Porter boosts brand awareness with Let’s Influence through innovative marketing campaign
Mumbai: Porter, the tech-enabled premier logistics company, with its ambition of ‘moving a billion dreams, one delivery at a time,’ announces the successful culmination of an influencer campaign in partnership with Let’s Influence. The campaign was initially rolled out in Chandigarh before expanding its reach to PAN India and was strategically designed to enhance Porter’s visibility and emphasize its comprehensive range of services, including both Two-Wheeler deliveries and Porter Packers and Movers services.
The campaign’s execution unfolded in nine distinct phases, each meticulously analyzed to gauge effectiveness and impact. The most notable success witnessed during the two topical events were: the wedding campaign and the World Cup campaign. Both saw the highest engagement levels, demonstrating the potent synergy between timely, relevant content and audience interests
Utilizing a carefully planned strategy, the campaign targeted specific creator genres such as relatable comedy, voxpop, and couple creators to seamlessly integrate Porter’s services into everyday scenarios. Special emphasis was placed on leveraging festivals and weddings, showcasing Porter’s invaluable utility during these significant events, thus, resonating deeply with the audience.
Reflecting on the campaigns, Mohit Rathi, vice-president of customer growth & engagement, shared, “It’s crucial for brands to choose influencers who truly align with their brand values and are able to generate the right impact, rather than merely seeking fame. At Porter, our aim has been to always ensure the right creator is on board and the results are delivered across campaigns. Our collaboration with Let’s Influence delivered on the brand’s commitment to service and relevance, marking a significant milestone in our journey.”
Let’s Influence founder & CEO Bhawna Sethi shared her enthusiasm, stating, “This campaign with Porter exemplifies the essence of impactful influencer marketing.

Abhay Duggal joins JioStar as director of Hindi GEC ad sales
The streaming giant brings in a seasoned revenue hand as the battle for Hindi television advertising heats up
MUMBAI: Abhay Duggal has a new desk, and JioStar has a new weapon. The media and entertainment veteran has joined JioStar as director of entertainment ad sales for Hindi general entertainment channels, adding 17 years of hard-won revenue experience to one of India’s most powerful broadcasting operations.
Duggal is no stranger to big portfolios or bruising markets. Before joining JioStar, he spent a brief stint at Republic World as deputy general manager and north regional head for ad sales. Before that, he put in three years at Enterr10 Television, where he ran the north region for Dangal TV and Dangal 2, two of India’s leading free-to-air Hindi channels. The north alone accounted for more than 50 per cent of total channel revenue on his watch, a number that tends to get attention in any sales meeting.
His longest stint was at Zee Entertainment Enterprises, where he spent over six years rising to associate director of sales. There he commanded the Hindi movies cluster across seven channels, owned more than half of north India’s revenue across flagship properties including Zee TV and &TV, and closed marquee sponsorships across the Indian Premier League, Zee Rishtey Awards and Dance India Dance. He also handled monetisation for the English movies and entertainment cluster and the global news channel WION, a portfolio that would stretch most sales teams twice his size.
Earlier in his career Duggal closed what was then a Rs 3 crore single deal at Reliance Broadcast Network, one of the largest in Indian radio at the time, before that he helped launch and monetise JAINHITS, India’s first HITS-based cable and satellite platform.
His edge, by his own account, lies in marrying data and instinct: translating audience trends, inventory signals and client demands into long-term partnerships built on cost-per-rating-point discipline rather than short-term deal chasing. In a media landscape being reshaped by streaming, fragmented attention and AI-driven advertising, that kind of rigour is increasingly rare and increasingly valuable.
JioStar, which blends the scale of Reliance’s Jio platform with the content firepower of Star, is doubling down on its advertising business at precisely the moment the Hindi GEC market is getting more competitive. Bringing in someone who has spent nearly two decades doing exactly this, across some of India’s most watched channels, is a pointed statement of intent. Duggal has spent his career turning audiences into revenue. JioStar is clearly betting he can do it again, and bigger.
