    Complan hits the right note with Zepto through iconic jingle comeback

    MUMBAI: Who knew adding a nutrition drink to your online cart could spark a singalong? Zydus Wellness has brought back the legendary ‘I am a Complan Boy / Complan Girl’ jingle, turning it into a sonic surprise for Zepto users. Now, every time shoppers add Complan to their basket, they’re greeted with the nostalgic audio cue, blending childhood memory with modern-day quick commerce.

    But this isn’t just a sentimental throwback. In today’s scroll-fast, tap-quick economy, brands have barely seconds to grab attention. By weaving its jingle into the very moment of purchase, Complan is making sure it’s not just another product on a crowded app shelf,  it’s a tune you can’t shake off.

    Zydus Wellness CEO & w holetime director Tarun Arora explained: “As digital habits evolve, brands must embed themselves in more intuitive ways. This is not just about reviving a jingle, but restoring identity and emotional connection in a transactional space. Complan has always stood for care and trust now we’re carrying that into Q-commerce with meaning that lasts beyond the tap.”

    Globally, sonic branding has found success among digital-first brands, but Complan is among the first legacy nutritional drink powders in India to embed an audio cue directly into Q-commerce platforms. The strategy strengthens recall in environments where traditional ads are invisible.

    Zepto chief brand and cultural officer Chandan Mendiratta called it a natural fit: “Every Complan order now becomes a moment of recognition, not just convenience. By embedding an iconic sonic signature, we’ve added a sensory layer to digital shopping making nourishment memorable.”

    Early signals suggest the experiment is striking the right chord. In a retail space dominated by speed and efficiency, Complan’s nostalgic notes could well prove its most powerful differentiator, ensuring the brand owns not just the shelf, but the soundtrack of shopping.

  • Zepto pads up for PMS with a comfort-first search that feels your feels

    Zepto pads up for PMS with a comfort-first search that feels your feels

    MUMBAI: Ever searched for “appraisal” and been served peanuts? Or typed “Prashant” only to get croissants? On Zepto, it wasn’t just a glitch, it became a vibe. What started as meme-worthy misfires on the quick commerce app’s search bar has quietly morphed into something far more meaningful: a barometer for mood, emotion and, now, premenstrual meltdowns.

    Zepto’s latest feature, the PMS Search Experience, is a dedicated landing page curated by the women of Zepto to tackle the monthly rollercoaster of premenstrual syndrome with empathy and humour. Typing “PMS” into the app now leads users not just to pads and painkillers, but to a digital moodboard of comfort: herbal teas, heating patches, chocolate bars, plush toys, aromatherapy, and even boxing gloves because some days, “ragey” needs a release.

    The page is cleverly divided into relatable moods Crampy, Ragey, Lazy, Irritated, Sad, and Hangry each with tailored product recommendations that promise to soothe, snack or simply see you.

    “We heard you. ‘PMS’ is now a search term on Zepto,” said Zepto chief brand and cultural officer Chandan Mendiratta “This wasn’t just about adding period care SKUs we built what we’re calling an emotion page. Something that mirrors the mental and physical state of our users, especially during tough days. We hope it brings comfort, even if you don’t buy anything. And I want to be clear: I won’t and shouldn’t take credit for this. This was built entirely by the women of Zepto. They get you.”

    The brand, which earlier launched the viral Period Box, seems to be on a roll when it comes to blending commerce with cultural context. In a world where search bars have long been functional, Zepto’s is slowly becoming emotional and refreshingly human.

    For anyone who’s ever searched “Monday blues” or “comfort food” and hoped for more than just items in a cart, this is Zepto quietly saying: we get you.
