Commenting on the music album launch, Sanjay Tripathy, Executive Vice President and Head, Marketing, HDFC Standard Life, said, “We are happy to launch this music album that signifies everything that our brand stands for, through music. Currently, all life insurance brands communicate using generic categories. In a market crowded with claims of a better future, better returns and better protection, HDFC Standard Life has successfully been able to differentiate itself on the basis of its unique communication integrated with 'Sar Utha Ke Jiyo' as the brand idea. This is what makes us different and relevant to our target segment. Even the video that will supplement the album will have 'Sar Utha Ke Jiyo' or 'Self Respect' as the basic underlying theme”.

HDFC Standard Life has been instrumental in reinforcing its brand value ‘Sar Utha Ke Jiyo’ in all its communication campaigns. The company has found relevant ways to touch a chord with consumers across their life stages and link it back to this brand idea. And extending it to a music album and music video was logical to spread the message even far and wide. HDFC Standard Life, in all its communications, has always reiterated to its consumers that they need to invest in insurance plans not because of fear or profit. They need to invest because each one of us respects one’s own self and each of us wants to live life with one’s head held high and at own terms.
