And what better than using World Backup Day as an occasion to share this message with the consumers. Last year, we launched the ‘Back-Up NahiTohPackup’ campaign, the whooping success of which inspired us to launch #BackUpAndStaySafethis year, in order to help the consumer understand the importance of backing up their data. As every piece of data is a priceless asset we possess, it is imperative that saving these becomes a natural habit for us.”
