KDM, the leading lifestyle & mobile accessories brand in India, has been honoured with ‘Zee Bharat Ki Udaan Award’ for Bharat Ka Charger Maha Kumbh initiative by Shri Nitin Gadkari, Hon'ble Minister of Road Transport and Highways, while attending Zee Bharat's program 'Bharat Ki Udaan.'
This recognition reflects KDM’s lasting impact at Maha Kumbh 2025 by setting up 1080 mobile charging points to provide charging support for devotees. These stations, equipped with KDM-T Technology chargers, are estimated to have charged over 23 lakh phones during the 45-day event, helping attendees stay connected with their families.
KDM integrated the Government's vision of divya and digital Maha Kumbh and aligned with Digital India and Maha Kumbh’s spiritual and cultural ethos. It played a big role at Maha Kumbh 2025 to solve a major problem and ensured devotees from rural backgrounds could stay connected with their family and loved ones. It also complemented the efforts of government departments and administration, earning widespread acclaim.
