7UP pops with a fizzy new MOGO to refresh your ears
MUMBAI: 7UP is turning up the volume – literally. The fizzy favourite from PepsiCo has launched its first-ever sonic identity in India, giving its signature refreshment a catchy new sound. This “MOGO” (musical logo), created in partnership with sonic branding agency BrandMusiq, is more than just a jingle — it’s a crisp, 7-note sonic signature designed to tickle your ears and tap into your emotions.
India leads the global rollout, with the sound debuting at retail touchpoints in Bengaluru. Coolers in stores will now play this audio cue, making the “sound of refreshment” unmistakably 7UP right at the point of thirst.
Commenting on the launch, PepsiCo India category lead, Cola and Flavours, Shailja Joshi said, “In today’s dynamic consumer landscape, building a brand goes far beyond the imagery to creating experiences that are instantly felt and remembered. With our new sonic identity, we bring to life the essence of 7UP, refreshing, vibrant, and full of character, in a way that resonates across platforms and cultures. This sonic identity is not just an audio asset, It’s an innovative leap into sensory branding. It will serve as a consistent, emotionally engaging cue that will amplify 7UP’s refreshing spirit wherever our consumers engage with us.”
Built using AI-powered emotion mapping, the sound blends the crack of a can, a splash of fizz, and a bubbly melody that’s meant to feel like sunshine in a bottle. It’s refreshment you can hear — designed to trigger joy, build memory, and elevate brand recall in today’s scroll-and-swipe culture.
Talking about the collaboration, BrandMusiq founder & soundsmith, Rajeev Raja said,“For the 7UP global sonic identity, we weren’t just creating a sound, we were bottling a feeling. The rush of freshness, the playful splash, the upliftment you get when you take a sip. The swiftly ascending 7-note MOGO®️ captures all of that in a way that’s light, cool, and instantly recognizable. The MOGOSCAPE (sonic brandprint) was crafted to bring the totality of the brand experience across every ‘Earpoint’. It all comes together to create a consistent and emotionally engaging sonic world for the brand.”
The sonic ID is set to echo across digital, retail, and experiential spaces — making 7UP not just a drink, but a multisensory experience. And in a noisy world, that’s music to any brand’s ears.

Tata Communications named Gartner WAN Leader for 13th consecutive year
AI-driven network upgrades and global expansion keep telecom major ahead
MUMBAI: Tata Communications has once again secured its place among the top global network providers, earning a Leader position in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Global WAN Services 2026 for the thirteenth year running.
The recognition from Gartner highlights the company’s consistent performance in both strategic vision and execution, a rare feat in a fast-evolving connectivity landscape.
Over the past year, Tata Communications has doubled down on building what it calls a more intelligent and flexible network fabric. In simpler terms, this means networks that can adapt on demand, powered by artificial intelligence and analytics, to support businesses operating across geographies and industries.
The company has expanded its network-on-demand offerings, allowing enterprises to scale connectivity more easily across data centres and multiple cloud environments. It has also invested in next-generation fibre infrastructure and high-capacity 800G wavelength services to keep pace with the growing demands of AI-led cloud ecosystems.
Global reach remains a key focus. Tata Communications has extended its footprint through partner points of presence, enabling quicker deployment in new markets while strengthening last-mile connectivity through local collaborations.
Security, too, is getting a significant upgrade. The company has enhanced its Secure Access Service Edge capabilities to tackle emerging AI-driven cyber risks, including unauthorised data transfers. Looking ahead, it is also preparing to roll out quantum-safe encryption services based on post-quantum cryptography standards, aiming to future-proof enterprise data against both classical and next-generation threats.
Speaking on the milestone, Tata Communications executive vice president, core and next-gen connectivity services and chief technology officer Genius Wong said, “We are honoured to be recognised for the 13th consecutive year and deeply appreciate the continued trust our customers place in us. At Tata Communications, we will continue to transform our solutions so enterprises can build resilient, high-performance and intelligent digital foundations. With our future-ready, resilient and intelligent network fabric, enterprises can scale with confidence and thrive in an AI-powered future world.”
While industry rankings often come and go, a 13-year streak suggests more than just consistency. For Tata Communications, it signals a steady grip on a rapidly shifting global connectivity market and a clear ambition to stay ahead of the curve.
