Rewriting UPI: Pocket UPI’s Smarter Way
MobiKwik has launched Pocket UPI, a new payment method that lets users transact without directly linking their bank accounts, keeping statements clean and fraud risk minimal. The campaign stars actor Jaideep Ahlawat reprising his popular cop persona to bring both authenticity and edge to everyday payment scenarios.
Breaking Down the Benefits
In a series of digital films, we follow Ahlawat navigating real‑life payment pitfalls—overdraft fees, spam UPI collect requests, and endless statement entries—before switching to Pocket UPI and smiling at his streamlined, secure balance. Key benefits highlighted include PIN‑less checkout for faster tap‑and‑go, load‑only‑what‑you‑need budgeting controls, and robust transaction tracking through the MobiKwik app’s dashboard.
The Cop Who Cares About Your Cash
Ahlawat’s on‑screen authority transforms routine payments into cinematic moments. Whether chasing down a runaway auto‑fare or confronting a glitchy billing machine, his cop avatar arrests financial friction with a single Pocket UPI tap—underscoring that when it comes to your money, you deserve a seamless, no‑nonsense solution.
Omnichannel Rollout and Engagement
The campaign rolls out across YouTube, Instagram, and MobiKwik’s in‑app channels, with teaser clips on Ahlawat’s social profiles sparking curiosity. Interactive carousels let users simulate loading cash into their Pocket UPI wallets, while Instagram Stories polls quiz audiences on UPI pain points—driving engagement and education in equal measure.
From Screens to Streets
Beyond digital, MobiKwik has plastered metro stations and bus shelters with “Clogged Up?” creative—showing bank statements as tangled traffic and Pocket UPI as the open road. QR codes on OOH ads link directly to the app download, closing the loop from awareness to activation in seconds.
Measuring Success
Early metrics show a 30% bump in UPI transactions through Pocket UPI, a 20% reduction in failed payments among new users, and strong app‑store review spikes praising the convenience. Social engagement with #PocketUPI and #SmarterWaytoUPI has trended nationally since launch.
The Future of Fin‑Tech Narratives
By blending a beloved screen persona with a genuinely useful product, MobiKwik demonstrates that even the most mature financial categories can be reinvented with fresh storytelling and smart tech. Pocket UPI isn’t just a feature—it’s a statement that the future of payments is both secure and delightfully simple.
