SBI’s quirky commercial pushes for EMI on debit card offering
NEW DELHI: SBI has launched a campaign titled #KhushiyanOnEMI to promote its EMI through debit card facility. Through this facility, consumers can make high ticket purchases like new durables, electronics or even jewellery items and convert them to easy monthly instalments, without causing much of a dent in their finances.
Facilities like these were previously only available through credit cards, consumer durable loans or personal loans, which involved longer processes and stringent financial background checks. This made it impossible for a section of the population to afford them. With the debit card EMI, consumers can get pre-approved loans with no documentation and KYC Verification.
Conceptualised by Rediffusion Brand Solutions, three quirky films have been rolled out highlighting the offering. The first film opens with a father installing a new TV at home. The son is taken aback, followed by the father revealing that a new TV will help make a good impression on his son’s special friend who is visiting the next day. The second film showcases a humorous mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo, in which the daughter-in-law gifts the former a new tablet to complain to her son. The third film features a pair of siblings, of whom the sister is vegetarian and the brother non-vegetarian. The brother asks why there is a new double door refrigerator in their kitchen. The sister explains that one door is hers and the other his, so no more bickering for fridge space.
Rediffusion Brand Solutions executive creative director and Mumbai creative head Pramod Sharma said, “What happens when you have the power of EMIs on your debit card? Buying things for loved ones becomes easier than ever. Through three quirky films we have tried to establish this fact.”
The films have been released on the digital platform and will soon be taken to television to ensure greater reach amongst the intended target group.

Centrum taps into daily fatigue with new Har Din Ko Kar Recharge campaign
New film highlights how a quick nutrient boost can turn everyday tiredness into energy
MUMBAI: In a bid to connect with India’s always-on lifestyle, Centrum has rolled out a new campaign titled ‘Har Din Ko Kar Recharge’, spotlighting the everyday struggle with fatigue and the need for simple, accessible wellness solutions.
The campaign, launched by Haleon, promotes Centrum Recharge, an effervescent energy drink mix designed to replenish essential micronutrients lost during daily activity. Priced at Rs 10 per sachet, the product combines Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Magnesium, and Zinc to support energy, hydration, and immunity in a convenient format.
At the heart of the campaign is a light-hearted film that brings a relatable slice of life to the screen. It follows a tired young man who is unexpectedly challenged to a street game by a child. Initially reluctant, he turns to a Centrum Recharge sachet, after which his energy visibly returns, allowing him to join in with enthusiasm. The narrative neatly ties into the brand’s core message that small nutritional boosts can make a big difference in daily vitality.
Speaking on the launch, Haleon ISC head wellness & OTC Deepali Agarwal said the campaign aims to bring attention back to everyday energy and participation. She highlighted that modern routines often leave people feeling drained, and solutions like Centrum Recharge can help bridge nutritional gaps while encouraging a more active lifestyle.
The brand is also positioning the product as part of a larger push to democratise multivitamin consumption in India, especially at a time when micronutrient deficiencies remain widespread. With variants for both kids and adults and availability across retail, pharmacies, and quick commerce platforms, the company is betting on accessibility as a key growth driver.
The campaign will be amplified across digital and television platforms nationwide, supported by on-ground activations, sampling initiatives, and e-commerce visibility. As Centrum leans into the everyday energy conversation, its latest push makes a clear pitch. Staying energised, it suggests, might just be as simple as hitting refresh on your daily routine.
