All secondary research showed that gaming was becoming popular and our consumer research highlighted the fact that building an interactive platform for the end consumers had positive impact on the brand. Hence, we decided to integrate with the most popular show on the TV – KBC (Indian version of Who wants to be a millionaire) and added the "gamification", "real time playing" and "digital platform" to the campaign.

From consumer immersion, we realized that everyone watching game always thought they were a better player than the person on the hot seat, and that worked as a key hook to anchor this platform. Many Indians aspired to be on the KBC hot seat but only lucky ones got an opportunity to play on the Hot Seat with Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. Therefore, Jio-KBC was born enhancing interactivity and virality component in the brand communication, and also made it accessible to everyone.

The audience could play this game on their smartphones while the program was telecasted for the whole season comprising of around 50 episodes. Backend integration was done sophistically enough to ensure uninterrupted gaming experience was offered to people playing on mobile.

Two way video chat lifeline was offered for the first time anywhere in the world. Jio hot seat and an express pass and exclusive weeks for winners to play with popular Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan. Every mobile player got additional free data and gift vouchers from Jio's associate brands

Additionally, an exclusivity was also built to create a special bond with current Jio users.
