It is a time to engage and connect with the mass. DAN has adapted the venture, closely linking it to facebook, to give users a more user-friendly platform with wide range of choices to celebrate with. A good number of retail and non-retail brands have already come forward to be associated with the platform owing to the reach it provides to prospective buyers. A number of online engagements including online games have been designed for users to attract more reasons for their merry making. The games deliver an opportunity for the players to win attractive gifts for the festivals and wide range of discount options from various brands.
