Centrum taps into daily fatigue with new Har Din Ko Kar Recharge campaign
New film highlights how a quick nutrient boost can turn everyday tiredness into energy
MUMBAI: In a bid to connect with India’s always-on lifestyle, Centrum has rolled out a new campaign titled ‘Har Din Ko Kar Recharge’, spotlighting the everyday struggle with fatigue and the need for simple, accessible wellness solutions.
The campaign, launched by Haleon, promotes Centrum Recharge, an effervescent energy drink mix designed to replenish essential micronutrients lost during daily activity. Priced at Rs 10 per sachet, the product combines Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Magnesium, and Zinc to support energy, hydration, and immunity in a convenient format.
At the heart of the campaign is a light-hearted film that brings a relatable slice of life to the screen. It follows a tired young man who is unexpectedly challenged to a street game by a child. Initially reluctant, he turns to a Centrum Recharge sachet, after which his energy visibly returns, allowing him to join in with enthusiasm. The narrative neatly ties into the brand’s core message that small nutritional boosts can make a big difference in daily vitality.
Speaking on the launch, Haleon ISC head wellness & OTC Deepali Agarwal said the campaign aims to bring attention back to everyday energy and participation. She highlighted that modern routines often leave people feeling drained, and solutions like Centrum Recharge can help bridge nutritional gaps while encouraging a more active lifestyle.
The brand is also positioning the product as part of a larger push to democratise multivitamin consumption in India, especially at a time when micronutrient deficiencies remain widespread. With variants for both kids and adults and availability across retail, pharmacies, and quick commerce platforms, the company is betting on accessibility as a key growth driver.
The campaign will be amplified across digital and television platforms nationwide, supported by on-ground activations, sampling initiatives, and e-commerce visibility. As Centrum leans into the everyday energy conversation, its latest push makes a clear pitch. Staying energised, it suggests, might just be as simple as hitting refresh on your daily routine.

Hyundai and TVS Motor partner to develop electric three wheelers
Joint development pact targets last mile mobility with localisation push
MUMBAI: Three wheels, one big ambition and a charge towards the future. Hyundai Motor Company and TVS Motor Company have signed a joint development agreement to co-create electric three-wheelers (E3Ws), aiming to crack India’s complex last-mile mobility puzzle. The collaboration moves beyond concept talk into execution mode, building on the E3W prototype first showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The goal now is clear, design, develop and commercialise a purpose-built vehicle tailored to Indian roads, riders and realities.
Under the agreement, Hyundai will lead design and co-development, bringing its global R&D muscle and human-centric engineering approach to the table. TVS Motor, meanwhile, will anchor the product on its electric platform, leveraging deep three-wheeler expertise and local market insight. It will also handle manufacturing and sales in India, with an eye on exports down the line.
The timing is strategic. India remains the world’s largest three-wheeler market, where affordability, durability and adaptability often outweigh sheer innovation. The upcoming E3W aims to strike that balance combining advanced technology with practical features such as adaptive ground clearance for monsoon-hit roads, improved thermal management for tropical climates, and flexible interiors suited for passengers, cargo or emergency use.
A key pillar of the partnership is localisation. Major components will be sourced and manufactured within India, a move expected to strengthen the domestic supply chain, create jobs, lower costs and improve after-sales support.
The shift from prototype to production will involve rigorous testing, certification and refinement to meet regulatory standards and consumer expectations. Dedicated cross-functional teams from both companies are already in place to accelerate timelines.
At a broader level, the tie-up reflects a growing trend in mobility, global players partnering with local specialists to navigate emerging markets. For Hyundai and TVS, the bet is that combining scale with street-level insight could unlock a new chapter in sustainable urban transport, one that runs not just on electricity, but on relevance.
