Tedhe Medhe goes viral with a reel-y snackable content masterclass
MUMBAI: What do you get when a snack brand embraces meme culture, musical flair, and internet spontaneity? A full-blown digital dhamaka, that’s what. Bingo! Tedhe Medhe’s latest campaign, Sabkajawaabtedhemedhe, has turned into one of the biggest organic internet moments of the year, proving that the best marketing isn’t always cooked up in a boardroom, sometimes it’s born in a spontaneous Instagram reel.
The spark? A reel by creator Deepankar Koshta casually declaring, “Tedhe Medhe bhi acche lagte hain.” With over 3 million organic views, the line struck a chord. Sensing its viral potential, Bingo! responded not with a brand plug, but a personal touch, a Tedhe Medhe hamper and handwritten note prompting 7 plus organic follow-up reels and another 1.5 million views.
Then came the beat drop. Bingo! roped in music producer Anshuman Sharma, turning the catchphrase into an irresistibly quirky anthem. The result? A social media juggernaut with over 68 million views, 122k shares, and 3.5x engagement compared to the brand’s regular content making it Bingo!’s second-most shared post ever.
The virality spiced up further when content creator Parveen Sharma crafted a meme-dance routine to the anthem, clocking 44 million views and 225k shares breaking records to become the brand’s most shared content to date.
Not one to miss a beat, Bingo! then launched the SabkaJawaabTedheMedhe contest with comedian Satish Ray, asking users to respond to life’s oddball questions using Deepankar’s reel audio. The challenge garnered over 1.7 million views, 14k shares, and hundreds of user remixes.
The ripple effect snowballed with influencers like Purav Jha and even brands like Swiggy joining in. Daily meme-style posts generated between 1.4 to 5 million views each. In total, the campaign racked up over 112 million views, 21 million in reach, and nearly 1 million engagements all largely organic.
More than just a quirky campaign, Bingo!’s digital blitz shows how embracing real-time culture, giving credit to creators, and speaking the internet’s native language can turn a single unscripted moment into a nationwide snack sensation.
Because in the age of reels and relatability Tedhe is the new straight.

Emami names Dhruv Aggarwal as chief growth officer
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.
Academically, Aggarwal holds an MBA from Indian Institute of Management Bangalore and has also been associated with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as a PhD candidate and teaching assistant.
The appointment comes at a time when Emami Limited is looking to sharpen its growth strategy in a competitive consumer market. With a seasoned strategist now at the helm of growth, the company appears set to double down on transformation and expansion in the months ahead.
