Nitin Navalkar’s perspective
Nitin Navalkar, Head of Marketing, Onida: ‘While most Air Conditioner campaigns portray the physical discomfort of the summer heat, we were looking to communicate something different. Onads had an idea which really resonated. Back when electronic brands were chasing celebrity endorsements, Onida had its own celebrity in the Devil that could be owned by the brand for many years to come. This visionary approach led to the birth of the iconic Onida Devil in 1984. Recognizing the enduring power of this established property, we opted to revitalize it.”
