FCB India along with their development partners Boltd have been recognized as the 2019 Amazon Alexa India Champions for their winning idea towards building a scalable voice experience, strategy and complete pitch with a proof of concept and demo.  As they have completed the India round, they will move on to the next leg, which is the APAC round of the Alexa Cup.

The 2019 Amazon Alexa Cup Agency Hackathon is a global competition across 11 countries challenging participants to strategize, prepare, build and pitch an Alexa Skill & go-to-market plan that solves a business problem or a pain-point. Participants compete in qualifying events in each country and the winning teams then proceed to the regional and worldwide challenge.
