NEW DELHI: Quaker Oats, one of India’s leading brands in the oats segment, from the house of PepsiCo India, on National Doctor’s Day salutes the dedication and compassion of The Real Fit Heroes – our healthcare community with a special digital film.

Supporting the tireless devotion of our frontline workers, who are bringing hope to many during these challenging times, Quaker applauds their efforts through a special digital film with a warm message from Quaker Brand Ambassador, Vikas Khanna. Through this film, Quaker urges netizens to salute and thank the Real Fit Heroes – doctors, nurses and many more such healthcare professionals for their compassionate and heroic work in the fight against the pandemic.

PepsiCo India, senior director and category head foods Dilen Gandhi said, “The healthcare professionals have shown true resilience, selflessness and strong commitment and have worked tirelessly. On National Doctor’s Day, Quaker salutes our frontline warriors for their relentless efforts and an unwavering spirit that has brought hope to all of us. Our digital film is a tribute to extend our appreciation for the healthcare heroes and recognize their continued dedication. We are also serving ready-to-eat *oatmeals, through vending machines in some leading Government hospitals in New Delhi for easy on-the-go access. We are also distributing packs in hospitals in various cities of India as a small gesture. May they stay real fit forever.”

Quaker Oats brand ambassador, Vikas Khanna, said, “I wish to thank all the healthcare professionals for working tirelessly during these challenging times. Today, on National Doctor's Day, we salute the dedicated efforts and compassion of our Healthcare workers that has filled all of us with the hope of better lives. Quaker’s digital film is a tribute to extend our collective appreciation for the healthcare heroes as they continue to serve the country.”

To support these healthcare heroes, earlier this month Quaker Oats had announced that it will provide over 1 lakh oatmeals* to doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals working tirelessly in COVID-19 speciality hospitals across New Delhi. The oatmeals* were provided by installing Quaker Oats vending machines in leading government hospitals. The special initiative was flagged off by Dr. Randeep Gulleria, Director, AIIMS along with Abhishek Singh, IAS, Deputy Commissioner, New Delhi.
