ABOUT THE BRAND
FDC is a leading pharmaceutical company with strong brands in oral rehydration and electrolyte therapy, including Electral, one of India’s most trusted ORS solutions.
In pharma, MRs and field teams directly shape product success—their daily efforts influence doctor recall, chemist uplift, and retail movement.
To sustain momentum for Electral, FDC needed a motivation model that was scalable, transparent, and rewarding in real time.
CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW
Under the ElectralBuddy initiative, FDC launched a digital cashback-based loyalty program designed exclusively for its sales force.
The objective:
Achieve performance targets → Earn instant cashback → Sustain motivation across 6 months.
The model offered a simple, relatable, and high-impact incentive for field teams.
THE CHALLENGE
Sales reps in pharma face unique pressure:
- Daily doctor calls and chemist visits
- Seasonal fluctuations in demand

- Worked across regions and roles
- Rewarded individual as well as team-based performance
