Canon flags off Image Express Canon adds another feather to its multi-hued plume by introducing the Canon Image Express – a mobile exposition on wheels for the entire range of Canon products. The Canon Image Express was flagged off by President & CEO Mr. Kensaku Konishi along with Senior Vice President Mr. Alok Bharadwaj on 14th April 2010 The Canon Image Express has been designed on the lines of the Canon Image Lounges that have been in existence for a while now; the only differentiator being that the lounge now goes mobile, weaving through the hinterland of semi-urban India spinning a rich tapestry of emotional bonds across 38 Indian cities over a period of 11 months. The Canon Image Express will cover Nasik to Guwahati and Himachal to Kochi on its way as it touches millions of people and presents India the delight of smiles. The event was a simple ‘puja’ or holy ceremony, in the traditional Indian way of breaking an auspicious coconut while the entire staff and senior management of Canon released red and white balloons in the air providing a sprinkling of festivity.
