, one thing they frequently overlook is self-care.

    As part of the activity, Himalaya Men has created a microsite where men can write customized messages and share the self-examination steps with women they care for. Women can also log in and take tests themselves. The site takes them through a step-by-step process on the correct method of self-diagnosis and noticing lumps. These first steps of self-examination, help in early detection and can be life-saving. To promote the website, a heart-touching film has also been made that speaks of the insight in an engaging, relatable manner.

    On the launch of #RemindHer, Social Panga creative director Archana Sudarsan said, “Being a woman, I know the thought of taking care of self comes the last to our breed. This campaign is an attempt to get men to join the fight against breast cancer and give women a little more motivation to examine, investigate and stay safe. Because if not for self, we as humans do things for others, that we love and care for. We hope to touch many lives, create more awareness and help women stay safe.”

    On launching and working on this campaign, Himalaya Face Wash brand manager Manik Sharma said, “It is said that women don’t forget anything easily, but we often see that with their daily hustle, their health takes a back seat. October is observed as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Himalaya Men wants to make sure that Men of this nation don’t let women forget their health this time. This campaign is an urge to every man to remind every woman in his life to self-assess herself and educate other women in her life.”

  • Sleepwell revolutionises sleep tech with Pro Nexa Mattress launch

    Sleepwell revolutionises sleep tech with Pro Nexa Mattress launch

    Mumbai: Sleepwell, India’s leading and most trusted mattress brand is changing the way we sleep with the launch of its latest Pro Nexa Mattress. It’s a quantum leap in sleep technology and a game-changing breakthrough that renders the prevalent memory foam outdated. Pro Nexa Mattress, with its ‘enhanced body recovery’ proprietary technology, the first of its kind in India, offers superior comfort as compared to memory foam.

    The Pro Nexa Mattress is being launched through a nationwide ad campaign featuring the culinary expert and renowned TV personality, Kunal Vijaykar. The campaign showcases the key difference between Sleepwell Pro Nexa mattress and memory foam mattress by using the creative analogy of dough versus bread. Earlier this month, Sleepwell kicked off the ‘Did You Sleepwell’ campaign to nudge people into caring about the comfort of others. Now, it is bolstering the same with this product-centric campaign for the launch of Pro Nexa Mattress.

    Conceptualised by Sideways, the analogy of dough vs. bread, comparing Pro Nexa Mattress with memory foam, is both simple and intuitive enough for everyone to understand and it captures how a body gets stuck in traditional memory foam by depicting it as fingers sinking into dough, highlighting the discomfort and immobility. In contrast, the Sleepwell Pro Nexa’s easy body movement is beautifully depicted using the soft bouncing bread, conveying the unparalleled comfort and freedom of movement it offers.

    Speaking about the campaign, Sheela Foam Pvt Ltd CEO Nilesh Mazumdar said, “Sleepwell has always been at the forefront of foam and sleep technology. With the launch of our latest Pro Nexa mattress, with ‘enhanced body recovery’ technology, we’re not just redefining comfort; we’re delivering on a promise of unparalleled sleep quality. Our relentless pursuit of innovation not only delivers most comfortable sleep but also drives business growth and further solidifies our position as the leader in the sleep industry.”

    Further elaborating, Sideways founder Abhijit Avasthi said, “Pro Nexa technology offers a clear palpable superior experience over age-old memory foam. The challenge was to bring out this difference in an easy, non-technical and relatable manner. Food and sleep are areas that interest everyone and that’s why we thought of this metaphor. We hope it will intrigue viewers enough to try out Pro Nexa mattresses.”

    With over 30 years of rich professional experience, Altivyst Advisors founder Vivek Sharma has been roped in as a marketing consultant for Sheela Foam where he is helping shape the marketing strategy and organisation. Sharma added, “Pro Nexa by Sleepwell introduces people to a kind of sleep they have not experienced before and thus, it creates a new need segment by doing this. Nexa is to mattress what touchscreen or flip technology was to mobile phones.”

    Launched in 1994, Sleepwell is the leading brand of mattress and home comfort products that has held its ground amidst growing competition from online and offline brands and carries immense trust among consumers, retailers, and traders alike. It has a nationwide presence with a robust distribution network of exclusive retail outlets, multi-brand outlets and distributors.
