Ola, one of the world’s largest ride-hailing platforms, in its efforts to prevent drunken driving, had launched the 2018 edition of its flagship #PeekeMatChala campaign in December 2018, especially for the New Year’s Eve.
It was the third consecutive year after the initiative was launched in 2016 that Ola went ahead with the campaign to make the roads safer through a social media campaign amplified with a series of awareness and on-ground activation drives at airports and malls across India aimed at urging patrons to take a pledge to abstain from drinking and driving and party responsibly.
Now, 2019 is here and India welcomed the New Year in style, with #PeekeMatChala campaign playing a considerable role.
