Brand Purpose
To reignite the romance and tradition of Indian sweets by making them relevant to the modern urban Indian. Anand Sweets sought to reclaim the cultural richness of mithai while elevating it for contemporary tastes. The vision was to refresh every consumer touchpoint, from packaging and in store experience to communication and brand programmes.

Brand Strategy
The strategy focused on re positioning Anand Sweets as a heritage led yet premium contemporary brand. We balanced long standing trust with modern sensibilities, ensuring relevance among younger urban audiences without alienating loyal patrons. A comprehensive identity overhaul created consistency across packaging, retail signage, and brand communication. Emotional storytelling around celebration, authenticity, and craftsmanship became central, helping the brand stand apart in a crowded market.

 

Brand Positioning

Anand Sweets is positioned as a premium Indian sweets brand rooted in tradition and elevated for modern lifestyles. The brand stands for purity, craftsmanship, and heritage, while seamlessly fitting into contemporary gifting and celebratory occasions.


The Big Idea
The central idea, The Taste of Royalty, was designed to revive the grandeur and nostalgia associated with Indian sweets. Drawing from royal Indian heritage, it transforms everyday mithai into an indulgent, celebratory experience. The Seal of Royalty was introduced as a distinctive brand property that signifies authenticity and uncompromising quality.
