Nissan's iconic brand Datsun India, which launched 'Go' two years back, is back with another vehicle 'redi-Go' as India's first urban cross vehicle. The campaign, 'Ready India,' conceptualised by TBWA India, will be aimed at inspiring young risers to stimulate change in their world by looking at it from a new perspective.

The digital film shows different set of groups in various situations. The young risers are always seen on the go. Some are running out of office to get into the vehicle, while another one is picked up from a fabric store. All these groups or friends eventually go to a huge ground where all other Datsun redi-Go youngsters are present. Lively music is played in the background throughout the film. The film ends with a voice in the background which says, 'Presenting Datsun redi-Go, for the ready-to-go generation.

The new television commercial is aimed at connecting with young Indians through its lively music and catchy lyrics. Leading artists from Bollywood contributed to the creation of the campaign. Popular music director Ram Sampath has composed the music for the commercial while Sona Mohapatra lent her voice for the campaign.

Speaking on the launch, Arun Malhotra, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India, said, “With the launch of the Datsun redi-Go, we are striving to redefine the entry-level car segment in India. To reinforce redi-Go's positioning in the marketplace, we are today announcing the launch of the 'Ready India' campaign. The focus of this campaign is to directly connect with the brand's target audience -- the young risers.”
