Godrej says it’s “All Safe Here” on Republic Day
MUMBAI: To mark India’s 70th Republic Day, Godrej launched the campaign, “All Safe Here”, featuring a video highlighting Godrej’s contribution to safety and security for the people in the country. The campaign has been conceptualised by Creativeland Asia.
In a press statement, the brand said, “From securing homes with its unpickable locks to securing workspaces and banks. From helping create beautiful memories in green and safe Godrej homes to keeping germs at bay. From enabling a safe environment for kids at home or at play to fortifying our grounds in an effort to build a Malaria-free future India. From safeguarding the nation by manufacturing key subsystems for BrahMos and other missiles to a commitment towards making the world a lot greener. Godrej has been continually at it. And will continue innovating constantly, to keep it #AllSafeHere.”
Speaking about the project, Creativeland Asia chief creative officer Anu Joseph said, “Putting together Godrej’s list of contributions to the nation and how the company touches and safeguards so many million lives every day, is both an enriching and a humbling experience. It’s also poetic in a certain sense. The effort was to say the story in a simple and yet evocative way. That’s what we’ve done.”
Godrej Group executive director and chief brand officer Tanya Dubash commented, “Godrej’s journey is intertwined with that of our country and we feel passionately about keeping India and our citizens safe. From Goodnight mosquito repellents to critical parts of Brahmos missiles, Godrej has contributed towards providing the nation with products and services that instill a feeling of protection in our consumers. On this Republic day, we reaffirm our commitment towards the nation and will continue innovating and creating products in line with this nation building philosophy.”
Godrej and Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. executive director and president Anil Verma said, “At Godrej & Boyce, our mission has always been about enriching the quality of life every day, everywhere and a key element of this is that people feel safe and secure. It is a matter of pride to see so many of our businesses contributing to the wellbeing of Indians in so many different ways; we are truly privileged and blessed to be able to serve our country and our countrymen. On this Republic Day, we would like to renew our commitment to making all residents of India feel safer and, hence, more free than ever before.”

As COO, Gangwar is expected to bring greater operating discipline while building systems, talent and processes to support long-term growth.
With leadership continuity and a clear global focus, Pocket FM appears to be turning the page to its next chapter, one that aims to take its storytelling playbook well beyond home turf.
