Managing Director P. R. Venketrama Raja said the launch embodies innovation, strength, and trust, and salutes the hard-working spirit of construction workers, builders, and homeowners. CEO A. V.

The launch will be supported by a nationwide 360-degree marketing campaign spanning television, digital platforms, outdoor advertising, and in-store branding. Executive Director – Marketing, Balaji K. Moorthy, said the campaign will build strong awareness and recall for the Hard Worker brand.

Ramco Cements, a flagship of the Ramco Group, posted Rs 85 billion in revenue in FY25. With 11 cement plants, five construction chemical plants, and over 9,700 dealers, the company continues to invest in renewable energy and innovation to strengthen its position in the Indian construction sector
