Sun Pharma’s ‘Heart ke Liye 8’ campaign crosses 24.1 million views
14.3 million on Youtube, 9.8 million on Meta drive heart health awareness.
MUMBAI: A strong heart may not trend every day but this one clearly did. Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited’s public awareness campaign ‘Heart ke Liye 8 – Making India Heart Strong’ has clocked 24.1 million views since its launch on 26 February 2026, signalling growing traction for preventive health messaging in India. The campaign has garnered 14.3 million views on Youtube and 9.8 million across Meta platforms, extending its reach further through integrations on connected TV, Tata 1mg and news and gaming apps.
At its core, the initiative focuses on a simple idea, heart health is built daily, not occasionally. Anchored by a relatable “Heart-strong Man” character, the campaign translates medical advice into everyday actions nudging individuals towards consistent lifestyle changes rather than reactive care.
The messaging is structured around eight pillars of cardiovascular health, including better eating habits, physical activity, weight management, monitoring blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol levels, avoiding tobacco, regular check-ups, stress management and adequate sleep.
The campaign is part of a broader national push under the ‘Making India Heart Strong’ programme, which combines awareness with on-ground interventions. Sun Pharma has been running over 10,000 heart screening camps annually, covering more than 1.2 lakh individuals, while CPR training initiatives have reached over 1.5 lakh people each year. Patient education programmes, meanwhile, engage over 15 million individuals annually through clinics and outreach efforts.
With cardiovascular diseases continuing to be a leading cause of mortality in India, the campaign’s scale reflects a shift in public health communication where digital reach meets behavioural nudges.
As the numbers suggest, the message is landing: when it comes to heart health, small steps repeated often may be the biggest win.

G-Shock launches GA-2100CM series with camouflage design
New sand and grey variants priced at Rs 10,995 each in India.
MUMBAI: Time just got a little more tactical and a lot more stylish. G-Shock has unveiled the GA-2100CM series, a fresh update to its popular GA-2100 line, bringing a camouflage twist to one of its most recognisable silhouettes. For the first time in the 2100 series, the watches feature G-Shock’s original camouflage pattern, subtly embedding the brand’s signature ‘G’ motif into the design. The move signals a shift towards more design-led storytelling, blending rugged functionality with fashion-forward detailing.
The new series introduces two colour variants sand (GA-2100CM-5A) and grey (GA-2100CM-8A) extending the model’s appeal across both streetwear and outdoor-inspired aesthetics. Built around the brand’s signature octagonal bezel and hybrid analogue-digital display, the watches retain a clean, modern look while adding layered visual depth.
Under the hood, the GA-2100CM continues to lean on performance. It features the Carbon Core Guard structure for durability, while maintaining a slim, lightweight profile suited for everyday wear. Functional elements include world time across 31 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, LED light and 200-metre water resistance.
In line with evolving material choices, select components use bio-based resin, pointing to a gradual shift towards more sustainable design without compromising on toughness.
Priced at Rs 10,995, the GA-2100CM series is available across Casio India stores and online platforms.
As watch brands continue to balance utility with identity, G-Shock’s latest drop makes its intent clear, durability may be the legacy, but design is the new frontier.
