Parksons Cartamundi, a leading player in the evolving world of playing cards worldwide, is excited to announce the arrival of the iconic Bicycle® brand in India. This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone as the iconic American brand makes its grand entry into the vibrant Indian market, starting with the card-enthusiast state of Gujarat.

Renowned for its unparalleled quality, craftsmanship, and almost 140-year legacy, Bicycle® is set to redefine the card-playing experience for Indian consumers. The brand’s arrival coincides with the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami, a perfect time to bring families together and celebrate the joy of card games.

To celebrate the launch as well as increase the awareness of Bicycle®, both Bicycle® and Parksons Cartamundi have planned a series of exciting activations to engage with the consumers in Gujarat. These activities include captivating magic shows and engaging kiosk events hosted from a branded Bicycle® van. The van will tour premium Ahmedabad locations like Revati Towers, while also offering experiences at select retail counters including Toy Stories, Toyzapp, and Apple Stationary etc. Moreover, the highlight of the campaign is the “Evening with Bicycle” community event, inviting families to come together and rediscover the joy of card games.

With its deep-rooted love for card games, especially during festive occasions like Janmashtami, Gujarat provides an ideal market for this iconic brand. Card games have always been a cherished part of these festive gatherings. We are eager to bring Bicycle, the world’s No. 1 brand, made in the US and available in over 80 countries, to India, aiming to enhance the consumer experience and elevate the card gaming culture here.
