This Diwali, a beautiful ad film by HP India urges viewers to shop local and support street vendors. And to promote this initiative, the sweet ad they have created has gone viral on social media.
The 3-minute-long ad film shows a woman selling diyas on the street - a familiar sight for everyone in the days leading up to the festival of lights.
