HDFC Standard Life unveils new brand identity

After 10 successful years in the Indian life insurance industry, the company's brand philosophy 'Sar Utha ke Jiyo' takes a generation leap and it rebrands itself as 'HDFC Life'

HDFC Standard Life, one of India's leading private life insurance companies, on its 10th anniversary year, has unveiled a new brand identity, to create more relevance, and connect with today's youth.

Sanjay Tripathy, Executive Vice President, Marketing & Direct Channels, HDFC Standard Life said, "India is a young nation. Majority of our population is now below the age of 25 and to continue to be successful, it is imperative to be relevant to the changing lifestyles, values and ambitions of the young Indian consumer.

Our new corporate identity is in tune with the changing consumer behavior. It reflects vibrancy and dynamism, uses colours that resonate the 'new age' values for life insurance, weeds out irrelevant clutter, and adds more clarity and sharpness to the logo. The new identity shares higher synergies with our parent – HDFC Ltd. Inspired by the form and colours of the HDFC brand, our new logo and brand name – HDFC Life - is a symbol of assurance, protection and pride of a life well lived."

The three dimensional logo comes together to create a frame, capturing life's special moments that can be looked upon with pride and joy and lends well to a memorable look and feel. Red stands for vibrancy, youthfulness, exuberance, Blue for dependability, financial expertise, and dark red for (vermillion) long life.

HDFC Life has launched a new brand campaign to convey its new identity. K V Sridhar, National Creative Director, Leo Burnet, who have conceptualized the campaign said, "Ambition must be rooted in reality. The single largest equity the brand has is, 'sar utha ke jiyo' and the challenge to the team was to refresh that emotion and make it contemporary and young."

Nitesh Tiwari, ECD, Leo Burnett elaborates, "Emotions are universal and timeless but every passing generation interprets them differently. Similarly, self respect is as important to me as it was to my father or even his father but our ways of demonstrating them are different. And it is this change that we have attempted to capture in the film."

The company's new brand campaign is directed by E Niwas (of Shool, Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, Dum, Bardaasht, My Name is Anthony Gonsalves & De Taali fame). The creative team includes K. V. Sridhar (Pops), Nitesh Tiwari and Rupesh Kashyap.

Apart from television, the new campaign will be supported by other mediums such as print, radio, OOH, Internet, mobile, and on-ground initiatives.

But do a SWOT analysis of the basket, and the gloss fades     HDFC SL ProGrowth Super II is a type-II unit-linked insurance plan ( ULIP ).

But that has not dampened its show, which has beaten the Sensex by a mile in overall returns   HDFC Index Sensex Plus is a passively managed diversified equity scheme with Sensex as its benchmark index. The fund also invests a small proportion of its equity portfolio in non-Sensex scrips. The scheme cannot boast of an impressive size and is one of the smallest in the HDFC basket with assets under management (AUM) of less than 60 crore. PERFORMANCE: Being passively managed and portfolio aligned to that of the benchmark, the performance of the index fund is expected to follow that of the benchmark and in this respect, it has not disappointed investors. Since its launch in July 2002, the fund has outperformed Sensex in overall returns by good margins.    While every 1,000 invested in HDFC Index Sensex Plus in July 2002 is worth 6,130 now, a similar amount invested in Sensex then wo...
