“We are pulling out all the stops for World Cup 2023 and are truly excited about the ‘Super Saver Match Days’ campaign. We plan to invest worth 50 crore in various offers, including discounts to cricket fans on food delivery. We will scale it up to 100 crore depending on the demand to make this event a feast for the fans,” PTI quoted magicpin CEO and Co-founder Anshoo Sharma as saying.
