Marie Gold My Startup campaign aimed to fulfill Indian women’s aspirations of embarking on an entrepreneurial journey and finding financial independence. Through the years, we have been beginning to see a shift in their mindsets—from being a homemaker to a maker of many things. We received an overwhelming response to the campaign with over 1.4 million homemakers from across India writing in with their business ideas. We are committed to continuing and strengthening our journey with India's aspiring homemakers. We thank the eminent jury for recognizing and rewarding the Marie Gold My Start Up Initiative.”

Vikram Bahl, Area Marketing Lead, Nutrition & Digestive Health, GSKCH India Subcontinent said, “Horlicks as a brand has aimed at providing necessary nutrition to students to achieve more. Through this campaign, we wanted to highlight that emotional nutrition is as important as physical nutrition for students to overcome the fear of exams. For us, Fearless Kota was a medium to showcase that mother’s love is the best dose of emotional nutrition to help a child overcome stress and face exams fearlessly. We are delighted that the campaign was recognized at one of the most prestigious platforms. Getting recognition for our efforts is testimony for the great work done by the team.”

Kumar Razdan, Head – Theatricals, BookMyShow said, “We are delighted to have won one of the most coveted awards in South Asia, for a campaign that is so close to our hearts. The launch of Disney’s Aladdin was an important milestone for us as it set the tone for BookMyShow’s transformation into an entertainment destination. In an entertainment-loving country like ours, consumers are constantly looking for exciting and varied experiences. With Disney’s Aladdin, it was finally time to give Indian audiences the ticket to a whole new world of entertainment with big-ticket live events in their own country. Genesis BCW has been an integral part of this journey, and has worked as true partners trying new innovative approaches to consistently deliver across seasons. Kudos to the team for doing a great job and spreading the magic of Disney's Aladdin all over India!
