This cause has grown into a movement with participation of parents, kids and the younger generation. We are happy to see theimmense support for this initiative in all 8 cities and proud of mobilizing over 30,000 woolen clothes.”

Renowned celebrity Tisca Chopra who was also present at the event said, “It is great to see corporates like Godrej spreading smiles across the country through initiatives like Ezee’s ‘Raahat, Ek Abhiyaan’. They have not only built a socially benefitting initiative but also embedded it with the touching thought of spreading ‘Warm Hugs’. I am honoured to be a part of it and I hope that more corporates come up with programs like these and help in making this country a better place to live in.”

To add to the sense of warmth and comfort, Ezee has also made a touching web video that makes one cherish the warm and caring moments of life. It illustrates that everyone needs a warm hug and so does a poor child in the harsh winters. The video urges people to donate woolens and help poor kids brave the winter.The video has received over 2.7 million views. A print campaign was run across Delhi, Gurgaon, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, Amritsar, Lucknow and Kanpur, to create awareness of this initiative. Other than print, a mix (approximately60-80 spots a day, in Delhi and Lucknow), digital (social media and mobile marketing) as well as BTL (52 schools of Delhi NCR joined this movement).
