  • Isobar India launches ‘The Blind Faith Upgrade’

     

     

    Isobar India has introduced the Blind Faith Upgrade, a cause-oriented initiative under accessible tourism. A sustainable step towards accessible tourism, this initiative explores the challenges faced by visually-impaired travellers and allows the hotel to transform any of its rooms into a visually-impaired-friendly room. The launch of the initiative was first introduced at Hotel Ramada, Ajmer.

     

    In the light of the growing awareness for accessible tourism in India and the alarming ratio 1:250 of differently-abled-friendly hotel rooms to the total number of hotel rooms, Isobar introduced this initiative at Hotel Ramada, Ajmer with the Blind Faith Upgrade Kit. The kit includes Braille labels which can convert any phone into a Braille-enabled phone, reusable tactile paving tiles and Braille literature with audio assist.

     

    Manish Gupta, General Manager, Hotel Ramada, Ajmer said, “At Ramada, we are constantly working to deliver better hospitality experiences to our patrons. We are glad we could take up the Blind Faith Upgrade initiative; it fits right into our vision. As a hospitality brand, it’s our objective to deliver accessible tourism to all. This is an important step towards it.”

     

    On the launch of this initiative, Shamsuddin Jasani, MD Isobar India states, “We’re all accountable towards building a community in which we wish to live – not just for ourselves, but for generations to come. We at Isobar are trying to focus on overcoming key challenges in our quest for a sustainable community. We are looking at taking this a step towards creating an informed society and urging the other key players across tourism industry to adopt the same across their properties in India.”

     

    Speaking about the project, Gopa Kumar, Executive Vice President, Isobar India shares, “Accessibility is a key concern for letting the elderly and differently-abled people feel confident that they can travel without facing any problems.We hope this initiative would help spread further awareness about accessible tourism and bring further advancements across larger players within the hospitality space.”

     

    Anish Varghese, National Creative Director, Isobar India added, “We wanted to bring to light the fact that, being differently-abled is not the obstacle, accessibility is. We developed a solution that allows any hotel to transform any of its rooms into a comfortable, convenient place of stay for the visually-impaired. It’s our step towards ensuring universal accessibility.”

     

     

  • Adidas says #ItsOnYou, for non-runners

     

     

    Isobar has recently launched a digital campaign – #ItsOnYou – for Adidas.

     

    Commenting on the launch of the new campaign, #ItsOnYou, Sunil Gupta, BU – Head, Adidas Running said: “#ItsOnYouis a thought that echoes an urban dilemma – the clash between the excuse and the tiny voice within, that knows the hollowness of the excuse. Of the fact that if we’re to achieve something for ourselves, everything to make it happen – is ultimately, within’. Through the film, we set out to showcase some of the thoughts people might have at the ‘moment of truth’ – that metaphorical wake-up call which may spur is into action or lull is into accepting another excuse. Through real people and their very real stories, we hope the message reaches women across strata, geographies and professions – that their run, their energy is in their own hands. The team at Isobar captured this thought beautifully.”

    Added Anish Varghese, National Creative Director, Isobar India said: “In today’s busy lifestyle, it’s getting easier for people to find excuses – whether it’s to run or not to run. This is an attempt to make people realize that no matter what excuse you choose, nothing in the world can make you run. There will be many things which will pull you back, but in the end the onus is on you to get up and go for that run.”
