    Odonil launches ‘A Diwali to Remember’ campaign

    Mumbai: This Diwali, Odonil has unveiled ‘A Diwali to Remember’ — a short film that shines a light on the spirit of generosity and connection. Also featuring Zepto as a delivery partner, the film tells the story of Pushpa, a resilient single mother and housekeeper whose life takes a joyful turn with a thoughtful Diwali surprise.

    Through the unexpected arrival of an Odonil hamper and a cricket bat for her son sent by her boss, the film reveals how small gestures can make people feel valued and seen. As the story closes, the voiceover resonates with the message, ‘Phoolon se mehkte rahe aapke ye anmol rishte. Happy Diwali, aap sab ko Odonil ki taraf se’ (May your precious bonds be as fragrant as flowers. Happy Diwali from Odonil to all of you). This sentiment reflects Odonil’s commitment to fostering closeness and joy, underscoring how true celebration lies in treasuring those who support us every day.
