Veeba targets modern youth in first brand campaign
MUMBAI: Sauces, dressings and dips brand, Veeba, has launched its first national marketing campaign, with a strategy to align itself closely with the creativity in Indian kitchens under the strapline “Aaj Kya Khaoge?”
Starring Amit Sadh and Shruti Seth in an endearing relationship, the campaign aims to inspire and capture the excitement of creating something new and ‘empower’ young Indians to be creative and experiment every day. The campaign was created in partnership with an integrated cross-agency, multi-disciplinary team of TapRoot Dentsu, and MSix.
Set in a modern Indian context, the ads capture the friendly banter between husband and wife, father and daughter, and those moments of truth when you discover the difference that Veeba sauces have made to the meal. ‘Aaj Kya Khaoge’ is the governing thought behind Veeba’s new brand campaign and reflects the insight that there’s an innovator in every kitchen who is waiting for the right springboard and Veeba aims to be that enabler in every kitchen with its wide range of authentic tasting as well as better-for-you products that can unleash that creativity.
VEEBA food services founder and MD Viraj Bahl says, “With Veeba every member of the family could cook and consume the food. One of the most asked question in every household is “Aaj Kya Khaoge?” and our wide range of tasty products aim to answer just that. We have a product for every mood and occasion. Even though we are relatively new in the retail space, the response to our products has been overwhelming. Buoyed by this love and appreciation, we felt it was the right time to invest in increasing the brand awareness and recall, creating a platform for future growth.”
Taproot Dentsu creative head Titus Upputuru adds, “Kitchen is the new playground. Men and women are increasingly finding joy in being creative with food. This is where we found the sweet spot for Veeba’s first television campaign.”
mSix India leader Saket Sinha says, “As the media agency on record for Veeba, mSix is planning to engage consumers with various touch points across a multi- channel integrated campaign. With our deep understanding of the brand and data to support our inference, mSix is rolling out a sharp targeted content driven media campaign that has been created panning across TV, digital and cinema over the next two months. We will put our best to deliver the desired outcome for Veeba.
The campaign has four creative expressions and will be aired across multiple genres such as GEC, English entertainment, movies, music and kids networks.

Navi releases new ‘Hurrypur’ film focused on speed and simplicity
Auto breakdown turns F1-style pit stop in campaign film set to Baalti’s track
MUMBAI: When life’s in the fast lane, Navi wants even your breakdowns to be over in a blink. Navi has rolled out a new film under its ongoing ‘Hurrypur’ campaign, doubling down on its core pitch speed and simplicity in everyday transactions.
The film opens on a familiar hiccup, an autorickshaw breaking down mid-ride. But what follows is anything but ordinary. The repair unfolds like a Formula 1 pit stop swift, precise, almost cinematic. Within seconds, the tyre is replaced, the vehicle is back on the road, and even the fare negotiation wraps up in record time.
Set to US-based musical act Baalti’s track “123”, the film uses rhythm and pacing to mirror its central idea, in a world that moves fast, everything around it must keep up.
The narrative builds on Hurrypur, a fictional world where time is treated as currency and delay is almost obsolete. Through exaggerated yet relatable scenarios, the campaign reflects a broader behavioural shift consumers increasingly expect instant responses, whether from people, platforms or payments.
Navi Limited MD and CEO Rajiv Naresh said the Hurrypur universe is designed to highlight the company’s focus on delivering seamless, time-efficient experiences. Meanwhile, creative agency Sideways and director Ayappa KM leaned into humour and visual energy to push the story beyond a typical product-led narrative.
Instead of listing features, the campaign sticks to storytelling turning a routine inconvenience into a high-speed spectacle.
Because in Navi’s world, even a pit stop refuses to slow things down.
