Mumbai, December 06, 2025: Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company Limited (“Kotak Life”) today unveiled a new campaign that redefines retirement as the beginning of something extraordinary. Conceptualised in partnership with creative agency Wondrlab, the campaign positions retirement not as an end, but as a powerful new chapter of reinvention, rediscovery and renewed purpose.
Inspired by the spirit of a new India that refuses to slow down, the campaign narrative transcends the traditional notion of retirement as a phase to slow down. Instead, it showcases retirement as a time to pursue passions, reignite forgotten dreams and embrace life’s next chapter with confidence and purpose. The narrative is brought to life through a film that nudges Indians who will be retiring in the next decade to plan early, so they can pursue passions, reignite forgotten dreams and embrace life’s next chapter with financial freedom
Ashish Nair, CMO and Head – Customer Value Management and Health Tech, Kotak Life said, “Retirement is no longer about slowing down; it’s about moving forward with confidence and renewed purpose. Our film captures that pivotal moment in life when achievements feel complete, yet a deeper purpose calls. At Kotak Life, we are committed to empowering Indians to embrace this reinvention with life insurance benefits & financial security; and the confidence to live their next chapter to the fullest.”
The film masterfully features acclaimed actor Rajkummar Rao as an ordinary man caught in a moment of inner turmoil. It is a stage familiar to many in their mid‑forties—when milestones have been reached, routines take over and life begins to feel repetitive. In that reflective moment, an unspoken emptiness surfaces, accompanied by an urge for deeper purpose. This is the moment the film tries to capture- a crossroad between comfort and calling, between what has been achieved and what remains to be discovered.
Speaking about the creative approach, Hemant Shringy, Chief Creative Officer & Managing Partner, Wondrlab said, “Kotak Life is a brand that’s truly keeping up with the times. When India’s ideas, hopes, dreams, aspirations, even retirement age and life expectancies are changing, Kotak Life is evolving the idea of retirement itself: from Retirement to Reinvention. It’s not just a category-defining thought but one that feels deeply relatable. This message is crucial for those in their forties, who have spent the last twenty years building lives and shouldering responsibilities and now stand at the threshold of another twenty years ahead. It is both a moment for reflection and a moment for planning forward. Rajkumar’s subtle, nuanced performance makes the narrative authentic and lived-in.”
The campaign will be rolled out across multiple platforms, ensuring maximum reach and engagement.
