Our current marketing initiatives are aimed to reach out to customers who preferred such products. We used our extensive distribution network of 1200 branch across 1000+ towns and almost 2 lac agents to create awareness of such benefits. Marketing campaigns with support of TV, Print and innovative guarantee express campaign helped to educate customers about products with guarantee from our company.”

The 360-degree activation includes radio activities in the city where the bus will be visiting along with TV advertisements on the theme.
