The film has been designed by the creative minds at Ogilvy.
In this captivating TVC, Polycab presents a heartwarming narrative that perfectly aligns with their new brand positioning – “Ideas.Connected.” The story unfolds within a home where innovative electrical solutions seamlessly blend with everyday life. As the film commences, a couple shares a romantic moment, and intelligent lighting installations respond to their presence, setting the perfect ambiance for their friends’ arrival. The lights adapt to the guests’ vibe, illustrating the notion that your home should understand you as well as you understand it.
The next scene features a grandpa navigating his way through the dark room. Touching the walls activates them, providing him with a guiding light. This showcases the idea that even walls can have a heart, and they too can express warmth and care. Further, a ceiling fan transforms into an artistic marvel, adjusting its speed based on the occupants’ comfort levels. The TVC emphasizes how your home’s elements, like the roof, can respond to non-verbal cues, fostering a deeper connection.
The film then introduces a child, engrossed in reading, while a drone light follows his steps. This imagery signifies that even when you’re alone, your home can provide companionship and support. Lastly, a playful sibling rivalry unfolds as a sister and brother adjust home settings to their liking. This amusing scenario illustrates how your home can understand and accommodate the preferences of each family member. This TVC beautifully encapsulates Polycab’s brand transformation, showcasing how their innovative products connect ideas and people. With the tagline “Ideas. Connected.” Polycab envisions a future where homes are intuitive, responsive, and deeply connected to the needs and desires of their inhabitants.
Polycab India executive president and chief marketing officer Nilesh Malani stated, “We are thrilled to unveil Polycab’s brand refresh, which is more than just a change in appearance; it’s a profound shift in our brand’s essence and the way we connect with our customers. Our new brand positioning, ‘Ideas. Connected.’ reflects our commitment to innovative solutions that seamlessly integrate into everyday life. Our latest TVC, ‘Ghar Jo Aapko Samjhe,’ captures the heart of this transformation. It showcases how our electrical solutions make homes not just smarter but also more intuitive and empathetic. We believe that this campaign, along with our renewed marketing strategy, will leave a lasting impression and create strong brand recall among our audience, paving the way for a future where homes truly understand and respond to our needs.”
Adding to this, Ogilvy India group president VR Rajesh said, “Polycab’s new positioning is ‘Ideas. Connected’. It is about having a culture of meaningful innovation that will be at the core of all their offerings. This requires rethinking and re-engineering the way they approach product development. To bring this thinking alive to our consumers we had to show them what this vision will fructify into in the future. A home that intuitively understands what you need and makes it a place truly built around your life.”

IndiGo names William Walsh CEO
Former IATA chief to take charge in August after Elbers exit, Bhatia steers interim
India’s biggest airline has moved fast and gone global. InterGlobe Aviation, which operates IndiGo, has tapped aviation heavyweight William Walsh as chief executive officer, subject to regulatory approvals, marking a sharp pivot as the carrier eyes its next burst of expansion.
Walsh, currently director general at the International Air Transport Association, will step down on July 31, 2026, and is expected to take charge by August 3. The appointment comes barely three weeks after Pieter Elbers exited the corner office, with Rahul Bhatia holding the fort in the interim.
The choice signals intent. Walsh brings decades of cockpit-to-boardroom experience, having led British Airways and later International Airlines Group, the parent of Aer Lingus, Iberia and Vueling. His tenure across carriers has been defined by hard resets, restructurings and cross-border consolidation—skills IndiGo may need as competition intensifies and scale becomes decisive.
Vikram Singh Mehta, chairman and non-executive independent director of IndiGo, said Walsh’s experience in managing large-scale airline operations and navigating complex market dynamics makes him well-suited to lead IndiGo in an increasingly competitive global aviation environment, adding that the appointment marks a new chapter as the airline scales in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.
Rahul Bhatia said Walsh’s global perspective, operational expertise and customer-focused approach would be critical as IndiGo enters its next phase of expansion.
Walsh, widely regarded as one of the industry’s most influential figures, will oversee overall management and strategic direction, with a mandate spanning operational performance, network expansion, commercial strategy and customer experience. He is expected to work closely with the board and leadership team to sharpen IndiGo’s growth trajectory.
Walsh said IndiGo has a strong foundation and is well-positioned to capitalise on the evolving aviation landscape, adding that he looks forward to fostering a culture of excellence, innovation and sustainable value creation across the organisation.
A new captain, a bigger runway—and a market that rewards scale. IndiGo is lining up for its next take-off.
