Based on the theme #OwnTheNarrative, the 3rd edition of this power-packed 300+ minutes virtual conference will explore the avenues that communication and PR professionals have at hand to manage brand and people reputation as well as create positive and convincing narratives that help bridge differences and weed out falsehoods. It will also explore hot topics like topics like, secrets of maintaining good PR across an organization, corporate communication in the new normal, fictionalising facts: communicating in the age of alt truth, role of communication in handling crisis and more.

The event will witness over 1000 attendees and more than 30 eminent speakers including 4 keynote sessions from top communications leaders like Andy Pharoah, Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Mars Incorporated; Lavanya Wadgaonkar, Head, Global Strategy and International Communications, Nissan Motor Corporation; Dr. Zoe Hibbert, Senior Vice President, Head of Corporate Communication, Asia Pacific, Visa; Neelesh Misra, Audio Storyteller and Founder, Slow. The ET BE Kaleido Awards will start immediately after the conclave, recognising and rewarding the work done by public relations and corporate communication professionals and organisations in the past year– work that not only stood out but was also purposeful.

Andy Pharoah, Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability, Mars Incorporated said, “We are living in a time when purpose and mission have never been more important, especially with so much noise and clutter. The way the world is moving now – the history we are living right now – is the biggest ever test case of a company’s mission. So walking the walk has never been so important.”

Lavanya Wadgaonkar, Head, Global Strategy and International Communications, Nissan Motor Corporation, said, “Always start with the audience and what they care about. Crafting a story that resonates with the target audience is no easy task and crafting right stories that resonate with multiple audiences that work in sync with your business purpose — well, that’s art. But again a carefully crafted story is only half the equation. The science is in how we want to tell the story to drive engagement, advocacy and action.”

Neelesh Misra, Audio Storyteller and Founder, Slow said, “I have been creating a certain kind of content over the last ten years. I often wonder what has been the reason that our story-telling works across geographies and social strata. Why do listeners in remote parts of Kashmir or the north-east, southern India or listeners across continents relate to these stories? They do it because our stories stand for the extraordinary moments in the lives of ordinary Indians. Over the past decade, we have shown that good content can also be massy. We have shown that one doesn’t have to corrupt, stereotype or objectify in order to reach millions of people. That is our victory! This strengthens my belief further that no matter how much people stop you from doing good, if you believe in your story and own the narrative genuinely, it will always be welcomed eventually.”

Paresh Chaudhry, Chief Brand Custodian, Adani Group and Jury Chair – Kaleido Awards, said, “We have all seen how brand communication has evolved all over again in the post-COVID world. This transformation has reinforced the fundamental values that build distinguished brands. These are brands that believe in citizen communication through a sharp focus on cutting-edge innovation, long-term social impacts through measurable ESG communication, and collective contributions to the brand narrative of a nation. Given this context, I am expecting some path-breaking entries for the prestigious ,Brand Equity Kaleido Awards 2021 and working with a distinguished bunch on the grand jury panel. Good luck to all the participants!”

Flat 50% off Real Deals on Dineout’s Great Indian Restaurant Festival this March

Feb 25, 2021 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments #CEO & Co-founder - Dineout, #Gurpreet Singh, #Head, #InterMiles, #Marketing, #Mr. Ankit Mehrotra, #Mr. Vikas Chandak, #Senior VP & Head – Business & Strategic Partnerships, #United Breweries Ltd

Every advertising & marketing campaign often comes with a catch. But Dineout – India’s largest dining out and restaurant tech solutions platform, is promising its users that there are no hidden conditions or limitations when they say Flat 50% off on restaurant bills. They announced the 6th edition of Dineout Great Indian Restaurant Festival (GIRF), India’s largest and most awaited annual restaurant festival, slated to take place from 26th February to 31st March, 2021 at 10,000 leading restaurants across 20 cities. Some popular chains participating in this festival are S cafe, Indore Kitchen, Constellation, The Creative Kitchen, House of Malts, The Eighteen, The Piano Project, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Barbeque Nation, Cafe Delhi Heights & many more.

2020 was a year of shutdown and loss of income for the restaurant industry. Dineout aims to bring back users to dine out again with GIRF and help elevate the restaurant industry back on its feet stronger. Based on the simple insight of how Indians love to save and get value for their money, marrying it with their love for food and how it is enjoyed best when served hot and fresh. Their campaign tells users that “Dineout Par Dekho” if they want real 50% off deals unlike others who only give Rs. 100 off using new age enticing ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) content.

To make their offering even more lucrative, they have continued their partnership with some top of the game brands like HDFC Bank, InterMiles and Kingfisher. From cashback on buying deals to getting an extra 15% off (over and above the 50% off) using existing HDFC Bank Credit Cards, users can get a massive 65% off on their bills! InterMiles users can earn 1 InterMile for every Rs. 40 spent via Dineout Pay.

Commenting on the latest edition of GIRF, Mr. Ankit Mehrotra, CEO & Co-founder – Dineout said, “Our biggest issue was communicating to users that when we say 50% off we mean it. In the age of online sales where brands often use big % discounts and not mean them, customers lose trust. Dineout Par Dekho reduces that gap and further enables the trust in users with the end result being more footfall & business for restaurants! Moreover we saw a massive spike this Valentine’s Day with 40% more users dining out as compared to last year. Which means 2021 is going to be a good year for all of us!”

“This is our 4th edition in the row partnering with Dineout for their Great Indian Restaurant Festival. Dining out is an important category for us where our existing cardholders frequently use our services on a large scale. Our partnership with Dineout is like a glove that fits perfectly ensuring a growth for both the brands and making users the ultimate winners from this association!” says, a spokesperson from HDFC Bank.

Mr. Vikas Chandak, Senior VP & Head – Business & Strategic Partnerships, InterMiles said, “The 2021 edition of GIRF is our third consecutive year of an immensely successful association with Dineout, which over the years have helped us create a robust presence for InterMiles as a location agnostic Dining rewards currency. In the last few months we have also strengthened the Dine platform on the InterMiles App where our members can earn & redeem miles as well as leverage InterMiles as a currency to secure additional savings on dining bills at over 10,000 restaurants across India, over and above Dineout offers. We are encouraged by the revival of the F&B industry and hopeful that our differentited value proposition will make InterMiles the most preferred Dining Rewards destination for our members on an everyday basis”

Speaking on the association, Gurpreet Singh, Head, Marketing, United Breweries Ltd said. “We are delighted to have Kingfisher associated with Dineout’s Great Indian Restaurant Festival and sponsor their beverage category. With unmatched deals on food and beverage, we look forward to keeping the good times flowing for our patrons. This is a perfect time to make the most of some great deals and enjoy the good times with limitless options”

Dineout has a legacy of having organized 5 successful editions of GIRF since 2017. Last year, Dineout seated 5 million diners and generated 550Cr revenue for their restaurant partners. It also helped its participating restaurants garner higher revenue than the usual days. They are optimistic about this year’s addition too with dining out being one of the prime forms of entertainment and being profitable for the restaurant industry.

Quote on Brookfield REIT: Vishal Ahuja, Head, Private Wealth Group, JLL India

Feb 4, 2021 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #Head, #JLL India, #Private Wealth Group, #Vishal Ahuja

By Vishal Ahuja, Head, Private Wealth Group, JLL India.

Brookfield REIT is the first completely institutionally managed REIT in the country. This offering comes with strong sponsor credentials as they are one of the largest asset management companies globally and have a great track record. The asset portfolio comprises of blue-chip tenants offering stable returns and with a potential of capital appreciation over a period of time.

Commercial space has witnessed a few large transactions recently. Also, most of the tenants continued to pay rents last year inspite of all the uncertainties. These factors offer a lot of comfort to the retail investors and hence we expect a good response to the REIT.

The success of the first two REITs clearly defines the positive sentiment from the investor community towards Commercial REITs. Both, Embassy REIT and Mindspace REIT were well received by institutions as well as retail investors. This has opened the doors for other large institutions/developers to come forward and list their portfolio. We expect more REITs coming up in the near future.
