MyTeam11 unveils ‘Ab Poora India Khelega’ campaign for Indian T20 season

0

Fantasy sports platform MyTeam11 has come up with their campaign for the Indian T20 Season – “Ab Poora India Khelega”. This is aimed at bringing forth the narrative of how fantasy cricket is meant for all and brings every Indian household closer by binding them through the passion for their favourite sport, players and teams.

The campaign was launched through three videos that depict the bittersweet relationship between a father and a son and how people in an Indian household bond over the game of cricket, especially, during the world’s largest T20 cricket extravaganza. The campaign also aims to target the fact that playing fantasy cricket on MyTeam11 is meant for everyone and how the user-friendly application makes learning fantasy cricket easy.

The storyline of each campaign video depicts a son who is smart, tech-savvy, a fantasy cricket enthusiast and an avid user of MyTeam11. He believes that his father knows nothing about fantasy cricket and goes on to ignore his words. However, in a counter of events, at the end of each film, it is shown that the father is well aware of MyTeam11 and outsmarts his son making more prudent choices owing to his sheer superior understanding of cricket leaving the son astounded.

The central characters of the campaign are played by veteran film and TV Actor, Kanwaljit Singh, who is seen playing the role of the father while the role of the son is portrayed by Chhichhore and Aashram star, Tushar Pandey.

Manvendra Singh Rathore, CMO, MyTeam11, said, “A father and a son’s relationship has evolved with changing times especially when it comes to our favourite sport of cricket. But what still remains exclusive and competitive is the knowledge of the sport. This is exactly what we have also tried to capture in our latest campaign “Ab Poora India Khelega”. We have explained while fantasy cricket now captures the imagination of every Indian household but the knowledge of the sport is still paramount which brings them closer.”

“We have also tried to showcase that the MyTeam11 application is a seamless and user-friendly product and can be used by anyone and everyone while aiding the learning of fantasy cricket,” he added.

The video campaign of “Ab Poora India Khelega” will also be complemented by the existing brand voices of MyTeam11 wherein brand ambassador Virender Sehwag shall be seen alongside former New Zealand speedster Danny Morrison, renowned cricket TV hosts Jatin Sapru, Mayanti Langer, Sanjana Ganeshan and Suhail Chandhok across all campaign collaterals.

MyTeam11 had launched the “India Ki Apni Fantasy App” during the 2020 Indian T20 Season and saw immense success leading to a 3-3.5x rise in the number of participants on the platform.

iRobot today expanded its Roomba robot vacuum lineup with the launch of the new Roomba iSeries products i3 and i3+ in India.

Puresight Systems, the exclusive and official distributor of iRobot products in India brings the pack of stylish robotic vacuum cleaners with advanced features available for customers at their offline and online stores. Starting at INR 69,900 the Roomba i3+ offers intelligent navigation, self-emptying capability with Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal, and an expanded range of personalized cleaning features powered by the recently launched iRobot Genius Home Intelligence. For customers interested in purchasing the robotic vacuum cleaner without the Clean Base feature, the Roomba i3 is also available at a selling price of INR 49,900.

Adding on to the customer delight, iRobot has announced a limited period launch offer on the two smart home appliances. As part of the exclusive offer, the Roomba i3 will be available at INR 39,900 and the Roomba  i3+ at INR 59,900.

Keith Hartsfield, Executive Vice President, and Chief Product Officer at iRobot said, “Innovative cleaning experiences have been, and always will be, the core aim of our product offerings. We have a proven track record of delivering products that make consumers’ lives easier. The Roomba i3+ expands our lineup to offer not only exceptional cleaning performance but greater personalization and control delivered by iRobot Genius. The iRobot Genius platform also allows the new Roomba i3+ to evolve and get smarter over time, providing new ways for customers to clean their unique homes.”

Similar to the iRobot Roomba i7+ and Roomba s9+ robot vacuums, the Roomba i3+ comes equipped with the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal. With Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal, the robot empties debris on its own, with no intervention from the user. Consumers don’t have to think about emptying the bin for months at a time or worrying the robot won’t finish the job due to a full bin. The Roomba i3+ automatically empties up to 60 days’ worth of dirt and debris into the Clean Base, which doubles as the robot’s charging station. The debris is then locked away in the Clean Base’s enclosed AllergenLock bag that uses four layers of allergen blocking material to trap 99 percent of pollen and mold.

The Roomba i3+ purposefully and logically cleans in neat rows to navigate multiple rooms within the home, across hard floors and carpet. If the robot’s battery runs low, the Roomba i3+ will automatically recharge and resume cleaning until the job is complete.

The Roomba i3+ is also equipped with a High-Efficiency Filter that captures 99 percent of pollen, mold, dust mites, and cat and dog allergens. The robot’s 3-Stage Cleaning System consists of Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes that work together to effectively clean, a specially designed Edge-Sweeping Brush to get into corners, and 10X the Power-Lifting Suction as compared to Roomba 600 Series. Using patented Dirt Detect technology, the Roomba i3+ knows where dirt builds up and focuses cleaning in those specific areas.

The Roomba i3+ brings a thoughtful new design that fits well into consumers’ homes, with a durable, woven texture that minimizes fingerprints and collects less dust. The hidden-until-lit light ring helps the robot blend into the background, only lighting up to communicate robot behaviors or notifications when the robot is actively cleaning.

Users can also get more out of their Roomba i3+ with the newly redesigned iRobot Home App, powered by iRobot Genius, which takes users beyond standard app control to give them a personalized cleaning experience. Available for iOS and Android devices, iRobot’s state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and home understanding capabilities enable the Roomba i3+ to learn how you like to clean. The Roomba i3+ will offer personalized suggestions via the iRobot Home App, such as recommended cleaning schedules based on past cleaning jobs and helpful cleaning suggestions during pet-shedding or allergy seasons.

Event-based automation can be set up directly within the iRobot Home App, an exclusive capability for iRobot customers that is powered by iRobot Genius and IFTTT Connect. Whether you’re heading off to work or going for a hike, the Roomba i3+ can begin cleaning when prompted by smart home devices, like the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock. When paired with Alexa-enabled devices or Google, users can control the Roomba i3+ with just the sound of their voice. The Roomba i3+ also supports Imprint Link Technology so that it can team up with the iRobot Braava jet m6 mopping robot to deliver an extra level of clean.

The Roomba i3+ robot vacuum is available for purchase online in India for INR 69,900 and the Roomba i3 robot vacuum can also be purchased without the Clean Base starting at a selling price of INR 49,900.
