  • Godrej’s AI smart fridge rolls out the red velvet carpet for cooling

    Godrej’s AI smart fridge rolls out the red velvet carpet for cooling

    MUMBAI: If your fridge knew your midnight munchies were coming, would you still call it an appliance or a companion? Godrej & Boyce, the flagship of the Godrej Enterprises Group, is turning up the cool factor with the launch of its AI-powered Side-by-Side Eon Velvet refrigerators, a premium offering that’s as intuitive as it is stunning. The campaign, crafted by Creativeland Asia, isn’t just showing off another fridge, it’s showcasing a smart sidekick for your snacks, leftovers and late-night cravings.

    Running across TV, digital, social media, OOH and retail, the campaign taps into the modern Indian’s holy trinity of consumer expectations: convenience, technology, and sleek design. At the heart of the narrative is the fridge’s AI tech, which learns how often the doors are opened, adapts cooling based on what you stuff inside, and even saves energy while doing it.

    Speaking on this campaign Godrej Enterprises Group head of marketing at appliances business Swati Rathi said, “The modern Indian consumers evaluate all their purchases through the lens of convenience, technology and aesthetics and our new launch more than meets the consumer expectations on each of these fronts. With outstanding looks, inbuilt intelligence and convenience, the new Eon Velvet series is already winning consumer hearts at the stores and with the new video campaign, we are unveiling it to a wider audience.”

    The premium series is available in three eye-catching shades Opera Rose, Opera Black and Opera Blue and promises to double as both kitchen showstopper and silent workhorse. A digital touch panel, inverter compressor, and whisper-quiet cooling round out the list of features.

    From eye-level hoardings in top metros to influencer-led peeks inside these luxury coolers, the campaign aims to make a household appliance feel like a lifestyle upgrade.

    So if your fridge can now outsmart your snack habits and still match your kitchen aesthetics maybe it’s time to stop calling it “just a refrigerator.” The Eon Velvet is here, and it’s cool in every sense.

  • Godrej Appliances focuses on consumer experience in festive offering

    Godrej Appliances focuses on consumer experience in festive offering

    Mumbai: The Appliances business of Godrej & Boyce, part of Godrej Enterprises Group,announced its festive offers for the consumers taking forward the philosophy of “Things Made Thoughtfully” from products to brand’s festive season offerings as well. The brand has kept user experience at the heart of its festive promise.

    On one hand, with better financing options, customers are increasingly willing to upgrade and invest in premium appliances and appliances’ life has witnessed a decline; on the other hand, research indicates that warranty, durability and after sales service continues to be key factors for consumers when buying appliances. This explains the growing Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) sales in the industry particularly in categories like air conditioners which witness heavy usage given the high heat levels in the country. Unfortunately, hidden charges and complex terms in many of the warranties available in the market detract from the consumer’s long-term experience.

    Addressing this need, Godrej Appliances has introduced  five year comprehensive warranty for Split Air Conditioners at no extra cost. This free warranty, worth Rs 7990/-, offers complete coverage with no hidden fees, no registrations, ensures that customers are protected against additional costs like gas charging, technician visits etc. The goal is simple: to provide a worry-free, delightful experience across the product’s life.

    Apart from this, the brand also announced extended warranties on products like refrigerators and washing machines. The brand is also offering exciting promotions across its range, including cashback schemes up to Rs 12000/-, and flexible financing options, including no-cost EMIs and zero down payments.

    Godrej Appliances business head & executive VP Kamal Nandi commented on the initiative, saying, “At Godrej Appliances, we believe in offering not just superior products but also unmatched service and customer value. Our honest-offer of a five year comprehensive warranty on Split Air Conditioners is a significant step in ensuring that our customers can enjoy long-term comfort with complete peace of mind, free from any hidden costs.”

    In addition to the campaign, Godrej Appliances is also offering an array of AI-powered appliances designed to optimise performance and enhance convenience, high-capacity models across segments tapping into the premiumisation trend and new attractive designs for consumers to pick from.

  • Godrej Security & Solutions products have evolved over the last 125 years: Pushkar Gokhale

    Godrej Security & Solutions products have evolved over the last 125 years: Pushkar Gokhale

    Mumbai: The security solutions business of Godrej & Boyce, part of Godrej Enterprises Group has introduced its new ‘Khushiyon Ke Rakhwale’ campaign. The campaign highlighted the brand’s commitment to securing homes and ensuring the protection of what matters the most. With innovative and reliable home security solutions that provide peace of mind for families across India, the campaign aims to emphasise the emotional comfort that comes with knowing people’s loved ones are well-protected.

    Indiantelevsion.com caught up with Godrej & Boyce EVP and business head of the security solutions business Pushkar Gokhale who gave an overall brief of the campaign and lot more!

    Edited excerpts

    On the inspiration behind this campaign

    In developing our campaign, we conducted research to explore the correlation between happiness and security. We aimed to determine whether such a connection exists and, if so, to what extent. This led us to survey 2,400 customers to understand this relationship, which ultimately shaped the direction of our campaign. For the past 125 years, Godrej Security & Solutions has evolved its products to enhance people’s safety and security. Discovering a link between happiness and safety inspired us to position ourselves as a brand that “secures your happiness.” This is how the seeds of our campaign were planted. Previously, we focused on “Desh ki Tijori,” and now we’re excited to launch “Khushiyon ke Rakhwale,” perfectly timed for the festive season.

    On some key features

    We are continually innovating, and this campaign is no exception. Our strategy includes leveraging digital media, social media platforms, OTT channels, and television. Additionally, we plan to execute on-ground activations, taking advantage of our 5,000 retail counters nationwide to raise awareness and engage consumers through an omnichannel approach. Our e-commerce growth also supports this initiative.

    On the crucial aspect of this campaign

    Awareness is a crucial aspect of our campaign, especially since our research revealed a prevalent mindset among customers: “Nothing will happen to me.” We aim to educate them that security incidents can happen to anyone and emphasize the importance of preparedness. Our product range addresses security at various levels—from home entry points to the heart of the home, represented by our secure lockers. With rising jewelry and gold prices, protecting these valuable items becomes imperative; neglecting security invites potential theft.

    On the growing technology incorporated in this market

    We prioritize consumer research, as our customers increasingly view technology as integral to security, particularly in the banking and jewelry sectors. To meet these needs, we have enhanced our products with smart technology, incorporating artificial intelligence and IoT capabilities.

    Any particular challenge for the security solutions market

    One challenge we face in the home locker category is that, while we hold an 80 per cent market share, our focus should shift from simply increasing market share to expanding the market size itself. This requires increasing product adoption and building the category, as there are numerous substitutes available. Many customers still resort to hiding valuables in mattresses or temple houses—basic tactics that any burglar would recognize. We are committed to educating our customers about the importance of proper security solutions.

    On future plans and other innovations

    Moreover, our product development is driven by consumer research. For instance, our digital home locks have evolved from basic keypads to incorporating biometric access and multiple security features. We are also working on innovations that allow mobile phones to serve as keys, utilizing one-time passwords for added security. These technological advancements will continue to evolve as part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing home security.

Ever since inception, at Godrej Appliances, we have endeavored to provide Indian consumers innovation that is designed to solve their specific problems. The same is reflected in our philosophy of ‘Soch Ke Banaya Hai’ or ‘Things Made Thoughtfully.’ With this engaging outdoor campaign, we aim to build on our consumers’ pride in the brand’s deep rooted Indianness and its commitment to innovation and technology.”

    This campaign is being executed in collaboration with Madison Outdoor Media Solutions and 3 Scratch Films ensuring widespread visibility and impactful communication.

This quirky ad campaign aims to redefine the traditional mindset associated with safeguarding valuables during travel seasons, urging individuals to rely on logic rather than magic.

    The underlying theme of the campaign, Magic pe nahi, Logic pe bharosa rakho, is a clear call to travellers to prioritise rationality over faith when it comes to securing valuables.

Our campaign challenges traditional beliefs by promoting a logical approach to home security. We aim to empower individuals to make informed decisions, alleviating travel anxieties. With advanced Home Lockers offering comprehensive security, we redefine safeguarding valuables. Prioritizing convenience and logic over traditional methods, we instil trust in our customers. Our ultimate goal is to ensure peace of mind by Securing Happiness wherever the travellers go.”

    The campaign, designed to be an ever-present fixture, recognizes the perpetual nature of travel planning among Indian households. With travel becoming a year-round pursuit, the messaging of “Secure Your Home While You Roam” remains relevant regardless of the season.

    With an expected 20 per cent increase in revenue from the travel season, largely contributed by the metro cities, Godrej Security Solutions anticipates a significant uptake of its Advanced Range Home Lockers among discerning consumers seeking reliable security solutions. Wherein, Godrej Security Solutions’ NX Advanced Home Lockers boast a triple locking system comprising digital, biometric, and mechanical, ensuring top-notch security. They come with additional features like an inbuilt ibuzz alarm, voice acknowledgments, low battery indicator, master password, and mechanical override key, catering to users of all ages.

The series of three films capture Godrej Interio’s wide range of aesthetically designed furniture crafted to suit the needs of modern Indian families, their dynamics, lifestyle, and aspirations, showcasing stories about tailored solutions for personal spaces.

This journey transitions into them visiting the store, illustrating the seamless fusion of imagination and reality – ‘If it’s on your mind, you will get it at the Godrej Interio store’. The second film provides audiences with a glimpse of the abundant choices and personalisation options available for a sofa at Godrej Interio. From multiple fabric options to various designs and layout choices, customers can choose sofas to suit their preferences. Lastly, the third film invites viewers into the heart of the home – the kitchen. Through a charming vignette, a couple’s playful banter over breakfast leads them to the Godrej Interio Kitchen Gallery, where they discover the perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics tailored to their tastes and needs.

    Speaking about the films, Godrej Interio head of marketing communications Sumeet Bhojani said, “Godrej Interio continues to be an integral part of modern Indian families and their journey towards personalization. We offer our consumers a wide range of furniture catering to their needs. For instance, our latest range of Upmods furniture offers endless customisation possibilities of each component to the consumers. Our latest campaign gives you a glimpse of a varied range of furniture and furnishing solutions that the brand has to offer right from the colours to the material of the furniture. At Godrej Interio, we firmly believe in empowering customers to create spaces that reflect their unique personalities. Through these films, we invite viewers to embark on a journey of discovery and creativity with us. This approach has enabled us to build and maintain the love and support of consumers for over a century.”

    Contract Mumbai executive VP & general manager Ayan Chakraborty, shares the inspiration behind the commercial, “Summer is a great season and a reason to refresh our homes, also because the new year is celebrated across many states in the country. The Godrej Interio Summer Vibe campaign focuses on kitchens, sofas and other furniture in a series of 3 films. The Indian consumer is both particular and fastidious about her choices when it comes to choosing a kitchen build or furniture and Godrej Interio with its extensive range of designs, materials, colours and configurations delivers on this mindset quite seamlessly.”

    The brand has attractive schemes offering 35% off on their range of furniture. The campaign consists of 3 videos and will be available in 5 regional languages – Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Malayalam, and Tamil in addition to English and Hindi.
