Rajiv Mathrani, Chief Brand Officer, Bharti Airtel, commented, “A digital lifestyle enabled by smartphones is fast becoming the new normal and customers look to do more and more with their devices. At Airtel, we have invested in world-class technology to build a future ready smartphone network that allows customers to do that much more with their smartphones. And what better way to showcase the endless possibilities of a smartphone on the Airtel network than through the limitless imagination of kids.” 

Elaborating on the campaign, Agnello Dias, Chairman and Co-Founder, Taproot Dentsu, “Airtel always comes across as a future-ready mobile network as it constantly innovates and pushes the envelope.

So Airtel & Kids was an apt fit.”
