    The Sleep Co scores big with Mumbai Indians partnership

    MUMBAI: In a knockout collaboration that’s set to change the game, The Sleep Co  (TSC) has been named the Official Comfort Partner for Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2025 campaign, bringing a  nice twist to athletic performance.
    The brand’s latest campaign “Jam ke soyenge, tabhi toh jam ke dhoyenge” (loosely translated: “Sleep hard to play harder”), isn’t just another marketing gimmick.

    A recent survey revealed that 86 per cent of athletes swear by pre-match naps, believing they’re the secret sauce to peak performance. Further, studies suggest that quality sleep plays a vital role in physical and mental well-being and increased cognitive flexibility. 

    Through this association, TSC wants to bring to the fore the role of peaceful sleep in achieving success in everyday life. Sleeping well prior to the night of a big day is what fuels present-moment awareness and confidence, leading to victory and the making of legends. 

    TSC co-founder Priyanka Salot quipped, “Mumbai Indians is one of the favourite teams among cricket fans. Associating with a team that inspires millions with its winning spirit, solidifies our position as a performance-driven comfort brand. For cricketers and athletes who always stay in the canopy of fitness, ultimate recovery starts with resting and sleeping well. Through this campaign, we want to communicate to the people that striking a right balance between effort and recovery leads to assured success.”

    The partnership aims to spotlight the often-overlooked MVP (most valuable player) of athletic prowess: quality shut-eye.

    ” As India’s most beloved sport, cricket serves as the perfect platform to bring people’s attention to the often-overlooked role of quality sleep in life,” said TSC chief marketing officer Ripal Chopda. “Rest and recovery aren’t just important to perform well on a cricket field, they are important for every individual – be it in sports, work or life. We aim to inspire people to take their health seriously and prioritise peaceful sleep which can boost their overall productivity and efficiency.” 

    The brand has launched an exclusive digital film featuring an anthem that’s part battle cry, part lullaby. 

    Steve Priya  chief creative officer Priya Pardiwalla noted: “Most IPL films are all about high energy, high action, and high intensity. But what if fans saw their favourite cricketers in a way they’ve never seen before – fast asleep. Our goal was to carve out a distinct tone and voice, ensuring both the brand and category stood out in the noise, despite the challenges. More importantly, we wanted to remind audiences of a simple yet powerful truth: peaceful sleep has the power to elevate performance, sharpening both what you do and how well you do it.”

    Fans can now splurge on exclusive Mumbai Indians merchandise, from mattresses to ergonomic chairs that’ll make working from home feel like a winning streak.

    Who knew sleep could be the ultimate game-changer? 

    The Sleep Co, that’s who.

This made TSC the first mattress brand in India to undertake such a significant giveaway, highlighting its commitment to improving sleep health.

    The campaign began in Bengaluru and quickly expanded to Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Chennai due to enthusiastic response. With careful planning and engagement of 100 influencers, the event on 31 August raised awareness about quality sleep while providing mattresses.

    TSC’s patented SmartGRID technology underscored its mission to enhance well-being across the country. As TSC reflected on this success, it looked forward to innovative products and potential international expansion, continuing its journey toward a well-rested nation.

    Indiantelevision’s Suman Baidh caught up with The Sleep Company CMO Ripal Chopda to discuss the innovative strategies behind their landmark giveaway campaign, the impact of customer trust on their growth, and the exciting plans for future product launches and international expansion.

    On the planning process behind this massive giveaway,  the key challenges and overcoming them

    We initially rolled out our giveaway campaign in Bengaluru, as it was the city where we began our offline journey. The enthusiastic and overwhelming response from customers in Bengaluru motivated us to expand the campaign on a much larger scale. This inspired us to take on the ambitious task of executing a giveaway worth Rs 1 crore—one of the biggest giveaway initiatives across the country that was aimed at rewarding our customers and strengthening our brand presence.

    To take this campaign to new heights, we selected the top four metro cities: Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Chennai, ensuring we reached key markets where we had a growing customer base. In each city, we carefully chose four strategic locations to maximize engagement and outreach. Planning for such a large-scale campaign required a month of thorough preparation, coordination, and strategy to ensure every detail was executed flawlessly.

    On 31 August, the giveaway was successfully conducted across all four cities, marking a significant milestone for us. To further enhance the campaign’s impact, we gave away pillows to customers as part of the giveaway. We also engaged 100 influencers across the four cities to amplify the campaign on social media, driving buzz and excitement among their followers. In addition to digital efforts, we leveraged traditional print media to directly reach city residents and create awareness about the giveaway in the lead-up to the event.

    On the most surprising reaction that received during the campaign

    The response in Bangalore was truly astounding, and the entire campaign was full of pleasant surprises. One of the most unexpected reactions was the overwhelming turnout—seeing over 1,200 people eagerly lining up outside the store since midnight was incredible. What surprised us even more was the sheer speed at which the giveaway unfolded. The entire offer was claimed within just 45 minutes! Given that this was our first giveaway campaign, every aspect, from the turnout to the energy, exceeded our expectations and left us thrilled.

    On customer trust influencing the pace and direction of your brand’s growth and any stories or customer feedback that stand out in this journey

    Our rapid expansion, achieving the milestone of 100 COCO stores in just two years, is a direct result of the trust our customers have placed in us. Their love for our brand and products has been truly remarkable. Our patented SmartGRID technology has made a lasting impact, and the positive response has inspired us to do even more for the people of India, helping them sleep and sit better. The greatest reward of our efforts comes from customer testimonials, with many sharing how our products have alleviated back pain, improved sleep quality, and even resolved health issues.

    From the beginning, we’ve prioritised building strong relationships with our customers by delivering innovative, high-quality products paired with exceptional service. This deep customer confidence has not only driven our growth but also guided us in refining our offerings and expanding our reach. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to delivering on our promise of superior sleep solutions and enhancing the well-being of our customers across India.

    On the factors that enable this campaign to go beyond selling mattresses and actively contributing to improving sleep health in India

    Since its inception, our mission has been to help people sleep and sit better across the country. With this large-scale campaign, we continue to fulfil our mission. By giving away our mattresses to our customers we have created awareness about the importance of experiencing a world-class mattress. Given that, we spend two-thirds of our lives on mattresses it is crucial that customers experience our mattresses and use them and realise how our patented  SmartGRID technology can create a difference in their lives, and improve the overall health of individuals. Through this initiative, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of quality sleep and the role our products play in enhancing sleep health.

    On the next big dream for The Sleep Company and any hints on future campaigns or products

    Expanding the love and trust of our customers continues to be our dream and motivation. Technology is at the heart of our company, and we will continue to launch innovative products that help people in India sleep and sit better. We have many exciting developments in the pipeline, including the introduction of AI-integrated products designed to enhance sleep quality. Additionally, we plan to expand beyond India, starting with the United Kingdom. We are investing in identifying the right product-market fit there, and if successful, this will open doors for further expansion into other European and North American markets.
