Jyoti Bansal, CEO of PHD India, said of the partnership, “In the spirit of finding a better way for ŠKODA to build deeper engagement with its customers, present and potential, PHD identified ‘Pursuits’ – great stories of people who are ‘driven’ in different ways to realise their true potential. The premise is so fitting to what ŠKODA stands for and we are looking forward to creating a property which will set new standards.”

Speaking about the launch of Pursuits, Mr. Anil Uniyal, CEO at Bloomberg|Quint said, “We are elated to bring to India an all new storytelling experience with ‘Pursuits’. The series, much like our partner ŠKODA is all about standing out, setting new standards, and raising the bar for excellence. The idea behind ‘Pursuits’ resonated with common values shared by all partners, and we look forward to the success of the show.”

Tarun Jha, Head of Marketing & Product, ŠKODA Auto India Pvt. Ltd. said, “Storytelling is a part of ŠKODA’s global communication strategy.

‘Pursuits by ŠKODA’ promises to be a personal account of individuals that goes beyond the basic information available about a person on the internet, and will engage with the audience to highlight what makes these people who they are, what shapes them and how their minds work.
