Talking on the advertising and marketing plans, Mehrotra said, “TBWA is our creative agency, and we will be coming up a TVC soon. Regarding other marketing plans, it will take a month before we finalise them.”
Commenting on his new role as brand ambassador, Singh said, “Even though I am going to get offers for brand endorsements and maybe a few modeling offers, too, as I had done some in the past, boxing will always remain my first priority and I hope to come back with a Gold next time.”
Neerav Tomar, CEO, IOS (Infinity Optimal Solutions) Sports and Leisure, said, “We are pleased to present Vijender as a youth icon for Bajaj Allianz and we hope that this is just a beginning of large brand associations for all athletes.”
