Fanta launches new campaign created by O&M
MUMBAI: Fruit-flavored carbonated soft drink from the Coca-Cola Company, Fanta, has unveiled its new campaign, ‘Taste that makes you jump‘.
The campaign has been conceptualised by Ogilvy & Mather.
Taking its ‘Zyada Fanta, Zyada Masti‘ campaign to the next level, the new 360-degree initiative christened, ‘Taste that makes you jump‘ is in line with the core brand image of Fanta – reminding consumers about its “great orangey, bubbly taste”.
The new campaign will reach out to youth through television ads, outdoor, radio, activation and social media.
Coca-Cola India and South West Asia VP-marketing Anupama Ahluwalia said, “Brand Fanta is known for its distinct playful imagery and its great ‘Orange‘ taste. Through the latest integrated marketing campaign, Fanta aims at inviting everyone to increase ‘Play‘ in their life. The communication also reminds the consumers to enjoy the magic of its delicious taste. Fanta has a unique place in the minds of consumers and through the launch of this campaign, we aim to further strengthen this connect.”
As a part of on-ground activation, Fanta will also engage with consumers at select locations in 42 cities across 10 States (Maharashtra, Punjab, Haryana, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Assam, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar). Fanta will be extending its new brand thought through a special experiential sampling initiative. As part of this initiative, consumers will get a taste of Fanta experience through interactive games.

Uidai partners with Google to help users locate Aadhaar centres
Verified Aadhaar centres to appear on Maps with services and access info
MUMBAI: Finding an Aadhaar centre may soon be as easy as finding your favourite café. In a move aimed at making public services more accessible, the Unique Identification Authority of India has partnered with Google to display authorised Aadhaar centres on Google Maps. The feature, expected to roll out in the coming months, will allow residents to locate verified centres quickly and confidently.
More than 60,000 Aadhaar centres, including state of the art Aadhaar Seva Kendras, will be mapped. When users search on Google Maps, they will be directed to authorised facilities rather than unverified listings, helping curb misinformation and confusion.
The listings will do more than drop a pin. Users will be able to see the nature of services offered at each centre, whether it is adult enrolment, child enrolment, or limited to address and mobile number updates. Details such as operating hours, parking availability and divyang friendly infrastructure will also be shown wherever applicable.
Uidai CEO Bhuvnesh Kumar, said the collaboration is part of the authority’s continued effort to improve ease of living for Aadhaar holders by making authorised centres simpler and faster to navigate.
The partnership will deepen in its next phase, with Uidai using Google Business Profile to manage information and respond directly to public feedback. Looking ahead, the two organisations are also exploring the option of enabling appointment bookings through the Google Maps interface, potentially allowing residents to plan their visits with greater efficiency.
Google India country head, strategic partnerships Roli Agarwal, said integrating verified Aadhaar centres would help millions access trusted services with confidence, bringing essential government infrastructure closer to the people who need it most.
If all goes to plan, a routine Aadhaar update may soon begin not with a queue, but with a search bar.
