Wakefit.co, a D2C home and sleep solutions brand, unveiled Ayushmann Khurrana as its new brand ambassador in its usual quirky and fun tonality.
Besides being the face of the brand and spearheading upcoming campaigns, Ayushmann will also help the brand in creating awareness and education about sleep health and its importance in the modern context. In an interesting twist preceding the announcement, the brand’s name was kept under wraps in the behind-the-scenes (BTS) clip to evoke curiosity. This created the perfect backdrop to reveal the association. The reveal was done in a monologue-style format, with Ayushmann appealing to people to give due importance to sleep.

In his own style, Ayushmann delivers a commentary titled ‘Sleep India Sleep’ on the pressing problem of sleep deprivation in India and urges the audience to prioritise their sleep health and take a pledge to sleep better.
This video forms the initiation of the brand’s partnership with Ayushmann and is in tandem with its marketing philosophy which aims to create meaningful conversations about improving the quality of sleep and home among Indians.
Commenting on the association, Ayushmann Khurrana, said, “Wakefit.co’s philosophy of creating meaningful and authentic conversations with its audience around home and sleep health is something that I wholeheartedly believe in. I’m excited to join forces with a brand that values innovation and practicality as much as I do.
