UltraTech Shifts Gears, Focuses on Empowering Consumers with Tech-driven Approach
UltraTech's targeted and down-to-earth marketing tactics for selling cement in India
UltraTech Cement, a subsidiary under the Aditya Birla Group, has strength-endowed its marketing strategy by channeling efforts towards addressing consumer needs, especially targeting first-time homebuilders. This transformation is evident in the brand's 'UltraTech Se Pucho' campaign, which leverages technology for personalized assistance.
The 'UltraTech Se Pucho' campaign, designed to cater to the needs of first-time home builders, is an innovative move that transcends the norm of hyperbolic advertising. By offering technology-aided, personalized assistance, the brand is redefining its image, making it more relatable and trustworthy. This shift away from excessive advertising helps the brand connect at a deeper level with its target market and, in turn, likely drives brand loyalty and market segment expansion.
Leveraging Technology for Rural Market Engagement
UltraTech acknowledges that two-thirds of its B2C business stems from rural areas. In response, the company is putting in significant effort to engage with rural consumers using technology-driven solutions. This direct approach has resulted in over 12 million interactions with rural consumers. UltraTech's dedication to understanding and addressing the unique needs of rural homebuilders not only increases its reach but also solidifies its reputation as a brand committed to bridging the gap in infrastructure development.
The 'Yashasvi Sarpanch' Campaign
Another noteworthy initiative from UltraTech is the 'Yashasvi Sarpanch' campaign. This campaign aims to empower local community leaders (sarpanchs) in rural areas by inviting applications from these individuals. With over 8,900 valid entries, the campaign highlights UltraTech's success in engaging local influencers and fostering a sense of community empowerment. This conviction in supporting grassroots leadership helps UltraTech leave a positive impact on rural communities and cements its position as a brand committed to local development.
Banega Toh Badhega India Campaign: A Nation-builder's Approach
The 'Banega Toh Badhega India' campaign focuses on the broader role of infrastructure in national progress. This campaign, featuring collaborations with popular influencers, has successfully reached over 500 million people. As a result, the brand's perception as a nation-builder has significantly increased, underscoring the connection between infrastructure development and societal progress. Likewise, this strategy positions UltraTech as an advocate for national development goals, enhancing its overall brand equity.
In recognition of its innovative marketing strategies, UltraTech was honored as the 'Disruptive Brand of the Year' at the ET Brand Equity's Brand Disruption Awards 2025. This accolade signifies UltraTech's achievements in revolutionizing the cement industry through its customer-centric approach and bold initiatives to drive growth in the urban and rural markets.
