According to Pepsi's brand ambassador Ranbir Kapoor, ''Pepsi has always been the voice of Youngistaan echoing their dreams and aspiration. With 'What's Your Way, Pepsi brings alive relatable situations, which each one of us are familiar with and challenges us to gives the most whacky and cool responses. This campaign will surely have every youngster vying to be on their Pepsi 'My Can'.''

With the newest campaign, 'What's Your Way', Pepsi aims to take engagement a notch higher by starting a dialogue with youngsters, thereby becoming a part of their conversations.''

''Today, many brands are vying for a share of mind in the youth mind space. With our new programme, Pepsi will attempt to reinforce the equity it enjoys amongst youngsters,'' he added

Pepsi has introduced applications such as the ''whack-o-meter'' on Facebook. With 'My Radio, My Way', Pepsi will create a mobile radio studio, which will go to campuses, from where the young crowd can play the music that it likes.
