Objective and Business Challenge

The travel accessories market in India is crowded with legacy players and utilitarian narratives. Mokobara’s mission was to shift the lens—from “what you carry” to “how you carry yourself.” The challenge was clear: create a moment so culturally magnetic that the brand would naturally enter conversations around travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

By tapping into Diljit’s international fan base and street-style influence, Mokobara aimed to spark mass desire while driving genuine affinity across both metros and regional cities.
