Tata Soulfull Introduces ‘No Maida Rusk’ with Manoj Bajpayee
Tata Soulfull Introduces ‘No Maida Rusk’ with Manoj Bajpayee
 

Tata Soulfull, a brand under Tata Consumer Products, is set to transform India's tea-time experience with its latest innovation—Tata Soulfull No Maida Rusk. The brand, known for its wholesome millet-based snacks and packaged foods, introduces this new offering as a healthier alternative to traditional rusks, which are typically made with refined flour (maida).

The launch is supported by a compelling marketing campaign featuring celebrated actor and brand ambassador Manoj Bajpayee. Built around the tagline ‘Har Chai ko Apni Chai Banaye’, the campaign highlights how every Indian has a unique way of enjoying their tea, making chai moments truly personal.

At the heart of the campaign is a master film featuring Manoj Bajpayee, who lightens up a formal tea occasion by pairing a bland cup of tea with the crunchy Tata Soulfull No Maida Rusk. The ad humorously contrasts traditional tea etiquette with India's love for a strong, flavorful chai, turning a stiff setting into a soulful and relatable moment. Manoj Bajpayee’s natural charm perfectly embodies the brand’s essence—premium quality with a truly desi touch.

Rasika Prashant, CMO, Soulfull said, "Chai and rusk are an inseparable duo in Indian households, but most rusks contain maida, which isn’t preferred for everyday consumption. With Tata Soulfull No Maida Rusk, we’re addressing this gap by giving consumers an alternative choice that delivers on taste and crunch. Through this campaign, we bring humor and relatability to the conversation, showing how choosing Tata ka Rusk makes every chai moment, truly your own. Manoj Bajpayee's warmth and authenticity help us connect with consumers across India in a way that feels natural and engaging. This product and campaign demonstrate our understanding of evolving consumer preferences while honoring India's cherished chai culture. We're not just launching a product – we're reimagining a ritual that millions of Indians hold dear.”

The campaign, conceptualized by creative agency The Womb, features a series of digital short films alongside the main advertisement, with each film showcasing the product’s unique selling points—no maida, great taste, and lasting crunch.

Suyash Khabya, CCO, The Womb shared, "Who doesn't want to have Tea with the Queen at the Buckingham Palace? But unki chai boring hai, bland hai. So that's where we got Manoj to pull out Tata Rusk and enjoy his tea. The setting is bizarre. The humor is subtle, the brand integration is perfect. It's simple, yet unignorable. Everyone from UP to Bihar to even Mumbai would love to be in front of the British Queen and show her our way of doing things. Hum jaise hai, waise hai!"

Manoj Bajpayee stated, “I’ve always believed that a good cup of tea deserves the perfect companion. Tata Soulfull’s No Maida Rusk brings just that – a crunchy, flavorful treat without the compromise of maida. This product redefines chai-time rituals, offering a wholesome yet indulgent option for tea lovers like me. It’s exciting to be part of a campaign that blends humor, tradition, and innovation. With Tata Soulfull No Maida Rusk, every chai moment truly becomes your own.”

Currently, Tata Soulfull No Maida Rusk has been launched in North, East, and Central India, with expansion plans for other regions soon.
