Bringing Indian desserts to a global audience.

Overview


Masti is an Indian dessert brand that makes mithai* accessible to non-Indians through reimagining the form of the dessert, packaging, and visual identity.


*Mithai are Indian sweets made of sugar syrup and carbs such as nuts, grain or lentils and cut up into bite sized shapes such as cubes, diamonds, and balls.

The Design Problem,

Distinct Cultural Aesthetics

Furthermore, their disconnect with the young adult audience poses a challenge, as Gen Z represents the future. Embracing and engaging with the youth could offer significant opportunities for Skechers to participate in sneaker culture and streetwear heritage.

The nostalgia of a warm, summer evening at home back in India. The sweat, the humidity, the warmth and the neighborhood.

The community. A gathering of all the family and friends to share the day's adventures. The sharing of love, through warmer chai and some mithai, with some masti.

How It's Made

Making mithai in a typical Indian home is a process deeply rooted in tradition, often passed down through generations. It begins with the careful selection of ingredients like milk, ghee, sugar, various flours, and an assortment of nuts and spices. 

Throughout this process, the kitchen is filled with enticing aromas, and the atmosphere is often festive, especially during holidays or celebrations. Making mithai is not just about following a recipe; it's a labor of love that brings families together, creating cherished memories and delectable treats that embody the essence of Indian culture and hospitality.
