As India gears up for the cricket season, Mondelez India’s iconic brand, Cadbury Dairy Milk has partnered with Mumbai Indians, as their official Goodness Partner to spread the message of acknowledging the unacknowledged with the “#SayThankYou” initiative.  As part of this initiative, the brand will double the total runs scored in all Mumbai Indians matches to provide health insurance for daily wage earners through its NGO partner Nirmana.

Commenting on the partnership, Anil Viswanathan, senior director, marketing (chocolates), insights & analytics, Mondelez India, said, “As an optimistic and progressive brand Cadbury Dairy Milk has always believed that a little bit of generosity can go a long way, and often, it’s the smallest gestures that have the biggest impact. This year has made us all realise the value of the people that run our cities, societies, lives and this has been the core thought behind the brand’s #SayThankYou campaign. Cricket being one of India’s biggest passions, we wanted to use the platform of T20 to inspire our consumers to “Say thank you to those who make our lives easier”. So, this season, the total runs that are scored in every Mumbai Indians match will go beyond cricket. We are very excited to have one of the country’s favourite team, joining us in this journey of acknowledging the unacknowledged and expressing gratitude to those who are working behind the scenes to make the team and its players a success on the field.

The company has been working to acknowledge the unacknowledged by sponsoring health insurance, a critical need for unorganised labour and daily wage earners, through Nirmana. This is a continuation of the generosity journey where recently it has committed part proceeds of its Limited-Edition ‘Thank You’ Bar sale towards this cause supporting insurance for ~17,000 daily wagers.
