    Maaza celebrates everyday wins with new AI-powered digital platform

    MUMBAI: In a world obsessed with big wins, Maaza just hit refresh by bottling up life’s tiniest triumphs with a mango twist. Maaza, Coca-Cola India’s beloved homegrown mango drink, is sweetening everyday life with its new digital platform, “Meri Chhoti Waali Jeet”, an AI-powered celebration of the little wins that often slip under the radar. Whether it’s nailing that elusive recipe, finishing a book you started last year, or finally fixing that leaky tap, Maaza thinks it deserves a round of applause and a sip of mango joy.

    Developed by Ogilvy India, the campaign invites users to upload a photo and describe their proud “chhoti jeet” moment. In return, the platform creates a custom Maaza-style animated video, turning mundane Mondays into mango-minted memories ripe for sharing online.

    The campaign is a juicy follow-up to Maaza’s repositioning earlier this year as a reward for small, impromptu wins, tapping into a generation that seeks joy in the now. And who better to embody that vibe than real-life couple Genelia and Riteish Deshmukh, who lead the campaign with tales of parenting highs, creative pursuits, and everyday magic.

    “For me, teaching my kids a new dance step or finally finishing a painting is the real win,” said Genelia, calling the campaign “a sweet way to celebrate victories that mean everything, even if they look like nothing.”

    Riteish agreed: “Learning a football trick or nailing a dish at home feels like a gold medal moment. Maaza gets that. It’s about lifting spirits, not just glasses.”

    Backed by OpenX from WPP, the platform reflects what Ogilvy India CCO Sukesh Nayak calls “a digital ode to the ordinary.” It’s storytelling with soul and a splash of Alphonso mango. Users have until 31 July to join the celebration and get their tiny triumphs animated into Maaza memories.

    Coca-Cola director of marketing & nutrition category, India & Southwest Asia, Ajay Konale summed it up best: “As our consumers’ digital lives evolve, Maaza evolves with them celebrating not just the big chapters, but the small footnotes that bring happiness.”

    From mini milestones to animated mementos, Maaza’s platform proves that life’s sweetest stories are often just one sip and one small win away.
