Talking about the idea behind the show, Pooja Sharma revealed that the concept was not built overnight. “For the past few years, we have been constantly working on different ideas to uplift India’s business community. We realized that businesses don’t just need advice—they need visibility, branding, and the right platform. That’s when we decided to create Business Care TV Show,” she said.

According to her, the concept took nearly two years of planning and development, but the vision was always clear—to create a platform that delivers real growth. What makes the show stand out is its emotional and relatable approach. Being an entrepreneur herself, Pooja Sharma believes she understands the mindset of business owners better than anyone. “I am also an entrepreneur, so I know exactly what challenges a business ownerfaces—whether it’s growth, investment, or recognition. That’s why we designed this show in a way that truly connects with them,” she explained .

It is also emerging as a strong platform for companies planning IPOs and those looking to expand globally. Each episode is carefully crafted over 15–25 days, ensuring quality, depth, and impact. Over time, the platform has evolved into a complete business ecosystem offering branding, call center support, and dealer-distributor network development.

Rashmika and Ranveer in the new TV Commercial by Kajaria

Built on the insight that thoughtfully designed homes naturally attract admiration, the commercial positions superior tiles and bathware as effortless conversation starters. The film features Ranveer Singh and Rashmika Mandanna as an accomplished Army couple hosting a senior Brigadier and his wife at their picturesque hillside home. Through understated moments of appreciation — from outdoor pathways and elegant living spaces to refined kitchen finishes and Kerovit bath fittings — the narrative subtly highlights Kajaria’s design excellence.

Blending warmth, pride, humour and relatability, the TVC concludes with a powerful message: when you choose Kajaria Tiles and Kerovit bathware, appreciation is inevitable — because “Log Toh Poochenge Hi”.

Conceptualized as a high-visibility brand push, the campaign continues Kajaria’s strategy of combining celebrity-led storytelling with sharp consumer insight to reinforce aspiration, recall and product credibility across India’s rapidly preimmunizing housing market. By seamlessly integrating both tiles and bathware within one cohesive narrative, the film further strengthens Kajaria’s positioning as a comprehensive premium home solutions brand.

Commenting on the association, Mr. Chetan Kajaria, Vice Chairman at Kajaria Ceramics Ltd. said, “At Kajaria, we are constantly evolving to stay aligned with the aspirations of modern Indian consumers. Bringing Rashmika Mandanna on board alongside Ranveer Singh reflects our commitment to building a strong cultural connect with homeowners across regions, We look forward to leveraging this powerful partnership to further strengthen our engagement with customers and inspire beautiful living spaces across the country.”

Commenting on the campaign, Mr. Rishi Kajaria, Managing Director at Kajaria Ceramics Ltd. said, “With ‘Log Toh Poochenge Hi,’ our objective is to elevate the brand conversation towards emotion and brand ownership while showcasing modern design and uncompromised quality. Today’s consumers see their homes as an expression of identity, and Kajaria’s tiles and Kerovit bathware play a central role in enabling that aspiration. Bringing Indian cinema’s force Ranveer Singh and Rashmika Mandanna together in a relatable, story-led narrative allows us to strengthen Kajaria’s positioning as a complete premium home solutions brand while expanding our reach across every corner of the country, especially in the southern markets.”

Ranveer Singh added: “What I love about this campaign is how relatable the insight is — when you build a home with care and great design, it naturally becomes special. The film showcases that pride in a very fun, slice-of-life way. Shooting this with Rashmika was great, and I think audiences will really enjoy how the campaign put smiles on faces.”

Rashmika Mandanna said, “This phase of life makes the idea of ‘home’ feel even more special to me, which is why this film felt very close to my heart. It beautifully captures how a home isn’t just about how it looks, but how it reflects your journey and the life you’re building together. The story has a lovely warmth to it, and shooting it with Ranveer brought such fun and easy chemistry that I think audiences will truly feel on screen.”

The TVC is being rolled out across television and digital platforms, supported by outdoor, print and cinema amplification. Kajaria expects the campaign to further strengthen brand salience in the premium category while driving cross-category adoption between tiles and bathware as it scales its integrated home solutions strategy. 

BIG FM & Adani Group creative

The campaign made a significant impact with a nationwide content roadblock on its first leg, ensuring every BIG FM listener was introduced to Suraj Bhaiya’s story. Over 80 RJs produced 250+ content pieces across the network, reaching 2.91 crore listeners on radio. The impact was amplified digitally with 21 million+ impressions across BIG Live and the RJs’ social media platforms, sparking curiosity, driving emotional engagement and encouraging audiences to reflect on the role of clean energy in daily life.

Seamless on-ground execution created strong buzz as BIG FM and the Adani Group set a record with the world’s first dual city solar powered live radio broadcast, with studios in Delhi and Pune running entirely on solar energy without grid or diesel support. This pioneering step in sustainable broadcasting earned recognition from both the Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records, setting a proud benchmark for the industry.

On social media, audiences engaged with practical tips, village stories and exclusive behind-the-scenes content, while on-ground activations across Delhi, Pune, Modhera, Indore and Lucknow brought the message alive through solar-powered Studio, music and pledge walls that turned awareness into action. These activations were further amplified with the Solar Rooftop Studio Shift in Modhera, Indore and Lucknow which highlighted inspiring stories of real solar beneficiaries alongside the engagements.

Sharing his thoughts, Sunil Kumaran, CEO, BIG FM, said, “The ‘Story of Suraj’ campaign is a testament to how creativity can drive a meaningful change. At BIG FM, we’ve always championed stories that resonate and this collaboration with Adani Group allowed us to deliver the message of sustainability in powerful new ways. From creating the world’s first dual-city solar-powered broadcast to earning recognition in the Asia Book of Records and the India Book of Records, the campaign set new benchmarks in purpose-driven innovation. These milestones prove that when purpose meets innovation, the impact can extend far beyond the airwaves.”

Taking the message to the grassroots, BIG FM went live from Modhera Gram Panchayat – India’s first fully solar-powered village, celebrating its complete transition to renewable energy and giving listeners a real glimpse of a clean-energy future. Moving seamlessly from the airwaves to social media and on-ground engagement, it became a movement that inspired participation, sparked conversations and left a blueprint for future purpose-led initiatives.

Red FM's Guthli Returns Campaign: Collects 1 Million Mango Guthlis

Guthli Returns was a movement based on collecting mango seeds, turning them into saplings, and donating them to farmers below the poverty line. Listeners actively participated by visiting our stations or sending their contributions via courier. The Rotary Club of Mumbai pledged an additional 1,500 seeds to the initiative. An eight-month pregnant woman in Thane and Mahim organized 50 volunteers to contribute 5,000 seeds. RJ Malishka and listeners travelled to Murbad to engage with farmers, hosted by the agriculture department.

A group in Nashik sent a tempo with 1 lakh seeds, significantly boosting our collection efforts. Schools and colleges contributed thousands of seeds. Brands like Madhuban restaurant and Meetha by Radisson Hotels joined the cause, promising 3000 and 5000 seeds respectively. The Municipal Commissioner of Navi Mumbai adopted the campaign, promising widespread participation and an additional 1 lakh seeds.

Speaking on the announcement, Nisha Narayanan, Director & COO, of Red FM, and Magic FM, said, “As the name speaks for itself, ‘Guthli Returns’ was a Red FM initiative to give back to the farmers. Urban life might have distanced us from our agricultural roots but ‘Guthli Returns’ as a campaign had several touchpoints. We had aimed to bridge the gap between urban life and rural life, evoke responsibility in citizens of India, secure the future of farmers, and save our beloved national fruit mango from becoming extinct. We are beside ourselves to report that with the support of Indian citizens, we have been able to make a tangible difference in saving farmers and their livelihoods and mangoes. We are immensely proud of the nation for pouring in Guthlis and working for a greater cause together and towards social change.”
