Mumbai, 3^rd October 2024: Greenply Industries Limited, the leading name in India’s interior infrastructure industry, is proud to unveil its latest brand campaign. Following the remarkable success of its Zero Emission TVC, Greenply returns with an exciting new commercial that introduces India’s first bird influencer, the cheeky and quick-witted parrot Gullu. This campaign brings to life Greenply’s unwavering commitment to healthy and safe interiors, encapsulated by the brand’s promise: “Har Zarurat Ka Reply.”

In a rapidly changing market where home interior choices have become an evolved decision, three critical figures take center stage: the fellow consumer, the trustworthy dealer, and the reliable furniture maker, i.e., the contractor. Greenply’s campaign effectively engages all three, fostering a dialogue that resonates with audiences and delivers the brand message clearly.

The choice for Gullu as Greenply’s brand mascot reflects Greenply’s promise to keep things fresh and innovative. Parrots are not just visually striking—they’re also famous for mimicking human speech, making them natural communicators. Even though parrots are known for repeating things, Gullu playfully insists, “Tote ki tarah baar baar ratunga nahi,” poking fun at his own nature, while simultaneously reinforcing Greenply’s guarantee of safety & healthy interiors.

The series of films has been conceptualized as part of the campaign, with the parrot Gullu in humorous yet enlightening scenarios where ordinary plywood poses safety hazards, only to be saved by the superior quality of Greenply Plywood. For instance, in one film, Gullu reassures a dealer during a simulated fire, showcasing the fire-resistant properties of Greenply’s plywood. Another scenario highlights the zero emissions of the E-0 rated products with a contractor, demonstrating Greenply’s innovative edge.

The first film from the series, set in a bustling plywood store, a fire suddenly breaks out near a television set, causing the dealer to panic. Gullu, quickly accesses the situation and reassures the dealer, saying, “Relax, nahi lagegi aag, tote ki tarah baar-baar ratu kya?” The dealer breathes a sigh of relief, realizing his furniture is protected. This strengthens Greenply’s position as an essential partner in creating secure and stylish homes.

“At Greenply, we are committed to leading the way in providing solutions that truly prioritize our customers’ well-being,” said Mr. Sanidhya Mittal, Joint Managing Director of Greenply Industries Limited. “Our products reflect our core values of safety, performance, and sustainability. With the ‘Har Zarurat Ka Reply’ campaign, we aim to position Greenply as the top choice for healthy interiors that not only ensure safety and durability but also enhance the overall living experience. The introduction of Gullu aims to simplify product benefits and connect with our audience in a more appealing and relatable manner.”

Speaking on the campaign, Anurag Agnihotri, CCO, Ogilvy – West, said, “In a market where unbranded plywood options often compromise health and safety, ‘Har Zarurat Ka Reply’ positions Greenply as the trusted choice for quality and well-being. With this campaign – Healthy & Safe Interiors Ka Reply – Greenply, we aim to reinforce Greenply as the go-to brand for healthy and safe spaces —meeting every interior need with care and quality.”
