The multimedia campaign is poised to make a significant impact across India’s media landscape. The campaign’s film will be prominently featured on major broadcast networks such as Star Entertainment, Sony Pictures, Zee Entertainment, and Viacom 18. Leveraging high-traffic digital platforms including YouTube, Google, Facebook, and Instagram, as well as cutting-edge tech media platforms, the initiative will tailor its messaging to specific demographics and interests. Additionally, the campaign will extend its reach through connected TV and popular OTT platforms like Disney Hotstar, Jio Cinema, Sony Liv, and Zee5.
