    K Raheja Corp unveils ‘Desh Ki Dhun’

    MUMBAI: Building on the melodies of the past two Independence Days – Pragati Ki Dhun, a tribute to India’s progress, and Azaadi Ki Dhun, a salute to the nation’s freedom, K Raheja Corp now unveils its third edition titled: Desh Ki Dhun, a two-minute crowd-sourced musical celebrating the spirit of everyday India. The musical brings together spontaneous and fun responses from people who interact with the Group’s business verticals – employees and officegoers at Mindspace Business Parks, residents of K Raheja Corp Homes, guests at Chalet Hotels, shoppers at Inorbit Malls and Shoppers Stop, and the labourers on site. Captured in moments of work, leisure, travel, and shopping, these unfiltered voices blend into an uplifting harmony, offering a vibrant tribute to the nation, this Independence Day.

    The film opens with a simple question: “Aapko kya karne se aati hai Azaadi Wali Feeling?” Responses were captured exactly as they were shared – light-hearted banter over chai at the office café, the calm of a home balcony at sunrise, the delight of a complimentary buffet breakfast, the rush of a flash sale. Each unfiltered phrase became a lyric; each natural cadence transformed into a beat. No professional vocalists, just India speaking in its very own authentic voice. The idea is conceptualised by the K Raheja Corp’s Corporate Communications Team, music is composed by the gifted music director Sanket Sane, with visuals directed by Alok Sutar.  

    K Raheja corp head – corporate communications, Cheryl D’souza-Waldiya said “With Desh Ki Dhun, we’ve transformed the everyday voices of India into an ode to Independence Day. By placing real people at the heart of the song, we celebrate the fact that our spaces – from offices to homes, hotels to malls and retail stores, are far more than structures. They are vibrant stages where India’s spirit comes alive each day. Every handshake, every smile, every shared moment adds a note to this anthem of progress, and together, we’re composing a future that is bold, united, and unstoppable.”

    Desh Ki Dhun premieres today on YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook handles of K Raheja Corp. Viewers are invited to share their own #AzaadiWaliFeeling moments with #DeshKiDhun.

    Raheja Corp unveils ‘Azaadi Ki Dhun’

    Mumbai: In an interesting blend of creativity and patriotism, K Raheja Corp, India’s leading real estate conglomerate, unveils ‘Azaadi Ki Dhun’ – an acapella anthem from the group, especially penned and crafted to celebrate the spirit of India’s 77th Independence Day. This unique composition is more than just a song; it is a harmonious showcase of the incredible talent within K Raheja Corp, where every note, beat, and rhythm is brought to life purely through the power of the human voice. True to the acapella format, it makes no use of musical instruments.

    Sung by a chorus of gifted voices from within the organization, ‘Azaadi Ki Dhun’ is a testament to the versatility of vocal expression – an anthem from our people to India. Those who didn’t lend their voices contributed with an array of innovative sounds, ranging from hums and finger snaps to lip rolls and chest thumps, creating a rich tapestry of auditory experiences. The anthem features a fascinating imitation of several musical instruments—drums, shakers, trumpets, and bass guitars, all skilfully replicated by the people of K Raheja Corp.

    Speaking on the musical’s launch, Cheryl D’souza Waldiya, AVP – Corporate Communications, K Raheja Corp, “We are delighted with how ‘Azaadi Ki Dhun’ has come to life. This anthem is a celebration of K Raheja Corp’s commitment to building the nation, something we strive for each day, through our brands, that touch the lives of people across India. With no instruments and purely captivating voices, the lyrics resonate well, capturing the essence of what we stand for. What’s interesting is that we’ve involved on-site labourers, adding an authentic touch, making this anthem not just a piece of music, but a true representation of the spirit of real estate and the foundations upon which our country is built.”

  • K Raheja Corp’s new brand campaign centres around ‘space’

    K Raheja Corp’s new brand campaign centres around ‘space’

    MUMBAI: Known for enhancing the quality of life through best offerings across real estate, retail and hospitality, K Raheja Corp launched its latest marketing campaign pegged on ‘space.’

     

    Crafted to showcase one of the most sought after, but largely fading feature in residential offerings ‘space,’ the campaign communication is simple and succinct with the tagline – ‘Space makes all the difference.’

     

    Developed for Raheja Vistas Premiere – Pune, the property is now open sales for phase II of its project.

     

    The phased ad campaign will roll out in the Pune market across print, radio and digital.

     

    The print ads juxtapose cramped lettering with well laid out text to elucidate the need for, and value of – space. The thought is the same in the radio campaign, which relies on an innovative script showcasing an aural experience of – being cramped, to bring alive the value of space to a listener.

     

    Conceptualised by Utopeia Communicationz, the campaign aims to drive home the invaluable message that ‘Space is the ultimate luxury’: 20 acres of space for spacious floor plans; grand parking spaces; a 7-acre green land with best in class amenities; space that allows one to enjoy the luxury of privacy; peacefully enjoy festivals and special occasions; space in a gated, serene community.

     

    In the run-up to the festive season, the first phase of the print and radio campaign debuted late last month in print along with radio across the stations of Radio City and Radio Mirchi.

     

    The online campaign is expected to break in the first week of September and will extend through the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi.

     

    Speaking about the campaign, K Raheja Corp director Vinod Rohira said, “In times where space is a luxury, the availability of liberal amounts of it is definitely a huge advantage, and we have focused on this single feature to showcase the merits of Raheja Vistas Premiere. A meticulous creation, we are confident of the property delivering excellently to the needs of a discerning audience base. Timed for the festive season, with a carefully selected media mix across print, radio and digital we look forward to this campaign successfully meeting our business objectives.”
