The World Gold Council today announced the launch of its first India-focussed gold ETF campaign, built around the powerful core message ‘It’s Aaj Ka Gold’ (means ‘Today’s gold). The campaign is aimed at modernising gold investment for the nation’s digital-savvy young investors. The campaign aims to address the awareness–action gap and reinforce the accessibility, liquidity and strategic relevance of gold ETFs in investor’s portfolio.

“Gold ETFs signify an important evolution in the way younger generations can access gold, transforming it from a traditional store of value into a dynamic and strategic element within a modern investment portfolio,” stated Arti Saxena, Head of Marketing, India, World Gold Council.

“Through this campaign, our objective is to initiate a substantive dialogue that enables young investors to realise gold’s enduring value, combined with the accessibility, flexibility, and transparency expected in today’s financial landscape. By clarifying the features of Gold ETFs—such as their affordable entry point of just ₹200, physical asset backing, and high liquidity—we believe Gold ETFs have the potential to become a preferred investment option, building upon gold’s established legacy.”

The campaign’s core message, “It’s Aaj Ka Gold,” targets young investors aged 20-35, encompassing cohorts identified as ‘Fun portfolio builders’ (20-24), ‘Confident progressives’ (25-30), and ‘Future-focussed achievers’ (30-35). These diverse young investors, united by their desire for hassle-free wealth growth, will see Gold ETFs showcased as a regulated and liquid investment solution. The campaign features three films and four key visuals that bring these benefits to life. One of the campaign films, titled “Low Entry Barrier,” humorously illustrates how Gold ETFs offer a solution to common end-of-month financial woes, demonstrating that investing in gold is possible with as little as Rs. 200, highlighting easy accessibility, regulation, and physical backing.
