ITC urges consumers to munch on Bingo! during Dream11 IPL
DELHI: Snacking enhances everyday moments and cricket fans love to munch on something while they are watching their favourite sport. Bingo! is the preferred snacking choice of millions of Indians, elevating their experience while they are glued to their screens from the comfort of their homes.
The brand has crafted a new campaign which captures the association of Bingo! with match time in a fun and quirky way while reminding the consumers to grab a pack of their favourite snack as the match ‘starts’.
Known for its distinct, clutter-breaking, youth-centric, witty communication, the new campaign ‘Match Start, Bingo! Start’ takes the consumers on an enthralling journey of a cricket fan who would drop whatever they are doing, the moment they hear a match ‘start’ to be glued to their screens while munching on Bingo!. Be it a romantic proposal, a youthful flirting moment, a friendly shoulder lent to clean the fan at home or a dentist ready to work on his patient’s teeth, everything takes a back seat when the match ‘starts’. With the start of every match, munching on their favourite Bingo! snack has to start.
Commenting on the campaign, ITC Foods spokesperson said, "Cricket in India is an extravaganza that brings individuals together from all walks of life to enjoy and experience an exciting game. At Bingo! our focus is to keep the fun and quirk alive in the lives of consumers. We hope that fans and consumers would enjoy the line-up of enlivening and fun-filled communication Bingo! has in store for the upcoming cricketing season. This year, fans will experience cricket differently, where their homes will turn into a virtual stadium while they enjoy every moment of the match on their screens. We, at Bingo! wanted to remind them of the lip-smacking experience they can enjoy within the safe confines of their homes, without losing out on their spirits, snacks or fun.”
The campaign will be broadcast across television and digital media.

Mother’s Recipe launches Summerwala Sharbat range
Five nostalgic flavours priced at Rs 215 aim to tap summer refreshment demand.
MUMBAI: Call it a sip of summer nostalgia, Mother’s Recipe is bottling childhood memories and pouring them back into the present. The homegrown ethnic food brand has introduced its Summerwala Sharbat range, a five-flavour line-up designed to recreate the familiar tastes and rituals of Indian summers, while catering to modern consumption habits. The range features Mango Panna, Rose Syrup, Jeera Masala Syrup, Khus Syrup and Lemon Ginger Squash, each rooted in flavours that have long defined seasonal refreshment across Indian households. From the tang of raw mango to the cooling comfort of khus, the portfolio leans heavily into recall, not reinvention.
At a time when brands are increasingly leaning on nostalgia as a strategic lever, Mother’s Recipe is positioning Summerwala Sharbat as both a functional beverage and an emotional cue. The idea is simple: revive the small, everyday rituals post-play drinks, family gatherings, the clink of ice in a glass that once defined summer afternoons.
The products are packaged in 750 ml PET bottles and priced at Rs 215, targeting both routine household consumption and social occasions. Distribution spans leading e-commerce platforms as well as select offline retail outlets.
Mother’s Recipe executive director Sanjana Desai said the intent was to bring back flavours tied to “taste, routine and home”, while making them relevant for today’s consumers.
The move reflects a broader shift in the beverages market, where heritage-led storytelling and familiarity are increasingly being used to stand out in a crowded, innovation-heavy category.
With Summerwala Sharbat, Mother’s Recipe isn’t just selling a drink, it’s selling a season, one glass at a time.
