Joseph George set to launch Vector Brand Solutions
Mumbai: Forty months after founding and launching Tilt Brand Solutions, MullenLowe Lintas Group’s former group chairman and CEO Joseph George has announced the group’s launch of its next brand & communications enterprise – Vector Brand Solutions. Like Tilt, Vector too will be Mumbai based.
Tilt Brand Solutions has worked with over 35 blue chip and start up brands putting out some notable work on Dream 11, Livspace, Licious, Swiggy, JD Mart, Groww, Go Daddy, TVS and The Pink Foundry among others.
Speaking on the launch of Vector, Joseph George said, “Thus far, we seem to have got quite a few things right at Tilt; in terms of how we work, how we engage and what we put out. While there is ofcourse a lot for us to get better at, what has worked most for us and our clients is a structure that allows our senior folks to give disproportionate attention to brands, clients and their business. So, the question I asked myself was how do we navigate and manage growth while not diluting, diminishing and diffusing our people’s involvement with their brands and clients. The answer – Vector Brand Solutions.”
On the name, he added, “Vector in Physics is a quantity or phenomenon that has both magnitude and direction. And that’s what we want to ensure in everything we do – agility and pace but with purpose and direction.”
On what Vector would specifically focus on developing along the way, George said, “Vector is a post pandemic launch; and the rampant digital embrace seen in the past 20 months have resulted in Digital First brands getting launched every day. For them to survive and thrive, they will need high quality top, middle and bottom of the funnel interventions; and so, will need help with smart data insighting, innovative demand generation as well as top draw skills in building brand love, preference and distinctiveness. Vector will strive to be acknowledged as best in class partners for these marketers.”
Vector is in the midst of putting in place its operating leadership. An announcement on this is expected to be made in the next few weeks.

Navi releases new ‘Hurrypur’ film focused on speed and simplicity
Auto breakdown turns F1-style pit stop in campaign film set to Baalti’s track
MUMBAI: When life’s in the fast lane, Navi wants even your breakdowns to be over in a blink. Navi has rolled out a new film under its ongoing ‘Hurrypur’ campaign, doubling down on its core pitch speed and simplicity in everyday transactions.
The film opens on a familiar hiccup, an autorickshaw breaking down mid-ride. But what follows is anything but ordinary. The repair unfolds like a Formula 1 pit stop swift, precise, almost cinematic. Within seconds, the tyre is replaced, the vehicle is back on the road, and even the fare negotiation wraps up in record time.
Set to US-based musical act Baalti’s track “123”, the film uses rhythm and pacing to mirror its central idea, in a world that moves fast, everything around it must keep up.
The narrative builds on Hurrypur, a fictional world where time is treated as currency and delay is almost obsolete. Through exaggerated yet relatable scenarios, the campaign reflects a broader behavioural shift consumers increasingly expect instant responses, whether from people, platforms or payments.
Navi Limited MD and CEO Rajiv Naresh said the Hurrypur universe is designed to highlight the company’s focus on delivering seamless, time-efficient experiences. Meanwhile, creative agency Sideways and director Ayappa KM leaned into humour and visual energy to push the story beyond a typical product-led narrative.
Instead of listing features, the campaign sticks to storytelling turning a routine inconvenience into a high-speed spectacle.
Because in Navi’s world, even a pit stop refuses to slow things down.
