  • India Runs on Valour in Red FM and Army’s Shauryaveer 2025 Event

    India Runs on Valour in Red FM and Army’s Shauryaveer 2025 Event

    MUMBAI: They say courage marches on but this time, it’s running. The Indian Army, in partnership with Red FM, is taking patriotism off the parade ground and onto the streets with Shauryaveer 2025 Run for India, a heart-thumping tribute to bravery, fitness, and national unity. Set to flag off on 26 October 2025, the event marks the 79th Shaurya Diwas, commemorating the indomitable spirit of India’s armed forces. But Shauryaveer isn’t just a run, it’s a stride of solidarity, a living reminder that the nation’s real heartbeat lies in the courage of its soldiers and the people who stand beside them.

    The Delhi Cantonment will come alive as citizens run shoulder to shoulder with jawans, each kilometre echoing with pride and purpose. The event features four run categories 21 km, 10 km, 5 km, and 3 km, ensuring that everyone, from seasoned athletes to first-time runners, finds their pace in this patriotic marathon.

    More than an endurance event, Shauryaveer 2025 channels the essence of the Fit India Movement, transforming fitness into a shared act of tribute. The route may be measured in kilometres, but the emotion that powers it stretches far beyond.

    In a country where soldiers embody selflessness, the initiative bridges the gap between uniformed valour and civilian admiration. For many participants, it’s not about crossing the finish line first, it’s about carrying the spirit of unity every step of the way.

    Red FM & Magic FM, director and COO Nisha Narayanan captured the campaign’s soul best: “Shauryaveer 2025 Run for India is a powerful tribute to the Indian Army, where every kilometre is a stride of unity, pride, and remembrance. What makes it truly special is the opportunity for citizens to run alongside our Armed Forces, celebrating the values that bind us as one nation.”

    She added, “At Red FM, we feel honoured to be associated with this initiative and to carry its message across the length and breadth of the country. I urge everyone to come forward, take part, and show their support for the Indian Army through this remarkable initiative.”

    From morning warm-ups to the sound of sneakers pounding the pavement, Shauryaveer promises a morning where discipline meets celebration. It’s where slogans of “Jai Hind” replace finish-line cheers and medals carry the weight of emotion rather than metal.

    And while the run honours the military’s unflinching courage, it also celebrates something larger the spirit of togetherness that fuels India’s everyday heroes. It’s a reminder that fitness, much like freedom, thrives when shared.

    Behind the event’s beat is Red FM, India’s largest private radio and entertainment network, known for being “hyper-local, hyper-vocal” with its trademark attitude Bajaate Raho! With over two decades of legacy and 663 award-winning campaigns, Red FM has long championed social causes that resonate with the pulse of the nation.

    This partnership with the Indian Army takes that spirit a notch higher turning airwaves into avenues for action. From radio promos to digital buzz, Red FM’s footprint ensures the message of Shauryaveer reaches every corner of the country.

    Registrations are open on Red FM’s official website and India Running, inviting citizens across age groups and cities to join this marathon of meaning. Whether you run three kilometres or twenty-one, every step becomes a salute, every breath a pledge.

    Because in Shauryaveer 2025, it’s not just about running for fitness, it’s about running for India.

  • Goodness Glows Brighter in Khetika’s Heart-Warming Diwali Tale

    Goodness Glows Brighter in Khetika’s Heart-Warming Diwali Tale

    MUMBAI: Who says sparkle only comes from diyas and fairy lights? This Diwali, Khetika, the clean label food brand known for its preservative-free goodness, reminds us that the purest glow comes from the heart. In its new digital film, ‘Acchai Se Farak Padta Hai’, the brand swaps glamour for grace showing how small acts of kindness can make festivals shine brighter than ever.

    Set in a modern Indian home buzzing with pre-Diwali excitement, the film unfolds like a slice of life. Children run about rehearsing the Ramayan toy bows in hand, paper crowns slightly askew, and faces painted with mischievous moustaches. In the kitchen, Shabari, the house help, stirs a pot of creamy kheer, rich with Khetika dry fruits, a symbol of prosperity, purity, and the quiet care that anchors every home.

    The story takes an unexpected turn when the little boy playing Ram innocently asks, “Diwali to aapke ghar mein bhi hai na?,” a line that lands softer than a diya flame, yet lights up the room with realisation. His words stop everyone in their tracks, including his mother, who pauses amid the festive bustle to reflect on what truly matters.

    In that simple moment, the scene shifts from routine festivity to emotional awakening. The mother offers Shabari a bowl of kheer, garnished with the same Khetika dry fruits she had been cooking with, and hands her a Khetika gift box not as a token, but as an act of gratitude.

    The message lands beautifully: rituals may brighten homes, but it’s goodness acchai that lights up lives.

    Explaining the thought behind the campaign Khetika CEO Prithwi Singh shared, “This digital film is deeply personal to us because it mirrors what Khetika stands for purity, honesty, and inclusivity. With ‘Acchai Se Farak Padta Hai’, we wanted to remind people that true celebrations go beyond rituals and decorations.”

    He adds, “Just as our preservative-free dry fruits add natural goodness to something as simple as kheer, kindness and gratitude bring depth to our relationships and traditions. We hope the campaign inspires people to celebrate with authenticity and goodness this festive season.”

    Conceptually simple yet emotionally rich, the campaign weaves nostalgia and modernity together much like its setting. It’s a Diwali film that doesn’t preach or posture; it simply reflects what many households overlook in the festive rush.

    Directed and executed by The Luminant Media, the film’s tone is warm, inclusive, and refreshingly real. Instead of glossy perfection, it leans on the familiar, the aroma of kheer, the laughter of children, and the unspoken bonds that tie families and helpers together.

    The campaign doubles as a reflection of Khetika’s clean label promise purity not just in ingredients, but in intent. By rooting its festive message in emotional honesty rather than marketing sheen, Khetika positions itself as more than just a brand, it becomes a reminder that goodness, when chosen consciously, multiplies.

    This year, as homes shimmer with fairy lights and silver trays overflow with sweets, Khetika invites families to make acchai part of their rituals. To pause, reflect, and share not just gifts, but genuine gratitude.

    Because as the brand so gently puts it, they’ll always have something to say, but what truly matters is what you do with purity, honesty, and heart.

  • Sole Searching as Kriti Sanon Steps Up in Campus’ You Go Girl! Drive

    Sole Searching as Kriti Sanon Steps Up in Campus’ You Go Girl! Drive

    MUMBAI: Who needs a red carpet when you can strut through stereotypes and crush them in style? Campus Activewear is back with the second edition of its unapologetically bold “You Go, Girl!” campaign this time with Kriti Sanon leading the charge and proving that walking your own path never goes out of fashion.

    After a hit first chapter that nudged women to own their sense of style, the latest edition of You Go, Girl! dives deeper. It’s no longer about what you wear, it’s about how you move through the world. The campaign celebrates freedom from labels and the quiet confidence of simply being yourself not who the world tells you to be.

    The campaign film, led by National Award-winning actor Kriti Sanon, captures a universal moment every woman knows too well that invisible tug of being defined by others. Kriti enters a bright, airy lobby only to be surrounded by a storm of floating labels: Too ambitious. Too bold. Opinionated. Drama Queen.

    But rather than breaking stride, she breaks barriers. Every step she takes in her oh-so-stylish Campus shoes bursts the stereotypes trying to hold her back. When she finally strides through with a smile and says, “Damn good shoes, yaar!”, the line lands with playful defiance. It’s cheeky, it’s confident, and it’s utterly real.

    The film closes with Campus’ empowering call to action “They’ll always have something to say. You Go, Girl. Move Your Way.” It’s not a slogan; it’s a mindset.

    At the heart of the campaign lies Campus’ belief that authenticity is the new power move. Speaking about the initiative, Campus Activewear Ltd. CEO and whole time director Nikhil Aggarwal said, “You Go, Girl! celebrates women who move through life on their own terms, unbothered by labels and defined by their choices. That sense of self-belief not only inspired the campaign but also lies at the heart of Campus.”

    He added that the brand’s ideology, Move Your Way, mirrors the same conviction that every step taken with confidence counts. “This campaign encourages women to take the most powerful stride, the one that feels like their own,” Aggarwal said.

    For Kriti Sanon, the campaign hit close to home. “Every woman has been told who she should be, how to act, how to look, how far to go,” she said. “‘You Go, Girl!’ resonated with me because it reflects my journey of rising above judgments, but also the everyday reality of so many women who do the same.”

    Her message? Walk tall, walk free, and don’t let the noise define your steps. “It’s about owning your choices and moving with confidence, no matter what labels come your way,” she added. “Campus has always stood for individuality and authenticity, and that’s what makes this collaboration special. Together we’re sending out a message that goes beyond fashion, one that celebrates confident self-expression.”

    Behind the campaign’s cinematic flair is Wondrlab, chief creative officer and managing partner Hemant Shringy who shaped the concept with refreshing simplicity. “Labels are meant to define until you stop listening to them,” Shringy explained. “We wanted to show that truth in a light and real way. Kriti moves through those stereotypes effortlessly, proving that confidence isn’t about proving anything, it’s about knowing who you are and moving your way.”

    It’s this blend of relatability and rebellion that makes You Go, Girl! stand out, it doesn’t preach; it performs.

    The campaign is being rolled out through a 360-degree amplification across television, print, digital, outdoor, and retail touchpoints ensuring the message walks straight into every corner of the country. From billboards to Instagram reels, Campus is taking its philosophy of movement without limits quite literally.

    And if the brand’s earlier campaigns are anything to go by, You Go, Girl! will find its stride with both young urban consumers and small-town dreamers who see movement as a metaphor for freedom.

    In a world where women are still asked to fit neatly into boxes, Campus’ latest campaign doesn’t just untie the laces, it kicks the box away. With Kriti Sanon at the helm, You Go, Girl! becomes more than a catchy tagline, it’s a rallying cry for confidence, self-expression, and a little sass.

    After all, as Kriti proves with every step the best way to silence the labels is to walk right past them.

Life can change in an instant, and the right health insurance can make all the difference. Policybazaar has given me the platform to share our journey, and I hope more and more people see this and start taking health insurance seriously. No family should have to face such a crisis unprepared.”

    Policybazaar head – brand marketing Samir Sethi added, “At Policybazaar, we’ve always believed that the true impact of insurance lies in the lives it transforms. Ashray’s story is a powerful reminder that health insurance is more than a policy, it’s a shield that protects families from life’s most unpredictable challenges.
