    Oneplus launches ‘light a light, plant a plant’ with Jackie Shroff this Diwali

    MUMBAI: This Diwali, Oneplus is lighting up homes and green spaces alike. The brand has unveiled a heartfelt campaign titled “light a light, plant a plant”, collaborating with actor Jackie Shroff and his NGO, JK Foundation, with a commitment to plant 1 lakh trees across India.

    Commenting on the campaign, Oneplus India director of marketing Ishita Grover said, “Our campaign is a heartfelt celebration of joy and a brighter, hopeful future. By sharing the spirit of giving and togetherness, we hope to spark a movement where celebration and a greener future go hand in hand.”
