Creating something more than a campaign with a song that hits hard.

Khushiyon se sajta, Yeh Mera Shehar Har chappe se rishta, Yeh Mera Shehar Apnepan ki khushboo, Yeh Mera Shehar Mujh mei hai basta, Yeh Mera Shehar

Khushiyon se sajta, Yeh Mera Shehar
Har chappe se rishta,
Yeh Mera Shehar Apnepan ki khushboo,
Yeh Mera Shehar Mujh mei hai basta, Yeh Mera Shehar

But what was the thought behind making a song?

People's emotions are triggered by songs. A happy song can make you feel on top of the world, whereas a melancholic song can make you feel down. The thing about patriotic songs is that they immediately instill patriotism in the hearts of listeners. We wanted to use this potential of songs in the campaign to bring people together.

To get into the right track, we as always talked to people. There are certain things about cities that Google is not aware of. People live in the cities and the cities live in them.

We asked people what comes to their mind
when they hear the name of their cities.

Hyderabad - Biryani, Pearls, Char Minar, Laad Bazar
Lucknow - Kebabs, Elephants, Rumi Darwaza
Siligudi - Momos, Mountains, Natural beauty
Jabalpur - Bheda ghaat, Museums, Forts, Pani Puri
Indore - Poha-jalebi, Cleanliness

Many such answers helped us set the foundation of the song.

We produced the song titled Yeh Mera Shehere in collaboration with Manik Ahuja and it provided to be the backbone of the campaign.

People participated in the campaign by creating their own hook steps on this song. 264 cities vibed to this song and it is available on 35+ platforms including Spotify, YouTube and Gaana.
