“Bindass has always evolved with the youth by trying to cater to their aspirations and being their friend. The dynamic nature of their entertainment needs and consumption patterns pushed us to think of a concept that has the potential to not only entertain the digital audiences, but will also reach out to the television viewers,” said Nikhil Gandhi, VP and Head - Revenue, Media Networks, Disney India.

Speaking of the brand partnerships, he said, “We are thrilled to partner with three of the biggest brands, namely Facebook, eBay and Castrol Activ to present this series. eBay and Castrol Activ will have a significant presence in the show, beyond just product placement.
