Grit, Style and Success and that's what the youth stand for.
The youth today exist in an environment of Fragile
Invincibility which is comprised of hyper competition across
numerous opportunities in a country like India. Yet they are
able to overcome the environment and succeed due to a
constant spirit of 'Can do'. The new brand campaign of
Bindass depicts this 'Rest Less Do More' attitude. The
Bindass young changemakers conclave was a great opportunity
for the youngsters to connect and share their thoughts with
eminent personalities on a common platform."
