F1 World Champ Damon Hill to be event ambassador for Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2014
Mumbai, January 7, 2014: The 11th edition of the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon, to be run on January 19, 2014 will be graced by F1 World Champion Damon Hill. Promoters Procam International today announced Great Britain’s Damon Hill, 1996 World Champion and Michael Schumacher’s main rival for the Formula One Drivers’ Championship during the mid-90s as the International Event Ambassador of USD 360,000 prize money Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon.
Damon Hill, son of late Graham Hill, and the only son of a World Champion to win the title, has had 122 Grand Prix entries, 22 Grand Prix wins, 42 Podiums, 20 Pole positions and 19 Fastest laps in his F1 racing career.
Damon Graham Devereux Hill was born on September 17, 1960, two years before his father Graham won his first driver’s title, the second coming in 1968.
The death of his father in a plane crash in 1975 left the 15-year-old in drastically reduced circumstances and Damon worked as a labourer and motorcycle courier to support his further education.
Hill started his Grand Prix career during the 1991 season as a test driver with the championship-winning Williams team while still competing in the F3000 series.
In 1996 the Williams car was clearly the quickest in Formula One and Hill went on to win the title ahead of his rookie teammate Jacques Villeneuve, becoming the only son of a Formula One champion to win the championship himself. Taking eight wins and never qualifying off the front row, Hill enjoyed by far his most successful season. At Monaco, where his father had won five times in the 1960s, he led until his engine failed, curtailing his race and allowing Olivier Panis to take his only Formula One win. Near the end of the season, Villeneuve began to mount a title challenge and took pole in the Japanese Grand Prix, the final race of the year. However, Hill took the lead at the start and won both the race and the championship after the Canadian retired.
Hill equalled the record for starting all 16 races of the season from the front row, matching Ayrton Senna in 1989 and Alain Prost in 1993. Sebastian Vettel holds the record for the highest number of front row starts in a season, with 18 in 2011.
Damon Hill will be in Mumbai from Thursday, January 16 till event day and hopes to inspire the younger generation of Indian sportsmen to work hard for glory. Overcoming adversities from early in life, Damon Hill climbed the pinnacle of success, following up his exploits on the F1 tack with sound business acumen.
When Williams made Damon Hill a Formula One driver, despite his undistinguished racing record, Frank Williams said it was because he was “a tough bastard” and he admired his “fierce inner determination.”
During his visit to Mumbai Haile will meet with the sponsors and partners, the elite athletes, encourage the amateur athletes and later on spread the message worldwide about the event and the running movement in the country.
Damon Hill’s association with the event is in line with Procam International’s efforts to bring to India some the world’s most accomplished sportsmen to raise the profile of the sport of distance running. Some of the luminaries who have been event ambassadors in the past include names like haile Gebrselassie, Michael Johnson, Mike Powell, Linford Christie, Paul Tergat, Steve Ovett, Gail Devers, Dame Kelly Holmes, Dan O’Brien, Cathy Freeman, Kapil Dev and Vijay Amritraj to name a few.

The donation, therefore, is not asking a user for funds, but simply that s/he changes/donates or subscribes to a caller tune with a health related message O.
One can easily download the message of a favourite celebrity and use it as a caller tune on one’s own mobile handset. Instead of a conventional dial tone or popular music track, a person who calls, hears a prominent celebrity’s voice exhorting him or her to make one small lifestyle change to live a healthy and happy life.
Speaking about ideation of this campaign, Mr. Piyush Gupta, Creative Director, Leo Burnett India, said, “Our idea was to reach out to the urban Indians with creative messages for adopting a healthy lifestyle. On an average a person receives at least 15 phone calls a day, making the space of caller tune an untapped area for promoting welfare causes. It was important that we tapped this innovative medium, and this was made possible by WHO India by adopting this idea. Also Bollywood celebrities have proven to be the best ambassador for various causes, hence involvement of A-list celebrities also add a lot of value to the campaign”.
The initiative has been supported by Carmine Communications (PR partners).
In the next phase of the initiative, the celebrities and the causes they have supported are: Amitabh Bachchan (High Blood Pressure), Jaya Bachchan (Breast and Cervical cancer), Akshay Kumar (Unhealthy food), Ranveer Singh (Fitness), R Madhavan (Diabetes), John Abraham (Obesity), Shankar Mahadevan (Stroke), Shaan (anti-tobacco), Cyrus Broacha (Stress) and Parineeti Chopra (Cardiovascular disease). .

International wine brands are making a beeline into India to tap the ever growing wine drinking market which stands at 1.2 million cases per annum growing at a sound 25-30% according to JBC International. With over a 100 million people crossing the legal age of 25 for consuming alcohol over the next 5 years, supermarkets supporting wine distribution infrastructure, a growing tourism industry and rising disposal income, India as a market offers immense potential for wine makers of every stripe.
“A German wine label is a daunting testimony to that nation’s love of detail and organization” – Sir Kingsley William Amis.
German wines which have the characteristic of being fruit driven with lower alcohol content compared to the wines from other traditional wine making countries are very low in tannins, making them suitable to be paired with spicy Indian food and boding bright business prospects in a fast growing market like India.
By attending the 10th “Stuttgart meets Mumbai” Wine Festival, you’d not just get to sample some of the finest wines made from grape varieties Trollinger and Lemberger that are unique to the region of Baden-Wurttemberg of South west Germany; but also an opportunity to interview the owners of leading wine brands such as Weingut Unser, Weingut Heinrich, Weingut Schnaitmann, Weingut Berthold, Staatsweingut Weinsberg and Weingut der Stadt Stuttgart to get insights into their business plans for India. Mr. Raulf Hauser of State Research Institute for Viticulture & Pomiculture would also be happy to offer his expertise into the uniqueness of the wines on display.
We, on behalf of the LAPP Group which has been acting as a catalyst to forge trade relations between India and Germany, look forward to hosting you. Do feel free to reach out to us to secure further information about this engagement oriented event. We’d be happy to be of help.

He has proved in the past that his star power is enough to set the cash counters jingling. Although with Ready he finally jumped on the bandwagon and started to promote his films, the actor still believes that hugely expensive exercises are no guarantee for a box-office hit.
According to a source, last week he spoke to Eros International, the presenters of his upcoming film Jai Ho, and requested them to revise the publicity budget. “The amount allocated was Rs 16 crore, but Salman told Sunil Lulla (the head honcho of the production house) that the upper limit for promotions should be no more than Rs 6 crore. He wants the rest of the money to be distributed among the poor and needy while on city tours,” said the source.
Lulla though flabbergasted by these unusual demands, couldn’t refuse Salman. Last heard, his company was reworking the modalities. An Eros spokesperson confirmed the news and said, “Yes, Salman and Eros have discussed the matter. Salman wants the film to reach out to as many people as possible. A part of the film’s promotional budget has now been allocated to charitable organisations.”
