Meraj goes back in time to discuss the launch of DTH with Tata Sky in India. Tata Sky was positioned as a never before viewing experience, a 10 X entertainment. The teaser showed everything that one has been using for entertainment being thrown out of the houses. Since they will not need it. So that’s what Tata Sky was meant to do for your life, something mysterious and something which is 10 X entertainment..…and of course can only be understood after an experience of it.This was expressed creatively through the line 'Isko laga dala to life jinga lala' 
He also discusses the launch of Reliance Jio and how Jio came into the picture with a huge vision. Mukesh Bhai (Mukesh Ambani). always believes that what is good for India is good for our business too. So when the logo was asked to include ‘digital life’ it completed the thought. ‘jio’ being ‘growth’. This is how Reliance group’s commitment to growth gets played out. We know how data is the oil lubricating the wheels of the new economy. Internet is like fire. When fire was discovered and how it drove progress; the same way data is feeling our progress today. 
He also talks about launching Airtel in Sri Lanka. He talks about his month long immersion in Sri Lanka market to prepare for the launch. Sri Lanka is a very polite country and quite talkative as well. But when it came to using mobiles they used it like perfume and sprays. Sri Lankans are very proud of their heritage, their nature. They are awed by Bollywood. So the launch ad combined all these aspects- what they are proud of and what they aspire for. Shahrukh’s coming in and saying Hello Sri Lanka was a way to ride on Lankan fascination for Bollywood. Further the Airtel Indian tune (which is A.R. Rahman composition) was re-recorded through Sri Lankan folk instrument and the effect was mesmerising.
