MakeMyTrip & Ministry of Tourism launch ‘India: The Homecoming’ campaign
Mumbai: Millions of people of Indian origin living worldwide often feel a deep sense of pride and nostalgia on special occasions like Independence Day. To honor this connection, MakeMyTrip, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, has launched a campaign for India’s 78th Independence Day, titled ‘India: The Homecoming.’
The campaign features an online film narrated by the legendary Gulzar Saab, showcasing India’s transformation. The film’s central message is: “कितना हुआ है इन दिनों बदलाओ तो देखो, तुम अपने घर में लौट कर आओ तो देखो” (kitna hua hai inn dino badlav toh dekho, tum apne ghar mein laut kar aao toh dekho).
Highlighting the importance of the campaign, minister of tourism & culture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said, “In our efforts to enable Indian diaspora become Incredible India Ambassadors through the Chalo India initiative, the call to encourage Indian diaspora to rediscover their homeland and experience a transformed India, is paramount. This Independence Day, we call upon Indian diaspora across the globe to take a trip back home, and experience Incredible India in all its richness, not just for themselves – but for everyone whom Incredible India awaits.”
MakeMyTrip co-founder & group CEO Rajesh Magow said, “We are thrilled to launch the ‘India: The Homecoming’ campaign, aimed at inviting the Indian diaspora to rediscover a transformed India. By highlighting the progress, beauty, diversity, and rich heritage, we aim to inspire a sense of pride and nostalgia, encouraging the global community to visit and explore the nation. This initiative is about celebrating the unbreakable bond that every Indian, no matter where they are in the world, shares with their homeland.”
Building on the recent announcement of MakeMyTrip’s global accessibility, which now allows travellers worldwide to engage with the platform seamlessly, this campaign also extends the legacy of last year’s successful Independence Day initiative, ‘The Traveler’s Map of India.’ This initiative highlighted over 600 hidden travel destinations across the country, promoting domestic tourism and uncovering the nation’s hidden gems.
