In today’s fast-paced world, where long workdays, crowded commutes, and endless screen time have become the norm, pain whether back ache, joint pain, migraine, or headache often strikes without warning, robbing people of the simple joys that matter most. For generations, Amrutanjan has been more than just a remedy; it has been a trusted companion, offering fast and caring pain relief that understands the everyday struggles of life.

A still from the Amrutanjan TVC campaign, capturing a moment where a woman is seen experiencing pain, highlighting the everyday struggles that the brand aims to ease

With its new campaign, “Har Dard Mitaye,” Amrutanjan extends this promise of relief to today’s youth. The campaign launches with two new TVCs that capture relatable, everyday moments when pain interrupts work be it everyday responsibilities of a household, office or even a simple commute. In each situation, Amrutanjan steps in with fast, natural relief, helping people bounce back to life’s moments without missing a beat.

At the heart of the campaign lies a simple truth – pain may be inevitable, but it does not have to hold you back. Whether it’s a home maker attending to everyday household chores, young professional powering through sleepless nights, a student battling digital fatigue, or a commuter worn out by traffic, Amrutanjan’s stories reflect the lives of millions reminding them that the brand cares, understands, and is always there.

The campaign also highlights Amrutanjan’s balm and roll-on formats, showcased in different contexts to represent the category entry points. The balm category in India has only 38% household penetration. By showing diverse, everyday pain situations and the multipurpose benefits of Amrutanjan, the brand aims to drive greater adoption and bring more households into the fold.

Another key focus is addressing the youth’s over-reliance on tablets for quick pain relief. Prolonged use of tablet can have side effects, and Amrutanjan is positioning its roll-on format as a safer, more convenient alternative. With its instant cooling effect and fast action within 2 minutes, the roll-on promises quick, effective, and hassle-free relief.

Once again, Amrutanjan reaffirms its enduring promise “Har Dard Mitaye” delivering not just relief, but empathy, affordability, and effectiveness. Because it’s not just about curing pain; it is about enabling people to live their everyday moments, big and small, fully and joyfully.

Speaking on the launch of the campaign, Mr. S. Sambhu Prasad, Chairman & Managing Director, Amrutanjan Healthcare Limited, said, “At Amrutanjan, we have always believed that pain is not just a physical discomfort, it is an interruption to living life to the fullest. Our mission has been simple yet profound: to provide safe, natural, and effective pain relief that allows people to carry on with confidence. For generations, families across India have trusted us in their times of need, and that trust is both our proud legacy and our greatest responsibility. With this new campaign, we address the realities of modern life while reaffirming our timeless promise-Har Dard Miteyen. More than a tagline, it reflects our commitment to stand by people through every discomfort, every generation, and every change. As we look ahead, we will continue blending the wisdom of our heritage with innovation, ensuring that relief, care, and trust remain within everyone’s reach.”

Adding to this, Mr. Mani Bhagavatheeswaran, Chief Marketing Officer, Amrutanjan Healthcare Limited, said, “This campaign is about making Amrutanjan relevant to a new generation while staying true to our heritage. These stories reflect very real pain triggers of today’s lifestyles. But more importantly, they reflect the relief and reassurance that Amrutanjan brings. Our task is always to help people live a pain free life with confidence, reflecting Amrutanjan’s commitment to supporting a pain-free, active life.“

Adds Navneet Virk, Sr VP and Creative Director at RK Swamy,
‘Brand Amrutanjan’s most valuable asset is its legacy of purity. And today, consumers are going back to what’s authentic, what’s natural. Amrutanjan’s naturalness has a timeless relevance and by mirroring their everyday lives in this campaign, we want to enhance our connection with today’s generation.‘

With the campaign, Amrutanjan is not only reinforcing its position as one of the leading brands in pain management, but also driving household penetration by re-establishing the balm as a multipurpose solution effective for both head and body pain.

India’s defence manufacturing sector is undergoing a pivotal transformation, and at the heart of this shift lies a capability that often goes unnoticed but is mission-critical – artillery shell manufacturing. These components, though rarely in the spotlight, form the very foundation of India’s ammunition strength. Their production is a matter of national security, industrial progress, and strategic autonomy.

Nitin Mehra, President, Precision Engineering Technologies

In FY 2023-24, India’s defence production soared to approximately Rs. 1.27 lakh crore, showing the highest-ever rise in output, with PSUs contributing nearly 79% and the private sector about 21% Wikipedia. Further, in FY 2024-25, annual defence output jumped even higher to Rs. 1,50,590 crore, marking a new record The Times of India.

Forging Strength: Why Artillery Shells Matter

Artillery remains the backbone of conventional warfare. According to AP News, Ukraine fires around 4,000-7,000 artillery shells daily, while Russia fires over 20,000AP News. Bomb shells are not merely metal casings – they must withstand intense pressures during handling, firing, and detonation. A single flaw can compromise safety and effectiveness, making forging – whether cold, hot, or isothermal – indispensable for ensuring internal structural integrity. This process ensures the resulting shells offer maximum strength, fatigue resistance, and dimensional accuracy.

India’s Modernization Journey in Shell Production

Despite the high stakes, India’s artillery shell output remains comparatively modest – though exact production numbers are not publicly detailed, the escalation in defence output and renewed policy focus suggests a significant push is underway.

Traditionally, shell manufacturing in India relied on manual forging, semi automation, and labor-intensive machining. Now, a shift is underway – embracing hydraulic forging presses, hot/die-forging systems, CNC machining, robotic handling, and digital inspection. This transition is steering the sector toward precision, consistency, and the global quality benchmarks needed for modern warfare.

Global Comparisons & Strategic Gaps

Globally, shell production is being ramped up significantly:

• In March 2023, the EU committed €2 billion (about $2.2 billion) to procure 1 million 155mm shells for Ukraine within a yearDefense One.

• NATO also signed a $1.2 billion contract for 220,000 rounds of 155mm shells, acknowledging urgent needs, given Ukraine’s and Russia’s massive daily artillery usage AP News.

• Examples of accelerating production: Europe’s artillery shell output is projected to hit 2 million rounds by end of 2025YahooIr-Ia.

• Rheinmetall, backed by EU funding (€130 million), aims to scale up to 1.1 million shells annually by 2027The Wall Street Journal.

By comparison, India must upscale production capabilities swiftly to meet both national demand and emerging export opportunities.

Policy Support & Export Potential

India’s burgeoning defence output indicates growing capacity and confidence. According to Reuters, India produced $14.8 billion worth of arms in FY 2023-24, a 62% increase since 2020. Indian-made 155mm artillery shells have even appeared on the frontlines in Ukraine Reuters – highlighting both cost-effectiveness and export competitiveness (priced at just $300-400 per shell) Defence Blog.

These developments reflect India’s potential to tap into global demand. With rising international orders and India’s cost advantage, expanding production could position the country as a reliable global supplier.

Technology & Sustainability: The Next Frontier

Manufacturing innovation now goes beyond precision – it includes sustainability. European firms, for example, are investing in automation to boost output while cutting energy and waste. India should mirror this by incorporating energy-efficient presses, optimized die processes, AI-based defect detection, digital twins, and real-time analytics.

Building Human Capital

Behind every machine is a skilled workforce. India has launched Make in India and Liberalization initiatives – by October 2022, the MoD had issued over 6,000 industrial licences, with ~20% for guns and cartridges KPMG. Coupled with schemes like PMKVY and institutional alliances (e.g., via AICTE), these efforts are building technical expertise in forging, CNC, and digital manufacturing.

A Strategic Asset for the Future

To ensure artillery shell production becomes both a strategic asset and economic opportunity, India must:

1. Develop a forging capacity that can meet both domestic defense needs and export demand.

2. Embrace Industry 4.0 technologies to move toward precision, sustainability, and zero-defect output.

3. Invest in public-private collaboration and production clusters to accelerate scaling.

4. Expand human capital through focused training and skill development.

Conclusion

Artillery shells are often invisible in the broader narrative of defence capability – yet they are essential. Forging them with precision, reliability, and sustainability through modern technologies and skilled manpower is India’s path toward strategic autonomy.

With defence output already setting records – and cost-competitive artillery shells reaching global theatres – India has both the mandate and momentum. The shells we forge today are not merely engineering products – they are symbols of India’s resilience, strength, and self-reliance.

In a small village in Uttar Pradesh, I once sat beside a weaver named Shanti. Her fingers moved with a rhythm so natural it felt like music – tying knots on a loom that had been in her family for generations. The rug she was working on, filled with tribal motifs, was not just meant to warm a floor in Dubai. It was meant to carry a piece of her story, her culture, her soul across borders.

Mr. Deepak Khanna Founder of Man-Made Rugs

That moment stayed etched in my memory. It made me realize that India’s handmade carpets are so much more than a business – they are living traditions. Every design is history preserved; every thread is memory made visible.

And yet, this living tradition is under strain. The 50% tariff imposed by the United States on Indian handmade carpets strikes more than just the economics of an industry – it strikes at the heart of generations of artistry. Tariffs are not just numbers on paper. They decide whether a weaver’s child goes to school, whether small businesses can stand a fair chance in global markets, whether artisans can sustain their craft with dignity, and whether centuries of heritage still find their place in homes around the world.

Handmade carpets are not factory goods. They sustain nearly 2 million artisans in India, anchored in rural prosperity, gender equality, and centuries of culture. To tax them as mere commodities is to undervalue their true contribution, not only to livelihoods and fair competition in global markets but also to the preservation of an art form that binds communities and stories together.

Making Indian Carpets a Global Symbol of Elegance

An Indian handmade carpet is not made; it is born. From the looms of Kashmir to the villages of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, these rugs carry the imprint of human patience and artistry.

The world must not only recognize Indian carpets as heritage products but embrace them as aspirational luxury goods on par with Italian leather or Persian rugs. This requires branding, storytelling, and positioning that elevate our identity from “craft” to cultural emblem.

We already know what is possible. When artisans from Kerala wove the carpet for the Met Gala, the world walked on their artistry. Why should moments like that be rare With e-commerce and social media, a rug woven in Mirzapur can reach a hotel in Paris or a home in Tokyo with just a few clicks. Every “Made in India” carpet should carry not just a label, but a living story.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Weavers

Here is the hard truth: many young people from weaving families do not want to continue this craft. Why would they, when city jobs seem more secure

But change is possible. Priya, a 20-year-old from Mirzapur, once doubted weaving’s future – until she saw her designs sold online in France and Germany. Suddenly, weaving looked less like her parents’ struggle and more like her opportunity.

To keep this hope alive, we need structured educational platforms – teaching not only traditional techniques but also global design trends, sustainability, and digital branding. This industry can offer careers of pride, not compromise. But punitive tariffs cast a shadow, shrinking orders and discouraging youth just as they are stepping forward.

Reaching New Markets Through Young Entrepreneurs

For decades, the U.S. and Europe defined our exports. But the future lies in diversification. Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia are asking for our craft in new forms – eco-friendly jute rugs in Malaysia, bold kilims in Brazil, cultural weaves in the UAE.

Technology gives us new leverage. With AI we can personalize designs. With blockchain we can trace every rug back to its artisan. With better logistics we can compete on delivery. Tariffs may slow us down, but they will not define us. If one door closes, we must open three others.

A Tapestry of Tomorrow

India’s handmade carpet industry is not just an export sector. It is a rural economy, a cultural legacy, and a heartbeat of human creativity.

When I step into the workshops of Bhadohi or Jaipur, I hear the quiet rhythm of looms. I watch as simple threads pass through hands and become breathtaking patterns. And in that moment, I know we are not weaving rugs at all. We are weaving legacy.

The world should not tax legacy. The story of Indian handmade carpets is too rich to be bound by borders or barriers. Each thread carries the weight of centuries, and together they form a tapestry not just of India’s past but of the world’s living heritage. With resilience, education, and vision, we will ensure it continues to be woven into the homes – and hearts – of the world.
