BrandMusiq crafts sonic identity for Jio BP
Mumbai: BrandMusiq has announced the creation of the sonic identity for Jio BP, a brand that symbolises the collaboration of two industry giants: Jio from Reliance and British Petroleum (BP). The sonic identity, meticulously developed by BrandMusiq, captures the essence of this powerful partnership.
For Jio BP, leveraging sound as a sensory engagement tool was a natural progression, given its unique blend of technological prowess and experiential expertise inherited from its parent companies. This innovative approach aims to resonate deeply with its customers and stakeholders.
“The MOGO will build on the core emotions of empathy, dynamism, and innovation, while expressing the confidence in leadership in the mobility solutions market. The sonic identity will become a valuable trademark overtime. It will reinforce trust and inspire loyalty among customers,” said Jio BP CEO HC Mehta.
BrandMusiq founder and soundsmith Rajeev Raja shared insights into the development of the sonic strategy for Jio BP: “It was truly a privilege to create the sonic identity for Jio BP. We recognized the fact that it was the coming together of two giants, India’s very own Jio from Reliance and the global leader, BP. The Sonic Identity created by BrandMusiq was very optimistic and future-forward even while building in the core emotions of empathy and caring. The sonic graph of the longer MOGOSCAPE expressed the scale, stature, and the soft power of the brand, while the MOGO or ‘musical logo’ summarised the confidence of a leader.”

The company has also been growing its presence across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa through esports tournaments, gaming festivals and fan conventions.
Nodwin Gaming co-founder and managing director Akshat Rathee, said Varma’s experience in building fan-centric platforms would play a key role in the company’s next phase of growth.
“Sonal brings a deep understanding of how live experiences can bring communities together around gaming and pop culture. As we expand our global live events footprint, her experience will help us create experiences that feel authentic and meaningful for audiences across markets,” he said.
Varma said the scale of opportunity at Nodwin Gaming made the move particularly exciting.

I’m looking forward to working with teams across the network to create live experiences that celebrate gaming culture while staying rooted in the communities that power it,” she said.
Over the past few years, Nodwin Gaming has built an ecosystem that stretches across competitive gaming, creator communities, music festivals and youth culture platforms. With Varma now leading global live events, the company is looking to further expand its flagship properties while experimenting with new formats that blend gaming, entertainment and fandom for audiences around the world.
