Each advertisement highlights the name of a restaurant partner and their signature dish, serving as a personalized promotional tool tailored for the IPL season. Produced by Ryde Productions, the campaign aims to enhance the promotional efforts of restaurant partners by engaging with customers through relatable content during the cricket frenzy.
Sahibjeet Singh Sawhney, Head of Marketing at Zomato, expressed enthusiasm about the initiative, stating, “At Zomato, we continuously strive to offer value-added services to our restaurant partners and customers.
