IPL 2022: Greenply joins hands with LSG as associate partner
Mumbai: Ahead of the first match to be played for the much anticipated Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, interior infrastructure company Greenply Industries has announced its association with the newly minted franchise of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) as its associate partner.
With this association, the company aims to focus on strategic investments for the Uttar Pradesh market to expand its business operations.
Aligned to the association, the players and official members of LSG team will be sporting the Greenply logo on the right-side chest of their official match day jersey. The logo will also be prominently visible during the on-ground matches of the franchise. The association will also be amplified across digital and social media platforms which will run through the entire duration of the tournament, said the statement.
“There has been a dynamic shift in the consumer pattern towards the branded products and hence we see a lot of growth potential in the Uttar Pradesh market,” remarked Greenply Industries Ltd chairman cum managing director Rajesh Mittal. “Our three new manufacturing units will cater to serve the growing demand for plywood and allied products in this market and will cumulatively help us to grow our business operations nationally. Uttar Pradesh is an ideal investment destination for us as this market even in the current scenario is the third largest value contributor towards our business.”
“We are delighted to be entering into a long term partnership with an esteemed brand like Greenply. We appreciate their trust in a new franchise and we are confident that this will be a very successful association for both brands,” commented Lucknow Super Giants CEO Raghu Iyer.
Uttar Pradesh serves as the second largest plywood market as per value. Since Uttar Pradesh is a growing market, Greenply is expanding its plywood and allied products capacity by investing ~Rs 200 crore in the state, according to the company.
The company is setting up a manufacturing unit at Sandila Industrial Area in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh which will be its manufacturing; one unit in Hapur and two units in Bareilly through partnership, it said.
“Uttar Pradesh is a key market for us, and we hope this association creates a significant positive impact amongst our target consumers,” stated Greenply Industries Ltd joint managing director & CEO Manoj Tulsian. “India is a cricket frenzy nation, and this partnership will help us to build a high brand recall and reach amongst our target audience. We look forward to a very successful season for both the brands.”

EcoMedia Solutions launches EcoMeter to track carbon impact in media
New tool aims to bring real data and accountability to ads and events
GURUGRAM: EcoMedia Solutions has rolled out EcoMeter, a new solution designed to bring sharper carbon accountability to advertising, media, marketing and events.
Built on its proprietary EMS platform, EcoMeter aims to help brands and agencies measure the environmental impact of campaigns and on-ground activations using real-world data rather than broad estimates.
The move comes as sustainability gains traction across boardrooms, even as measurement within the advertising ecosystem remains patchy and often reliant on spend-based assumptions. EcoMeter attempts to change that by using localised emission factors and activity-based inputs, offering a more grounded view of carbon output.
“Today, most carbon calculations in our industry are derived from spends or broad averages. That does not reflect what is actually happening on the ground,” said EcoMedia Solutions founder & CEO Rumjhum Gupta. She added that the tool factors in variables such as location, execution and materials to deliver a more accurate picture.
The platform allows users to compare media choices based on environmental impact, plan lower-carbon campaigns and generate data-backed ESG and BRSR reports. It spans formats including OOH, DOOH, print, digital and live events, bringing sustainability into the same decision-making framework as cost and performance.
EcoMedia Solutions says the larger goal is to move the industry beyond surface-level sustainability claims towards measurable action. As scrutiny from consumers, investors and regulators intensifies, tools like EcoMeter could play a key role in helping brands back intent with credible data.
With this launch, the company is betting that the next big metric in advertising will not just be reach or ROI, but impact that can be counted in carbon.
