Robi organises special celebration programme for Tigers

Robi has organised a special programme - "The Red Wave-Cheers for BD Cricket Team" to show support for the National Cricket Team as the World Cup tournament gets underway. Under the ongoing campaign- "Jani Bangladesh, Parbe Tumio", this special celebration program was organised to spread the winning attitude of the Tigers among everyone in the society. 

Starting from Robi Corporate Office in Gulshan-1 to Gulshan-2, both sides of the road were decorated as part of "The Red Wave-Cheers for BD Cricket Team" celebration program. Alongside Robi employees, people on the street also joined in the celebration at eight spots in the Gulshan Avenue. A similar event was organised at Chattogram CRB area with the participation of common people and Robi employees.

Daylong exciting flash mob performances will be held in these spots and people on the street will be allowed to write their best wishes for the Tigers on a specially made graffiti wall. This graffiti wall will then be on display for a week to garner emotion of the cricket loving people of the country.

All Robi employees, including the CEO and the whole senior management expressed their support and encouragement for the Tigers through this initiative. 

Robi's CEO, Rajeev Sethi said: "This celebration indicates our strong commitment to back our Tigers in the world cup tournament. We feel proud to have been able to stand by our cricketing heroes through this celebration today."

Robi's association with cricket goes back a long way. The company had been the sponsor of the National Cricket team for several years (2015- 2017). Besides, through organising the Fast Bowler Hunt contest, Robi had helped to find the celebrated fast bowler, Ebadot, who plays for the national team now.
