Jasprit Bumrah, exclusively managed by RISE Worldwide, a Reliance initiative and India’s largest sports and entertainment company, will lead the D2C brand’s ‘Never Ordinary’ campaign. His extraordinary game across formats makes him the perfect fit to represent the brand.
The campaign ‘Never Ordinary’ is spread across a series of creatives, weaved in a way that tells the features and USPs of the uppercase’s bags. The films showcase the uppercase’s bags as a perfect everyday companion that is eco-friendly in nature. It highlights that uppercase bags are GRS (Global Recycle Standard)-certified sustainable travel gear. It essentially makes uppercase one of the first travel accessories brands in India to meet international product standards and recycled content certification, which comes with social and environmental practices and no hazardous chemicals restrictions. The creative showcasing of the efficacy of the gears is now live across OTT and social media platforms.
uppercase’s gears are not only fashionably sustainable but also come with rainproof zippers, 3X more water resistance material, and premium recycled fabric with quality so good that backpacks can stand even when unstuffed.

He brings that passion to the team as we launch uppercase.

They don’t like doing the Ordinary, and so do we, as a brand.”
Jasprit Bumrah, Indian cricketer, said, “I am excited to join the team of uppercase, a brand that offers a wide product portfolio that focuses on being durable, vibrant and water resistant for young Indians.
