India, one of the largest two-wheeler markets in the world, has been kept moving by its bike doctors - the mechanic community. Castrol Activ, India’s leading engine oil brand for two-wheelers, which enjoys a deep relationship with this community, today launched #ProtectIndiasEngine. This is a national campaign to urge India’s bikers, more specifically the youth to pledge support to mechanic upskilling programmes during these unprecedented times of the continuing COVID pandemic.
Conceptualised and developed in collaboration with Network18 and Mindshare, the initiative endorsed by Bollywood actor Shine Shetty is aimed at educating and preparing mechanics for the new normal, as the country slowly begins to open up post lockdown.
Castrol Activ will invest up to Rs. 50 lakh contributing Rs 10 for every pledge received towards upskilling of mechanics. The educational programmes will focus on supporting them to learn new technologies and modern servicing techniques as well as to gain deeper understanding of enhanced health, hygiene and safety measures for their workshops as they restart business. Youth can pledge their support by giving a missed call on 7574-003-002 or by visiting www.protectindiasengine.com. The campaign will run across all Network18 channels and digital platforms from 10th September 2020 to the end of month.
Talking about this initiative, Sandeep Sangwan, managing director – Castrol India said, “Mechanics have helped the country to keep moving ahead even during the lockdown. There were several selfless mechanics who played their role as Covid warriors servicing vehicles at no charge, despite their businesses being significantly impacted. Saluting their passion and strengthening our commitment towards the mechanic community, at Castrol we are keen to prepare them for a bigger tomorrow and support their transition to the new normal through Castrol Activ #ProtectIndiasEngine.”
In the launch film of Castrol Activ’s #ProtectIndiasEngine campaign, Shine Shetty reminisces, “My journey from winning Mr. Mangalore pageant to Bigg Boss has been a long one and my bike has been my trusted companion throughout. My mechanic brothers have always ensured that I keep moving ahead. Today, they are facing tough times due to the pandemic and their wheels have slowed down. I feel strongly for the mechanic community and urge every youth to pledge their support to help us #ProtectIndiasEngine. Your pledge will help towards the upskilling of India’s mechanics and aid them to build a better tomorrow!”
