    Uber and Lego roll out brick-themed rides to mark flagship launch in India

    MUMBAI: Not all heroes wear capes; some ride in cabs with giant plastic bricks on the roof.

    In a colourful twist to the daily commute, Uber partnered with Lego® to roll out special edition rides across Gurgaon to celebrate the opening of Lego’s first flagship store in India at Ambience Mall. The collaboration has turned ordinary Uber rides into roving reminders of childhood whimsy, featuring cars wrapped in signature Lego colours and topped with oversized bricks.

    Designed to turn heads and trigger nostalgia, the fleet was deployed just in time for the store’s launch, offering riders a literal trip down memory lane. Whether passengers were headed to the store or simply on their way to work, the joy kicked in well before the destination.

    “This partnership is all about bringing imagination to the streets. Uber connects people to places—and now, to moments of creativity and nostalgia too”, the companies said jointly.

    The stunt wasn’t just visual. Uber and Lego amplified the activation through a content-led influencer campaign, spotlighting creators, families, and young fans sharing their ‘Lego-fied’ travel experiences. From social reels to selfie stops, the campaign racked up organic traction, pulling audiences into the world of play and paving the way for experiential branding.

    For Uber, it marked another chapter in its efforts to position itself as more than a mobility solution. The company continues to reimagine urban travel by infusing pop culture, partnerships, and play into its rider experiences.

    The campaign continues through the week in Gurgaon and has already drawn keen interest from riders, onlookers, and influencers alike. With Lego’s flagship store up and running, the collaboration hints at future possibilities where brands meet on roads, quite literally.

    Eventfaqs Media acquires majority stake in Sportzpower

    MUMBAI: In a plot twist worthy of a prime-time sports drama, Eventfaqs Media has levelled up by acquiring a majority stake in Sportzpower—the B2B media brand that’s been quietly powering India’s sports, gaming, and esports chatter since before it was cool. It’s a move that blends backstage brilliance with front-page action, and positions both companies to tackle the subcontinent and the middle east like a well-coordinated tag team.

    The announcement dropped on 11 April 2025, but the game plan is far from a last-minute Hail Mary. Eventfaqs, the heavyweight in India’s events and experiential marketing circuit since 2007, has made it clear: this acquisition is about scaling the turf and owning the spotlight across new markets.

    “We are very excited to take a majority stake in Sportzpower and partner with the brand to assist it in achieving its goals,” said Eventfaqs Media MD Deepak Choudhary. “It is a unique collaboration that will benefit both the brands in our quest to be the leaders in our businesses in the sub-continent and the Middle East markets.”

    Founded in 2008, Sportzpower built its niche through deep dives into India’s sports industry—be it cricket, football, golf or esports—delivering analysis, forums, newsletters, and more to the suits behind the stadium lights. With their signature single-sport knowledge series and dedicated forums like India Football Forum and India Pro Leagues Forum, they’ve made business-speak out of sport-speak.

    Sportzpower co-founder Thomas Abraham called the deal “a thrilling moment”, adding, “It comes at an opportune time as the sports sector is growing at a scorching pace in India, and the middle east countries are now establishing their interest and growing in multiple sports, including cricket.”

    Meanwhile, fellow co-founder C.P. Thomas sees the move as a launchpad. “This collaboration… will propel Sportzpower to play a pivotal role in shaping the narrative in India and beyond for these new-age industries,” he said. Translation: it’s not just about reporting the news—it’s about making it.

    The synergy here isn’t just corporate fluff. Eventfaqs brings its multi-channel muscle—across digital, print, and live events—to help Sportzpower step into the international arena with bigger conferences, broader audiences, and brighter lights. And with gaming and esports booming faster than a T20 innings, timing couldn’t be sharper.

    The goal? To become the dominant voice in the B2B media landscape of sport, gaming, and experiential marketing.

    Think less press release, more power play.
