The Mumbai and New Delhi event saw a participation of over 100 women pledging to take charge of their security and their loved ones.

The event also witnessed popular stand-up comedian Atul Khatri taking a humorous take on the need for security.
Commenting on the objective behind initiating the aggressive multi-city campaign, Mr. Mehernosh Pithawalla, Vice President and Global Head-Marketing, Sales and Innovation, Godrej Security Solutionshighlighted, “The security market in India has been predominantly a ‘need based’ market and not a ‘consumer-driven’ one. Even though today’s safety and security anxieties are not just restricted to personal safety, but encompasses the safety of our loved ones, the market has more of a reactive attitude towards the adoption of security measures. Taking cognizance of this, we felt that there is a dire need to initiate a campaign to create awareness on the need for adoption of security solutions and the technological advancements taking place in the security solutions space. Society is getting more tech-rich and empowered, and yet we remain as vulnerable to crime as before. We need to make a fundamental change in our behaviour and be more proactive about security.”
Godrej Security Solutions also shared a sneak peek to its latest consumer survey report on the ‘Consumer Attitude towards Home Security’ which reveals that only about 34 per cent of women take security measures while travelling. The security measures taken by 28 per cent of women while travelling include informing their relatives, while only nine per cent of women use security applications on their mobile phone while some others depended on police helpline. Only a miniscule two per cent of women depended on pepper spray for their security.
