Marketing Matters: Amazon India found purpose in 'out-of-the-box' marketing

The Maha Kumbh Mela, the world's largest religious gathering, has long been a playground for brands to connect with consumers on a deeper level. Many activations from the event have become classic marketing case studies. One recent example is the Amazon 'Box to Beds' initiative, conceptualised by Ogilvy India . The e-commerce giant's iconic boxes were upcycled into free, portable beds for attendees. Amazon and Ogilvy collaborated with festival authorities to strategically place the beds in key areas, including the lost and found center, a police station, and a hospital. Following the event, Amazon India donated the usable beds to local NGOs and responsibly disposed of the rest. According to Hirol Gandhi, President and Head of Office, Mumbai and Kolkata at Ogilvy India, this initiative shows how Amazon India found purpose in "out-of-the-box" marketing. Gandhi states, "True brand equity is built not just through visibility but through tangible, purpose-driven action.' He believes the core takeaway from this case study is that 'authentic engagement arises when a brand's initiative is driven by empathy and a sincere desire to address a real problem.' What was the brief given to you? The opportunity was immense, and the brief equally ambitious: to design an impact campaign for Amazon that would resonate at the Kumbh Mela. This was a truly singular moment – the world's largest human gathering, drawing 660 million devotees, and an event that unfolds only once every 144 years. Our primary directive was to go beyond mere visibility and instead, craft an initiative that allowed Amazon to participate in a genuinely meaningful way What is the origin of the idea? What was the inspiration? The Maha Kumbh — a once-in-144-years spectacle and the world's largest human gathering brought 660 million devotees together in an extraordinary act of faith. But as the holy city swelled into a temporary metropolis, a biting cold wave swept through. With shelter scarce, countless pilgrims, many elderly — were left sleeping on the bare, freezing problem inspired us to think of a solution that could truly make a difference. Staying true to its mission of delivering convenience to every pincode in India, Amazon responded with 'Box to Beds' — an initiative that transformed its familiar delivery boxes into comfortable, weather-resistant beds. Deployed free-of-cost across the Kumbh, these makeshift beds brought warmth, comfort, and dignity to thousands in need. Could you share the key strategies and insights that went behind the making of the campaign? The strategic imperative was clear: to provide scalable relief to the vulnerable population at the Kumbh Mela. Our approach involved a critical partnership with the state government to facilitate widespread deployment. At the heart of the strategy was the ingenious repurposing of Amazon's own delivery boxes. We meticulously re-engineered 76,000 sq.m. of these boxes, sanitizing them and designing an interlocking, multi-layered structure to create ergonomic and durable beds. The natural insulating properties of cardboard were a deliberate choice, providing essential warmth and comfort, particularly for the elderly and vulnerable pilgrims. To maximize our reach and ensure maximum impact, these beds were deployed free-of-cost across key zones of the Kumbh. Smart media placements using on-ground inventory like bus backs, auto rickshaw backs, hoardings near railway stations close to the festival grounds, informed the huge influx of pilgrims about these free-to-use beds. A full page newspaper front jacket innovation in the state of UP - the host city, informed the entire state about the initiative What were the KPIs you were tracking to measure the success of this campaign? Could you share some key highlights in terms of results? Our primary KPI for the campaign was to provide tangible rest, relief, and convenience to the devotees of the Maha Kumbh Mela. The most significant measure of our success was the widespread adoption and utilization of the beds by pilgrims seeking respite. The campaign successfully delivered over 864,000 hours of restful sleep to devotees amidst the challenging conditions and immense scale of the Maha Kumbh. This metric directly reflects our objective of offering a crucial haven of comfort and dignity in the midst of the festival's chaos. What can other brands pick up from this piece of work? True brand equity is built not just through visibility but through tangible, purpose-driven action. In today's landscape, consumers increasingly expect brands to demonstrate authentic purpose and contribute meaningfully to society. The core takeaway is that authentic engagement arises when a brand's initiative is driven by empathy and a sincere desire to address a real problem. This approach moves beyond transactional marketing to create a deeper, more meaningful relationship with communities. How did you ensure that the brand's purpose-led messaging didn't just become a box-ticking exercise at Maha Kumbh? We ensured our purpose-led messaging didn't become a box-ticking exercise by rooting the entire initiative in an undeniable human need and delivering tangible, measurable impact. The campaign was an empathetic response to a severe, observed problem at the Maha Kumbh Mela – the critical lack of shelter and warmth during a biting cold wave. The solution itself was deeply integrated with Amazon's core capabilities. We leveraged our ubiquitous delivery boxes and logistical expertise to create a practical, innovative solution. Finally, the impact was undeniable and quantifiable. By providing over 864,000 hours of restful sleep, we delivered real, physical comfort to thousands. In a time when everyone's purpose-driven, how did you make sure yours translated into real impact, not just optics? We ensured our campaign delivered real results and transcended mere optics by making a deliberate strategic choice: to solve a tangible problem with a truly valuable offering, rather than simply seeking visibility. While traditional marketing approaches like setting up stalls or hoardings might have provided brand presence, we recognized the unique opportunity at the Maha Kumbh to deliver something far more impactful and priceless: restful sleep in challenging conditions. Our solution was far from an afterthought. It was a meticulously designed initiative, deeply aligned with our core objective of providing genuine relief. This strategic focus on delivering a concrete, human-centric solution is precisely how we achieved over 864,000 hours of restful sleep for the devotees, proving that our purpose translated directly into measurable impact. Amazon India & Ogilvy Group India won two Golds for the 'Box to Beds' campaign at ET Shark Awards 2025.
