There is nothing like igniting the spark of patriotism among people and what better way to do it than on Independence Day. Every year, brands and services come out with novel ways of paying tribute to the country and the defence forces and also in the bargain communicate across to the consumer that they have been around for many years.
Independence Day related promotions are also in tandem with the PM’s clarion call of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
Let’s see how the various brands and services are endorsing their products on this Independence Day. Financial Express (FE) prepared an exhaustive list.
