This Gudi Padwa, which marks the beginning of Marathi new year, TATA Tea Premium – Desh Ki Chai, the flagship brand from Tata Tea’s diverse portfolio, hosted a unique all-women Shobhayatra (Bike Rally) in Pune and Aurangabad as a part of the brand’s hyperlocal approach to celebrate Sarvgunni spirit of Marathi women. The grand event brought together 300 plus ‘Sarvaguni’ women across these 2 cities, dressed in authentic Maharashtrian Nauvari Sarees and accessories, riding their bikes with a pillion rider. Celebrated Marathi actress Sai Tamhankar flagged off the event and interacted with the women bikers who undertook the 3 km rally ride in Pune.
A company release states the brand believes the true spirit of the Marathi woman lies in her versatility, by playing multiple roles to perfection, embodying the true meaning of ‘Sarvaguni’. They are Sarv Gunn Sampann - just like Tata Tea Premium Chai, that has many facets of great taste, strength and aroma.
Speaking about the campaign, Puneet Das, President, Packaged Beverages, India & South Asia, Tata Consumer Products Limited, “Tata Tea Premium’s aim in Maharashtra has been to drive emotional connect and evoke the true pride of the state. In continuation of our hyperlocal strategy, we are driving engagement with strong region-specific insights that rekindles the passion for the brand among its consumers.
