The campaign conceptualised and executed by BBH India captures the unique and vibrant racing culture in India – from running small toy cars around the house to racing tyres with a stick, from paper boats in the monsoons to the Vallam Kali boat races in Kerala. Bringing all those childhood memories and the nation’s love for racing to the fore, the campaign highlights how Team Mahindra has the prestigious task of representing India at the Formula E World Championship.
Anand Mahindra, Group Chairman, Mahindra & Mahindra kickstarted the campaign with this tweet –
Commenting on the campaign Asha Kharga, Chief Customer and Brand Officer, Mahindra, said “Mahindra Racing is the first Indian team that competes on the global motor racing stage. It’s not only about delivering a thrilling experience to racing enthusiasts, but is also Mahindra Group’s commitment towards clean technology and sustainability.
