    By Our Staff

The Dabbawalas, visited nooks and crannies of Mumbai city to experience & test Vi GIGAnet

     

    Partnering with Dabbawalas, Vi got them to test Vi GIGAnet to understand where the network was seamless and where it needed strengthening on parameters such as data, voice calling, video streaming, gaming etc. The team traversed the length and breadth of Mumbai city, testing the network strength of Vi GIGAnet across 22 wards and over 550 locations. With the help of videos and voice notes, data & responses along with live location sharing, Dabbawalas reported their experience in different parts of the city.

     

    Commenting on the network campaign, Avneesh Khosla, CMO, Vi said: “Mumbai is a key market for us and ensuring a seamless network is paramount. The human network of Dabbawalas gave us a better perspective on Mumbai & a more holistic feedback on the experience as they torture tested the network. Today, we are confident that Vi offers superior network connectivity in the nooks & corners of the city & the dabbawalas are testimony to it. We thank the dabbawalas for this & strive to continuously improve our network in the city.”

     

    Speaking about the work, Kainaz Karmakar & Harshad Rajadhyaksha, CCOs, Ogilvy India, added: “What could possibly be the connection between a modern, cutting-edge network service provider like Vi, and the 134-year-old iconic Dabbawalas service! It is exactly this clash of contrasts that became the creative backbone of this disruptive idea. In a category saturated with technical data and jargon, we set up an unexpected, charming and much trusted human network, as our benchmark to live up to when it comes to covering the megapolis of Mumbai. The Dabbawalas have been such an integral part of the ethos and culture of Mumbai, and we are proud to make the efficiency of their network an inspiration for our Vi network.”

     

    Commenting on the association Ulhas Muke, President, Mumbai Dabbawala Association said: “We are delighted to be chosen by Vi to play a role in improving their network experience for Mumbaikars. Today, we take great pride in the fact that our dabbawala network knows and understands Mumbai and its nuances like no other. Our association with Vi for the torture test was to verify the network strength in Mumbai through the experience of video calls, streaming videos, online gaming, download experience, voice connectivity, and speed tests. We are glad to have been a testimony to Vi’s strong network experience across Mumbai. This unique partnership with Vi has been a validating, satisfying, and an enjoyable experience.”

  • Vi rolls out new campaign

    By Our Staff

    The campaign comprises of a series of 3 TVCs which showcase the continuous effort of network engineers in providing the customers the best network experience with Vi GIGAnet- India’s fastest 4G network. Vi has recently emerged as the Fastest 4G Network in India, winning Opensignal’s Fastest Download & Upload Speed Experience Awards.

     

    Commenting on the campaign, Avneesh Khosla, Chief Marketing Officer, Vi said: “Vi has consistently topped the network quality parameters and speed rating charts of several independent network testing agencies.

    Added Rohit Dubey, ECD, Ogilvy Mumbai: “Announcers are a balancing act, a sweet spot between chest thumping and humility, with a bit of ‘ok…so what?’ closure. And that’s what the crafting challenge was when Vi achieved “India’s fastest 4G” claim. I was watching an athlete’s Insta-feed and noticed the gap between his Olympic gold and the next practice session. There was a seed of thought – after achieving something, even the ‘best’ take a bit of rest, and bask in the moment’s glory. What if our network engineers are cut from a different cloth? And they don’t? Taking a leap from there, we crafted these moments between our Vi network engineers, as they go about making India’s fastest 4G, even better.”
