Chaubey Ji makes a comeback Dabur Red Paste
New Delhi: In the wake of the Covid2019 pandemic, both businesses and consumers are focusing on essentials. Most of the communication has been a creative rendition of social distancing and washing hands, the two most important preventive measures to break the chain. However, a third was added – building immunity – and this gained momentum post the directives from the Ayush ministry.
While immunity-boosting foods like Amla, Ginger and Haldi are commonly consumed in India, but as beneficial as they are in fighting diseases, they are quite tough to chew and hard on the teeth.
Drawing from an inherent product truth of healthy and strong teeth, Dabur Red Paste – the No. 1 Ayurvedic toothpaste – launched 3 films adding to the ‘#ChabaateyRahoIndia’ series, advising people to remain tough, resolute and prepared against the pandemic.
Done in the usual fun and light-hearted manner that we all have come to like about the ‘#ChabaateyRahoIndia’ series, the thought is brought to life through tough to chew ‘immunity building foods,’ that we consume to boost our immunity. In the film, we can see our protagonist ‘Chaubey Ji’ chewing through the toughest foods like Amla, Ginger and raw Turmeric to prepare himself against the pandemic but is not fazed by their toughness because he uses Dabur Red Paste.
The brand campaign comprises a series of films that have been conceptualized by Ogilvy Gurgaon.
Ogilvy North CCO Ritu Sharda said, “The ‘#ChabaateyRahoIndia’ series by Dabur Red Paste makes a comeback this year, and our favourite ‘Chaubey Ji’ is here to chabao some things that are important for all of us to stay fit. While everyone talks about chewing on haldi, ginger and amla, we understand that they are hard to bite, and one would need healthy teeth to chew them properly. So, make your teeth strong to make your immunity strong. Chabatey raho India, aur har problem ko bhagatey raho.”
Ogilvy president & head of office Shouvik Roy said, “The platform of ‘#ChabaateyRahoIndia’ for the brand Dabur Red Paste is all about chewing through adversity. It was a challenge to bring back ‘Chaubey Ji’ without cricket, especially in this current situation. Yet again, the strong teeth and ‘chaba dalengey’ connect gave birth to 3 beautiful films.”
Dabur India Oral Care head of marketing Harkawal Singh said, “Dabur Red Paste – the #1 ayurvedic toothpaste – stands for providing strong teeth and complete oral protection with clinically proven Ayurveda. Though this is a serious and efficacious proposition. We created a platform ‘#ChabaateyRahoIndia’ to make it engaging for consumers, celebrating their love for food, their resolve to chew away obstacles, and their will to chew away every hardship and stand tall. In our effort to connect with people and give oral health another fun twist, we are bringing out Season 2 of the endearing ‘Chaubey Ji’ films in which Mr. Manoj Pahwa again helps deliver the brand’s message, urging people to focus on oral health for overall health.”

MUMBAI: Not every bright idea lights up the room, sometimes it’s the wrong wattage turning your cosy nook into a glaring interrogation cell. Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd. is flipping the switch on that mindset with its fresh integrated campaign, ‘Every Space Bright & Right with Crompton Lights’, unveiled on 18 February 2026. The core message? Homes aren’t one-trick ponies anymore, they’re offices, chill zones, kitchens, and entertainment hubs yet lighting decisions still boil down to “brighter is better”, leaving glare, shadows, and mismatched vibes in their wake.
The campaign calls out the overlooked truth, every space deserves illumination that fits its purpose, not a blanket blast of lumens. It nudges consumers away from generic brightness towards thoughtful choices that enhance comfort, mood, and function whether warm decorative glow for family dinners, focused task lights for cooking, softer ambient for bedrooms, or welcoming outdoor spots for the entrance.
Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd. chief marketing officer Tanmay Prusty put it plainly, “At Crompton, we start with a clear understanding of how consumers live today. Homes are no longer static spaces, they have become workplaces, entertainment hubs, and places to unwind. Yet, lighting is still often chosen only on the basis of brightness. Through this campaign, we are encouraging consumers to think beyond brightness and choose lighting that is aligned to the purpose of every space.”
To hammer the point home, Crompton dropped a striking short film crafted with generative AI. It opens on familiar domestic scenes dinner chaos under harsh overheads, dim entrances that feel unwelcoming then rewinds the tape with purpose-matched upgrades, balanced living-room warmth, kitchen precision, bedroom calm, and outdoor flair. The reel wraps with product highlights and the tagline, driving home how Crompton’s broad indoor-plus-outdoor portfolio (think advanced features, intuitive designs) can transform everyday experiences.
Amplification is going big, digital, OOH, print, cinema, influencer tie-ups, plus eye-catching large-format branding at key South India airports. It’s a full-court press to reach urban and emerging households rethinking their lighting game.
Whether you’re binge-watching in the dark or squinting over a recipe, this campaign’s reminder is spot on: the right light doesn’t just brighten a room, it makes the space feel right. In a world of smart homes, why settle for dumb lighting?
