Beverage giant Coca-Cola India said it has partnered with Adani Group subsidiary Adani Digital Labs Private Limited to optimize the reach of its brands to consumers across the country.
“As part of this first-of-its-kind initiative, Coca-Cola India is working with Adani Digital Labs to leverage the consumer-centric platform to sample products and develop deep consumer insights and an unparalleled ‘direct connection’ with consumers. Coca-Cola is among the first brands to make their products available on this innovative platform,” the statement added.
As part of the partnership, select new products from the Coca-Cola India portfolio – Fanta Apple Delite and Charged by Thums Up – will be made available for trial at key Indian airports.
Adani sampling is a digital platform that enables brands to interact with travelers and target high-purchasing customers. The platform is currently operational at seven airports and Adani’s C&G stations and will be expanded to other locations.
