At a time when it's crucial to practice social distancing in addition to hand hygiene, Namaste is the warmest and best way to greet one another. With this brand film, we wish to highlight Namaste, the beautiful Indian custom of greeting, that has become more relevant today.”

 

Sumanto Chattopadhyay, chairman and CCO, 82.5 Communications, said, “The Namaste is such a beautiful yet practical gesture with so many layers of meaning.
