PUMA goes gully centric in new music video
MUMBAI: Sportswear brand PUMA has launched its new music video pioneering the largest movement in street culture in the country. Titled ‘Suede Gully’, this is the first time a global brand has launched a multi-lingual music video in India, giving this channel for consumer engagement a fresh spin.
The video is a large-scale collaboration between a new breed of artists, musicians and dancers, whose work is inspired from the stories ingrained in the streets of India. In another first for a global consumer brand, this music video is coloured in local flavours, features multiple Indian languages and celebrates the culture germinating from Indian streets.
This collaboration gives a single, creative stage for self-expression to these artists, who come from “gullies” across the country. Featuring eight rappers, 36 dancers, seven artists and countless creators, Suede Gully is the largest street collaboration that brings out the true essence of the streets of India in its most musical, colourful and rebellious manner.
Shot in gullies across all regions of India, the video features leading street artists Divine, Mukti Mohan and Shilo Shiv Suleiman. The music video has been directed by Sasha Rainbow and the music has been composed by Sneha Khanwalkar. With lyrics in four different Indian languages, it adds to the local flavor and serves as a medium to popularize Indian street culture. This video is a celebration of street art in the purest form, bringing out the passion, the determination, the resourcefulness and grit of each artist.
PUMA India MD Abhishek Ganguly says, “The Suede Gully is an authentic music video that connects with the audience with its super cool street swagger. Suede Gully is something new and unique, serving as a single platform for self-expression to a number of independent, determined artists who live their passion and hustle to achieve their goals.”

Instamart and Go Zero bring LED fridge ad to print
Hindustan Times readers see light-up fridge page in interactive first
MUMBAI: The morning paper just got a little cooler quite literally. In a twist on traditional print, Instamart and Go Zero have introduced what they describe as a first-of-its-kind newspaper execution, turning a routine page flip into a sensory experience. Readers of Hindustan Times were greeted with a spread designed like a refrigerator. As the page opened, an embedded LED light flicked on mimicking the familiar fridge-door moment revealing an Instamart delivery partner holding a tub of Go Zero ice cream.
Developed in partnership with Havas India, the campaign moves beyond conventional print innovations such as scent strips or foldouts. Here, the LED is not a gimmick layered on top but a core part of the storytelling, recreating a behaviour most readers instinctively recognise.
The creative ties together the central promises of both brands: Instamart’s instant delivery and Go Zero’s “guilt-free” indulgence. The act of opening a fridge becomes a metaphor for spontaneous craving and immediate fulfilment.
Swiggy head of brand Mayur Hola said the idea was to make print participative rather than passive. By tapping into muscle memory like reaching into a fridge, the campaign aims to bridge everyday behaviour with brand recall.
Go Zero founder Kiran Shah highlighted the spontaneity of ice cream consumption, noting that the concept captures the exact moment of impulse discovery. Meanwhile, Havas Media India and Havas Play COO Uday Mohan described the effort as an attempt to blur the lines between media and experience.
The execution reflects a broader push by Instamart to reimagine traditional formats, making even legacy media like print interactive in an age dominated by digital engagement.
In a medium often accused of losing relevance, this campaign flips the script, one illuminated page at a time.
