Piping up for good Seagram’s Travel Gear backs real change makers
MUMBAI: Goodness, it seems, never goes out of style and now it comes with luggage tags. Seagram’s 100 Pipers Travel Gear, best known for championing causes bigger than commerce, has unveiled its latest campaign spotlighting real-life champions of change who live the brand’s philosophy of Be Remembered for Good.
The new film features an eclectic cast of changemakers: actor and Climate Warrior Bhumi Pednekar, actor and philanthropist Kunal Kapoor, lake conservationist Anand Malligavad, and eco-conscious entrepreneur Taran Chhabra, co-founder of Neeman’s. Together, they lend star power and substance to a campaign that urges society to put purpose before vanity.
The film captures their journeys from film sets and boardrooms to lakesides and sustainable workshops proving that small acts, when scaled, ripple into movements.
Pednekar, a vocal advocate for climate awareness, has channelled her celebrity into supporting NGOs, funding climate-related podcasts and documentaries, and hosting sustainability events. “I believe in doing things not just for a good life but for the greater good of our world,” she said, describing her partnership with 100 Pipers as a natural extension of her Climate Warrior role.
Ketto.com co-founder Kunal Kapoor who founded India’s largest crowdfunding platform framed his story through responsibility: “With great power comes great responsibility. I’ve championed a platform that ignites compassion, transforming small deeds into profound impacts.”
Malligavad, once a techie and now India’s most recognised lake revivalist, has restored Bengaluru’s water bodies since 2017, inspiring similar efforts nationwide. “My commitment to lake revival is equalled by my passion to inspire others to join this vital cause,” he said.
Meanwhile, Chhabra has reimagined footwear with Neeman’s, creating sustainable shoes that turn plastic into purposeful steps. “In my efforts to blend success with a cause, I have transformed plastic into steps towards a better world,” he remarked, echoing the brand’s ethos.
Launched under the Be Remembered for Good banner, the campaign is more than a glossy commercial. It is a clarion call to action, urging consumers to celebrate those who create ripples of change and to pick up the baton themselves.
By putting real changemakers centre stage, Seagram’s 100 Pipers Travel Gear has chosen to showcase that heroism doesn’t just belong to fictional characters, it thrives in citizens who fight for clean water, climate justice, sustainable fashion, and compassion at scale.
Because when it comes to leaving a legacy, this brand is reminding everyone: travel light, but carry goodness.

MUMBAI: It’s about time India’s next wave got a global spotlight and now, it’s on the list. New York-headquartered Time is expanding its TIME100 Next franchise to India, partnering with Reliance Industries Limited to launch TIME100 Next India, its first international extension of the rising leaders platform.
