Truecaller launches ‘Desh ka Truecaller’ brand campaign
Mumbai: Truecaller, the global platform for verifying contacts and blocking unwanted communication, has launched a brand campaign called ‘Desh ka Truecaller.’ The campaign launch is also accompanied by the launch of India-specific handles for Twitter and Instagram.
India is Truecaller’s biggest market and this campaign aims to strengthen the brand’s connection with its Indian users and reinforce the company’s commitment to make the country spam-free, said the statement. The platform worked with DCMN, an international growth marketing partner for digital brands to launch its latest nationwide TV advertising campaign.
The film has been curated by Mind Fluid, an agency partner of Truecaller. The idea came out of the long association that the brand has had with the country and its people. Through a duo of films and a host of digital and outdoor creatives, the campaign follows the stories of people across generations and endearing everyday real-life instances, and how Truecaller’s solutions help them ‘take the right call.’
“There are many Indias in India – full of stories, full of insights. And Truecaller as a brand has been built around these stories and insights,” shared Mind Fluid creative director Harita Rao, on the new campaign. “And that is what Desh ka Truecaller is all about – little anecdotes from life. Our hearts swell with warmth and there was a constant smile on our faces while creating Desh ka Truecaller.”
“India is our home market and our community has always been like our North Star, guiding us and helping us grow rapidly by spreading a positive word of mouth for us,” said Truecaller India director of marketing Manan Shah on the launch. “It gives us great pride that more than 20 crore Indians trust us, which is nearly half of the number of cell phone users in India. The message of this campaign is that of trust and to reassure people using Truecaller that we will continue to keep their communications safe and efficient.”
“Truecaller is an incredible success story in India, and we’re delighted to have worked with them on their newest campaign – one that will resonate with consumers across India”, commented DCMN country manager – India Bindu Balakrishnan. “Truecaller came to us to help them carry out a high-impact national and regional campaign with a strong focus on tier 2 & 3 cities, and we’re looking forward to tracking the success of the campaigns with our tailored brand awareness research – an invaluable resource for any brand looking to scale.”
The campaign is crafted around the thought that most relationships are based on trust. No matter how independent and learned we become, we still look for the opinions of our friends, families, and confidants before deciding on something. It is a part of our DNA to put trust in something only after thorough scrutinisation, shared the communication app company.

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. The announcement was made at the Time100 Gala in New York by Jessica Sibley and Nita Mukesh Ambani, signalling a strategic push to tap into India’s growing influence across sectors.
The India edition will recognise 100 emerging leaders from the country and the global Indian diaspora, spanning business, science, sports, arts and social impact. The list will be curated by Time’s editorial team and published online, continuing the franchise’s focus on identifying individuals shaping the future.
The initiative will culminate in a gala event scheduled for December 2026 at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, anchoring the platform within India’s cultural and business ecosystem.
TIME’s broader Time100 franchise has steadily expanded its global footprint since 2021 through events and impact-led initiatives. Executives noted that India’s growing pool of influential voices and innovators made it a natural next step for the platform’s international ambitions.
For Reliance, the partnership aligns with its broader push to support emerging talent and ideas on a global stage. For Time, it marks a timely bet on India not just as a market, but as a talent engine shaping the next chapter of global leadership.
