Badshah Masala takes you down memory lane with an all-new rendition of ‘Swaad Sugandh Ka Raja’ jingle

Badshah Masala is infusing fresh life into one of India’s most iconic jingles ‘Swaad Sugandh Ka Raja, Badshah Masala’. The brand launched a new, progressive version of the iconic jingle that will focus on different consumption occasions through the prism of family and the time spent with loved ones while retaining the essence of the original tune.

With Dabur acquiring the legacy brand last year, Badshah Masala has overhauled its product range and has added new products like quality spices and spice mixes to its portfolio along with a reinvigorated promise of Trust.

Rehan Hasan, chief executive officer, Badshah Masala, said, “Badshah Masala is a household name in the spices and seasonings category in India. The jingle has been associated with Badshah Masala for decades and has become synonymous with the brand. The new version reflects the brand's commitment to quality and its roots in India's rich culinary heritage. We believe that it will strike a chord with the consumers and remind them of the authentic Indian flavors that Badshah Masala provides. The new jingle will be used in all Badshah Masala's advertising campaigns across various media platforms, including television, radio, and social media.”

The creative mandate is being handled by Havas Worldwide India. The agency that has played a critical role in refreshing the old jingle will oversee the brand’s marketing communication going ahead.

Speaking on the occasion, Anupama Ramaswamy, chief creative officer, Havas Worldwide India, said, “It was quite interesting to rehash the iconic jingle that has been etched in our minds for 40 years while retaining its crux and feel. Therefore, while ideating, we kept the angle of modern families, the new and healthy equation between them, as well as changing roles, to make the ad more contemporary, aspirational, and relatable. There is no doubt that the new version of the Badshah Masala ad is modern, but at the same time, there are situations that brings out beautifully the legacy of the brand.”

“We are thrilled to bring on-board Badshah Masala to Dabur’s Foods portfolio and believe the addition will not only strategically expand our business but will also build on its existing legacy for all future intents and purposes. We aim to live up to consumers’ expectations of premium and quality spices and spice mixes in the years to come. With Dabur’s acquisition of the legacy brand last year, Badshah Masala has overhauled its product range and has added new products like quality spices and spice mixes to its portfolio,” Hasan added.
