Atlys salutes dads for being 100% on time in its new Father's Day campaign
HighlightsAtlys, a visa processing platform, releases a Father's Day ad that humorously highlights the iconic role of Indian fathers who prepare meticulously for events, paralleling the brand's own approach to visa processing. The advertisement features a calm father managing chaotic household preparations, showcasing his knack for organization as he arranges travel documents in a unique system, reinforcing the message that paperwork is never a reason for delays. Santosh Hegde, head of marketing at Atlys, emphasizes the relatable and cheeky tone of the film, which resonates with anyone who has experienced their father's punctuality, while Mohak Nahta, founder and chief executive officer of Atlys, connects the brand's values to the characteristics of Indian dads.
Atlys, a
visa processing platform
, celebrates Father's Day with a relatable film that turns the spotlight on the most iconic timekeepers of Indian households: dads.
In the ad, Atlys draws a parallel between the way fathers meticulously prepare for life's small (and big) events and the brand's own approach to visa processing. The result? A visual rollercoaster that's equal parts chaos and calm, much like dads themselves.
The ad taps into a universal Indian experience: a father who's always two steps ahead, never breaks a sweat, and makes everyone else look like they're chasing a moving train.
The ad opens to a dad waking up before his alarm, as the line flashes: "Atlys is worried. It has competition." It's a cheeky nod to the one person who never needs a wake-up call. He's dressed before sunrise, reaching for the newspaper before it even hits the doorstep; not because the paperboy is late, but because dad is always early.
As the household descends into a frenzy of last-minute chaos, he remains perfectly calm, quietly polishing his shoes.
While the rest of the family scrambles to get ready for a 6PM event,he remains perfectly calm, quietly polishing his shoes since he got ready at 2PM. When it's the son's time to travel, his documents aren't just in order... they're arranged in alphabetical, chronological and a mysterious third system only dad understands. Because for dad, paperwork is never the reason a trip gets delayed.
The final endplate delivers the brand's punchline: Indian dads are 100 per cent on time and Atlys is only 99.2 per cent of the way there.
Santosh Hegde, head of marketing at Atlys said, "The tone is intentionally cheeky and familiar because let's face it, every Indian kid has lived this film."
Mohak Nahta, founder and chief executive officer of Atlys said, "They represent what we've always aimed to be: ready before time, calm in chaos and borderline clairvoyant about getting things right. That's how we run Atlys."
The film was conceptualised and scripted entirely in-house, showcasing Atlys' growing creative muscle alongside its product reliability.
The visual language borrows from modern meme aesthetics: tight frames, locked shots and blink-and-you'll-miss-it details, all working to mirror the manic precision that dads and Atlys share.
The campaign strikes a chord with anyone who's watched their father turn punctuality into performance art. It's advertising that doesn't overthink itself, choosing instead to celebrate the obsessive world of Indian dads while positioning Atlys as the logical heir to that legacy of getting things done right and on time.

Legendary composer who gave Kishore Kumar a break, once owned 3 luxury cars, died alone; no family members attended his last rites
Agencies OP Nayyar and Kishore Kumar came together for several hit songs. Once, he was one of the most influential composers in Bollywood, making stars dance to his tunes and bringing evergreen chartbusters to life. However, OP Nayyar, the mastermind behind timeless songs such as classic club banger 'Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu' and the soulful and seductive 'Aaiye Mehrban', spent his twilight years in complete isolation and in dire financial straits. According to a DNA report, not one of his family members or anyone from the Bollywood fraternity attended his last rites when he passed away in 2007 following a heart onto the scene in the 1950s as a confident, young refugee from Lahore, Nayyar challenged the titans of his day—Anil Biswas, Naushad Ali, Shankar-Jaikishan, S.D. Burman, and C. Ramchandra—and emerged as one of the most successful and highest-paid music directors in Bollywood. As per a Hindustan Times report, despite lacking formal training in classical music, Nayyar composed songs deeply rooted in Indian ragas, like Chhota Sa Balama in Raag Tilang and the entire Phagun soundtrack in Raag Pilu. As the golden era faded, so did Nayyar's prominence in the industry. By the late 1970s, personal and professional setbacks started taking their toll. He distanced himself from his family in 1979, and although he returned briefly, he permanently separated from them in 1989. A After spending some time with singer Madhuri Joglekar in Virar, Nayyar moved in with the Nakhwa family in Thane as a paying guest. According to Indian Express, he had chosen a life of quiet withdrawal, asking to remain disconnected from both his biological family and the glamorous film world that once idolised him. Rani Nakhwa, who came to know him through a small telephone booth where she worked, had no idea of his celebrity status when they first met. She offered him a room in her modest one-bedroom home. Over time, the bond deepened. He became a father figure to her, and she affectionately referred to him as Babujee. He, in turn, called her Raju, having disliked her real name. In his final years, he preferred the company of these ordinary yet kind-hearted people, choosing familial warmth over material an interview with , Nakhwa said, "He lived like a king here. He liked having a beer in the afternoon and had his staple of two pegs of scotch in the evenings."When O.P. Nayyar passed away in January 2007 due to a heart attack, the music world lost one of its most influential voices. However, in accordance with his wishes, none of his family members or anyone from the film industry was informed. His funeral was attended only by the Nakhwa family, who had become his closest companions in his final chapter. Reminiscing about his death, Nakhwa told , "He had told us not to inform his family of his death. We performed his last rites.' Nayyar's artistic contributions remain unmatched. Though his debut film, Asman, was unsuccessful, his big break came with Aar Paar in 1954 under Guru Dutt's guidance. With a revolutionary blend of Indian rhythmic patterns and Western instrumentation like saxophone, clarinet, and sarangi, as highlighted by the Hindustan Times , Nayyar transformed the soundscape of Hindi cinema. He once owned three luxury cars and hosted lavish parties at his music room in Kemp's Corner, but his final years were marked by simplicity, detachment, and emotional depth—mirroring the very soul of his compositions, the HT report revealed. He introduced and championed major voices like Asha Bhosle and Kishore Kumar. He worked with Kumar on several successful songs, including those in films like 'Baap Re Baap' (1955) and 'Ragini' (1958).
