The participants gave voice to various themes ranging from child abuse, women empowerment, women’s safety and many more, with the decoration of their cars and wearing creative costumes.

Four teams from BPCL promoted ‘UFill’ a digital customer experience that delivers BPCL’s promise of ensuring that our customers have complete control over Time, Technology, and Transparency as part of their fuelling experience.
