As the head of the marketing team, my objective is to ensure LooCafe is glued into streets—with love, without conflicts—bad toilets, vendors, streets etc.
We’re a public utility that’s a game changer in urban sanitation and to connect with our community further we started a Regional language based radio messaging system that promotes LooCafes - this is soon to be released in the form of a video series; and will be used as promotional material for various organizations such as: The Telangana State Government (GHMC), Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation India, Swacch Bharat Mission and more!
Through our associations with various global organizations such as the British Council, King's College London, Jane Withers & Global Design Studios, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Dubai Expo.
Featured here, we have a visitor from EOOS Next—a design team that has worked with the BMGF to Reinvent the Toilet Challenge and Athena Infomanics.
