MUMBAI: vJive Networks, a strategic business unit of Digital Music India (P) Ltd, announced that Subhiksha, the recent entrant in the retail segment will deploy integrated out-of-home media solutions for their stores across India. This will be the country's single largest digital signage deployment, claims vJive.

vJive will equip each Subhiksha store with audio-visual banners that will display advertorial content to shoppers. The internet based media streaming engine will transport advertorial content in real time to digital screens across stores. Implementation for the 650 active stores will be carried out in two phases. vJive will work in conjunction with Subhiksha for additional nationwide store roll outs at a later stage.

We are extremely delighted and privileged to be associated with a highly motivated and fast growing retail chain such as Subhiksha. vJive's enhanced network will compliment Subhiksha's value driven approach."
