  • Maharishi Ayurveda undergoes brand re-positioning

    By A Correspondent

     

    Maharishi Ayurveda has undergone a brand revamp exercise in partnership with Almond Branding that helped them refresh the brand to make it contemporary yet authentic.

     

    Said Shashwat Das, Founder, Almond Branding: “Ayurveda has always been intrinsic to Indian culture but has become far more relevant to consumer’s lives today. In the last decade or so, there has been an upheaval in the category. Maharishi Ayurveda has been a research-based organization using authentic ayurvedic formulations and methods to suit modern living conditions. Our brand immersion revealed that they looked at their offerings through windows of modern science to appreciate the holistic concepts that governed Ayurveda through centuries. Hence, our design solutions had to reflect the change from a dated brand to one that brings to life the values of authentic Ayurveda for a progressive lifestyle.”

     

    Added Ramesh Yadav, Global Marketing Head, Maharishi Ayurveda Products: “We wanted to re-look at our brand strategy that involved brand revamp and certain strategic priorities in terms of category choices with an objective of making Ayurveda relevant to today’s audience by listening to their needs and requirements. The idea was to reach out to those who are pre-disposed to natural, herbal and Ayurveda, however, may be fussy but are willing to explore the category/products that cater to their lifestyle-related health issues. Almond Branding helped us in the entire rebranding exercise from understanding the objectives to deriving meaningful insights. Distillation of research into one strong concept and designing strategy by Almond Branding were the most critical steps for making this happen. Coming up with packaging solutions which were aligned with the master brand philosophy yet contemporary was the most challenging part of the entire project which was tackled very well by team Almond.”

    Raktda from Maharishi Ayurveda has launched a new print campaign conceptualised by Grey.

     

    Said Ramesh Yadav, Global Head of marketing- Maharishi Ayurveda: “Iron supplements category has by and large operated at a functional level in India. We wanted to reposition the category and shift the focus of conversations from the product to the aspirations of women, thereby building stronger relevance and affinity for the brand in her life.”

     

    Addedd Ketan Desai, President and Growth Officer, Grey Group: “Raktda presented an exciting opportunity to create conversations around the importance of iron in our dietary regime. Given the lack of education around this category, we had a dual pronged challenge of creating condition awareness whilst keeping the aspirations and realities of today’s women at the center,”
