The partnership aligns with Signpost India’s “Signs of Tomorrow” vision, which focuses on transforming transit media from static formats into dynamic, data-driven platforms for storytelling and brand engagement. By blending premium static and digital media under the principle of “Less is More,” the company aims to respect public spaces while enhancing urban aesthetics and ensuring impactful yet non-intrusive advertising.

Signpost India has an established presence in major cities such as Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru, where it has successfully delivered innovative transit media solutions. This expansion into the metro network marks a significant milestone in strengthening its dominance across Bengaluru’s transit ecosystem, adding to its stronghold in bus and bus queue shelter networks.

Partnering with BMRCL marks a strategic leap in creating immersive, data-driven experiences for millions of commuters while celebrating Bengaluru’s culture and identity.”

The Bengaluru Metro addition further reinforces Signpost India’s leadership in transit media, offering a powerful mix of digital out-of-home assets, real-time data analytics, and hyperlocal content, designed to support smart city engagement and create value for both advertisers and citizens.
