Ducati To Celebrate Independence Day With Scrambler Rumble

Celebrating India’s 71st Independence Day, Ducatisti from across India will raise money to support better education for underprivileged children

Ducati has announced its first ever Scrambler Independence Rumble in India, which will take place on Independence Day this year. The Italian brand also has plans to support the Lotus Petal foundation, an NGO that strives to nurture individuals and bring about a transformation in their lives through education, by raising funds through this unique ride.

Lotus Petal Foundation is a non-profit set up for helping children in urban slums by providing free education and nutrition. Founded by a management graduate from IIM Lucknow, Kushal Raj Chakravorty, the organization also provides free primary and secondary healthcare to children and their families.

The ride is being flagged off from respective Ducati dealerships at 6 AM and is open to all Ducati riders.

On this occasion, Sergi Canovas, MD of Ducati India, said, “Education is Independence and we want to give back to the society we live in. We are extremely proud to announce the Scrambler Independence Rumble on the occasion of 71st Independence Day of India. Through these rides, we endeavor to create awareness and help young children receive quality education with the support of Ducatisti across the country. I am confident that our first ride will be full of biking enthusiasts carrying the Indian Flag high and participate in this ride of joy, nostalgia, freedom, peace, love and nobility celebrating the spirit of Nationalism and making a difference.”

"It is always an honour to find support for the cause of education with organizations that have similar values. Lotus Petal is deeply committed to providing a life of dignity to the children living in the urban slums of Gurgaon, India. Our methods to bring about transformation are contemporary and deeply rooted in quality education within classrooms. Ducati`s commitment to their product and customers is timeless. It is an organization built on passion and a lot of understanding of skills and current innovation. We are hopeful that this ride on India’s 71st Independence Day will enthuse more people to the cause of education and work towards taking the nation in the right direction”, Kushal Raj Chakravorty, Founder, Lotus Petal Foundation.
