Interio by Godrej has unveiled a new campaign for its UPMODS sofa range, using a light-hearted family drama to position personalisation as the answer to differing household preferences. Announced on 19 September 2026, the film was conceptualised by TBWA\Lintas, produced by Thunder Films and directed by Sandeep Yadav. It will be amplified across YouTube, social media and other digital platforms.
A family debate that doubles as a product demo
The film follows a family shopping for a sofa at an Interio store. Each member champions a different model by linking its features to another person’s needs. The teenage son pitches an extended chaise for his father’s knees, the father suggests a charging port for his wife’s work-from-home routine, the wife proposes a storage option for her mother-in-law’s ukulele, and the grandmother backs a blue sofa because it is the family dog’s favourite colour.
As the debate continues, the salesperson steps in with the key message: with UPMODS, the sofa can be personalised to meet everyone’s needs, so no one has to choose just one configuration.
Reshu Saraf, Head of Integrated Marketing & Communications at Interio by Godrej, explained the thinking: “Every family has its own way of living and own idea of the perfect sofa.” She added that the brand wanted to capture this relatable family truth while showing that personalisation means no family member has to compromise.
What UPMODS actually offers
Rather than resting on a vague promise, the campaign points to a concrete range. UPMODS lets consumers personalise sofas across:
- Legs and armrests
- 25 colour options, including single and dual-tone combinations
- Leather or fabric upholstery
- More than 1,750 possible configurations
The film uses chaise, charging, storage and colour as narrative devices; the announced personalisation pillars are legs, armrests, colour options and upholstery. That distinction matters for retail marketers, because the ad sells the emotional payoff of customisation while the product page can carry the full specification.
Why this matters for marketing teams
Furniture purchases are often shared decisions involving multiple family members. Instead of ignoring that dynamic, Interio by Godrej turns it into the creative engine. The result is a benefit-led story in which every feature is attached to a person and a moment, making the modular offer easier to understand and remember.
For brands in home, auto, electronics and other considered categories, the campaign offers a simple framework: present personalisation as conflict resolution for multi-stakeholder buying. When a configurable product is framed as a way to remove compromise, the purchase becomes less about picking one option and more about designing the right fit.
What marketers can do next
Start with the decision-maker map in your category. Identify the people who influence the purchase even if they do not pay for it, then match one product attribute to each. In the Interio film, that mapping is explicit: health, work, hobbies and even pets become reasons to choose a configuration. It works because the story does not ask viewers to memorise specs; it asks them to recognise their own household.
For retail teams, the same logic can be used in-store. If a salesperson can ask what each family member needs, a modular range stops being an upsell and becomes a practical answer. Digital teams can reuse the character-based moments as short social cutdowns, each focused on one need. Measurement should track not just reach, but searches for the UPMODS range and store enquiries tied to personalisation.
