Mumbai: Goafest returns back once again! For advertising and media businesses, it is one of the important celebrations. 15 years of Goafest is truly a special milestone. What makes it more special is that it is being celebrated after a gap of two years. Many have braved the hard times as it got affected due to covid pandemic.
The pandemic brought forth the superpower within each one of us. When we thought we were down and out, we were compelled to dig deeper and find courage and resilience. Not just people, businesses discovered their own unbeatable spirit to survive and thrive, so did governments and countries. Now, it is time to acknowledge this power within each one of us that makes us unique, that enables us to face challenges with ease and helps us make the world a better place. It is time to celebrate “The Superpower Within”.

Symphonies Life ditches plain sleep pitch, rebrands bedtime as a lifestyle with Volume
MUMBAI: Sleep is no longer just something you fall into. It’s now something you buy into. Symphonies Life has unveiled a fresh brand identity that signals a shift from product to philosophy—from mattress to mindful ritual. And leading the rebranding charge is creative agency Volume.
Announced on 23 June 2025, the overhaul is built on the narrative of ‘engineering better sleep for a more conscious lifestyle’. From wave-like visual metaphors to motion-inspired branding that breathes rhythm and calm, the identity leans into the science and soul of sleep.
Volume created a modern, minimalistic visual language that reflects stillness and serenity, anchoring the brand in experiences rather than just specifications. Across POS displays, social content, packaging, influencer kits, and experience zones, Symphonies Life now speaks in a consistent tone of calm.
“We wanted to go beyond just being another mattress in the market. With Volume, we were able to build a brand that speaks to a more conscious, wellness-focused consumer”, said Symphonies Life CEO Shivans Agarwaal. “Sleep is personal, emotional, and essential, and our new identity finally does justice to that philosophy”.
“Symphonies Life is no longer just a product you buy, it’s a ritual you invest in. Our role was to balance commercial intent with emotional resonance. Every element, from brand voice to visual rhythm, was crafted to elevate sleep into the lifestyle space”, added Volume brand director Rishabh Srivastava.
The D2C strategy ties together intuitive packaging with immersive storytelling, reinforcing the brand’s push to carve out space in the wellness economy. With a design-led, emotionally charged refresh, Symphonies Life is positioning itself as a serious player in the premium sleep market.
