    Indian work sparkled with two Golds for Hindustan Unilever and Dainik Bhaskar Group. PHD India won a Gold for Best Use of Mobile Media for its Rin Career Ready Academy while the Dainik Bhaskar Group’s film “Zid karo, Duniya Badlo” on girl child literacy won a Gold in the Corporate Film Category. There were seven finalists from India. Montreux does not have a tradition of Silver or Bronze so a finalist works like a metal.
