Jugnoo, leading mobile app that offers largest network of auto rickshaws across country, has signed a dual deal with popular TV and film actress Saumya Tandon. The actress who has been appointed ambassador will also invest in the auto rickshaw agregator.

Elaborating on the association, Samar Singla, Founder and CEO, Jugnoo commented, "With Saumya coming on board, our patrons and new users will have a face to connect with and her popularity will aid better brand recall. As far as her investments are concerned; it will assist us to augment our capacity."

Adding to the insights, Saumya Tandon, "It is an exciting time to be a part of this dynamic start-up ecosystem, considering the sudden upsurge in the sector and the growing economy of the country. By providing the convenience of hailing an auto?rickshaw via mobile app, Jugnoo is solving a very fundamental problem. I truly appreciate the cause they are working for."
 

The association is in alignment with the new fad of Indian start-ups being backed by Bollywood. Celebrities are either putting in money or endorsing products by becoming their brand ambassadors. While their monetary investment definitely helps, but the popularity factor they induce into the entire scenario is commendable.

Saumya Tandon is currently playing 'Anita' in popular comedy series 'Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai'. She also had the opportunity to work with Shah Rukh Khan as co-host in 'Zor Ka Jhatka: Total Wipeout'.

Furthermore, she has hosted popular reality show 'Dance India Dance' and co-hosted 'Bournvita Quiz Contest' with Derek O' Brien. The actress gained more prominence after her role as 'Roop' in the Bollywood Blockbuster 'Jab We Met'.
