National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI)has floated its firstIndian Premier League campaignRuPay. Be On-The-Go.Featuring Indian iconic fast-bowlerIshant Sharma,the campaign highlights the many benefits of RuPay ON-THE-GO on cards and other convenient form factors such as smartwatches, keychains, mobile stickers, and wristbands.As part of the high decibel campaign, 5 clutter-breaking advertisement films are released on television, OTT, digital, and social media platforms. The brand has also roped in cricket commentator, Harsha Bhogle and former Indian cricketer, Virender Sehwag to endorse the campaign on Twitter.

The filmrevolves around the banter between 3 characters- an Umpire struggling with payments, a batsman who knows how incredible RuPay is, and who takes it upon himself to educate our Umpire on it, and fierce pacer,Ishant Sharma. The Umpire gets so distracted by the amazing & innovative RuPay offerings that the batsman is sharing with him, he doesnt even notice that Ishant Sharma has bowled, rapped the opener on the pads, and is now screamingHowzzaaaatt!,waiting for an OUT from him. What follows is a match freeze where the entire match pauses, as we see Ishant now doing his best to catch the Umpires attention by shouting Howzzatt in hilarious ways. With RuPay on Umpires mind and his conversation with the non-striker still on, he registers Ishants appeal and starts to raise his finger finally shoutingOUT-STANDINGfor RuPay.

Conceptualised by DDB Mudra, the new campaignhas beautifully and humorously captured Ishants dynamic action of Howzat to weave together the films. The campaign also features 4 short films which reinforce the concept in various situations involving payments for international use, for the convenience of paying using RuPay ON-THE-GO enabled watch(at a grocery store) and keychain (at a drive-thru), and for bus/metro travel. The films not only create awareness about RuPay ON-THE-GO but also show how payments can be quick, safe, easy, and hassle-free for customers.

The films underscore the availability and accessibility of the RuPay cards. The advertisements highlight that every bank in India is issuing RuPay Debit cards and a large number of banks and prepaid/credit card players are also issuing RuPay Prepaid and Credit cards. Further, the films also create awareness amongst customers to ensure activating their cards for contactless, e-commerce, and international transactions per the regulatory requirements in India.

RuPay ON-THE-GO allows customers to make small and large value transactions at RuPay contactless-enabled PoS from the accessories they use every day and by using their RuPay cards. Living up to its taglineRuPay. Be On-The-Go, RuPay ON-THE-GO is redefining contactless payments and enabling instantaneous on-the-go payments.
