Mumbai: IndusInd Bank, in collaboration with GoSports Foundation, has launched a brand new campaign to commemorate the achievements of its supported para-athletes across various sport disciplines. Christened ‘Phirse #JeetKaHalla’, the campaign speaks about the rigour of the preparation undertaken by our para-athletes, as they gear up to compete with the best in the world at an international arena.
In 2016, IndusInd Bank had unveiled '#JeetKaHalla' - a campaign to honour its para-athletes under the Para Champions Programme, and brought to light their contribution to the country by creating a nationwide movement of support. Retaining the essence of ‘JeetKaHalla’, the bank has also unveiled a heartwarming and inspiring film that showcases the grit and determination of these athletes. Conceived & ideated by RK Swamy BBDO partner & executive creative director Ankur Suman, produced by Films Rajendraa, and directed by Yogesh Agrawal, the anthem aims to inspire every Indian to cheer and support our para champions in their quest to bring laurels for the country.
IndusInd Bank head – Consumer Bank, Soumitra Sen said, “Given the stupendous success of the #JeetKaHalla campaign in 2016, we were keen on nurturing it in a way that it becomes a testament to the bank’s belief in the power of para-sports. In keeping with this thought, we are proud to unveil this new campaign which retains the spirit of ‘JeetKaHalla’, while also goes a step further, in reflecting the sheer determination, strength and resilience of our para-athletes, as they gear up to represent the country at an International platform. The campaign underscores our constant commitment to the para- athletes and throws light on how we, in our own way, are trying to make a difference to the wonderful community that we are a part of, while also focusing on our core mission of being a partner in every walk of life."
In a bid to give this initiative a wider reach, the bank has embarked on a comprehensive digital media campaign that will create the impact, and help in mobilising the momentum of seeking encouragement for these heroes.
The Para Champions Programme was launched in the financial year 2015-2016 by the bank in partnership with the GoSports FoundatioN to support para-athletes across various sports disciplines. The programme currently supports 43 para-athletes across seven disciplines from 14 states across the country by helping them fulfil their nutrition, fitness & conditioning, medical support as well as domestic & international training requirements, said the statement.
