We are confident that his personality will strike a chord with our audience and fans, and in keeping with our brand imagery, his role in the product video will play a crucial part in fostering a sense of community within the POCO tribe. Collaborations like this enable us to be a part of a cultural movement that deeply connects with the millennial and Gen Z audience.”

    Onsitego, the device care company for electronic devices and appliances, announced a new campaign titled ‘Protection Ka All-Rounder’ featuring cricketer Hardik Pandya.

     

    Said Kunal Mahipal, Founder & CEO of Onsitego: “Powered by easy EMI options, people today buy a Rs. 5000 per month phone vs. a Rs. 80,000 phone paid in one go. In case it gets damaged, the cost of repair can go up to 70-80% of the device price & needs to be paid upfront. Our affordably-priced plans safeguard consumers from such unfortunate expenses. However, in India, only a small fraction of consumers buy protection plans. Our new brand campaign aims to increase consumer awareness about protection plans and underlines the role Onsitego plays.”
