Mumbai: AKVO Atmospheric Water Systems Pvt Ltd, the leading AWG manufacturers of the country, strengthened its foothold in the B2C segment, with a breakthrough campaign #OwnYourWater. The pioneering campaign showcases, in a witty way, how water can literally come from thin air. Indeed, when people have their own access to drinking water, they have to be at the mercy of large corporations with deep pockets overcharging them for something that is our basic right. One should not have to keep buying water containers, keep changing filters, keep calling our local shops for a refill every time they are thirsty. It is time to change the system, so the next world war is not fought for man’s most basic need. It is time to de-commodify the world’s biggest commodity.
Elaborating about the campaign, Navkaran Singh Bagga, Founder, and CEO AKVO Atmospheric Water Systems Pvt Ltd stated, “Through this campaign, we wanted to send out a simple yet strong message of #OwnYourWater. In India, less than 50% of the population has no access to safe drinking water and about 200,000 people die every year for the lack of clean water. Half a billion of the world face severe water scarcity all year round. The fact that drinking water is soon going to be a scarce resource is not new information anymore. AKVO Atmospheric Water Generators are the solution to the problem. These machines work on a simple plug-and-play method and consume one unit of electricity to run for an hour. AKVO uses a powerful proprietary organic filtration process that outputs pure drinking water that contains no harmful chemicals, bacteria, viruses, or pesticides. The water collected from the AWG is almost distilled in its collection stage and then minerals are added to the water in the machine itself to make it reach recommended drinking standards. It is time to reduce our dependency on groundwater, bottled water or paying in any form for man’s basic need. We aim to make everyone’s water independent and change the system. When I was looking for partners for the second phase of our growth, the ideas from The Voice Company really stood out in how simple they were, and how interesting, from a content perspective.”The creative mandate has been given to The Voice Company, a hybrid advertising and content agency based out of Gurgaon for its phased-out launch. The Voice Company, founded by Bodhisatwa Dasgupta in 2020, specializes in creating voices for emerging brands, through various mediums. The company has worked closely with Milkbasket, ibis Hotels, MG Motor, Fahrenheit, Cross beats, and a few other accounts.
Bodhisatwa Dasgupta, Founder, and Intern, The Voice Company further added, ‘What really stood out for me was the technology AKVO had built. It was something straight out of a science fiction movie. The films sort of wrote themselves. I am happy that the films have gotten the traction we hoped they would, and the enquiries are beginning to pour in. With the great collaboration of The Hip Element who are revamping the website and the lovely people at DhikChik Productions who turned around the films in record time, I think we have a nice little launch planned.’
