When Tata Tea acquired Rajasthan’s beloved Lal Ghoda-Kala Ghoda, the challenge wasn’t just about selling tea—it was about seamlessly becoming a part of the region’s cultural fabric. Rajasthan is steeped in tradition, where relationships aren’t just bonds; they are a lifelong exchange of honor, duty, and warmth. Understanding this, we didn’t just conduct interviews; we immersed ourselves in the state’s way of life. We sat in homes, observed family gatherings, and listened to the unspoken rules of hospitality where serving tea wasn’t just a routine but an act of respect.
Through our deep dive, we uncovered the intricate codes of relationships—how a daughter-in-law earns her place in the family through shared rituals, how married daughters cherish their ties with their maiden homes, and how cousins, in-laws, and extended families are bound by hospitality. These dynamics, subtle yet powerful, shaped the way tea was consumed and shared.
To bring this insight to life, we crafted a brand narrative that was deeply rooted in Rajasthan’s social traditions. Using a blend of rich visuals, evocative storytelling, and symbolic cues, we helped shape a communication strategy that resonated with the cultural depth of the region.
The result? A campaign that didn’t just market a tea brand but wove Tata Tea into the rituals and relationships that define Rajasthan—where every sip carried the essence of tradition, belonging, and honor.
