Contributed By AMAN OBEROI


It's not just about cooling anymore. Most Air Conditioning brands are having to sweat it out in order to differentiate themselves from the rest.The basic function of cooling simply isn't enough for these brands to sell.
Carrier still focusses on their core competency of Even Cooling , Just like in the Office.


On the other hand we have Voltas which focuses on Sensible cooling, and reduced power bills. A very TATA way of going about things - solid and sensible products for the value conscious and discerning Indian customer. They have continued their concept of using Kids to showcase the fact that even kids know that Voltas provides Sensible Cooling techniques.The latest series of commercials have kids using Nursery Rhymes such as Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty etc. to drive home the point of reduced power bills.
