    ABP Group completes 100 years in Indian media, launches campaign

    Mumbai: The ABP Group has launched a campaign celebrating its 100-year journey in the Indian media space on Thursday. The network unveiled its centenary logo designed by renowned creative director and writer Agnello Dias and as well as a film. “Both the logo and the film are a reiteration of the foundational ideas of ABP, its core beliefs that have stood the test of time for a century now,” said the statement.

    “ABP Group’s centenary logo represented by the question mark emanates from the fact that curiosity makes everything in life interesting,” said ABP network pvt ltd’s ceo Dhruba Mukherjee.

    “While many forces illuminate ABP’s influence, an unflinching sense of curiosity permeates all the rest. As a result, more than being the sixth sense, this is probably the first for us – an inquisitive gene that drives the primal human need to know more. We believe this iconic logo will best represent our brand identity across media, across different decades, and geographies. With that trust, we chose our centenary year for this excellent occasion to express and capture it once and for all,” he added.

    ABP Network’s ceo Avinash Pandey said, “100 years of curiosity is what built the ABP Group and through the course of that century we have always aspired to help shape thinking through insightful and credible content.”

    “Since inception the name ABP has stood for content that is relevant and unbiased. As we step into the 2nd century of our existence, we look forward to keeping our legacy alive and are committed to work tirelessly to strengthen an informed and open society. Through the Centennial Celebration Campaign, the ABP Group intends to resonate these core objectives with our readers, viewers, stakeholders, and every Indian of today and tomorrow,” he added.

    Agnello Dias said, “Visualizing the journey of the brand ABP Group, we made a film that is a cinematic parable told through the eyes of a little one whose drive sets off the search for a certain geographical destination.”

    “We intended for it to have that surreal yet uncooked emotion that is both innocent and ethereal. The whole campaign around the brand logo captures the most succinct depiction of what the brand stands for as the human face of all questions,” Dias added.

    100 years of Indian cinema celebrated in South Africa

    MUMBAI: Indian cinema celebrated its centenary with a gala show in South Africa in which 100 awards were given to individuals and organisations which have played a role in promoting the music and dance of the films in South Africa.

    “We are likely to never again in our lifetimes see a gathering like this of every senior artist from the Gauteng province joining social welfare organisations, promoters of Indian live shows and print and electronic media,” Kishore Badal, who coordinated the artists for the show, has been quoted to have said.

    The concept of the Indian Cinema Centenary Awards was initiated by South Africa‘s foremost Bollywood critic and writer, Fakir Hassen, who has written two books on his encounters with people from the Indian film industry for almost four decades.

    His latest book 250 Bollywood Encounters recounts tales of the ups and downs of that number of people from the Indian film industry whom he has met and interviewed.

    “With strong support from the Indian High Commission and South African Indian business sector, the first objective has ensured books being placed in schools and libraries across the country,” quipped Hassen.
