Speaking of the conclave, WION editor-in-chief Sudhir Chaudhary said, “The mainstream media has only reported about the consequences of the climate change. However, we feel there is a need for more practical solutions towards addressing climate change issues. This is an honest attempt at bringing light to practical ways of incentivising actions taken towards climate changes.”

During the event, speakers addressed global energy crisis and its effects on fossil fuel market. The panel discussions also put forth methods to improve investments in solutions to a crisis caused due to climate changes – such as forest fires, floods, droughts, melting ice caps, rising sea levels, etc.

The panels instilled a sense of urgency in ensuring the accountability of the developed nations towards contributing to the high emissions. There was a strong focus on the need to switch to alternative solutions such as electric vehicles, solar energy, wind power etc.

The panelist might be a subject expert, a celebrity, an influencer, or even a decision-maker. The audience on the other hand will engage in sharing ideas with other members and can even create their own conversation and stream it live in video and audio formats. The other key feature is TownHall, a space where people can share personal opinions, updates via audio & visual content. One can further like, comment, circulate and share another user’s post. This enables the users to create a network of like-minded people.

Engaging in one-on-one conversations is imperative to any social platform and hence Khul Ke’s native messenger Yapp will enable members to interact with other individuals directly and privately.

Speaking on its beta rollout, a source close to the management said, “This platform is for the people and by the people who love conversations. It was conceived and conceptualised keeping in mind the limitations existing platforms have. So Khul Ke is designed as a one-stop destination for conversation lovers.

The channel has come up with an interesting marketing strategy to ensure that the new season creates mass hysteria of an unforeseen magnitude. Catering to more than one lakh people per day, the channel also used floating OOH in key Mumbai sites like Bandra Worli Sea Link and Juhu Beach for high-impact visibility.

The highlight initiative was the biggest and first-of-its-kind fan-sourced 360-degree dance video mosaic on the streets of Mumbai. The idea provided passionate dancers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to express their undying love for dance while being captured by a 360-degree rotating camera.

Boost addresses gender prejudice on its mobile cricket game

Mumbai: Boost, one of India’s most trusted health food drink brands has stepped in to offer cricket fans a more interactive world cup experience by releasing “Boost: Game Stamina Ka.” Launched on 4 March in partnership with World Cricket Championship 3 (WCC3), the game promotes women’s cricket during the ongoing Women’s World Cup.

Through this game, Boost wants to spread the message that ‘Game Ladke Ladkiyon ka Nahin, Stamina ka Hai,’ reiterating their legacy of cricket being a game of stamina and not genders. Conceptualised by Mindshare Content+, “Boost: Game Stamina Ka” is a one of its kind game that has a custom mode where the players can battle a male squad with an all-female squad.

Boost is ready to join the cricket fever and represent the spirit of cricket in India. Cricket is a game where a person’s stamina, perseverance, and performance speak volumes. Cricket, regardless of gender, just requires stamina and skills to succeed. In India, women who aspire to play cricket encounter a variety of challenges, including the preconceived notion of men being better than women as players. Boost in their communication wants to debunk the myth and tell everyone that the only thing that matters on the field is performance. This in return gave birth to their proposition – ‘Stamina Beats All,’ which translates to ‘Game Ladke Ladkiyon Ka Nahin, Stamina Ka Hain.’ The brand has a rich legacy of inspiring the underdogs and giving them the right motivation and stamina to overcome challenges, even when the odds are against them.

“At Boost, we are constantly discovering ways to connect with our consumers. ‘Boost: Game Stamina Ka’ celebrates our sportswomen who have not only proved their mettle but have also inspired thousands of girls across the world,” said HUL vice president – nutrition category Krishnan Sundaram. “Through this new game, we believe that we can reach out to ardent cricket fans with a much-needed fresh perspective without compromising on the entertainment quotient. Our aim has always been to provide the consumers with the best possible experience by constantly innovating and maintaining their interests. The passion and enthusiasm the Indian audience has for cricket will enable them to have a gripping gaming experience.”

Packed with superior gameplay and graphics, it comes with an in-game rewards system. If a gamer wins a match after it is completed, the winners are tallied onto a weekly leader board, and the top three players will earn platinum rewards every week, as well as an exciting prize from the brand. The game is accessible both on iOS and Android.

“We live in a cricket-crazy nation and we are proud to associate with this campaign that aims to break stereotypes,” commented Mindshare Content+ & Partnerships SVP Ajay Mehta. “While the TV and digital campaign drove home this brand messaging around ‘stamina’ and ‘performance,’ it was equally important to demonstrate the message in an engaging manner and at scale. Collaborating with Boost, WCC3 and GroupM ESP, we wanted to appeal to our audiences including women gamers in a unique and compelling way, with the ongoing women’s world cup.”
