    Home Credit India looks to build brand resonance with ‘Zindagi Hit!’

    Mumbai: On the occasion of the Diwali festival, Home Credit India (HCIN), a local arm of the leading global consumer finance provider, launched its new brand campaign with the promise of “Zindagi Hit” as an effort to redefine brand connect with consumers in the endeavour to fulfil aspirations. This campaign comes on the heels of Home Credit India having completed 10 years in the Indian market as a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulated consumer non-banking financial company (NBFC) this year.

    The brand launched as a Diwali campaign film, symbolising its reinvigorated mission to empower people to live the life they want now and reposition HCIN as an enabler of fulfilling wishes and aspirations to bring the joy & happiness customers long for.

    Home Credit, in its decadal journey in India, has seen that consumers across income categories have the same expectations from life. However, consumers in low-income categories often keep these expectations suppressed or in waiting owing to constraints in purchasing power. Herein lies the value of Home Credit India, who financially empowers the underserved borrowers through easy and hassle-free loans that bring to reality every wish & aspiration. And when dreams come true, every life moment becomes a hit.

    Speaking about the new brand tagline this Diwali, Home Credit India chief marketing officer Ashish Tiwari said, “This year, as we complete a decade in India, we saw it as the right time to take the brand even closer to our customers. Based on the learning imbibed with the “ZindagiHit” tagline, we want to rejuvenate the meaning and connect the brand Home Credit with customers and potential loan seekers. A loan is an empowerment for the right use cases, and Home Credit strives to be the enabler in people’s lives to help them make dreams and aspirations a reality. This way, we at Home Credit India are working with our customers to enable them to make their “ZindagiHit.”

    The value proposition of Home Credit India’s brand campaign centres on traits such as optimism, progress, trustworthiness, transparency, and that of an enabler, making it a brand of choice when it comes to consumer loans. The festive campaign is live across digital platforms, including Home Credit’s social channels such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and on a popular OTT platform like MX Player.

    Adding to the fervour of the festive season and in an endeavour to boost consumer sentiments, this Diwali, Home Credit India makes “ZindagiHit” for customers on purchasing mobiles, consumer durables and home appliances worth at least Rs 20,000 from HCIN’s 50K+ points of sale (PoS) partner shops by giving out a 7.5 per cent cashback against the loan amount, which will directly be debited into the bank account.

    Home Credit India also recently launched a campaign “#10SaalBemisal” to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The campaign highlighted the brand’s decade-long journey in India and how they have been promoting financial inclusion by enabling credit penetration throughout the nation, resulting in the introduction of borrower-centric services and products like Safe Pay (payment holiday, no pre-payment penalty, and insurance), Care 360 (a holistic healthcare service protection product), Ujjwal EMI Card (the digital pre-set credit limit card), and more.

    Having built a strong brand presence in the country, Home Credit India is currently operating in over 625 cities, with a network of 53,000 PoS and a growing customer base of 15 million. A responsible consumer lender, Home Credit India has also engaged more than 3 million individuals through its financial literacy campaign “Paise Ki Paathshala” in order to foster a responsible borrowing culture in society at large.

  • Siti Cable could go prepaid within three months

    Siti Cable could go prepaid within three months

    MUMBAI: National multi system operator (MSO) Siti Cable is looking at options of going prepaid.

    While the MSO will test the viability of the model in Delhi first, it will also replicate it in other states, at a later stage. “What we have seen is that whatever we do in the Delhi market, when replicated outside, works well,” says Siti Cable CEO VD Wadhwa.

    The prepaid model that Siti Cable is looking at will be based on the local cable operator (LCO) depositing an advance to the MSO and then collecting the same from the consumer.  “We have given the power of managing the subscriber management system (SMS) to the LCO, so they can change packages or switch on or switch off boxes of customers who do not pay them the cable TV bill,” informs Wadhwa.
    The LCO according to the prepaid model will get the signals from the MSO so long as his credit balance remains. “The LCO will have to keep renewing his credit balance to get uninterrupted services, the moment his balance becomes zero, we will disconnect the signal,” he says.

    The LCOs through this model will have to find the defaulters and take corrective action accordingly. The key to moving prepaid is to give access of SMS to the LCOs.

    Not only this, going forward the LCOs can also make the system prepaid at their end by billing the customers in advance. This will also help the LCOs find out defaulters.

    While Siti Cable also has the option of recharging through their website, they have realised it upsets the LCOs. “We have to build the trust between the LCOs and MSO and let the LCO handle the customers,” he opines.

    Wadhwa is hopeful that the system will be in place within three months.
