Elephant Design helped them create Granamma - a brand offering authentic flavors with superior quality.
South Indian meals crave those crispy accompaniments, but busy lives mean corner store snacks. Often unbranded, hygiene becomes a concern. Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting saw an opportunity here.
Consequently, we at Elephant Design helped them create Granamma - a brand offering authentic flavors with superior quality. Our design? A clean identity with a banana leaf motif, a signature-like font for grandma's touch, and a dynamic "snackfall" showcasing abundance and texture. Granamma's packaging tackles freshness & hygiene concerns, bringing traditional snacking into a modern, organized form. Keep an eye out on your nearest retail shelves for a glimpse!

We were thrilled to partner with Hedso Health and Wellness on their bold new venture, hoop.
We were thrilled to partner with Hedso Health and Wellness on their bold new venture, hoop. Hoop is designed for the modern millennial who prioritizes proactive healthcare and "being the best version of themselves." Inspired by the word "Hoop" itself, our brand identity is formed via overlapping "O"s, suggesting movement and flow, while the approachable font fosters connection. We ditched the tired "problem + solution" formula and focused on positive imagery, reflecting the brand's emphasis on proactive wellness. Deep teal is an unconventional, yet ownable color choice within the category, while metallic accents convey efficacy. Hoop has been met with incredible praise, proving that well-being can be stylish, engaging, and effective. We're proud to be a part of this innovative journey!

At the ADI Pune Premier League our team DesignTuskers won the championship
Winning is sweeter when you are an #underdog!
It isn’t rare for us to get an award in design. But this one is for India's most loved sport, #cricket! 🏏
At the #ADI Pune Premier League for design & creative agencies, our team #DesignTuskers won the championship among 18 mixed teams (with at least 2 women a side). We played 4 matches and emerged as unbeaten #champions.
Because 🏆 Winners Take It All 🏆 we also came home with accolades for #BestBowler #BestBatsman #BestFielder #BestAllrounder and #HighestScorers of the tournament.
We experienced how it feels to have no one but your own team supporting you when every other noise at the stadium is rooting for the other team. We experienced holding on to each other when things don't go as planned. And then we shared the sheer joy of that winning moment against all odds.
While being the best at what we do, we also realise the importance of making time to enjoy the little wonders that life offers.

Elephant Design forays into creating its first 360-degree immersive experience with IN5: bringing The Vatican to life in Los Angeles for IN5. We crafted a multi-sensorial experience with several key areas, bringing the awe-inspiring architecture and craftsmanship of the Vatican to life for those who cannot physically visit or revisit the space via an array of VR/AR tech and more. Our team developed a visual identity, language and communication system that merged the ancient with the modern with engraved imagery, rock cut/wood cut, and linocuts blended with modern Technicolor. Here's to traversing new realities; one cultural experience at a time!
