Harley-Davidson India has had to hold its Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) Rally by virtual means due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The Eastern H.O.G. Rally was originally scheduled for March 2020 but had to be postponed because of the lockdown. The virtual rally involved a 60-minute live-stream on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. The rally was opened by Sajeev Rajasekharan, Managing Director, Asia Emerging Markets and India, Harley-Davidson. In the hour-long virtual rally, H-D India engaged over 5.7 lakh people across social media platforms.
