The objective of this campaign is to engage with consumers in rural markets, who are quality conscious and open to learning.

This initiative will help boost up their morale and aide them in efficient utilization of available resources. This customer-centric campaign is a small step towards the bigger aim of maximizing output from rural markets” said Mr. G. Krishnakumar, while launching the campaign.
