Blends cultural faith with practical safety for remote rides. Rolled out at bike rental spots, bikers’ cafés, and flag dispensers in key hubs.
Aashish Midha, Head of Marketing, Hero MotoCorp: “Rider safety’s core to us, the world’s top motorcycle and scooter maker. Prayers for Safety shares the load in tough spots with culturally smart solutions.”
Kartik Smetacek, Chief Creative Officer, Saatchi & Saatchi India, added, “This was one of those ideas that was as useful as it was clever. Not just to identify the problem, but to solve for it in such a simple, elegant way – by transforming something symbolic into something practical. Huge credit to our wonderful clients at Hero MotoCorp for backing the idea and rolling it out at scale.”
