HDFC Life’s latest digital campaign celebrates kindness
Mumbai: HDFC Life has launched a campaign #TheRightStep celebrating stories of kindness and encouraging people to be the ray of hope in someone’s life through small acts of generosity during these difficult times.
The campaign aims to inspire everyone to take the right action and help fight this pandemic in whatever way they can. To spread this message, HDFC Life has created six ten-second videos with a selection of slice-of-life stories, showcasing everyday moments where people from all walks of life are contributing towards fighting the pandemic in their capacity.
HDFC Life executive VP Vishal Subharwal said, “Our campaign #TheRightStep is our small initiative to recognize the everyday heroes around us while also encouraging the audience to follow their footsteps. With this campaign, we also wish to spread a sense of optimism with examples of how society has taken a selfless turn, and how with these small acts of kindness we can together fight this pandemic.”
The stories revolve around one family, where each story sees one main character taking #TheRightStep and feeling a strong sense of contribution as a result of owning up to their duty and responsibility.
Commenting on the challenge of creating a thought-provoking campaign that aligns with the brand’s philosophy of SarUthaKeJiyo, Logicserve Digital VP Manesh Swamy says, “Everyone’s morale was at a low, we thought this is the right time to encourage people to step up and do the right thing and help people navigate through these tough times. We wanted to convey how every single person can make a difference by taking the right step. Since a majority of the cities in the country were in lockdown, it was difficult to shoot but we managed to pull it off with all the safety norms in place. We hope after watching this, viewers get inspired to do the right thing.”

Tech2.com returns with AI-driven revamp to guide India’s tech consumers
News18 relaunches legacy tech platform with AI tools and expanded coverage
NEW DELHI: Tech2, one of India’s earliest and most recognisable technology news destinations, is staging a comeback with a fresh, AI-first approach aimed at modern digital consumers.
Originally launched in 2003, Tech2 built a strong following among India’s tech enthusiasts by simplifying complex innovations and guiding purchase decisions. Now, under the umbrella of Network18’s News18, the platform is being reimagined for an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping how users consume and interact with information.
The revamped Tech2 blends AI-powered tools with editorial expertise, aiming to deliver smarter, faster, and more personalised content. While the technology stack gets a significant upgrade, the platform is consciously holding on to its familiar brand identity, creating continuity for long-time users while attracting a new generation.
At its core, the new Tech2 is positioning itself as a decision-making companion for consumers navigating an increasingly complex tech landscape. From gadgets and apps to broader digital ecosystems, the platform plans to widen its editorial scope to reflect how deeply technology now influences everyday life.
A key part of its growth strategy includes expanding into multiple Indian languages, signalling an intent to reach audiences beyond metro cities and tap into the next wave of digital adoption.
The relaunch also strengthens News18’s portfolio of specialised digital properties, which already includes platforms such as CricketNext for cricket coverage, Showsha for entertainment, and Local18 for regional reporting.
With its return, Tech2 is not just revisiting its legacy but attempting to redefine it. In a market flooded with information, the platform’s success will hinge on whether it can turn AI into a genuine utility for users rather than just a buzzword.
