Schbang is a media and technology transformation firm headquartered in Mumbai. Schbang, along with Poonam Pandey, her public relations staff, and manager, was an active participant in the death fake. However, given the strong reaction and concerns of legal ramifications, it appears that their strategy has failed terribly. While Poonam's team maintains that all of this was done to raise awareness about cervical cancer, many people believe that it was a cheap publicity gimmick.
Schbang apologised in their statement for any offence they may have caused, particularly to individuals who have battled with or lost a loved one to cancer. In their defence, Schbang claimed that once cervical cancer was included in the Union budget, there was little discussion about it among the public. However, following Poonam Pandey's death, cervical cancer has become the most Googled issue.Â
