Edited excerpts
On the inspiration behind this campaign
In developing our campaign, we conducted research to explore the correlation between happiness and security. We aimed to determine whether such a connection exists and, if so, to what extent. This led us to survey 2,400 customers to understand this relationship, which ultimately shaped the direction of our campaign. For the past 125 years, Godrej Security & Solutions has evolved its products to enhance people’s safety and security. Discovering a link between happiness and safety inspired us to position ourselves as a brand that “secures your happiness.” This is how the seeds of our campaign were planted. Previously, we focused on “Desh ki Tijori,” and now we’re excited to launch “Khushiyon ke Rakhwale,” perfectly timed for the festive season.
On some key features
We are continually innovating, and this campaign is no exception. Our strategy includes leveraging digital media, social media platforms, OTT channels, and television. Additionally, we plan to execute on-ground activations, taking advantage of our 5,000 retail counters nationwide to raise awareness and engage consumers through an omnichannel approach. Our e-commerce growth also supports this initiative.
On the crucial aspect of this campaign
Awareness is a crucial aspect of our campaign, especially since our research revealed a prevalent mindset among customers: “Nothing will happen to me.” We aim to educate them that security incidents can happen to anyone and emphasize the importance of preparedness. Our product range addresses security at various levels—from home entry points to the heart of the home, represented by our secure lockers. With rising jewelry and gold prices, protecting these valuable items becomes imperative; neglecting security invites potential theft.
On the growing technology incorporated in this market
We prioritize consumer research, as our customers increasingly view technology as integral to security, particularly in the banking and jewelry sectors. To meet these needs, we have enhanced our products with smart technology, incorporating artificial intelligence and IoT capabilities.
Any particular challenge for the security solutions market
One challenge we face in the home locker category is that, while we hold an 80 per cent market share, our focus should shift from simply increasing market share to expanding the market size itself. This requires increasing product adoption and building the category, as there are numerous substitutes available. Many customers still resort to hiding valuables in mattresses or temple houses—basic tactics that any burglar would recognize. We are committed to educating our customers about the importance of proper security solutions.
On future plans and other innovations
Moreover, our product development is driven by consumer research. For instance, our digital home locks have evolved from basic keypads to incorporating biometric access and multiple security features. We are also working on innovations that allow mobile phones to serve as keys, utilizing one-time passwords for added security. These technological advancements will continue to evolve as part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing home security.

Reliance Retail FY26 revenue rises 11.8 Per Cent to Rs 3.7 lakh crore
Q4 revenue up 11.1 Per Cent, hyperlocal orders surge 4x, PAT steady
MUMBAI: Reliance Retail isn’t just ringing up sales, it’s ringing doorbells faster than ever. Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL) reported a steady FY26 performance, with growth powered by store expansion, a sharp surge in hyperlocal commerce, and consistent traction across grocery, fashion and jewellery. For the full year, revenue rose 11.8 per cent year-on-year to Rs 3,70,026 crore. In the January–March quarter, revenue from operations climbed 11.1 per cent to Rs 87,344 crore, up from Rs 78,622 crore a year earlier.
Operating performance remained stable, with Q4 EBITDA inching up 3.1 per cent YoY to Rs 6,921 crore from Rs 6,711 crore. However, quarterly profit after tax held steady at Rs 3,563 crore. For the full fiscal, PAT grew 11.7 per cent to Rs 13,842 crore.
Expansion remained a key lever. RRVL added 1,564 new stores during FY26, while simultaneously scaling its digital and hyperlocal commerce play. The latter emerged as a standout, with daily orders surging more than fourfold year-on-year in Q4, underlining a clear shift towards faster, localised fulfilment.
In grocery, large-format stores maintained momentum, aided by festive demand and the expansion of Smart Bazaar, which crossed 1,000 stores. Promotional campaigns such as ‘Full Paisa Vasool’ delivered record results, with sales rising 26 per cent YoY.
Digital commerce also picked up pace. JioMart added 5.8 million new users in Q4, nearly doubling its registered base year-on-year. Hyperlocal orders grew 29 per cent sequentially and over 300 per cent annually during the quarter.
Fashion and lifestyle saw steady traction. Ajio recorded a 23 per cent YoY rise in average bill value, while fast-fashion platform Shein crossed 11 million app installs, scaling rapidly with expanding product lines.
The jewellery business added further shine, with average bill value jumping 53 per cent YoY, largely driven by rising gold prices and sustained consumer demand.
Commenting on the shift, RRVL executive director Isha Ambani said hyperlocal commerce has become a structural growth driver, with orders rising more than fourfold over the year.
Looking ahead to FY27, the company is betting on technology to deepen engagement. The focus, Ambani noted, will be on AI-led merchandising, sharper pricing strategies and disciplined execution turning scale into sustained customer value.
In short, the carts are fuller, the clicks are quicker, and the next phase looks less about reach and more about precision.
