︎ Where we were  A new soup business was launching in Mumbai’s hottest mall, and was looking to compete for a customer with indo/western taste preferences.

︎Where we wanted to be
Become a sought-after solution for those looking for a comforting, convenient, and healthy bite to eat.



︎How we got there We conducted primary
research in high-traffic food courts to reveal customer behaviors, food preferences, and any seasonal changes.
For example, we discovered people preferred tastes that were reminiscent of home. They wanted food a no-fuss food presentation with easy to pack leftovers and preferred warm, comfort foods when it was raining outside, which in Mumbai was frequent.

Since “comfort” played a substantial part in customer decision-making, we decided an appropriate brand space could represent the nostalgic idea of “abundant comfort.”

We developed a visual solution designed around the memory of a time when soup was prepared in cast-iron cauldrons. Abundantly delicious, perfect for communal gatherings. The air would fill up with fragrant seasoning, and people would wait eagerly to eat together.

We captured the idea in a punchy, easy-to-remember logo that was cost-effective and straightforward to produce. Then we paired that with community-focused imagery to create a compelling and scalable brand identity system.
