This exclusive range will be made accessible to fans on the website for a limited time.
The brand will showcase a 360-degree campaign called "Wear Your Smart" throughout the season to further cement its position in the smartwatch category. The campaign will highlight winning moments as well as the brand’s passion for cricket. The brand intends to capture high-intensity moments where every move counts and determines whether a team wins or loses. The campaign aims to capture and illustrate ‘The Champions’ true mindset and attitude.
On the IPL association, Aman Gupta, Co-Founder & CMO of boAt, said, "Cricket has always been and will continue to be seen as a religion in our country. We are excited to partner with various T20 teams once again. This season, we are extending the narrative to make it more inclusive of our smartwatch category. To be a part of this fiesta is a fantastic feeling altogether, and we look forward to a fruitful association this year as well."
