Home is where the heart loan is says LIC HFL in new brand campaign
MUMBAI: Walls you can scribble on. A nail you can hammer in. A door that bears your name. LIC Housing Finance Limited (LIC HFL) is tugging at heartstrings with its new brand campaign, launched on its 36th Foundation Day. Titled “Apna Ghar… toh apna hi hota hai”, the campaign is a love letter to the emotional highs of homeownership, one mortgage at a time.
The film unfolds like a photo album of real India: a birthday party in a Mumbai chawl, wall scribbles in a Chandigarh flat, DIY home décor in the South, and joyful wall painting in a Bengali household. No dramatic voiceovers, no dream homes from glossy catalogues just simple stories that show how home is more than square footage. It’s where memories are made, walls become storyboards, and every corner says “you”.
Backed by four decades of housing India’s dreams, LIC HFL’s latest initiative celebrates that universal desi sentiment: “Kuch bhi ho, apna ghar toh apna hota hai.” LIC Housing Finance Limited, managing director & CEO Tribhuwan Adhikari calls it a reaffirmation of the trust LIC HFL has built with families across income groups and geographies over the past 36 years.
To dial up the emotion, LIC HFL has also launched a Digital Name Plate Generator, a playful interactive feature where users can visualise their name on a front door, delivering a personalised dose of that ‘first-home’ thrill.
The campaign not only reinforces LIC HFL’s legacy in home financing, but also shows the brand’s evolving digital-first ethos, appealing to next-gen homeowners who want both emotional and financial security under one roof.
From loan documents to love notes on the fridge, LIC HFL’s message is simple: the joy of a home is worth every EMI.

YFLO appoints Tania Nijhawan as president for 2026-27 term
Dentist-entrepreneur to lead women’s body amid rising focus on leadership
NEW DELHI: Young FICCI Ladies Organisation (YFLO), the women’s arm of FICCI, has appointed Tania Nijhawan as its president for the 2026-27 tenure, effective April 2026, at a time when conversations around women’s leadership in India are gaining fresh momentum.
A cosmetic and paediatric dentist with over 15 years of experience, Nijhawan is the founder of Udana Wellness, a multi-speciality clinic in Vasant Vihar known for its focus on advanced treatments and patient-centric care. She also serves as director at Nijhawan Group and is an active investor in start-ups across health, wellness and hospitality, including Nuts For Us.
Her academic credentials include advanced training from global institutions such as New York University, the University of Southern California and University College London, shaping her multidisciplinary approach across dentistry and wellness.
YFLO has long positioned itself as a platform for leadership, entrepreneurship and professional growth, bringing together women across industries to drive dialogue and collaboration. Under Nijhawan’s leadership, the organisation is expected to sharpen its focus on cross-sector engagement and meaningful, future-facing conversations.
Speaking on her appointment, Tania Nijhawan said, “YFLO has always stood for meaningful engagement and forward-thinking dialogue. I look forward to building a platform that not only encourages exchange of ideas but also actively supports emerging voices and creates opportunities for collaboration across sectors.”
She added, “The Women’s Reservation Bill, which seeks to reserve 33% of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies, is not just a policy shift, it is a generational opportunity. It acknowledges the urgent need for women to have a stronger voice in shaping the nation’s future. True progress lies not just in representation, but in enabling women to lead with agency, confidence and impact.”
As president, Nijhawan will focus on curated programming, high-impact industry conversations and initiatives that bring together women across disciplines. Her theme for the year, “Lead With Your Light,” signals a push towards purpose-led leadership and greater confidence among emerging voices.
Her appointment marks a new chapter for YFLO, one that aims to align leadership, enterprise and policy at a time when women’s voices are increasingly central to India’s growth story.
