Speaking about the initiative, Ashwin Gedam, Vice President, Global Marketing, Xpress Money, said: "We set out to do something different this Ramadan. Iftar is a time when friends and family get together to break their day long fast.

It was a fantastic moment for my store and our customers were very glad to receive such a wonderful gift from Xpress Money."
