Description: Hundreds of deadly diseases can easily be prevented by handwashing. But no one in India seems to listen! We wanted a powerful idea to get through to over a billion Indians and remind them to wash their hands regularly.

So, we came up with something quirky and unique. We roped in the world’s biggest sporting legend, India’s God of Cricket – Sachin Tendulkar. But decided to never really show him. We featured only his hand, as the world’s first ‘Hand Ambassador’! To give handwash reminders to the entire country. We took such a big celebrity and showed literally just his hand! Risky, right?

But the risk paid off. The campaign aired in the peak TV hours during India-Australia Tournament and the IPL. Reminding people in an inimitable way, to wash their hands. Soon, the Hand Ambassador was everywhere – before you sat down to eat, or after using the loo, on your travels or right after you ordered your food. Catching you red-handed and giving you his iconic Handwash Reminders.

Before we knew it, thousands of Indians had joined the movement and were pledging to become Hand Ambassadors themselves, making these reminders a great success.
English Translation: 01. HAND AMBASSADOR LAUNCH:

Hi I’m Sachin Tendulkar’s hand
Your ‘hand ambassador’
(chuckles) You must be wondering, ‘where’s Sachin?’
He’s not here. The thing is, I’m more important than Sachin… I’m his ‘hand’
Hands are the ones who do everything.
All the work,
all the fun,
all the eating,
all the drinking,
all the washing and cleaning,
hitting boundaries and sixers…
And they can even get you clean bowled… I mean, make you sick.
If you don’t keep them clean!
That’s why, starting today,
I’m going to take matters in my own hands
and chase you, so you never forget to wash your hands.
Well then, let’s shake hands on this!

VO: Sachin Tendulkar’s hand is your Hand Ambassador!
