master.chef the program
DESCRIPTION
IFB Spice Secrets Master.Chef is a first-of-its-kind initiative by an appliance brand. The nationwide competition travelled the length and breadth of the country, in a bid to find India's first microwave Master.Chef. IFB builds its products and services around it’s brand promise of Set Yourself Free. Our customers are people who genuinely believe in this ethos. Which is why we decided to make them our veritable brand ambassadors. From exhilaration to exasperation, this program captured the entire gamut of emotions the participants went through and of course, an exciting array of dishes at the end of each Master.Chef round. The after sales of Microwaves were exemplary.TRANSCRIPT
