Specific Target Audience
India’s 330k+ coal miners work deep underground in the darkness for over 10 hours a day. Within these dangerous subterrains, they are completely isolated and disconnected from their loved ones as mobile phones are prohibited in the mines for safety reasons. In an age when connectivity is considered a basic human right, families of this forgotten lot live through the torture of being in the dark about their well-being every single day.
Motorola Deep Connect is an innovative solution developed by Motorola and executed by Dentsu Creative India. The technology utilizes miners' existing communication infrastructure - walkie-talkies, and converts radio signals into voice calls, enabling them to connect with their families back home through smartphones. A custom module installed at the surface of coal mines makes this two-way communication possible. Designed to be both affordable and scalable, and supported by a multi-lingual app, Motorola Deep Connect is truly designed for India.
