Muthar Basha, COO, Indo National, added, “Much like Nippo, Underdog has been a quiet performer in the world of brand communication with a rich and diverse experience that straddles across categories. Their work inspires confidence and we are sure we will be able to create many memorable campaigns together.”

We have multiple touchpoints to think about, from carrying forward the vibrant, new packaging to thinking about every aspect of the communication strategy from films to dealer engagement. And we cannot wait to start.”
 
Vistasp Hodiwalla, co-founder and chief creative officer, Underdog, added, “It’s rare these days to get an opportunity to work on a legacy brand such as Nippo which is so determined to reinvent itself for the evolving age. There can’t be a better instance for all of us at Underdog to showcase our strengths and ideation capabilities. How can we not look forward to creating something that’s truly enduring?”
