IDBI Federal launches new campaign created by O&M
Mumbai: IDBI Federal Life Insurance has launched a new ad campaign to announce the launch of its new ‘IDBI Federal Childsurance Dreambuilder Insurance Plan‘.
It is positioned as the ‘child plan that does not fail‘.
The campaign taps into the insight of how most parents would not like to live with the regret that their children were not able to pursue the career of their choice, especially since they are responsible to plan for their children‘s education.
It is conceptualised by Ogilvy & Mather and executed by Curious Films. It aims to differentiate Childsurance from other methods of planning for children‘s education which may fail if they fall short at the last minute.
O&M head of planning Kawal Shoor said, “In a world of goody-goody child plan advertising, we wanted to ensure that IDBI Federal‘s Childsurance stood out. And there‘s nothing like some naked truth, well told, to set you apart in a sea of plastic emotions. Hand-on-heart, many of us have felt, sometimes very often, that had our fathers invested in a particular company stock, or bought that piece of land which was going cheap years ago, we would have been somewhere else. This uncomfortable truth became the cornerstone of our campaign, and the challenge was to do it in such a way, that the campaign acts like a gentle pinch and yet land the key message of – a plan that never fails, powerfully.”
IDBI Federal Life Insurance Sr VP, head – marketing and product management Aneesh Khanna added, “Choosing the right plan is very critical today, given the rising inflation in education costs. Childsurance has the in-built Waiver of Premium benefit which allows the planned accumulation of funds to continue even in the absence of the provider. This will ensure that the child‘s education plans are not compromised due to lack of funds.”

Raj Cooling Systems launches Agreyas appliances brand
Emraan Hashmi named brand ambassador for consumer appliance push.
MUMBAI: A company known for cooling solutions is now heating up its ambitions in the home appliances market. Raj Cooling Systems Pvt. Ltd. has launched a new consumer appliances brand, Agreyas, marking its entry into India’s rapidly expanding home appliances sector valued at more than Rs 1.5 lakh crore. The move represents a strategic diversification for the company, which has traditionally focused on cooling solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Through Agreyas, the firm plans to tap into growing consumer demand for energy efficient and technology driven household appliances.
To build brand visibility, Agreyas has appointed Emraan Hashmi as its brand ambassador. The campaign has been developed under the banner of Zoommantra Productions, with actor and filmmaker Rohit Roy contributing to the creative direction.
The brand’s initial portfolio will include mid premium air conditioners, washing machines, geysers and other white goods designed to cater to modern Indian households seeking efficient and reliable appliances.
Raj Cooling Systems, founder and chairman Kalpesh Ramoliya said the launch aligns with the company’s broader expansion plans.
“The launch of Agreyas is in line with our vision to build a strong presence in India’s consumer electronics and home appliances market. The brand has been developed as a standalone identity to meet the evolving needs of Indian consumers,” he said.
Hashmi said the collaboration comes at a time when Indian buyers are increasingly looking for innovative and functional home solutions.
“I’m looking forward to working with Agreyas at a time when consumers are seeking more innovative and efficient home products. The brand reflects changing consumer behaviour around functionality, innovation and ease of use,” he said.
Raj Cooling Systems plans to invest around 10 million dollars in developing the brand, with an additional 5 million dollars earmarked over the next three to five years for product development and distribution expansion.
Agreyas will follow a multi channel distribution approach, selling through online platforms, retail outlets and dealer networks aimed at both urban and semi urban markets across India.
With the launch, the company is positioning Agreyas as a standalone consumer facing brand while continuing to leverage its existing manufacturing, engineering and research capabilities built through its core cooling solutions business.
