Its Now PEPSI IPL

The BCCI has sold the title sponsorship of the IPL for the next five years to PepsiCo for Rs. 396.8 crore ($71.77 million approx), almost double the previous deal. The only other contender for the rights was Airtel, a telecommunications company, who bid Rs 316 crore ($57.27 million approximately).

DLF, a real estate company, were the previous title sponsors and they had paid Rs 200 crore ($36.25 million approx) for the five year period from 2008-12.

"So far our record of selling various properties of IPL has been very good," IPL governing council chairman Rajiv Shukla said after a meeting of BCCI's marketing committee in Mumbai. "We have doubled, tripled or quadrupled the amount while selling some of the properties.

"PepsiCo is one of the largest sponsors in world sport and we look forward to working with them over the next seasons. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank DLF for its confidence in the IPL to become the league's first title sponsor in 2008."

Happy & Safe Diwali ! :)

Subject: How this happened

Friend –

I’m about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first.
I want you to know that this wasn’t fate, and it wasn’t an accident. You made this happen.
You organized yourselves block by block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn’t easy, you pressed forward.
I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started.
But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place.
Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests.
There’s a lot more work to do.
But for right now: Thank you.

Barack
