Bengaluru – April 13, 2023: Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, has launched its latest advertising campaign ‘Time to Move on and Upgrade with Flipkart!’ featuring renowned Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan. While focusing on promoting attractive offers on large-screen TVs through sellers during the ongoing cricket season, the campaign also encourages consumers to upgrade or exchange their old TVs for a better viewing experience. With Shikhar Dhawan as the protagonist, the campaign aims to reach out to consumers who are considering upgrading their TV sets, as well as those gearing up to enjoy the cricketing season.

With the ongoing cricket season being hugely popular in India, Flipkart’s latest campaign is expected to generate a lot of buzz and interest among cricket fans and TV buyers alike. The ad campaign will be promoted on popular social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.

Divided in two segments, the advertisement begins with a leaked video of Shikhar Dhawan where he is heard talking to his friend about finding someone new in his life. Shikhar is seen sitting with a friend in his living room, where he discusses moving on in life and finding someone with perfect compatibility. However, the video ends abruptly, leaving viewers curious about what he meant. This is followed by the second part where the cricketer clears the air and reveals that he was actually talking about falling in love with a beautiful TV, his new love and perfect partner this cricket season. He invites viewers to find their perfect partner from the widest selection of TVs available on Flipkart.

The ad showcases the captivating picture quality and immersive Dolby surround sound of the TVs made available by a wide-range of brands on the Flipkart platform, promising customers an unmatched viewing experience.

Customers can purchase 4K TVs from an expansive-range of brands starting at Rs. 17,000/-, along with amazing offers and deals offered by the brands.

Jagjeet Harode, Vice President, Large Appliances at Flipkart, expressed his excitement about the new ad campaign, stating “The television segment has rapidly evolved in recent years, and Flipkart is committed to providing access to a wide selection of smart TVs from various brands to meet the changing needs of customers.
