Transforming a brand’s impression from affordable, traditional & ordinary to
aspirational, contemporary & high-quality…

Founded way back in 1933, Dinshaw's Dairy Foods is one of Central India's most iconic brands. As the brand
looked to scale its presence nationally, we partnered with it to transform its impression from regional,
affordable, and traditional, to contemporary and aspirational.
We anchored our strategy in the brand's commitment to the goodness of thought and action, and evolved a
robust packaging system to unify its rapidly growing portfolio spanning 5 product categories, 30+ sub-
categories, and 15 sub-brands while still maintaining the uniqueness of each.
Our design effort enabled Dinshaw’s to reinvent itself in a cluttered industry and leverage brand strength to
stop its products from competing at sub-category and product variant levels. It also helped the brand drive
efficiencies in marketing and packaging spends.

“Working with the Lokusdesign team has been a creative and a beautiful journey. We
collaborated with Lokusdesign to redefine and bring a sharper, more strategic focus to
Dinshaw's' brand strategy and architecture. This lead to a robust packaging design system
unifying Dinshaws diverse and rapidly growing portfolio. The new design has contributed to
Dinshaw leveraging its brand strength. To a certain extent, it has also helped in driving
efficiencies in the overall packaging spends. The team has the capacity to listen & observe
well before putting in their word. It provides a sense of working comfort, which is an absolute
must to deliver great work.”
