Branding · Chhattisgarh

Chhattiskala

A cultural branding project giving Chhattisgarh's artistic, craft and heritage ecosystem a distinct identity — beyond decorative representation, into a brand language rooted in local pride, indigenous creativity and contemporary presentation.

Problem

State-run craft with priceless heritage — and no brand gravity outside Chhattisgarh.

Built

A complete identity system — catalogue, exhibition language, artisan IDs, digital presence — one visual voice.

Shift

From welfare initiative to a cultural brand that collectors seek out.

Chhattiskala, A Bihan Initiative
Context

Build a distinct, contemporary cultural identity rooted in local pride, not folk decoration.

Approach

Folk influences, regional motifs, craft textures and earthy colour inside a modern visual structure.

Applications

Exhibitions, digital platforms, merchandise, signage and communication material.

Outcome

Not just a showcase of tradition — a living cultural brand and platform for artists, artisans and the creative spirit of Chhattisgarh.

Identity & Event · Uttarakhand

Gullak & Gullak 2.0

Identity and event-led initiatives under the Mukhyamantri Udhyamshala Yojana, built on one emotional metaphor everyone already owns: small savings becoming big possibilities.

Problem

A household word for savings — invisible as a platform for rural enterprise.

Built

An identity and a summit system: main stage, pitch zone, badges, campaign and social set.

Shift

From a nostalgic noun to a stage rural entrepreneurs aspire to stand on.

Gullak logo with the tagline A friend in need, beside a clay gullak

The logo & the idea — money-inspired lettering with the Hindi क, built on the clay gullak everyone grew up with

Idea

The household gullak — small savings becoming big possibilities. A symbol of trust everyone grew up with.

Identity logic

Money-inspired lettering with the Hindi क — accessible, youthful, optimistic, rooted in Indian aspiration.

Event role

Stage design, event branding and visual systems that turned entrepreneurship into a relatable public experience.

Evolution

Gullak 2.0 — the same idea, evolved: structured, scalable, built for wider participation and stronger recall.

Identity & Event · Tehri Lake

Himalayan O2

A premium destination festival celebrating adventure, culture, music, youth energy and the natural beauty of Uttarakhand — positioning Tehri not as a location, but as an experience.

Problem

A destination event with no story beyond its location.

Built

An event identity and communication system that sold the air itself.

Shift

From a trek date on a poster to an experience people evangelise.

The identity system — mountain-contour wordmark, O₂ accent, palette, type and iconography

Breathe.Climb.Ride.Fly.Compete.Celebrate.
Positioning

Not a venue — an experience: breathe, climb, ride, fly, compete, celebrate.

Scope

The complete event ecosystem: festival identity, outdoor communication, signage, competition branding, stage and environmental graphics.

Digital

Website experience, registrations and public-facing campaign material.

Value

A modern festival brand with strong tourism, youth and destination pull.

Communication · Saras Aajeevika 2025

Saras

Integrated communication around rural women artisans, self-help groups, enterprise building and the Lakhpati Didi narrative — turning a welfare message into a story of dignity, income, skill and rural leadership.

Problem

Rural self-help produce, presented in government language nobody shops in.

Built

A communication system that gave the produce a voice buyers instinctively trust.

Shift

From scheme stall to marketplace brand.

Campaign communication · Youth mobilisation

NaMo Yuva Run

A nationwide youth mobilisation campaign by BJYM around fitness, healthy living and Nasha Mukt Bharat, held during Seva Pakhwada and timed to 21 September 2025, where a public run was shaped into a high-energy national youth movement.

Problem

A public run at risk of being one more fitness event on a Sunday.

Built

A belief campaign — teaser series, Bollywood culture-plays, mascot films, a 75-city system.

Shift

From a marathon to a national youth movement against addiction.

The strategic thought

It was not treated as just a marathon. It was shaped as a public participation moment where fitness, national service, youth energy and anti-drug awareness came together under one clear message.

Context

A youth campaign on fitness, Nasha Mukt Bharat and Seva Pakhwada, tied to 21 September 2025.

Approach

A sharp, youth-facing visual language built to feel energetic, participative and movement-driven.

Our role

Campaign communication, digital and social creatives, youth messaging, event branding support, and reel and video-led amplification.

Scale

A public run reframed as a national youth movement, across 75 locations in Bharat.

NaMo Yuva Run hero creative: break the chains of addiction

Hero campaign creative

The creative series, in application

A teaser-led social set built around one repeated idea: one path breaks you, the other makes you.

The culture play, Bollywood speaks youth

To reach a generation, borrow the language it already loves — Gully Boy, Pushpa, Mirzapur — each reframed into the run's one message.

The launch set, one million strong

From the starting-line manifesto to the mascot — the assets that carried the run into the open.

The identity, one energy system

Behind the campaign sits a full event brand — a geometric runner in campaign saffron, a gear-built lion mascot, and a system that carries both from the start line to the certificate.

"A nationwide youth mobilisation campaign that turned fitness, public participation and Nasha Mukt Bharat messaging into a high-energy political communication movement."

Brand & Packaging · Wellness beverage

Go Grin

A kombucha and fermented-wellness brand, est. 2020 — "Nature's Always Right." One pine, five flavours and a complete commercial system: identity, packaging, café presence, retail display, delivery experience and digital storefront.

Problem

Kombucha reads as an acquired taste — a health fad in a crowded chiller.

Built

A warm, natural brand world: identity, five-flavour packaging system and every surface from café table to inbox.

Shift

From a fermented drink to a daily wellness ritual.

The brand thought

Wellness brands usually argue with science. Go Grin persuades with warmth — a pine that promises nature, a palette that tastes like the flavour it carries, and a voice that says relax, refresh, revive.

Positioning

Your daily dose of health — kombucha as an everyday ritual, not an experiment.

System

Forest green plus five flavour hues — Tangy Turmeric to Pineapple Passion — across labels, cartons and displays.

Our role

Brand identity, packaging system, retail and café POSM, delivery experience, merchandise and digital marketing kit.

Surface

Bottle, chiller, café counter, courier box, feed and inbox — one language everywhere.
