As the world prepares to celebrate International Women’s Day, Decathlon India is set to  introduce the 2.0 edition of the ‘Play Your Own Way’ campaign, promoting inclusivity and  empowerment for women of all ages, backgrounds, and sizes. The campaign celebrates  each woman’s unique journey towards a healthier and happier lifestyle, whether it is  taking up a new sport, setting fitness objectives, or simply enjoying freedom of  movement.

Through a series of engaging events and activities, Decathlon India aims to encourage  50,000 women across the country to discover the joy of an active lifestyle and the sense  of empowerment that comes with it.  

  • Various citywide events include Women’s Day runs, exclusive women’s cycling,  fitness activities, Zumba, and badminton across Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi. Additionally, interactive challenges are being organized in major stores across  India, providing something for all women to step out of their houses, enjoy, and  participate in.  
  • The campaign comes to life through a captivating video by Decathlon, showcasing women defying expectations and embracing their individuality through sports.

This video serves as a call to action, emphasizing that sports are not about  conforming, but about celebrating your unique journey and defining your  own success.  

It aims to ignite a spark in viewers, urging them to break free from  stereotypes and experience life on their own terms.  

  • Additionally, the brand proudly features testimonials from its eminent women teammates across India in the form of a vox-pop video, exemplifying Decathlon’s belief that change begins from within.  
  • Decathlon also launched an ad audio challenge for everyone to participate in during the women’s day week: Link
  • Through this campaign, Decathlon also invites women to work with them and join their team #HERoesofDecathlon.

At Decathlon India, we are committed to nurturing a culture of inclusivity and  empowerment, where every individual, regardless of gender, feels valued and supported in  their pursuit of an active lifestyle.
