Acer launches TVC with Hrithik Roshan
NEW DELHI: Acer India today launched its new TVC campaign across 54 electronic channels with its brand ambassador Hrithik Roshan shown using Acer laptops.
The TV commercial has been conceptualised by BBH and shot by film director AbhinayDeo of ‘Delhi Belly‘ fame.
The campaign demonstrates the power of Acer laptops in a simple yet efficient manner. In the TVC, which was shot through a stripped down Red Epic camera attached to an Acer Laptop, Hrithik describes the features of Acer‘s new range of laptops – Ultra Light, Ultra Fast and with Dolby Sound. The entire TVC is a testament to the power of Acer‘s laptops, which, as Hrithik says, is powerful enough to create this film.
On the TVC, Acer India MD Harish Kohli said: “The innovative method used to film this TVC is groundbreaking and proof of the power an Acer laptop holds under its chassis. I believe that this TVC will give the audience a very good idea of how powerful our products are. Hrithik is a great sport and I am glad that he agreed to go along with this unconventional method of filmmaking.”
BBH managing partner Partha Sinha, who developed the TVC campaign, said: “When we delved deep into the Acer brand and the products, we figured out a simple thing. Acer can provide the most ‘unobvious‘ and surprising solutions. We wanted to challenge the obvious in communication and created a film using the laptops; not a claim, but the proof of the pudding. This is the true nature of the brand – do things which are seemingly impossible.”
The TVC gives the audience a demonstration of the capabilities of Acer products. Hence, Acer has now even explored filmmaking beyond its limits. The making of the TVC will be available on YouTube soon.

KKR sixes to power EV charger rollout under VIDA campaign
Cricket meets clean mobility as big hits spark India’s charging growth
NEW DELHI: VIDA, the electric mobility arm of Hero MotoCorp, has teamed up with Kolkata Knight Riders to launch a campaign that turns cricketing flair into real-world impact.
Titled ‘6 for 6’, the initiative promises to install a 6kW fast EV charger for every six hit by KKR during the ongoing Indian Premier League season. The idea is simple but powerful, as each big hit on the field contributes directly to expanding India’s fast-charging infrastructure.
The campaign builds on VIDA’s growing network, which already spans over 5,300 fast-charging points across more than 430 cities. With EV adoption gaining pace, the brand is using cricket’s mass appeal to accelerate both awareness and infrastructure growth.
Explaining the thinking behind the move, Hero MotoCorp emerging mobility business unit chief business officer Kausalya Nandakumar said, “Cricket has an incredible ability to unite and inspire millions across the country. With the ‘6 for 6’ campaign, we are turning every big hit on the field into a step towards a cleaner and a more accessible mobility future.”
She added that VIDA’s expanding fast-charging network and removable battery technology are designed to make EV ownership more convenient and practical for everyday users.
From the franchise’s side, the campaign is also about giving on-field moments a larger purpose. Kolkata Knight Riders chief executive officer Venky Mysore said, “The ‘6 for 6’ campaign exemplifies the potential of sport as a platform for meaningful, real-world impact. By linking every six to the expansion of EV charging infrastructure, this partnership transforms fan excitement into tangible progress.”
As part of the rollout, VIDA has introduced co-branded charging stations in KKR’s signature colours, with a flagship installation unveiled alongside team players. The chargers are designed for quick top-ups, powering VIDA scooters from zero to 80 percent in about an hour, while also being positioned along key highways to support longer journeys.
The initiative also taps into VIDA’s removable battery system, which allows users to charge using standard household plug points, adding flexibility to the charging ecosystem.
By blending the thrill of cricket with the urgency of clean mobility, VIDA and KKR have found a neat way to make every six count twice, once on the scoreboard and again on India’s road to an electric future.
