More than One lakh Indians Fail Godrej Security Solutions’ Home Locker Break-In Challenge
Mumbai: India’s largest and trusted home security solutions provider, Godrej Security Solution, today completed 150 days of its unique Break-in Challenge. During the first phase of the challenge, held across eight key metro cities of the country, over 1 lakh consumers partook but failed to break open a Godrej home locker as against a locked wooden cupboard.
GSS’s Break-in Challenge was unveiled in August 2019 during which the company committed to reaching out to 10 lakh Indian consumers from 350 residential societies and commercial establishments across 15 key cities before FY2021. The challenge was commenced in response to a consumer behaviour insight study, ‘India’s Security Solution Quotient’ which revealed 55% of Indian consumers continue to store their valuables in cupboards or wardrobes despite the availability of more economical and safe options like home lockers.
Commenting on this initiative, Mehernosh Pithawalla, Group Head, Vice President and Global Head – Marketing, Sales & Innovation said, “Last year our consumer behaviour survey, India’s Security Solutions Quotient, highlighted that one in every two residents in India continues to store their valuables in cupboards and wardrobes. This was one of the critical security mistakes pointed out by the study. It highlighted an urgent need to educate consumers that our home lockers are 10 to 1000 times stronger and more secure than wardrobes. Basis the principles of ‘show don’t tell’ we embarked on a consumer activation programme that not just educated consumers but also gave them first-hand experience of security solutions available in the market. We are happy to announce that in the first phase, over 1 lakh people failed in the attempt to break-open our home locker and claim the INR 1 lakh prize money. Consequently, we have seen a proportionate skew towards the adoption of trustworthy security solutions and home lockers amongst the participants as they acknowledge the importance of protecting their valuables and loved ones for attaining peace of mind.”
The Break-in-Challenge is a part of the Godrej Security Solutions' recent omnichannel marketing campaign, #BilkulSafeHai, under which the company has taken various measures to reach out, educate and engage consumers on the importance of adopting home security solutions. The campaign was launched with a humorous series of TVCs, digital videos and print campaigns featuring leading Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana starting September 2019. As an extension of the strategy, the company also launched its e-commerce store in November 2019.

Atomberg rolls out Jackie Shroff-led campaign for smart purifier
Humour-led film highlights adaptive tech, no-AMC model and app features
MUMBAI: Boil it, filter it… or just let Jackie fix it, Atomberg Technologies is tapping nostalgia and wit to make water purification a little less… dry.
In its latest campaign, the brand ropes in Jackie Shroff to reimagine the tone of old-school public service messaging, borrowing cues from the actor’s iconic polio awareness appearances. The result is a humorous, culturally familiar spin that swaps health warnings for smart water habits, turning a typically functional category into something far more watchable and shareable.
The campaign’s hook lies in simplification. Instead of drowning audiences in technical jargon, it uses comedy to break down how Atomberg’s water purifier works, positioning it as an intuitive, everyday solution rather than a complex appliance. The storytelling leans heavily on recall, using nostalgia as an entry point while subtly educating consumers about product benefits.
At the centre of the narrative is the purifier’s adaptive technology. Designed to automatically switch between RO, UV and UF modes based on TDS levels, the system aims to ensure safe drinking water while retaining essential minerals and avoiding unnecessary RO usage. Features such as Taste Tune for customised water output and Vacation Mode for low-maintenance use further underline its focus on convenience.
Beyond the product, Atomberg is also taking aim at the category’s long-standing pain point: opaque service costs. The purifier operates on a no-AMC, pay-per-need model, replacing traditional annual maintenance contracts with a more transparent structure. Backed by a two-year no-cost warranty and continued coverage on replaced parts, the offering is positioned as both cost-efficient and consumer-friendly.
The campaign, therefore, does more than advertise a product, it reframes how it is understood. By blending humour, cultural familiarity and clear product messaging, Atomberg is attempting to stand out in a cluttered market where most communication tends to be either overly technical or easily ignored.
In a space where clarity is often filtered out, this campaign keeps things simple: safe water, smarter tech, and a familiar face delivering the message with a wink.
