Discussion Vodafone might exit India

[iDJ]

It's Hutch that gave us the dog bro. Vodafone just continued using pugs for ads. I still remember the you and I in this beautiful world ad from Hutch. One of the best ads ever.

You and I was the default ringtone too on my first Sagem handset back in 2005.

In 2000s every telecom had awesome theme. Now that's Jio's dhan dhana dhan is my pet peeve.

Yeah they had many short ads too. Vodafone continued the trend and they had some real good ads as well. Will miss them if they do decide to end their operations here.

Vodafone had more ZooZoos ads than Pugs ads.

Regarding why I gave an Angry reaction to your post, I do not think it is appropriate for an American company to suddenly enter a new market. Verizon is unknown outside the US, unlike AT&T which is known as the owner of WarnerMedia, a global media company.

Also, Axiata of Malaysia is a minority owner in Vodafone-Idea. It might exit as well.

At&t already exit in India... It wlll not relaunch in india...

The Pug dates back to 2003 while the ZooZoos were introduced in IPL 2 in 2009 and stayed well after Vodafone was replaced by AmbaniCom as a sponsor of the IPL. However the Pug has been reintroduced briefly in the past few years.

AT&T the telecom company never had a presence in India AFAIK.

AT&T used to operate during the days of BPL mobile. Later on it transitioned into "Tata, Birla, AT&T Idea"!
