    Devyani Food unveils digital video commercials for new INFINO icecream

    Mumbai: Devyani Food Industries Ltd (DFIL), a part of the RJ Corp group, has introduced INFINO, a premium ice cream brand, exclusively in five key markets: Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Bangalore. As part of this launch, DFIL has revealed two digital video commercials (DVC), which effectively encapsulates INFINO’s identity as a premium ice cream brand, prepared to satisfy a diverse range of taste preferences.

    The DVC’s unfolds the narrative of a premium ice cream, crafted with real chocolate, enhancing the consumer’s experience to extraordinary levels. It underscores that relishing this exquisite indulgence will evoke a heightened sensation of pleasure.

    Team Liqvd Asia, renowned for its innovative approach to marketing and storytelling, has conceptualised the DVC’s, ensuring that every frame resonates with the unique selling proposition of INFINO. The creative team behind this visual spectacle includes director and director of photography – Jay Bhansali and conceptualised by team Liqvd Asia. Their collaborative efforts have resulted in two DVC’s that are not only visually compelling but also align seamlessly with the premium positioning of the INFINO brand.

    Commenting on the DVC launch, DFIL CEO Sudhir Chavan remarked, “Brand INFINO is an embodiment of elegance and exquisite taste. With the brand’s launch, our aim was to redefine the ice cream landscape, offering a sensory journey that transcends consumer expectations. With our brand films the objective was clear – we need to depict the essence of indulgence, decadence and sophistication, thereby showing the world our brand’s unique offering and superior quality. We believe this launch will not only redefine ice cream experience for consumers but also set new standards for premium offering in the Indian market. Selecting digital launch for both our “brand films” was a strategic decision rooted in the dynamic landscape of consumer engagement. In a world where digital platforms are omnipresent, we aimed for a wide impact with our target audience across platforms and markets. The films that we have released embodies our brand ethos and communicates how the brand and products are perceived.”

    Liqvd Asia head of creative services, Sunil Gangras added, “When we were thinking about manifesting the magic of INFINO in the creative expression, we wanted to disrupt the premium segment with a product that not only smacks of elitism but also is dazzlingly different in every aspect of design, and we wanted to dial up indulgence in every frame and every conversation. Our single-minded proposition was to establish INFINO as an ‘Out of this world’ brand and hence, we gave it a creative spin by creating its own universe of delight and decadence. This was achieved through a narrative that landed right on the discerning taste buds. Our creative strategy was crafted in a way that makes INFINO drool-worthy and desirable enough to drive trials for this premium ice-cream brand and make a dent in the universe.”

    The DVC’s follow the launch of INFINO in major cities, and with Liqvd Asia at the creative helm, DFIL aims to strengthen the brand’s positioning in the premium ice cream segment. The film is poised to enhance consumer awareness and reinforce INFINO’s commitment to delivering an unparalleled ice cream experience.

    Jiva Ayurveda director Madhusudan Chauhan said: “For the last 27 years, Jiva Ayurveda has always adopted a participative approach, empowering and educating people on ways to adopt a healthier lifestyle with Ayurveda.  Greater awareness of the true powers of Ayurveda and debunking the Generation Z’s perception of it as a nostalgic grandma’s ‘shehat ke nushkhe’ is crucial in completely redefining the concept of preventive healthcare, especially in the post-epidemic world.”

    He further elaborated, “With more and more people depending upon social and digital channels, Jiva will build upon its already existing strength to broaden that community fulfilling its vision of a healthier, happier society and becoming the voice of ‘evidence-based, data-driven science’ pioneered at our company. Ayurveda is India’s priceless gift to the world, and more people not only need to know of it, but also apply it in their day-to-day lives. LIQVD ASIA ’s vision aligns with Jiva’s on that matter, and we are confident that this collaboration will take Ayurveda to every home, every phone, every heart!” 

    LIQVD ASIA COO Tanushree Radhakrishnan said, “Jiva through its services and wellness products has been working on bringing about a change through Ayurveda in the realm of education, health and culture and we are happy to partner with them. The ideology of Jiva, to make Ayurveda a way of life is something I personally relate to and hence this win is more fulfilling”.

    The creative scope of work for LIQVD ASIA would be to unearth the science and beauty of Ayurveda and get people excited about the myriad products and exemplary services that Jiva has to offer. LIQVD ASIA has been consistent in elevating its brands across digital platforms and would ensure that Jiva becomes synonymous with authentic and contemporary Ayurveda.
