Commenting on the campaign, Shivam Puri, MD & CEO, Cipla Health Ltd. said, "Cipladine has long been a trusted name in first aid, making it India's No. 1 antiseptic ointment. With our new 'Fast Aid' campaign, we're redefining timely care, delivering quick, effective relief when it's needed most. This latest narrative reaffirms Cipladine's place as a household essential, trusted across both urban and rural India. We're delighted to have Neena Gupta bring her authenticity and wide appeal to help take this message forward."
Conceptulised by Lowe Lintas, the new campaign creatively brings the 'fast action' benefit of Cipladine to life through a series of films featuring Neena Gupta and Shashie Verma. In these quirky and relatable stories, Neena, a meticulous and quick-witted character, is often seen outpacing her slow, laid-back assistant, echoing Cipladine's rapid action on wounds.
Neena Gupta, Actress & Brand Ambassador, shared her excitement about the association, saying, "As someone who believes in tackling life head-on, I love the idea of being associated with a product that does the same. Cipladine is quick, reliable, and versatile, it reminds me of the kind of roles I enjoy doing. Being a part of this campaign was a delightful experience."
Sharing his thoughts, Subramanyeswar S. Group CEO - India & Chief Strategy Officer - APAC, MullenLowe Global said, "Cipladine has long held the leadership position in its category, but true leadership lies not in maintaining the status quo, it lies in continuously raising the bar. We asked ourselves: how can a leader lead even more distinctively? The answer emerged in a powerful insight - speed - a critical need in first aid. That's when we reimagined Cipladine not just as a product, but as a solution--a FASTAID EXPERT in the world of FIRSTAID solutions."
Sarvesh Raikar, President (Creative), Lowe Lintas added, "The category of first aid solutions has been quite predictable in its problem-solution communication approach. We needed to break the clutter with a fresh tone of voice. The idea of an ultra-efficient boss and her quests to set things right without wasting time served as a perfect backdrop to launch our refreshed brand idea - to move from 'FIRST-AID to 'FAST-AID' Expert. The chronicles of Neena Gupta and her secretary Sashi Verma, directed by the national-award winning director Vivek Dubey, effortlessly bring alive our new narrative of speed, while also bringing a smile on the viewers faces."
The campaign is now live across TV, digital, print, OOH and trade visibility assets, to ensure maximum reach and engagement.

AIDCF Calls on MIB to Reject TRAI's Proposal on DTH License Fee Reduction
Urges Government to Uphold Competitive Balance and Spectrum Equity in Broadcasting Sector NEW DELHI, July 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The All India Digital Cable Federation (AIDCF) has submitted a formal representation to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) opposing the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) recommendation to reduce and eventually waive the license fee currently levied on Direct-to-Home (DTH) operators. AIDCF, India's apex body representing Digital Multi-System Operators (MSOs), has expressed serious concerns over the far-reaching consequences of this proposal. If accepted, it would deepen the regulatory imbalance between DTH and digital cable operators and jeopardize the viability of over 880 MSOs and 1.6 lakh Local Cable Operators (LCOs) nationwide. The potential fallout could also impact over 10 lakh livelihoods directly tied to the cable TV distribution sector. "This move threatens the very foundation of equitable competition in the broadcasting distribution space. Spectrum for DTH is already allocated administratively—without auction or cost—whereas cable operators continue to bear substantial Right of Way (RoW) charges and heavy capital expenditure on underground infrastructure. Any waiver of license fees would not only distort the market but also violate the principle of regulatory neutrality," said an AIDCF spokesperson. Reducing license fee for DTH will accelerate subscriber churn from digital cable TV operators, who as per AIDCF, are already struggling under financial duress due other unregulated platforms like Free Dish, FAST TV, OTTs and Digital DPOs. AIDCF has emphasized that the regulatory framework must reflect the full commercial value of the spectrum allocated to DTH operators. Instead of reducing or waiving the fee, the Federation recommends the development of a more balanced mechanism that ensures fair cost recovery from all platform providers, in line with spectrum valuation norms. AIDCF has urged the Ministry to reject TRAI's recommendation and maintain a level playing field that protects the economic viability of all stakeholders in the broadcasting distribution chain.

HDFC Life Celebrates 25th AGM; Chairman Keki Mistry Highlights Industry Potential and Strong Company Performance
MUMBAI, India, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At its 25th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Mumbai, HDFC Life's Chairman, Mr. Keki Mistry, provided a comprehensive review of the macroeconomic environment, life insurance industry trends, and the company's performance for FY25. Mr. Mistry noted that while global economic uncertainties have eased compared to the previous year, the World Bank's revised growth projections suggest a cautious global outlook, with GDP expected to grow at 2.3% in 2025 and 2.4% in 2026—down from the earlier forecast of 2.7%. India is expected to maintain its growth momentum, driven by private consumption and increased fixed capital formation. Investment activity is likely to improve due to higher capacity utilization, healthier corporate balance sheets, and sustained government capital expenditure. Reflecting on the performance of the Indian life insurance industry, he observed that FY25 witnessed mixed outcomes. Individual Weighted Received Premiums (WRP) rose by 10%, even as the number of policies issued declined by 7%. Private sector insurers, however, showed resilience with a 15% increase in total premiums and a 5% rise in policy count. The total sum assured by Indian life insurers reached ₹102.6 lakh crores as of March 2025—a 16% increase year-on-year. Emphasizing the sector's potential, Mr. Mistry highlighted that life insurance penetration in India remains low at just 2.8%, with the country facing the highest protection gap in Asia at 91%. However, a combination of demographic strengths, rising income levels, digital advancement, and regulatory support positions India as the fastest-growing life insurance market among G20 nations, with an expected CAGR of 7.3% from 2025 to 2029, as per Swiss Re. During the year, HDFC Life delivered a 17% growth in individual WRP, accompanied by a 9% increase in policy issuances and an 8% rise in average ticket size. The company also attained its highest-ever market share of 11.1% in individual WRP, reinforcing its position among the top three private life insurers in the country. Mr. Mistry also reiterated that insurers are tapping into the opportunity by rapidly expanding into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, leveraging the distribution networks of partner banks and microfinance lenders to offer appropriate insurance solutions. The AGM marked a significant milestone in HDFC Life's journey of driving financial protection and resilience for millions of Indian families. About HDFC Life Established in 2000, HDFC Life is a leading, listed, long-term life insurance solutions provider in India, offering a range of individual and group insurance solutions that meet various customer needs such as Protection, Pension, Savings, Investment, Annuity and Health.

Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur Leads the Charge as Heart Attacks in Young Indians Reach Crisis Levels
BENGALURU, India, July 17, 2025/PRNewswire/ -- India is witnessing an alarming public health crisis with heart attacks increasingly striking down young adults. Available reports state that nearly 50% of heart attack patients nationwide are below the age of 45. Striking recent investigations into sudden cardiac arrests and deaths in Hassan District, Karnataka, confirm that one-third of these fatalities were among auto and cab drivers—a profession increasingly recognized as highly vulnerable due to, long hours, erratic schedules, and hazardous environmental exposures. This stark reality has highlighted the need for proactive heart health education and life-saving interventions for communities at risk, especially transport workers who spend most of their day on the road. In this context, CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) training has never been more critical. During a sudden cardiac arrest episode, administering immediate CPR can dramatically increase the victim's chance of survival while they await emergency care. Immediate intervention keeps blood and hope flowing until professional help arrives, making every trained community member a potential lifesaver. CPR Awareness Drive: A Step Toward Safer Streets: In response to this urgent public health need, Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur organized a CPR demonstration and heart health awareness session for over 20 auto rickshaw drivers, led by Mr. Rudramurthy, General Secretary of the Auto Rickshaw Drivers' Union (ARDU). Guided by Dr Prasanna Katti, Senior Consultant – Interventional Cardiology and Dr. Eshwari Devi, Registrar, Cardiology, at Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur, the event aimed to equip participants with tangible, life-saving skills. The session included practical demonstrations using adult male, female, and infant (baby) mannequins, ensuring that participants were equipped to perform CPR on individuals of any age or gender during real-life emergencies. Speaking on the significance of hands-on demonstration, Dr. Eshwari Devi stated, " Learning to perform a CPR and helping a person in a critical condition makes a huge difference in saving a life. Every individual or the first responder trained in CPR becomes a potential hero and a lifesaver for the community." In a move to strengthen emergency response readiness, both doctors not only presided over the event and led CPR training but also personally distributed and affixed Manipal SOS – QR Code stickers to each participant's auto rickshaw. The SOS QR code is Manipal Hospitals innovative technology that enables the first-responder or caregiver to seek swift ambulance support during emergencies by simply scanning the QR code, which is equipped with precise location detection. This ensures that the victim receives care within the critical "Golden Hour"—a move that can make all the difference in survival outcomes. Equipping the participants with further knowledge on general health, wellness, and heart health in particular, Dr. Katti shared health tips tailored for the demanding routines of auto drivers. He discussed the dangers of smoking, the importance of regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and recognizing early signs of heart trouble. "Quit smoking and drinking, also exercise regularly to prevent the chances of a heart attack. Everybody must learn CPR and try their best to save someone who is having a heart attack," he stated. Through this initiative, Manipal Hospital Yeshwanthpur, reaffirms its commitment to preventive care, community outreach, and empowering everyday heroes with the knowledge and skills that can save lives. Manipal Hospitals continues to lead the charge in making advanced cardiac care more accessible, not just inside hospital walls, but out in the community where it matters most.
