Usha International launches its "Live like a Racer" TVC featuring Narain Karthikeyan

New Delhi: Usha International, one of India's leading consumer durables companies, today launched a new campaign including both digital and TVC for its recently launched Racer fans. This range is endorsed by Narain Karthikeyan, India's first Formula One driver, who embodies its spirit. Aimed at filling the need gap for ultra-high-speed fans with superior air delivery, the Racer fans cater to the evolving consumer who wants that 'little bit more'. The campaign is also supported by BTL activations including a promotional scheme for trade partners, and in-shop promotions, across India.

Set on a racing track, the TVC starts with Narain Karthikeyan in his driving suit as he pulls on his gloves, picks up his helmet, and walk towards his Formula One car. Cut to the flag-off point, where Narain gives a thumbs up to start, and the black and white checkered flag signals the start of the race and the cars vroom ahead. The final lap, Narain zooms across the finish line to emerge the winner. Cut to Narain walking into his trophy filled room, placing his helmet and picking up the remote to switch on the Racer ceiling fan by Usha International. The TVC is about technology, innovation and speed, the characteristics of a quintessential racer, and each of which are an intrinsic part of Racer fans. The TVC ends with glimpses of the Racer fans range and Narain urging viewers to "Live like a Racer".
