Google Cloud India unveils a new brand film ‘Hum Banayenge’
Mumbai: As part of its flagship event Cloud Next 22, Google Cloud unveiled its new brand film “Hum Banayenge” that cements its commitment to the country and builds awareness for its range of products and services.
Kinnect has conceptualised and executed the ‘Hum Banayenge’ film as a part of a long-term digital campaign.
The campaign aims to show how, since its inception, Google Cloud has consistently enabled aspirations and helped Indian companies transform themselves digitally.
True to Google Cloud’s philosophy of staying user-first, the film showcases three problems faced by Indians across different segments. Representing Google Cloud’s clients and partners in this film are Mahindra Finance, Josh Talks, and nurture.farm, who continue to solve these critical problems in the lives of the end consumers.
The film is both a declaration of the “Hum Banayenge” (We will build the solution) philosophy and a trailer for the stories to follow. Each of these stories features founders and owners who partnered with the brand at different points in their journey to innovate and strengthen their solutions. “#HumBanayenge” is Google Cloud’s first campaign in this market and targets its audience through this shared spirit of questioning, “Why not?” when faced with a problem.
Commenting on the new campaign, Google Cloud India head of regional marketing Virginia Sharma said, “In this campaign we follow the journeys of end users of our customers’ products and services and the human outcomes of solutions built on Google Cloud. I believe that the collective effort of our cloud customers, be it bootstrapped startups or leading conglomerates, is what will enable India’s digital transformation in the next 25 years. I’m really proud of this campaign because it moves from convincing minds to winning hearts.”
Talking about the creative side, Kinnect senior creative director Madhura Haldipur added, “It’s a privilege to be able to work on a brand like Google Cloud with solid values; it informs every decision you make on the campaign. We wanted to do justice to this unique spirit that takes guts before glory, finds a single-minded focus to find a solution, and has the heart and belief to see it through. With this campaign, we hope to show that behind ‘b2b’ are real humans who are making a difference in the lives of other humans.”

Lotus Herbals unveils HydroActivated sunscreen with high-impact campaign
Harnaaz Sandhu fronts digital push spotlighting breakthrough sun care tech
MUMBAI: Lotus Herbals has rolled out a high-decibel marketing campaign to introduce what it calls India’s first hydro-activated sunscreen, aiming to reshape how consumers think about sun protection.
At the centre of the launch is the Safe Sun HydroActivated Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA+++, a formulation built on a patent-pending Hydrosome Technology that activates on contact with moisture. Unlike conventional sunscreens that can weaken with sweat, this product is designed to do the opposite, boosting protection when the skin is exposed to water or perspiration.
The campaign is led by Harnaaz Sandhu and is being amplified across OTT platforms, social media and outdoor locations in key metro cities. The brand film takes a light, relatable approach to everyday sunscreen struggles such as uneven application and fading protection, while positioning the new product as a reliable, high-performance alternative for active lifestyles.
Beyond its core technology, the sunscreen features next-generation UV filters and Edelweiss Flower Extract, offering hydration alongside protection. The formula claims up to 10 hours of water resistance and even, all-round defence against sun exposure and tanning, targeting consumers who want both skincare and performance in one product.
Speaking about the launch, Lotus Herbals chairman and managing director Nitin Passi said, “We are excited to launch India’s first sunscreen with hydroactivated technology which is our most innovative product launch. This isn’t just a sunscreen; it’s a technological breakthrough that utilises a novel manufacturing process. We’ve created a product that stays invisible on the skin yet becomes a performance powerhouse when the user is most active.”
Sharing her experience, Lotus Herbals brand ambassador Harnaaz Sandhu said, “I am thrilled to be associated with Lotus Herbals Safe Sun for their new sun protection campaign. In my world, there is no room for shortcuts, and I need functional and reliable products that work as hard as I do. The hydroactivated sunscreen is a game-changer because it blends with my skin and protects me better when I’m pushing my limits.”
The campaign is being distributed across platforms including JioStar connected TV integrations and ZEE5, along with television placements such as Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in West Bengal. A large influencer push involving over a thousand creators, along with in-store branding and retail activations, is also part of the rollout.
With a blend of science-led positioning and mass-market storytelling, Lotus Herbals is betting on innovation to stand out in the crowded sun care segment, hoping its moisture-powered promise strikes the right chord with today’s always-on consumers.
