Netmeds.com shows that each house has a Dhoni
MUMBAI: Online pharmacy Netmeds.com has launched a new campaign featuring its brand ambassador and former captain of India’s men cricket team MS Dhoni. Conceptualised and created by Publicis India, the TVC revolves around the theme that each person has within them an “inner Mahi” who can rise to the occasion, shoulder responsibilities and look out for the members of the family.
Commenting on the campaign Publicis Capital EVP Suraj Pombra said, “Every once in a while, one is rewarded with perfect pitch conditions: (a) a client like Netmeds.com that’s been leading the e-pharmacy market and delivering to satisfied customers across the country, and (b) a brand ambassador like MS Dhoni whose sense of responsibility doesn’t need any introduction. Our team had to rise to the occasion and fulfil our responsibility with an equally powerful communication platform that exploits these conditions to the maximum. ‘Har Ghar Mein Mahi’ leverages the core ethos of both MSD and Netmeds.com. But most importantly the idea is an ode to the Mahi in every home, those who carry the responsibility of taking care of their ailing loved ones, and Netmeds.com is their ally. The idea is delivered through various media formats in film and static, and we hope to extend and expand it as we move on.”
Netmeds.com founder and CEO Pradeep Dadha said, “Netmeds.com is fully geared to handle the specific needs of patients who are dealing with chronic illnesses. And equally important is the caregiver, the person in the household who is entrusted with the task of managing the medical needs of the ailing family member. This new campaign is based on the fundamental concept of distance caring, showing both the patient and the caregiver, that we deliver quality healthcare solutions across the country.”
Netmeds.com director, sales and marketing Anand Pathak said, “We have kicked off our creative partnership with Publicis India with the launch of ‘Har Ghar Mein Mahi’ campaign. The TVC focusses on how Netmeds.com provides easy access to quality healthcare solutions and captains this responsibility, one family at a time.”
Titled “Har Ghar Mein Mahi”, the ad shows that each of us can take the lead in looking out for our family members. The campaign positions Netmeds.com as both the enabler of caregiving, and the definitive, go-to-destination for home delivery of medicines for chronic illnesses.

JioStar pushes HD viewing as default for IPL with Watch on HD campaign
New campaign highlights how younger viewers are driving HD adoption at home
MUMBAI:JioStar is making a clear pitch to cricket fans: if you are watching the Indian Premier League, it might as well be in high definition. The media giant has rolled out its latest Watch on HD campaign, positioning HD viewing not as a luxury but as the new normal for IPL audiences on linear television.
At the heart of the campaign is a light, relatable film set in a typical Indian household. It flips the script on tech adoption, showing a young boy questioning his parents for watching a match in standard definition before switching it to Star Sports HD himself. The message is simple and sharp: even kids know HD is the way to go.
The campaign taps into a broader behavioural shift. Younger viewers are increasingly influencing how families consume content, from streaming habits to display quality. In this case, they are nudging households toward better picture clarity and a more immersive sports experience.
Built around the idea that “even children know the real IPL experience is on HD,” the campaign reflects how deeply HD has embedded itself into everyday viewing. For fans, especially during high-stakes matches, sharper visuals and finer details are no longer optional extras but part of the core experience.
A spokesperson from JioStar said the aim is to mirror how audiences already engage with content today, where HD is widely accessible and easy to adopt. The focus, they added, is on ensuring viewers do not miss the nuances of the game, from a perfectly timed cover drive to the emotion on a player’s face.
With IPL continuing to dominate as one of India’s biggest shared viewing events, JioStar’s campaign underlines a broader industry push: elevate the baseline experience. As HD penetration grows across markets, the company is betting that clearer screens will translate into stronger viewer loyalty and engagement.
In a tournament built on spectacle, JioStar is making its stance clear. For IPL fans, HD is no longer the upgrade. It is the expectation.
