Now, with the help of Strepsils he is able to give his wisdom a voice. Montu also plays the role of a facilitator by providing subjects that the TA can discuss/ raise their opinion.

The main aim of #AbMontuBolega campaign is to “Speak your Heart out! Khol Ke Bolo”. It urges an emotion within a user, a marketing strategy that effectively captures a social user’s attention.
