Apart from traditional products, in the last few years we have signed some unconventional deals for Chhota Bheem for Influenza vaccines, coming on Debit cards of ICICI bank, and also being the brand ambassador for Chhattisgarh Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan. On the programming front, the infant avatar of Bheem, Mighty Little Bheem with Netflix, has been a resounding success globally. We’re now working on its licensing and merchandising. Soon you will find some exciting Mighty Little Bheem merchandise for zero to two-year-old kids in the market.
