Kapil Dev will now be endorsing BSLI. He will be responsible for fuelling the business growth of the company and widening its brand recall
Kapil Dev will now be acting as corporate brand ambassador for Birla Sun Life Insurance (BSLI). Dev will play the key role in the brand, product marketing and promotional activities. As brand ambassador, he would be fuelling the business growth of the company and ensuring that its brand recall grows.
Dev – who attained his sporting glory with the 1983 World Cup win, remained India’s top strike bowler for almost 15 years and had match figures of more than 5,000 runs and 434 wickets – is a favourite with the majority of the population. The research study conducted by BSLI shows Kapil Dev has high acceptance among the masses and connects extremely well with the life insurance category. He is, therefore, a perfect match for a brand that represents long-term trust and consistency.
