  • Bajaj Pulsar rides into spotlight with a bold new message, Duniya Dekhti Hai. Tu Dikha

    Bajaj Pulsar rides into spotlight with a bold new message, Duniya Dekhti Hai. Tu Dikha

    MUMBAI – Bajaj Auto Ltd. has launched its latest campaign for Pulsar with a bold message for India’s youth: Duniya Dekhti Hai. Tu Dikha.

    Today’s youth are surrounded by secondhand experiences, be it through AI-generated content, influencer lives, or gamified thrills. But deep inside, they crave something real, raw, and felt first-hand.

    They don’t just want to watch someone else take risks. They want to feel the rush themselves. Because authenticity isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a rebellion.

    In a world chasing synthetic highs — reels, simulations, virtual thrills — Pulsar reignites the raw, unfiltered joy of real performance and real power. With every ride, it reminds riders what it feels like to achieve something genuinely thrilling — not virtually viewed, but physically conquered.

    The campaign urges viewers to break out of the spectator mindset – to put down their phones and pick up their imaginations. Because for this generation, the ease of consumption is a trap. It’s in the discomfort of creation that they come alive. Whether it’s content, ideas or identity, what it boils down to is that it’s new and unapologetically theirs.

    The film’s powerful imagery is supported by a compelling story: Pulsarmaniacs do not merely follow trends, they create them. Equipped with unparalleled power and precise performance, the Pulsar becomes more than a machine – it is a declaration; a call to action to join forces with those willing to take a stand, get noticed and assert themselves.

    Speaking on the occasion, Sumeet Narang, president, marketing, Bajaj Auto Ltd., said, “With ‘Duniya Dekhti Hai. Tu Dikha,’ we’re speaking to a generation that’s tired of borrowed experiences and filtered realities. Today’s youth crave the real rush — something raw, personal, and unfiltered. Pulsar has always stood with those who don’t just watch from the sidelines but choose to feel the thrill first-hand. This campaign is a tribute to that spirit — bold, original, and fiercely authentic.”

    At a time when blending in is easy and standing out takes guts, Pulsar refuses to settle for the ordinary. It stands against passivity, conformity, and being just another face in the crowd. It champions those who lead with originality, who create instead of copy and who ride not just to move but to make a mark. Because, Duniya Dekhti Hai. Tu Dikha.

  • Bajaj Auto launches new brand identity ”The World’s Favourite Indian”

    Bajaj Auto launches new brand identity ”The World’s Favourite Indian”

    MUMBAI: Bajaj Auto Ltd, India’s leading automobile company, has released its new identity as “The World’s Favourite Indian” to announce its dramatic transition from a domestic scooter maker to a global motorcycle powerhouse in only 17 years.

    The new brand identity would be communicated through a powerful marketing campaign on TV, outdoor, print, and digital media. The retail showrooms of Bajaj Auto motorcycles and commercial vehicles will also undergo a transformation with new signage and branding in line with the message of ‘The World’s Favourite Indian’.

    Commenting on this, managing director Rajiv Bajaj said, “Our international performance is a validation of our strategy of focus and differentiation. Our unwavering commitment toward building the best motorcycles in the world through design, technology, quality, and customer satisfaction has made us a truly global brand. Bajaj brand is not only the world’s favourite Indian but also perhaps the most illustrious ambassador for Make in India initiative of the Indian government.”

    He further added, “In only 17 years since the launch of Pulsar, we have become the third-largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, ahead of several Japanese and European brands that have been around for much longer. In any market around the world, when people think of motorcycles, they should think of Bajaj. That would help us achieve our vision of being a global motorcycle specialist.”

    The launch of the Pulsar from its Chakan plant in 2001 marked the beginning of this riveting global ride.  Building on its ‘Hamara Bajaj’ roots of providing trusted and reliable mobility solutions, the company has significantly invested in technology and innovation to design motorcycles that are loved not only in India but 70 countries around the world. It has grown to become India’s No.1 motorcycle exporter with 2 out of 3 bikes carrying a Bajaj badge. 40 per cent of the company’s revenue is coming from international markets. It has earned $13 billion of forex in the last 10 years and hit a milestone 2 million units of international sales in 2018.

    With 15 million motorcycles sold in over 70 countries, Bajaj Auto has set a benchmark for the ‘Make in India’ vision of the government. With availability and customer preference scaling from Russia and Malaysia to Argentina and Mexico, it is today possibly the largest Indian brand name in terms of customer purchase value.

  • Ogilvy creates campaign for Bajaj Platina

    Ogilvy creates campaign for Bajaj Platina

    MUMBAI: Taking the ‘jhatka-free’ story, from Bajaj Platina’s previous campaigns, a notch higher, Ogilvy has created yet another ‘edge of the seat’ thriller for the launch of the new Platina ComforTec 110. The ad shows a tale of two bomb squad technicians trying to find a solution for an un-diffusible bomb which is found in the middle of a busy city centre. With the ad, the brand aims to establish the new features of the higher torque engine, combi-braking system, and nitrox shock absorbers, a category first for the vehicle.

    Bajaj Auto Ltd VP marketing Narayan Sundararaman said, “In the commuter motorcycle segment where the focus is on ‘mileage’, Platina has differentiated itself by building a strong position as the most comfortable bike for the long-distance commute rider through its ‘jhatka mana hai’ communication. The new Platina 110 comes with features that enhance this comfort position with added features to deliver an ‘effortless riding’ experience to our buyers. The new ‘bomb squad’ TVC communicates this in a truly memorable way.”

    Ogilvy West chief creative officer Sukesh Nayak added, “Platina ComforTec’s DNA has always been quirky and entertaining. So this time around, we have chosen a truly unique plot. A bomb disposable squad member discovers the comfort and superior suspension of the new 110 Platina. And in the process leaves the audience thoroughly entertained.”

    Ogilvy Mumbai senior VP Nikhil Mohan said, “This wonderful piece of communication is the outcome of the great partnership with the team at Bajaj.  This campaign will definitely build salience and desirability for the new Platina 110.”

    Ogilvy also shared that the launch campaign along with the TVC and print would include social with an intensive geo-targeted Facebook campaign and other shareable content that entertains the viewer while driving the ‘most comfortable ride’ message home.
