    IndiaMART is set to seal its position as the enabler of business growth with its new brand campaign – ‘India ki Khoj’. The new campaign featuring Irrfan Khan will establish its value proposition of a business facilitator of India, by being the platform that powers the ‘Khoj’ for growth, success, ambitions and legacy.

     

    “It feels great to be associated with this brand and its campaigns that have been inspirational to millions of entrepreneurs as well as the buyers in fulfilling their needs, be it business or personal. Through this campaign, I am sure that it will generate a strong impact and encourage enterprising people across the country to come forward and put their ideas into action,” said Irrfan Khan, India’s critically and globally acclaimed Cine Star.

     

    Speaking of the campaign, Sumit Bedi, Vice President, IndiaMART said, “India’s economic prosperity is fuelled by millions of small & medium sized entrepreneurs. We give them the platform to grow and act as an enabler that they can trust. Through this campaign, we will be celebrating the spirit of enterprises found across the length and breadth of India. Thus, we have summed it up as ‘Khoj’, for everything that they are looking for in life. We don’t just connect markets with opportunity; we connect individuals with their ambitions.”

     

    The campaign has been crafted by ‘Bang in the Middle’ and was shot in Mumbai. Prathap Suthan, CCO and Managing Partner, Bang in the Middle said “Every entrepreneur and every businessman starts his or her journey to follow a dream. The innate search and thirst to achieve a target, reach a landmark, and build an enterprise worthy of the dream in their minds. Our country is full of legends of people who have started small and made global successes, and those stories and surnames are driving forces for a country that’s now woken up.  They are inspiration to those searching for their own footprints to leave behind. This campaign is a tribute to that entrepreneurial spirit, as much as the earthiness of Irrfan adds realness to the grit of these people”

     

    The campaign kick-started with a tweet by Irrfan Khan and will also be amplified through his other digital platforms.
