Mumbai: realme smartphone service provider announced their new slogan ‘Make it real’ in an open letter, Sky Li, Founder and CEO of realme, emphasised that this year will redefine realme’s brand standards. The letter highlights realme’s new mission, brand positioning, and spirit. Transitioning from an “opportunity-oriented” to a “brand-oriented” approach, realme is shifting its focus towards becoming a tech brand that resonates with young users.
A tech brand that better understands young users
Since its inception, realme has established its position with development strategy: to bring technologies and designs to young users worldwide. The brand aims to connect with more young users across various markets, leveraging its recognition among this demographic to elevate its standards even higher.
Building on five years of success, realme is broadening its scope rather than changing direction. Leveraging its deep understanding of young users and steering the company’s development, realme is transitioning its strategy from trendy-based to a more inclusive and expansive one. This will steer its long-term investment and growth, enabling the brand to enhance its connection with a larger number of young users across various markets and global regions.
As such, realme’s mission is to more concisely capture its future development aspirations: “To let young users around the world enjoy tech experiences that exceed expectations.” With increased focus and ambition, realme is poised to explore new possibilities and make breakthroughs.
From “opportunity-oriented” to “brand-oriented”
realme places the youth at its core and adheres to a user-centric approach, driving its competitiveness in three areas: product, technology, and brand strengths. This ideology will guide realme towards achieving long-term, high-quality growth.
By planning to partner with over 30 leading tech companies and investing heavily in R&D in 2024, realme aims to bring the latest technology to its users. The brand aims to refine its customer insight process for a more dynamic experience. Focusing on the younger generation, realme will integrate user insights into ongoing brand and product development, creating a fluid and multi-dimensional brand experience.
realme’s focus on product, technology, and brand strengths allows the brand to bring the latest technological advances directly to young users. This approach transforms its positioning as a tech brand that better understands young users from an idea into reality.
Moreover, realme has also introduced a new slogan: “Make it real” that retains the spirit of “Dare to Leap” while placing greater emphasis on young users, aiming to bring real, clear, and tangible benefits to their lives.
As it moves into the next five years, realme pledges to stay true to its original intentions and grow alongside young people, aiming to be a tech brand that better understands their needs and aspirations to make it real

Former Bain partner steps in as FMCG firm sharpens growth playbook
MUMBAI: Emami Limited has appointed Dhruv Aggarwal as its chief growth officer, effective 25 March 2026, following the resignation of Giriraj Bagri.
Aggarwal joins the FMCG major from Bain & Company, where he most recently served as partner. With over two decades of experience across consulting and strategy, he brings a global perspective shaped by work across India, the US, the UK and Germany.
During his tenure at Bain, Aggarwal advised consumer, retail and media companies on large-scale transformations, business turnarounds and growth strategies. He was also closely involved with India’s startup ecosystem, guiding early-stage ventures on scaling and digital expansion, while supporting private equity and venture capital firms on investment decisions.
His earlier stints include a brief role at Barclays Capital and operational experience at Jindal Power, giving him a mix of financial and industry exposure.
