Problem Statement
Holi is one of the nation’s most loved festivals and a time of great joy and celebration, with colours forming an integral part of the festivities.
However, in the past couple of years, people have slowly begun to curb their revelries due to the prevalence of colours getting everywhere, right from clothes to walls. Although clothes are easy to replace, the same cannot be said with walls. Many shy away from getting into the festive spirit fearing colours may leave their walls looking bad after the celebrations.
Taking into account the property of Berger Easy Clean, which ensures that even the most stubborn stains on walls can be cleaned easily, the brand wanted people to celebrate this colourful festival without fearing colours anymore.
