‘Unbox Zindagi’ Snapdeal’s new identity
MUMBAI: Snapdeal India has announced the launch of its new brand identity, which aims to capture the pulse of a confident, aspirational India.
The new identity repositions Snapdeal as the platform that believes in the potential and dreams of its consumers and partners them in their journey to a better life. The heart of the positioning is about recognizing the real needs of the users and understanding that each purchase is not just a transaction, but an opportunity to upgrade to a better life, expressed in the new brand identity as “Unbox Zindagi.”
Starting today, Snapdeal users will be able to experience the new identity across multiple touch points ranging from brand communication to browsing, from discovery to decision and culminating in the key moment when the new boxes will be delivered to the users.Highlighting the philosophy behind the brand re-positioning, Snapdeal CEO and co-founder Kunal Bahl said “India is transforming rapidly. Their aspirations and desires are based not on where they come from but where they can reach. We seek to engage with the next 100 million online shoppers from all parts of an increasingly connected India.”
Snapdeal co-founder Rohit Bansal said, “The impact of e-commerce allows consumers to overcome third world constraints and aspire for better lives. At Snapdeal, the delivery of functional benefits like speed, convenience and value is everyday work, but our larger journey is about being the bridge between access and aspiration”.
Prasoon Joshi and his team at McCann have conceived and executed the “Unbox Zindagi” campaign. Elaborating on the concept of the campaign, McCann Worldgroup CEO India and chairman Asia Pacific Prasoon Joshi said “When a ‘boxed’ existence is opened up, it unleashes great human potential.”
The campaign has brought to life by series of films directed by Amit Sharma and his team at Chrome. The lyrics of “Unbox Zindagi” have been written by Prasoon Joshi and set to uplifting soundtrack by the legendary musical genius of Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy. Raj Kamble, Founder and CCO of Famous Innovations has created the striking visual imagery for the logo launch film and print campaigns.
The brand design, built around the distinct red box and the possibilities that each unboxing brings, has been led personally by Design Studio CEO Paul Stafford.
The new brand identity has been rolled out on the app, website, m-site and through all brand communication. A campaign, with the new brand identity, will appear in the form of TVCs, print, outdoor and all digital media including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Summercool signs 10-episode Teen Taal podcast deal as presenting sponsor
Brand taps content-led marketing with seamless integrations on Aaj Tak show
NEW DELHI: Summercool Coolers has partnered with Teen Taal as the presenting sponsor for a 10-episode podcast series, marking its push into content-led marketing as brands increasingly look beyond traditional advertising formats.
The collaboration with Aaj Tak, part of the India Today Group, aims to tap into the growing influence of podcasts as high-attention platforms where audiences engage more deeply with content.
Instead of standard ad slots, the partnership leans on a content-first approach, with Summercool integrated directly into the show’s environment through studio branding, contextual mentions and visual cues. The idea is simple: be part of the conversation, not a break from it.
Early signs suggest the strategy is working. In the opening episode, the brand is woven into the discussion without interrupting the flow, offering a more natural recall compared to conventional advertising bursts.
Summercool Coolers director finance Abhishek Gupta said, “This partnership reflects our belief in engaging audiences where they are most attentive. By integrating naturally within a compelling storytelling format like Teen Taal, we are able to create authentic connections and drive organic engagement.”
Echoing this, India Today Group Digital CEO Salil Kumar said, “Podcasts today are not just content formats, they are high-attention environments. With Teen Taal, we’ve created a space where brands can participate in conversations, not interrupt them.”
Hosted by Kamlesh Singh, Kuldeep Mishra and Asif Khan, Teen Taal has built a loyal following for its mix of humour, satire and sharp takes on current affairs and everyday culture. That easy, conversational tone makes it a natural fit for brands seeking relevance without being overly intrusive.
With the first episode already live across platforms such as YouTube, Spotify and JioSaavn, the series offers a glimpse into how storytelling and subtle branding can go hand in hand. For Summercool, it is less about cooling the air and more about warming up to a new way of reaching audiences.
