Prime time RJ’s from RED FM were present at the lit fest! RJ Kavya, RJ Ravinder & RJ Ankush from Jaipur station along with Delhi’s no. 1 RJ Raunaq and RJ Sachin plugged in daily live updates from the lit fest on airby virtue of getting access to exclusive interviews with delegates like Gulzar, Amish, Javed Akhtar, Karan Johar, Barkha Dutt, Anupam Kher, Jairam Ramesh, Barkha Dutt, Baichung Bhutia, Anupam Kher, Anil Kumble, Meera Sayal, Anuja Chauhan, etc.

Commenting on the association, RED FM COO Nisha Narayanan said, “This is a big feather on our cap! The team has done a great work in cracking this association! Jaipur Literature Festival has over the last few years become the most celebrated and talked about literature festival in this part of the world. An association of this level definitely has a good rub off on the brand RED. At the same time it goes well with our imagery of a thinker and doer brand. A large number of footfalls in the festival are by the youth which will further help us engage with our core TG strongly both in social media as well on-ground.”
