Hashtag Orange lands Roca India digital brief, flush with plans to boost online presence
MUMBAI: Bathroom brilliance just met browser muscle. In a digital leap, Roca India has appointed Gurugram-based Hashtag Orange to lead its online brand transformation. Announced on 22 April, the mandate comes with a full-stack remit: digital storytelling, data-fuelled media planning, and an SEO strategy built to soak up search traffic like a Roca basin.
With over 100 years of global expertise in sanitaryware, Roca is hardly a new name in Indian households. But as digital becomes the new showroom, the brand has turned to Hashtag Orange to build visibility, engagement and recall in the minds of modern consumers who shop, scroll and scrutinise online.
“Roca is more than a brand; it’s a name that has established quality, innovation, and design excellence in the world of bathroom solutions for decades. We aim to enhance this legacy in the digital world by developing strategies that connect with digital-first consumers today in the Indian market. At Hashtag Orange, we are committed to the potential of stories and technology, and with Roca, we have a thrilling chance to merge both into one to fuel engagement, awareness, and growth,” said Hashtag Orange founder Mukesh Vij.
Roca India head of brand marketing Vikrant Choudhary added, “Consumer behaviour is evolving rapidly, and online presence has never been more powerful. At Roca India, we’ve always believed in innovation—not only in our products but also in how we engage with our consumers. Our collaboration with Hashtag Orange couldn’t have come at a more opportune moment, as it aligns with our mission to create stronger relationships, drive recall, and apply data-driven intelligence to inform our digital destiny. We are eager to see this collaboration bring about a significant and compelling digital presence.”
The brand film, slated to roll out across digital channels, will spotlight Roca’s legacy, product excellence, and sustainability ethos. Beyond eye-candy campaigns, the partnership aims to harness customer insights and performance analytics to keep the conversation flowing—not just around taps, but around touchpoints.
In a landscape where every scroll counts, Roca is betting that its digital revamp will help it maintain category leadership, while Hashtag Orange looks to turn clicks into conversions and eyeballs into enduring brand love.

Mana Projects names Ranbir Kapoor brand ambassador amid rebranding
Bengaluru developer unveils new identity focused on design and nature.
MUMBAI: When real estate meets reel star power, the foundation for a new brand story is often laid brick by brick. Mana Projects, the Bengaluru based real estate developer, has appointed actor Ranbir Kapoor as its brand ambassador while unveiling a refreshed brand identity aimed at aligning the company with the evolving expectations of modern urban homebuyers.
The announcement marks a new phase for the developer, which has spent over two decades building residential communities in Bengaluru, particularly along emerging growth corridors such as Sarjapur Road.
The updated brand identity reflects the company’s emphasis on design led living and environmentally conscious development. According to the developer, the new positioning focuses on creating residential spaces where architecture, nature, engineering and lifestyle planning work together to shape meaningful living experiences.
Mana Projects chairman and managing director D. Kishore Reddy said the rebranding represents a natural progression as the company adapts to the expectations of a new generation of homeowners.
“This rebranding represents the natural evolution of Mana Projects as we align ourselves with the aspirations of a new generation of homeowners, particularly millennials who form the backbone of Bengaluru’s dynamic homebuyer community,” Reddy said.
He added that today’s buyers increasingly look beyond basic housing to spaces that combine design, sustainability and a strong sense of community.
“At Mana, our philosophy centres on creating homes where space is purposeful, design is intelligent, nature is respected and engineering ensures long term sustainability. Our association with Ranbir Kapoor reflects this new chapter as we continue to build communities that enable people to truly live brilliantly,” he said.
Kapoor, who has been associated with several lifestyle and consumer brands, said the partnership resonated with his own understanding of what makes a home meaningful.
“A home is one of the most meaningful investments people make in their lives, and it should reflect comfort, warmth and a sense of belonging,” Kapoor said.
“What impressed me about Mana Projects is the brilliance of their thought, the way design, nature and functionality come together to enhance everyday living. I’m delighted to be associated with Mana Projects as they continue to create homes that inspire modern urban families to truly live brilliantly.”
The collaboration will be introduced through a large scale integrated campaign spanning digital platforms, outdoor media and experiential activations, making it one of the developer’s most prominent branding initiatives in recent years.
Founded in Bengaluru, Mana Projects has built a portfolio of residential developments that emphasise thoughtful architecture, amenity rich neighbourhoods and environmentally sensitive planning. The company’s projects often integrate open spaces, green landscapes and energy efficient engineering to support sustainable urban living.
With Bengaluru continuing to attract young professionals and technology workers, the developer believes the city’s housing market is increasingly being shaped by buyers seeking well planned communities that balance functionality with quality of life.
Looking ahead, Mana Projects plans to expand its presence across the city by developing future ready residential projects designed to accommodate emerging lifestyle trends such as hybrid work culture, community driven living and multigenerational households.
By combining a refreshed brand identity with a high profile ambassador, the company hopes to strengthen its position in Bengaluru’s competitive real estate market while appealing to a new generation of homeowners seeking homes that blend design, nature and modern living.
