RCS enables brands to offer – within the message – interactive buttons like “Shop Now”, “Book Appointment”, and “Track Order”, which allow customers to take immediate action directly from the message without the need to download other messaging apps or brand apps. RCS also helps streamline order tracking by providing real-time delivery updates and allowing customers to reschedule deliveries or contact couriers directly from the message. Another enabling feature of RCS is the ability to conduct surveys and gather valuable customer insights through one-tap response options within the RCS messages.

RCS allows brands to create an engaging mobile experience by sharing high-resolution images, videos, and GIFs. It lets brands send customised offers and product recommendations based on customer preferences and purchase history. RCS offers integrated AI-powered chatbots to answer FAQs, recommend products, and provide 24/7 support.

RCS takes text messaging to the next level. It allows Apple and Android users to enjoy the same features as rich messaging channels like Apple iMessage or WhatsApp without having to download a separate third-party application. Because of its integration with the native messaging service on phones, RCS offers a higher delivery rate than email and WhatsApp. RCS messages boast a 90% open rate within 15 minutes, with users engaging for up to 45 seconds on average, and they are 35 times more likely to be read than emails.

Arthritis is a condition that many people face as they age, often bringing with it pain, stiffness, and difficulty in moving. For some, it might just be a dull ache in the knees when climbing stairs, while for others, it can mean struggling to walk or even stand. The knees, which bear much of our body’s weight, are particularly vulnerable to the effects of arthritis. While knee replacement surgery has become a lifeline for many, there are ways to prevent arthritis from worsening and exciting new medical advances that make surgeries safer and more effective.

Dr. Harpreet Singh Suri, an expert orthopedic surgeon, specializes in joint arthroplasty, trauma & foot surgery, with rich experience & multiple fellowships

Arthritis, especially the type called osteoarthritis, is caused by wear and tear in the joints. Over time, the smooth cushion of cartilage that helps our knees move easily starts to break down. This can lead to bones rubbing directly against each other, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. Some people are more prone to this condition because of their genes, age, or past injuries. However, lifestyle choices also play a big role. Carrying too much weight, for example, puts extra pressure on the knees and can speed up the damage.

To keep your knees healthy, it’s important to stay active. Gentle exercises like walking, swimming, or yoga can help keep the muscles around your knees strong, which reduces the strain on the joints. Eating a balanced diet and maintaining a healthy weight also go a long way in protecting your knees. Every extra kilogram of weight you carry adds four kilograms of pressure on your knees, so even losing a small amount can make a big difference.

But what if the damage has already been done For many people with severe arthritis, knee replacement surgery becomes the best option. In the past, this surgery was often seen as a last resort, but today it’s a much more common and safe procedure. Innovations in medical technology have made it possible for patients to recover faster and return to their normal lives with less pain and discomfort.

Dr. Harpreet Singh, an orthopedic surgeon, says, “Arthritis affects people across all ages, not just the elderly, and it can have a profound impact on daily life. By focusing on prevention, early intervention, and modern surgical innovations, we empower patients to regain mobility and live pain-free. Robotic-assisted and minimally invasive techniques are transforming knee replacement surgeries, ensuring quicker recovery times, less pain, and a better overall experience for patients.”

One of the most exciting advances is robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery. In this technique, robots help the surgeon perform the procedure with incredible precision. This means the new knee joint fits better and lasts longer. Another improvement is the use of advanced materials for the artificial knee joints. These new materials are designed to mimic the natural movement of the knee and are much more durable than older models.

Even the way surgeries are performed has changed. Today, many knee replacement procedures use minimally invasive techniques. This means smaller cuts are made, which leads to less pain, less scarring, and a quicker recovery. In some cases, patients can even start walking the same day as their surgery.

After the surgery, rehabilitation plays a key role in getting back to normal life. Physiotherapy helps strengthen the muscles and improves flexibility. New technologies, are making it easier for patients to recover faster and stay motivated.

The best thing you can do is take care of your knees. Stay active, eat well, and pay attention to any signs of pain or stiffness. If arthritis does strike, know that you’re not alone and that modern treatment offers many ways to help you stay mobile and pain-free. From preventive care to life-changing cutting-edge surgeries, there’s hope for everyone to keep moving forward.

Just as Dhoni won over his fans who trust him to always make the right call with his unflappable leadership, candid speak, and ever-evolving looks, Garnier Black Naturals, too, has been touching the lives of millions of Indians for over a decade, becoming the secret to their natural-looking hair color. The campaign marks two of India’s most trusted brands – the Dhonis and Garnier Black Naturals – coming together to create the new badge of ‘T’rust.

It starts with Dhoni playfully teasing Sakshi about the secret to her beautiful hair, before he ultimately trusts her judgment when she confidently shares why she chose India’s most trusted hair color brand, leading to a shared moment of hair coloring. The ad ends with a nod to the iconic T-gesture for the DRS in cricket that was fondly called the ‘Dhoni Review System’ because his accuracy in summoning the review often led to results in his favor, magnifying the trust fans vested in him. Dhoni & Sakhi are now building the new symbol of ‘T’rust in hair colors with his endorsement of Garnier Black Naturals.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni said, “Garnier has been a trusted brand for hair color for many years. Sakshi and I are excited to be the faces of Garnier Black Naturals and are happy to share our secret for natural-looking hair color with everyone. This campaign gives us the opportunity to appear onscreen together after a long time, and we hope that our fans will enjoy it as much as we did filming it.”

The 360-degree campaign went live end of February across multiple touchpoints (traditional, digital & Out of Home).

Ajay Simha, General Manager, Garniersaid,“Garnier Black Naturals is Indias most trusted hair color brand. Through the years, we have grown to become the trusted secret for effective and natural-looking hair. We’re beyond excited to team up with MS Dhoni and Sakshi Singh Dhoni for this incredible partnership. We could not have hoped for a more strategic fit than the power couple, who are a benchmark of trust, both on and off the field. With their compelling and unique chemistry, there really is no better choice. Through this campaign, we’re creating new ways for consumers to connect with our brand and embrace the trust and authenticity that both Dhoni and Sakshi, as well as Garnier stand for!“

Parikshit Bhattacharya, Chief Creative Officer, Publicis Groupe (BBH India) said, “Garnier Black Naturals is the country’s most trusted hair colour. Who better than the Dhonis to bat for the brand through their unique banter. The campaign consisting of memes, teasers, a digital video, a broadcast spot and more, which has already been loved by the internet. We hope this partnership further strengthens the brand’s equity and more couples place their trust in Garnier Black Naturals to keep their secret intact.“
