Ducati India will flag off its first Scrambler Independence Rumble on August 15 to celebrate India’s 71st year of Independence. The Italian luxury bike manufacturer has announced that they are set to organize a ride from chosen dealerships across India this Independence day. The ride will represent a social cause as the company has plans to support the Lotus Petal Foundation, an NGO that focuses on free education and nutrition of unprivileged children from urban slums and poverty ridden areas. This non-profit setup also provides free primary and secondary healthcare to poor children and their families. Along with the company fellow Ducatisti from across the country will also raise money to support this foundation and participate in the ride on their Scrambler and Ducati range of motorcycles.
