    Bajaj Finance launches campaign, ‘Har Time Emi On Time’

    Mumbai: The lending arm of Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finance Limited has launched a public awareness initiative ‘Har Time EMI On Time’. The digital campaign aims to drive awareness around the needs and benefits of adopting good financial habits for a healthy financial future. The digital, multilingual campaign will be seen across all the digital properties of Bajaj Finance Limited such as the website, social media platforms, customer portal, IVR, mobile app, and other media infotainment channels.

    The brand campaign features the endearing Gupta Ji, of ‘Savdhaan Rahein. Safe Rahein.’ fame teaching Tinku Ji, the simple ways of paying his monthly EMIs on time, in an entertaining and melodious style. Through Tinku Ji, the customers and the general public are made aware of the various consequences of non-payment or late payment of instalments and further draw attention to the need of making timely repayments to boost one’s credit score, as it may have an impact on making future borrowings easier.

    The campaign highlights the benefits of timely EMI payments, consequences of late EMI payments, ways to keep their credit score healthy for future borrowings and simplified meanings of key financial terminologies. It comes as an extension of its original educational series, ‘ABC of EMI’ launched during the observance of the Financial Literacy Week in February 2022, that articulated the simplified meaning of EMI and the various factors associated with it such as interest rate, zero down payment, credit score etc.

    The campaign seeks to educate the public at large about the benefits of paying their monthly loan EMIs on time and the negative side effects of missing their loan payments on their overall financial health in the long run. The campaign also focuses on the importance of adopting a disciplined habit of ensuring to adhere to payment commitments to enjoy the benefits of various financial offerings available in the market.

The new range of Bajaj fans are designed with technological innovation that offer a bouquet of consumer benefits, tailored to the varied demands of the new-age consumers.

  • Ogilvy & Bajaj Platina ComforTec 110 offer ‘Aaram Rath’ Rides at Kumbh 2019

    Ogilvy & Bajaj Platina ComforTec 110 offer ‘Aaram Rath’ Rides at Kumbh 2019

    MUMBAI:  Taking the proposition of ‘Jhatka Mana Hai’ , Bajaj has introduced the ‘Platina ComforTec 110 Aaram Rath’ at the 2019 edition of Kumbh Mela, the largest human congregation in the world. Organised in collaboration with Ogilvy, the ‘Aaram Rath’ is offering free ride services to the elderly and disabled pilgrims. At its core, the activity was designed to increase brand love.

    All Bajaj Platinas were retrofitted with custom-designed backrests that support the pillion on the back as well as the side for added feeling of safety. Engineering of this backrest was done keeping the one-sided seating especially suited for sari-clad women.

    Bajaj Auto vice president Narayan Sundararaman said, "With the new Bajaj Platina Comfortec 110, our focus has been to deliver the most comfortable ride experience in the category. No doubt that the motorcycle has much better power, acceleration, pick-up and braking. But a Platina stands for comfort. When we encountered this opportunity, we were clear that this activity will bring relief to people in need of help to reach the ghats, and that Platina is the right vehicle of choice for it. From there on, we worked on retro-fitting a secure two-sided back rest specially made for the audience. We are thrilled that this activity has been so well received. I can only imagine the countless blessings we have gathered along the way."

    Ogilvy India (West) office leader VR Rajesh noted, "It is not often that we get an opportunity of this scale and this nature. Kumbh Mela attracts people of myriad backgrounds and geographies. The locales and crowds make it very difficult for devotees to access different parts of the Kumbh city and the ghats. This is the challenge that excites us the most. Amongst all our brands, we picked Bajaj Platina as the perfect fit for the application. In our concrete jungles, Bajaj's Platina transports millions daily. All done in supreme comfort. In our latest film 'Jhatka Mana Hai' we made Platina the protagonist that is positioned to increase brand love for Bajaj. At Kumbh, Platina is the only two-wheeler that is saving the effort of navigating distances and crowds for thousands of needy. This is a perfect fit that will pave the way for many more such applications."

    Along the route allotted (Phaphamau Bus Stand to Naagvasuki Temple, Prayagraj) from where the Platina rider who is fondly called the ‘Aaram Rath Saarthi’ would ferry the old pilgrims and ride them safely to the Sangam Nose (confluence of the 3 sacred rivers) or the bathing ghats for a dip and also ride them back to the spot from where they were picked-up i.e bus stop on the outskirts of Kumbh which connects the whole of Prayagraj to the Kumbh City.

    The authorities at Kumbh gave a green signal to this activity and were all praise offering their complete support and co-operation.

  • Bajaj V’s new film paid homage to soldiers this Martyrs’ Day

    Bajaj V’s new film paid homage to soldiers this Martyrs’ Day

    MUMBAI: Bajaj V, the bike forged with the invincible metal of INS Vikrant launched the ‘Postcards of Pride’ film under its famous ‘Invincible Indians’ series.

    Through the film, Bajaj V asked all Indians to spare a moment to remember our martyrs who laid down their lives in military combat since 1947. It urged them to respect our martyrs’ memories, by lighting a candle outside their own homes at 8 pm on 23 March – Martyrs’ Day.

    22,000 of our soldiers have sacrificed their lives to protect our lands and borders, till date. Over the course of time, we as a nation, tend to move on with our grief of losing our brave men. One man, however, decided to honour our martyrs and their families’ great sacrifices. The campaign captures the story of Jitendra Singh Gurjar, a Surat-based security guard who has been writing postcards to martyrs’ families for the last 19 years. Till date, he has written letters to 4000 families. Through the film, Bajaj V conveyed a message of all Indians to come together on Martyrs’ Day at the same time to pay a tribute to our soldiers.

    Bajaj Auto vice president of marketing (Motorcycles) Sumeet Narang says, “Bajaj V has created invincible Indians, a platform to showcase the stories of solid Indians who, by their resolve and determination, performed extraordinary acts for our society. We feel that like Medicine Baba, Ambulance Dada and others, Jitendra Singh Gurjar is also a true invincible Indian and hope that his story will inspire millions of Indians to do their bit to pay tribute to our martyrs.”

    Leo Burnett South Asia chief creative officer Rajdeepak Das adds, “As humans, we are prone to grieve about something momentarily if it is far removed from our own lives. We fail to internalise that even a single martyr’s death is our collective misfortune; it is an eventuality that happened only to keep us safe. Bajaj V and Leo Burnett India wanted people to honour our soldiers’ memories and say a silent thanks to them on Martyrs’ Day. We may never become Jitendra Gurjar ourselves, but we can definitely try. The brand has done a brilliant job of paying homage to our forgotten heroes, and I’m sure this humankind idea will urge Indians to light a candle outside their homes on 23 March.”
