MUMBAI | FRIDAY, 28 FEBRUARY 2020 BRAND WORLD 17. <

T E NARASIMHANChennai, 27 February

F or the first time ever inthe history of the league,the Spanish born and

bred LaLiga has turned to some-one outside the game to furtherits brand. Where it has alwayshad an iconic footballer as itsface, a cricketer will now spreadthe word about the league andthe game. In its first India-spe-cific campaign since it set upoffice here almost four yearsago, Rohit Sharma is drummingup the buzz around the league,its mentorship programme inlocal schools and, its new broad-cast destination, Facebook.

Sharma’s large fan base andsocial media following areexpected to bring visibility andrecall. José Antonio Cachaza,managing director, LaLiga Indiasaid they chose Sharma becausehe stands for excellence, team-work, authenticity, respect,commitment and passion, asdoes the league.

It helps that Sharma is afootball fan. Speaking at thelaunch of the campaign he said,“Football in India, is in its glob-al growth trajectory and it isheartening to see that it is no more considered as the

‘sleeping giant’.”Sharma will help drive

LaLiga’s on-the ground brand-ing initiatives too. “We con-stantly organise events orlaunch different kinds of proj-ects, so this (the digital cam-paign) is just another step in ourstrategy,” Cachaza said.

He is referring to LaLigaFootball Schools, a key compo-nent of the brand’s expansionstrategy across theglobe. In manynations, the pro-gramme hashelped nurtureyoung footballers,who have lateremerged as starsfor the league.Sharma’s involvement, theLaLiga team hopes, will helpfind more schools ready to wel-come them into their fold.

The choice of an endorserfrom outside the game is not aneasy one for a football league,especially one that has hadsome of the best names on itslist. But the truth is that allsports clubs, leagues and teamsneed stars, their heft on and offthe field rests on the shouldersof the titans of the game. And inthis context, the Indian marketpresented a dilemma. While

there is a legion of football fansin the country, there is no inter-national star that could becomethe face of the league. Hence,the need to ride on the coattailsof a popular figure from a more popular sport, said several experts.

Ashish Mishra, CEO,Interbrand India, said,“(Internationally) it lost its sheenpost Ronaldo’s departure and of

late, Messi has beenout of form too. TheIndia push is anattempt to shorethings up, this is agood market andgrowing too. And(Sharma as ambas-sador) that’s confir-

mation of the market’s potential.” Sharma’s choice was further

clinched by his wide appeal onsocial media. The media-shybatsman has been a keen par-ticipant on several social plat-forms in recent years and thathas helped him find favour withmany brands. He also endorsesAdidas, Hublot watches, Rasna,Dream 11 among many others.

The campaign has beenlaunched digitally at presentand plans are to roll it out acrossmedia platforms and othercricket playing countries such

as UK, South Africa, Australiaand New Zealand. The leaguehas Santander (Spanish bank)as its title sponsor and among itsglobal partners are Puma,Rexona and Budweiser.

LaLiga has adopted anaggressive digital marketingstrategy, especially since itspartnership with Facebook. Itis offering all matches free for itsIndian audiences, bringing atop European club, Girona FC toIndia for the first time and saysit has many more plans up itssleeve. According to the league’sspokespersons, audience datahas been hugely satisfactoryand there is a high level ofengagement with fans duringFacebook broadcasts.

In four years, LaLiga’s socialmedia following has explodedtoo. From under 500,000 fol-lowers to almost five million,the company said. “LaLiga has10 million followers in theIndian subcontinent (India,Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka,Bhutan and Maldives), which isequivalent of 10 per cent of itsfollowers worldwide” andCachaza adds that by roping inSharma, “The message is clear;no matter how much you lovecricket, you can love footballand LaLiga.”

The Spanish football league turns to Rohit Sharma to kick one into the net forthe brand, build its appeal among fans and young footballers

Temasekeyes...In FY19, it posted a net profit of ~14.5 croreand its capital adequacy stood at 19.69 percent. In December 2018, its parent company,DBS Holdings, infused ~1,300 crore of capi-tal. DBS Bank India’s advances and depositsstood at ~18,108 crore and ~33,828 crore,respectively, in FY19. In May 2016, the RBIallowed foreign banks to buy 10 per cent inIndian private banks. The circular allowsforeign banks to take a higher stake in pri-vate banks in the case of restructuring of aweak bank or in the interest of consolidationin the banking sector, though subject to cer-tain conditions.

It is learnt that DBS Bank India, whichhas operations across 12 cities, is exploringthis regulatory leeway to acquire the stake inLVB and thereby expand its presence in thecountry. Apart from Temasak, Tilden Park,a US based fixed-income fund, is learnt tohave shown an interest in taking a majoritystake in LVB. The deal to acquire a control-ling stake in LVB is learnt to conclude byJune or July. Meanwhile, to augment itscapital, LVB is also looking into the processof raising ~500-600 crore of interim capitalfrom smaller private equity funds, which,according to a person closely working onthe deal, may come through in a month.“As a matter of policy, Temasek does notcomment on market speculation andrumours,” it replied by email. DBS BankIndia did not want to comment on the devel-opment, while Tilden Park did not respondto emails sent, till the time of goingto press.

China virus...It is learnt that the scheme will encompass

multiple proposals that will require Cabinetapproval, mostly from the Ministry ofElectronics and Information Technology(MEITY).

“The proposals have to be sent to theCabinet and may be approved in a fewweeks. Because of the coronavirus situation,they might look at the proposals morefavourably,” said a MEITY official. “Becauseof the coronavirus, there is an overlap andsome proposals are being discussed withthe finance ministry,” the person added.

Some details, like the outlay, are stillbeing worked out, officials said. It is likelythat the outlay of the new scheme will slight-ly exceed the allocations for those it willreplace. In MEITY’s budget, the three pro-grammes have been allocated ~980 crorefor 2020-21, compared with the 2019-20revised estimates of ~690 crore and budget-ed estimates of ~986 crore.

“I propose a scheme focused on encour-aging the manufacture of mobile phones,electronic equipment, and semi-conductorpackaging. The details would be announcedlater,” Sitharaman had said in the Budget.

In their meetings with Sitharaman lastweek, representatives of a number of sectorsspoke about the need for India to build man-ufacturing capacity long-term for goods,raw materials, components and activepharmaceutical ingredients, for which theynow have a huge dependence on China.

Earlier this month, at a post-Budgetmedia interaction, Sitharaman had said 10-12 companies, among those searching foralternatives to China, had spoken to the gov-ernment. “I feel their expectations from usare quite realistic and reasonable,” she hadsaid. It is learnt that these talks are beingheld by multiple government departments,

including the finance ministry,commerce ministry, NITI Aayogand MEITY.

The MSIPS ran between 2012and 2018, and promised multipleincentives for 10 years, including acapital subsidy of 20 per cent inspecial economic zones (SEZs) and25 per cent in non-SEZs, and reim-bursements of countervailing dutyor excise on capital equipment fornon-SEZ units. For some high-capital projects, it also offeredreimbursements of central taxesand duties. Industry has been ask-ing for an extension of the scheme.

The EDF was set up as a fund offunds to encourage research anddevelopment in areas like elec-tronics, IT and nano-electronicsto promote a component manu-facturing ecosystem in the coun-try that will go beyond makingmobile phones.

The Electronics ManufacturingClusters (EMC) scheme was noti-fied in 2012 to provide support forcreating infrastructure to attractinvestment in the ElectronicsSystems Design andManufacturing (ESDM) sector.

The new scheme is expected toinclude features and sops from theschemes it will replace. MEITYMinister Ravi Shankar Prasad hassaid time and again a big focus of

the government is to make India a big exporthub for electronics.

The National Policy on Electronics,approved by the Cabinet last February, hada provision for “attractive package of incen-tives for promoting export of electronicsgoods, thereby empowering the exporters byfacilitating global market access”.

Individuals lead...These families joined Giving Pledge, acommitment made by billionaires glob-ally to donate a major part of their wealthto philanthropic causes. Individual givinghas also become participative, throughthe Daan Utsav or the Joy of Giving Week,held in October every year, which engages7 million Indians in philanthropy, thereport states.

Dinkar Ayilavarapu, partner Bain &Company, says, “There has been a quan-tum growth in domestic philanthropic fund-ing, with private giving leading the way. Yetthere is a wide spectrum of vulnerabilitiesleft unaddressed, driven in good measure bythe systematic inequities and aggregation ofproblems that keep India’s most vulnerableoutside the mainstream development.”

The report highlights certain areas ofconcern. One, the geographical concentra-tion of philanthropic funding is not linked topoverty incidence or other indicators of vul-nerability. For instance, Maharashtra hasgrabbed 34 per cent of the state-wise shareof philanthropic investment even thoughits poverty rate is 17.35 per cent. In strikingcontrast, Jharkhand gets less than 1 per centshare of philanthropic investment thoughits poverty rate is 36.96 per cent.

Two, there seems to be no correlationbetween the use of funds and high-needinvestment areas. For instance, health andeducation account for 55 per cent of domes-tic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)funding. Yet gender equality gets a mere 1per cent of the total funds — despite thefact that the country scores very low on gen-der equality. Similarly, education gets one-third of the resources despite the country’sstrong score in quality education in the sus-tainable development goal. The report alsopoints out that an immediate investment of~11,000 crore is needed to enable India’s 120million adolescent girls to complete theirsecondary education.

Three, the philanthropic contributionfrom companies has seen a substantial slow-down. In 2018, for instance, they contributedonly ~12,000 crore, growing at a CAGR of 12per cent from 2010, which is much lowerthan the overall growth of philanthropicfunding (15 per cent) and individual contri-bution, which has grown by 21 per cent.

Deval Sanghavi, co-founder of Dasra, astrategic philanthropic organisation whichworked on the report with Bain, says: "Whilethe media has put a greater focus on CSR,one must recognise that this will remain atonly 2 per cent of profits, whereas individualgiving can be up to 99 per cent of someone'snet worth. For example, Azim Premji hascommitted $21 billion to philanthropy,which will be far greater than what Wiprocan donate to the sector."
