The VMate Corona Anthem conveys the message that India would emerge the winner in the ongoing war against the global pandemic. It urges people to wash their hands repeatedly, wear masks and adhere to 'Namaste' greeting, thereby advocating social distancing. The lyrics of the anthem, 'India ki jeet, Corona ki haar, Go Corona, Corona Go Go...India se tu ab door ho', roughly translates to 'India will triumph and Corona will lose in the war against the pandemic'.

It has been composed and sung by Advait Nemlekar, who has worked in popular Bollywood films like 'Saand Ki Aankh' and some blockbuster Gujarati movies, including 'Gujjubhai the Great'. His latest association was with 'Special Ops' series that starred critically acclaimed actors Kay Kay Menon and Vinay Pathak.
