HDFC Life, one of India’s leading life insurers, has delivered thoughtful brand campaigns over the years that drive positivity and empower individuals to consider living their lives with financial security that resonates with brand’s motto ‘Sar Utha Ke Jiyo’.

BounceBack Batch has focused on the story of every Indian student during this pandemic

While the world has witnessed unprecedented challenges related to health, mental well-being, employment, and financial stability, one cohort that has seen the downsides due to the restriction caused by the pandemic is the student community. Research suggests that students have been one of the most affected groups. It became necessary for them to adapt to online schooling, avoid social interactions and even stay indoors without stepping out for any sporting activities. The pandemic-induced restrictions have impacted their lives drastically.

With this campaign, HDFC Life has focused on the story of every Indian student during this pandemic from the lens of a graduating school girl. Through various anecdotes and life stories, the girl narrates that while children like her faced difficulties on multiple levels, the support from parents on both financial planning and emotional fronts enabled them to succeed. Graduating in these uncertain times is a testament to their resilience which makes the current batch of students stand out from every other batch.

Through this campaign, the brand aims to showcase that unwavering support from the family and the assurance of life insurance can enable one to bounce back from any challenge.

Speaking about the brand campaign, Vishal Subharwal, Head – Marketing, Digital Business, and E-commerce, HDFC Life, said, “The last two years have been difficult for everyone. This phase has been especially challenging for students as they have lost out on classroom learning, interpersonal skill-building and some of the best days of their lives.

But the part that stands out is the bigger story about the resilience demonstrated by these students and their families.With this campaign, we aim to drive this realisation and the importance of financial planning through a student’s lens, instilling a sense of pride in parents who have ensured that their children overcome the challenges posed by the pandemic. Thereby, helping them script a strong bounce back.”

Adding further, Rajdeepak Das, CEO & Chief Creative Officer – South Asia, Leo Burnett said, “One of the biggest setbacks of the pandemic was the shutdown of educational institutions. The batch of 2022 is often referred to as the ‘COVID batch’, having had to complete their studies under lockdown. There is often a question whether these students are at par with the others who completed their school years offline. Our film takes the audiences on an emotional journey of the turmoil that these champions had to go through and the resilience they have shown in the face of the worst adversity humankind has ever seen. They have persevered and bounced back stronger from this challenge.”

The brand campaign is available across multi-media platforms – Television, Digital and DTH
