Aman Gupta’s BoAt Adventure

• After completing his education, Aman Gupta ventured into the corporate world, gaining valuable experience in product management and marketing.
• However, it was in 2015 that he decided to chart his course by co-founding boAt, a brand that would soon become synonymous with quality audio products.
• BoAt’s tagline “Plug In to Nirvana” results from co-founders’ thoughts of connecting music to a person’s soul and transcending them into stirring bliss.

Shubh-BoAT Controversy – Recent Highlights of the Brand

• Besides serving customers with multi-category electronic products, Aman Gupta’s boAT also pursues sponsorship initiatives. Recently, boAT was sponsoring Shubhneet Singh’s India Tour called ‘Still Rollin’ along with other sponsors such as Book My Show and Moj. Under unfortunate circumstances, boAT pulled back its sponsorship for the Canadian-Punjabi singer’s Indian tour.
• The Shubh-BoAT controversy erupted after Shubh shared a distorted map of India on Instagram.
• The strong Indian roots bring boAT into action against the Khalistani issue, as a result of which boAT ends sponsorship with Shubhneet. Justifying its decision, boAT wrote on social media, “At boAt, while our commitment to the incredible music community runs deep, we are first and foremost a true Indian brand. When we became aware of the remarks made by artist Shubh earlier this year, we chose to withdraw our sponsorship from the tour.”
