Commenting on the launch, N. Chandramouli, CEO, TRA, said “Without trust, the entire engagement of a brand becomes ineffectual. The trust a brand generates is basis of all transactions that consumers have with the brand. The act of trust involves a voluntary transfer of resources – emotional, physical, financial or material – with no immediately visible, tangible or quantifiable commitment back to the trustor or consumer. Therefore the onus of building the trust-bond rests completely with the brand.”
