Headline: Jaasthi Coverage
Brand: Spice Telecom
Baseline: Spice hain toh life hain
The current Spice Telecom hoardings speaks to you in three languages on a single piece of communication – without causing any confusion. Our city, Bangalore is a melting pot of different cultures, like Mumbai or Hyderabad. Mumbai may even be the city that has the most newspapers in different languages, but when it comes to the number of languages that the common citizen can understand, we Bangaloreans are No 1. If you ask for directions, you are most likely to get a reply in the language you speak here in Bangalore.

So how many languages do you know/speak?

I know English, Kannada, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil and I can understand Telugu and Marathi.

You?
