MyGate rolls out creative campaign Knock Knock Stories
The largest community management application MyGate has launched a quirky campaign – Knock Knock Stories. It is another addition to MyGate’s portfolio of unique digital campaigns and marketing initiatives. Some of the other leading campaigns from MyGate’s suite are ‘Just Society Things’ and ‘Heroes of MyGate’.
This new campaign is based on age-old knock-knock tradition and highlights how MyGate’s suite of offerings eliminates the need to go knocking on a neighbour’s door for information or help. Comprising six films, the campaign also touches upon the multi-cultural aspect of gated community living.

The features highlighted via the campaign include MyGate’s Home Services, where one neighbour learns about the availability of pest control services on the app, and its buy and sell, where MyGate users can list old items for sale or simply give them away.
Conceptualised by Autumn Grey, Knock Knock Stories has a total of six films. The first film in the series went live for MyGate users on OTT platforms and YouTube on 18 April and has already received more than 550,000 views. The campaign has helped MyGate record a 149 per cent increase in engagement on their targeted services so far. The following films will be aired next month.
Commenting on the campaign, MyGate head of marketing Ranjit Behera said “At MyGate, we have been consistently in innovation mode and there’s always a new story to tell our users. Knock Knock jokes, especially around homeowners going to their neighbours for basic requirements, have always been popular amongst people in the age group of 35+. The majority of our core target audience is from this demographic, and we have received excellent feedback from our users on the campaign. We look forward to highlighting more of MyGate’s dynamic solutions to our customers through the campaign.”
While AutmunGrey senior vice president of integration and growth Bodh Deb said, “At AutumnGREY Mumbai we have always strived to identify a creative device to create video content, which marries topicality with the brand’s purpose.”
“We have delivered many instrumental campaigns which have become synonymous with the brand’s personality. The Knock Knock device we thought was an interesting approach to tell MyGate’s story as it brings forth the true essence of gated community living,” Deb added.

Zscaler, Airtel launch India AI Cyber Research Centre
New hub to boost cyber resilience and trusted AI use
NEW DELHI: As India’s digital engine roars ahead, so do the risks riding shotgun. In response, Zscaler, Inc. and Bharti Airtel have joined hands to launch the AI and Cyber Threat Research Center – India, a national initiative aimed at strengthening the country’s cyber defences and accelerating responsible AI adoption.
The centre is designed as a multi stakeholder platform that brings together industry, government and academia. Its mission is clear: protect critical sectors such as telecom, banking and energy, shield everyday digital users, and future proof India’s fast expanding online ecosystem.
India has long been a major innovation hub for Zscaler, with a substantial portion of its cyber research talent based here. With this new centre, that footprint evolves into a national collaboration engine. The idea is simple but ambitious, build in India, for India, and help power the country’s journey towards a secure and digitally self reliant future.
The timing is telling. India is building digital systems at population scale, not just enterprise scale. That scale has widened the attack surface dramatically. At the same time, cyber criminals and nation state actors are deploying AI to scan, probe and exploit vulnerabilities in minutes.
Zscaler’s research arm, ThreatLabz India, reports millions of infiltration attempts every month. These include espionage campaigns linked to regional geopolitical tensions, 1.2 million intrusion attempts from 20,000 sources targeting 58 Indian digital entities, and a rise in zero day exploit attempts across multiple industries.
In such an environment, perimeter based security models are struggling to keep pace. The new centre aims to push a shift towards secure by design systems and Zero Trust architecture.
Its strategy rests on four pillars: protect through real time intelligence, remediate by working directly with government agencies, facilitate adoption of AI driven security and Zero Trust frameworks, and build a stronger cybersecurity talent pipeline through specialised certifications.
As founding members, Zscaler and Airtel will combine global threat intelligence with local network visibility. Zscaler will deploy a dedicated India focused research team and draw insights from its Zero Trust Exchange platform, which processes over 500 billion daily transactions worldwide. Airtel, meanwhile, will contribute deep visibility into IoT and mobile traffic, helping detect suspicious activity faster and coordinate response across the ecosystem.
Bharti Airtel executive vice chairman Gopal Vittal, said the partnership extends Airtel’s commitment to safeguarding customers and the nation’s digital fabric. He added that the collaboration would address challenges unique to the Indian market and encourage secure and confident digital engagement.
Zscaler chief executive, chairman and founder Jay Chaudhry, said India’s digital ambition cannot be secured with legacy firewalls and VPNs. He noted that a modern Zero Trust architecture is essential for a hyper connected world and that the new centre would harness the scale of Zscaler’s global security cloud while empowering a new generation of Indian cyber defenders.
Additional members from critical public and private sectors are expected to join the initiative in the coming months, expanding its scope and deepening collaboration.
In a world where threats travel at machine speed, India’s answer is to think faster, collaborate wider and build smarter.
