Official Statements
Vi Chief Marketing Officer, Avneesh Khosla commented, “Mobile data has become a basic necessity for us all, even more so in the current scenario. With our campaign for Vi Hero Unlimited, we chose to highlight the concerns faced by most prepaid customers when they run out of data, and how our latest offering alleviates those concerns.”
Ogilvy South CCO Kiran Antony added saying, “The task was to differentiate Vi Hero Unlimited from the rest by bringing out the two most relevant pain points, running out of data in the middle of the night, and over the weekend. We got Vinay Pathak on board to do this without sounding too preachy or prescriptive. These films capture Vinay Pathak recommending Hero Unlimited to all the distressed people out there.”
