"Acko is a distinguished, young and upcoming brand and there is a strong alignment as both partners are constantly striving to scale new heights. We look forward to having a very successful association this season".

Ashish Mishra, Executive Vice President - Marketing, Acko General Insurance, said, "We are excited to partner with the highly talented Delhi Capitals team. Our goal is to drive brand awareness and brand discovery among new customers pan India. IPL being the biggest and most popular sporting event in the country makes it an exceptional avenue for a branding exercise for a young brand."
