    Polycab plugs into Ganesh Utsav with comfort zones and safety towers

    MUMBAI: Powering devotion with a human touch, Polycab is lighting up Mumbai’s ganesh utsav with installations that go well beyond wires and cables.

    This year, the brand has shifted gears from product promotions to people-first gestures, creating comfort zones, safety watch towers and breezy walkways at two of the city’s biggest festive hotspots, Lalbaugcha Raja and Juhu Beach.

    At Lalbaugcha Raja, where queues stretch for hours, Polycab has turned a regular bus stop into a “comfort zone” with mobile charging points and sheltered spaces offering respite from the city’s muggy weather. Devotees also find an experiential walkway with Polycab fans for a refreshing darshan route, and even a dedicated rest zone for Mumbai police personnel keeping the crowds in order.

    Meanwhile at Juhu Beach, a prime immersion site, Polycab’s branded safety watchtowers are helping authorities monitor the massive gatherings, adding an extra layer of security to the celebrations.

    “Ganesh Chaturthi is about unity and devotion. With these installations, we want to offer comfort and care to communities, going beyond products to build meaningful connections,” said Polycab India Ltd, senior vice president, brand & marcom, Shwetal Basu.

    The initiative doesn’t stop in Mumbai. Pune is set to see branded gates and banners at major pandals, while Hyderabad’s Khairatabad ganesh pandal will feature a Polycab-branded police booth with water and charging facilities, along with a striking LED arch for devotees.

    From Puri’s rath yatra to ganesh utsav in Mumbai, Polycab has been steadily building a reputation for festive connections powered by care, not cables.

    Mumbai: The 10-day long Ganesh Chaturthi festivities are a highlight for the city of Mumbai and its residents. However, the sight on city-beaches post the visarjans (idol immersion) is one of apathy as they are strewn with POP idol remains and plastic. In an endeavour to drive awareness about the issue while supporting the city civic authority’s efforts, Viacom18 has partnered with Children’s Movement for Civic Awareness (CMCA) for the 4th consecutive year for a clean-up drive on city beaches. Over 600 children along with Nicktoon Shiva and Rudra created awareness towards to encourage people to celebrate festivals in an environment friendly way.

    As a part of its Chakachak Mumbai initiative, the media & entertainment network along with CMCA conducted clean-up drives in Juhu, Aksa and Girgaum Chowpatty beaches. Over the years, the initiative has seen more and more students coming forward to support the campaign.
