MUMBAI: NourishCo Beverages, the JV between Tata Global Beverages and PepsiCo India, has awarded its creative duties to two Dentsu Group companies, Taproot India and Dentsu Marcom, following a multi-agency pitch.
NourishCo has three brands: Tata Gluco+ (a glucose based drink), Himalayan Natural Mineral Water and Tata Water Plus (nutrient Water). The two agencies will be jointly handling the creatives for all three brands.
NourishCo Beverages chief executive officer and managing director Pratik Pota said, “NourishCo is excited to have appointed the Dentsu-Taproot combine as our creative agency. We were impressed with their understanding of the brief and strategic approach at the pitch process.”

First, this is a great opportunity for the Dentsu Group to partner NourishCo on their exciting new phase of growth in India. Second, it’s the first pitch where Taproot and a Dentsu group company have collaborated. This win strengthens my belief that we have a winning model at work. Third, this win strengthens our group’s relationship with PepsiCo, India.”
“We are happy to have won the account. This will be the first time that Dentsu and Taproot will come together as a team. We have great faith that through our combined strengths in creative and planning we will be able to associate closely with the brand and explore ways to communicate the brand promise / benefit of ‘Nutrient Water’,” Taproot India’s co-founder Agnello Dias added.

Rising living costs, longer financial responsibilities, and changing household structures are reshaping how Indian families plan for long-term financial security. In this shifting environment, life insurance is increasingly being viewed as a core part of structured financial planning rather than an optional protection tool.
Securing Your Family’s Finances with Life Insurance
Life insurance plays a role in family financial planning by supporting income continuity and long‑term financial responsibilities in the event of an unexpected loss. With this coverage amount, the family can continue to maintain their daily needs, fund children’s education, repay debts, and meet other financial obligations.
Beyond basic financial protection, life insurance has expanded to support long‑term planning objectives, helping families manage education costs, liabilities, and continuity of income.
Retirement Benefits with Life Insurance
As India’s workforce becomes more conscious of post‑retirement income security, life insurance is increasingly linked with retirement planning. Regular income options integrated into insurance products are being viewed to reduce dependence on external support systems later in life.
Save your Income Tax with Life Insurance
Tax efficiency remains one of the reasons families factor life insurance into financial planning, as it continues to be recognised under prevailing tax provisions as a long‑term savings and protection tool.
Policy Flexibility and Early Adoption Trends
Early adoption and flexible policy design have also contributed to growing relevance, as insurers respond to broader financial planning needs across different life stages.
How Life Insurance is Evolving for Family Financial Planning
- Easier Digital Access
Purchasing a life insurance policy no longer involves loads of paperwork, multiple visits to the insurance office, etc. With online options, purchasing and managing life insurance policies has become much easier.
You can compare various insurance plans online, get instant quotes for premiums, opt for paperless documentation, and avail of faster claim settlements. This also helps maintain transparency among policyholders.
- Growing Popularity of Term Insurance
Term insurance plans are becoming more popular because of their high coverage and affordability. This shift reflects a growing preference for high‑coverage, cost‑efficient protection aligned with practical family responsibilities.
- Focus on Long-term Family Goals
As financial planning becomes more structured and long‑term in nature, life insurance is increasingly viewed as foundational rather than supplementary. Its role in addressing income continuity, long‑term obligations, and evolving family needs explains why relevance continues to grow in today’s planning conversations.
