What? Wheels of Wander by Maruti Suzuki Alto and Outlook Traveller 

When? December 23, 2017 to March 6, 2018

Highlights: Different target groups of Maruti Suzuki Alto are brought on board to self-drive the car along 6 exciting routes in India, for 4-day journeys.

A set of wheels can give you wings. Figuratively, of course. The appeal of a first car trumps any measure of success in your life in the times to come. Many people in India can relate to the time when they got their hands on the wheel and took their first car for a spin. The Maruti Suzuki Alto embodies that same vibe – the rush of excitement, a feeling of liberation and a knowingness that this car will feature in many memories from this period of life. And what better way to build this repository of good times, than to make your favourite people a part of some of these memories. 

The Maruti Suzuki Alto and Outlook Traveller join hands to help 6 sets of the car’s target audience to experience this thrill and marry it with the wonderful cultural landscape of India. As a company that has 16 years of mapping the world, we’ve selected some of the most pulsating festive backdrops, thrilling adventures and a variety of themes for the audience to choose. They can pick a trail and apply on the website for a self-driven journey with their chosen travel buddies.

Participants will be invited to register on the website, outlooktraveller.com/wow, to choose from a set of 6 trails in different parts of the country. The trails have been specifically timed with a particular festival or vibrant mood of a time in the year, to add extra exuberance to the destination. Each trip has been planned, keeping a certain audience in mind.
