MUMBAI: Netmeds.com continues to maximise its relationship with the icon who is, arguably, India’s most beloved celebrity, athlete and role model, MS Dhoni.

Its first TVC release, The Gamechanger, set in the board room as the “selection committee” sets out to find the next great player, garnered millions of views as well as new customers, and its newest iteration promises to be just as entertaining.

This time, Netmeds has moved from the board room to the locker room, with a surprise twist. Putting the company’s brand ambassador Dhoni in the locker room, and reprising his real-life role as a team leader, gives him an opportunity to exhort his teammates to “be fast, to be strong, because the country is depending on you,” words similar to those that he has spoken many times to his teammates. But when the camera pans out, the big “reveal” shows that the “team” is comprised not of Indian cricketers, but of the Netmeds’ young and eager delivery team - a smart way of tying Dhoni’s leadership skills to the dedication and work ethic of the Netmeds team.

The TVC follows up on the previous message that established the brand as the “Gamechanger” in the online pharma space and emphasises the importance and the USP of fast and dependable delivery

netmeds.com founder and CEO Pradeep Dadha says, “We’ve become the online pharmacy market leader by realising the need for intelligent, far-reaching and quick healthcare solutions in urban and rural areas, and fulfilling that need. A nation battling an annual rise in chronic diseases and faced with a shortage of doctors and limited access to medicine in 3rd and 4th tier cities and towns, needed a Gamechanger. That’s how we see our role and the public is telling us they agree.”

MS Dhoni adds on his role in the new TVC, “It was a fun and easy to work in a setting where I’m so comfortable. I do believe Netmeds is a game-changer and I’m glad to support any effort that will make the country healthier.”
