Ms. Sevantika Bhandari, Director Marketing, Max Bupa said “As the web has become an increasingly social experience, reinforced by people using their real identities, it has enabled people to personalize the Internet to their likes and interests, their social circles, and their needs. As a communication tool, Facebook is great for building brand awareness, growing consumer connect, and building relationships. At Max Bupa, through our innovative approach, we believe in building a long term healthy relationship with the customers by understanding their needs, by coming closer to them through a continuous dialogue on what matters the most to them.
