OPPO India collaborates with Under 25 to roll out a Gen Z-first digital campaign for K13
Mumbai, 23 June 2025: In a bid to build strong resonance with India's youth, OPPO India teamed up with Under 25, one of India's leading youth-focused platforms to launch a culturally sharp, community-driven campaign for its latest K Series smartphone.
Rooted in Gen Z's love for raw, relatable content, the campaign was built on three strong pillars: participatory storytelling, creator-first content, and college culture. From snackable Vox Pop interviews and trend-led reels influenced by viral trends and gamified interactions on Under 25 App, the content series mirrored the way young India discovers, discusses, and adopts tech.
Speaking on the collaboration, Sushant Vashistha, Head of Product and Digital Marketing, OPPO India, said, 'The larger objective that we were looking for was to tap into the spirit and pop-culture driven lifestyle of the youth, blending cutting-edge technology message with the energy and vibe of our youth. This is the first for OPPO wherein we have collaborated with a youth centric platform like Under 25 to build in-roads into the Gen Z community. We wanted to capture the thrill of creativity, expression and the relentless pursuit of excellence of our youth–much like the OPPO K13 itself and this collaboration has accelerated our effort as a Brand to connect with the youth.' The campaign was amplified through the Under 25 ecosystem which includes a network of student creators, the viral Under 25 Dictionary IP, and the Under 25 App making the smartphone part of everyday conversation among college students across India.
Jeel Gandhi, CEO, Under 25, said,"We were thrilled to team up with OPPO and tap into what GenZ values most - interactivity, authenticity and cultural fluency. Together we sparked real and organic connects with the under 25 crowd through student generated content, campus champs and mission based challenges on our app. The Oppo K13 is already a hot topic, proving that community first marketing always wins." This digital-first approach helped OPPO India create genuine cultural traction with its target audience, driving relevance, relatability, and engagement across both metro and tier-2 markets.
With over 28 million views and 4% engagement garnered organically, the campaign reinforced the idea that when you speak Gen Z's language and let them lead the conversation brand discovery becomes a movement.

Pondy's French citizens are coming home, GenZ loves fake weddings & other great reads
A friend of more than two decades recently asked me where 'home' is after realizing that my life is spread across four cities, and I have none of the trappings that would anchor me to one place. What does 'home' mean really, and how do we anchor ourselves? It's a question that we delved into at Lounge this week. We write about a young generation of Indian French citizens returning after years in France to make their homes in Puducherry, opening businesses, setting up restaurants, documenting the town's heritage and becoming a bridge between multiple cultures. Beneath the surface of the comfortable lives these French-Pondicherrians have created for themselves lies a history of the alienating violence of colonialism, migration and displacement. Aravinda Anantharaman's reporting spans business, history, food, livelihood, heritage and generational change that continues to shape the seaside town that's now a tourist destination. In a world with so much alarm about borders, this story points to a more accepting, fluid way of living that is a mélange of French, Tamil, even Caribbean and Cambodian cultures, and finding the sense of belonging. And we have more great writing and ideas to mull over all weekend. Could you imagine a wedding party without a bride and groom? That's exactly what Gen Z has turned the wedding into—a beautiful wedding with lots of food and fun, without the stress of having to find gifts, deal with family and dress up perfectly. Wedding parties that are just that, a reason to party, are all the rage in Delhi, Bengaluru and Pune. Maybe Gen Z has got it right, muses Shrabonti Bagchi. After all, who wouldn't want to enjoy great food, fantastic music and a lot of dancing without the worry of toxic relatives and the weight of societal expectations? Read more. Offal often gets a bad name but chefs and home cooks are dusting out family recipes and adding a twist of innovation to this simple food and elevating it to a fine-dining concept. With its transformation from affordable meat to fine-dining ingredient, old stigmas about eating this food that is both sustainable and convenient are also ebbing away, writes Rituparna Roy.

They're touching grass—internet speak for going offline and taking in the world outside—to counter brain rot, an effect of excessive consumption of digital content. And this means a return to the basics: They're joining book clubs, heritage walks and communities, and going on solo dates to log off. Sara Siddiqui meets the young people organizing these clubs and activities to help their peers manage their mental health and physical wellbeing. Read more.

Nihari, biryani and korma have come to represent Pakistan's cuisine, with most recipe blogs on the internet confining themselves to these dishes. Author Maryam Jillani has been trying to change this with her 'Pakistan Eats' blog since 2016, and she's now published her first cookbook that documents the range of cuisines across the country. Pakistan's many cuisines have a diversity of ingredients and cooking techniques that reflect the intersection of economics, politics and migrantion crisis. The book also holds a certain nostalgia for 90s kids in India too—there are recipes for trifle and black forest cake, which were our introduction to the world of cakes and pastries, writes Shirin Mehrotra.
