Dentsu Webchutney and Lava Mobiles pay tribute to martyrs with ‘The Homecoming Project’
MUMBAI: Lava Mobiles and Dentsu Webchutney, the creatively-led digital agency from the house of Dentsu Aegis Network, have launched an initiative to bring our heroes back home. Aptly called ‘The Homecoming Project’, the initiative reimagines India Gate and places the name of all 74, 187 martyrs on it. This is achieved through an AR app that comes in-built with limited edition Lava Mobiles.
India Gate is one of the most iconic structures in India, but not many would know that India Gate was built by the British to commemorate Indian soldiers who laid down their lives during the First World War. India Gate carries names of 13,000 Indian soldiers and pays a tribute to their selfless valour. However, it is worth mentioning that the actual number of Indian martyrs during World War 1 stands at 74,187.
The British commemorated the contribution of every single Indian soldier. However, most of these memorials are located outside India, in countries like Iran, France, Germany to name a few. These memorials carry names of our brave heroes who never returned home. Till today.
This unique initiative lets people see the names of all 74, 187 soldiers martyred during WW1 on India Gate through a specially designed Augmented Reality App. The Homecoming Project app uses AR. It gets activated only in the vicinity of India Gate. When people point their phone camera towards India Gate, the app shows them the name of all 74,187 martyrs versus 13,000 names that one can see through the naked eye.
Commenting on the innovation, Gurbaksh Singh, Chief Creative Technologist, Dentsu Webchutney said,, “Technology is enabling us to reimagine the world we live in. Today, there are no limitations. This idea is not just a triumph of technology, but also a win for each Indian. We are welcoming and honouring our heroes and making an iconic monument even more iconic. India Gate holds a special place in our hearts. And with this drive, we are making it even more special. Lava takes a lot of pride in being Indian and this campaign strengthens their positioning as a brand that is proudly Indian.”
Vishal Sagar, Creative Director, Dentsu Webchutney said, “This is a project that has a lot of emotional and historic value for us. The fact that we could create something to remind the future generations of our glorious past gives me immense joy. It is more than a campaign idea for us. It is history in the making.”
The Homecoming Project app also allows people to search for names and points them to the accurate placement of the names on India Gate. The Homecoming Project brings our heroes home. Finally.

Ganesh Chana Sattu ropes in Ravindra Jadeja for new campaign
Cricketing all-rounder fronts ‘unnatural energy’ push for high-protein roasted gram flour drink.
MUMBAI: Ganesh Chana Sattu has just bowled a natural Yorker that feels positively superhuman and Ravindra Jadeja is the man delivering it. The nutrient-rich, high-protein roasted gram flour brand has launched a fresh campaign featuring the Indian cricketing legend. Conceptualised by TBWA\ Lintas, the campaign playfully explores how something truly natural can unlock extraordinary energy, using extreme visual exaggeration and Jadeja’s larger-than-life athleticism to show the power of sattu in action.
Rather than relying on dramatic storytelling, the film celebrates sattu as an age-old, completely natural ingredient that delivers performance so effective it borders on the unbelievable. It positions the drink as a refreshing, cool fuel for the body perfect for a generation seeking honest, high-protein nutrition without the hype.
Ganesh Consumer Products Limited director Devansh Mimani said, “Sattu has always been valued for its nutritional goodness. With this campaign, we wanted to showcase that energy in an engaging way. Ravindra Jadeja’s personality and athleticism helped us bring alive the idea that a natural drink can power seemingly unbelievable energy.”
TBWA\ Lintas unit creative director Tritirtha Chatterjee added, “The thought was to position Ganesh Sattu as a refreshing, cool drink that naturally powers the body. Ravindra Jadeja was the perfect fit to bring this idea alive. As an all-rounder, his game demands constant energy across batting, bowling and fielding.”
The campaign is now live across TV, digital platforms and social media channels, aiming to boost both brand awareness and product consideration among consumers looking for natural, high-protein alternatives.
In a category full of flashy promises, Ganesh Chana Sattu is quietly reminding everyone that sometimes the most powerful fuel comes from the simplest, most honest ingredients. With Jadeja on board, the brand has found the perfect all-rounder to prove that real energy doesn’t need artificial boosts, it just needs the right sattu.
