LAY’S® BRINGS ITS BIGGEST GLOBAL BRAND REFRESH TO INDIA, HIGHLIGHTING QUALITY INGREDIENTS

  • Rooted in agriculture and finest, farm-grown potatoes, Lay’s® new visual identity sets the stage for the brand’s next era, reflecting evolving consumer preference
  • Refreshed Lay’s® packs highlighting the new logo, to roll out across India from the first week of March
  • Lay’s® fresh avatar supported by the ‘Lay’s® ke liye kuchh bhi’ campaign featuring brand ambassador Ranbir Kapoor, celebrating great taste, ingredient truth, and everyday joy

New Delhi, 16th February 2026: Lay’s®, the beloved potato chip brand from the house of PepsiCo, has announced the launch of its refreshed brand identity in India. Part of the largest global brand refresh in its nearly 100-year history, this fresh avatar of Lay’s® in India will be brought to life on screen through its new ‘Lay’s® key liye kuchh bhi’ (anything for Lay’s®) campaign featuring brand ambassador Ranbir Kapoor.

Rooted in Lay’s® agricultural heritage, the refreshed identity celebrates what has always defined the brand – chips made from the finest, farm-grown potatoes. Bringing the farm-to-bag journey more visibly to life, the new design highlights the quality and craftsmanship behind every pack that has always been part of Lay’s® story.

Responding to the consumer preferences, the refreshed Lay’s® packaging makes its quality credentials easier to see and understand on shelf. Clear on-pack cues such as ‘Made with Finest Potatoes’ reinforce Lay’s® longstanding commitment to ingredient quality, while enhanced ingredient imagery cues the flavours consumers already know and love. These new packs will be available nationwide starting the first week of March.

As part of the brand’s future forward path, the refreshed Lay’s® packaging will feature a polyolefin based recycle ready structure, designed around circularity principles, enabling improved end of life outcomes when collected as post-consumer waste.

Commenting on the refresh, Saakshi Verma Menon, Chief Marketing Officer - Foods, PepsiCo India, said, “For nearly a century, Lay’s® has believed that our extraordinary taste and product begins at the farm. Today, as part of the largest global refresh in our history, we’re bringing that belief to life in a powerful new way for consumers in India. Rooted in our enduring partnerships with over 27,000 Indian potato farmers, the new farmtobag design brings our commitment to quality into sharper focus: chips made from the finest potatoes, with the right ingredients. This evolution reflects our responsibility as a category leader: to make quality easier to see, to design more thoughtfully for the planet, and to honour the trust people place in Lay’s® today while shaping the future of the brand.”

Speaking on the new campaign, Aastha Bhasin, Marketing Director – Potato Chips Category, PepsiCo India added, “Lay’s® is an iconic brand with a simple truth at its core – it all starts with the humble potato. This refresh marks a new look for Lay’s®, while keeping all the joyful goodness consumers know and love intact. Through ‘Lay’s® ke liye kuchh bhi’, we’re celebrating the brand’s emotional connection with consumers, with Ranbir Kapoor bringing a playful story to life, reaffirming the unmistakable love of Lay’s®.”

THE PACKAGING

Designed in-house by PepsiCo Design & Innovation, Lay’s® refreshed visual identity celebrates the potato with a fresh, energetic style that highlights the famous chips’ ingredients and harnesses the power of the sun. Lay’s® new look reinforces the brand’s commitment to providing the best experience for fans. The updated packs feature Lay’s® iconic sun and red ribbon, introduce sun-inspired ‘Lay’s® Rays’, and feature a refined logo and custom typeface that reflects the brand’s modern, joyful character. A richer colour palette drawn from ingredients, warm farm-inspired backdrops, and vivid food photography work together to highlight the quality, care, and irresistible flavour behind every Lay’s® chip.

Anchoring the refresh is Lay’s® new creative platform, ‘Lay’s® Ke Liye Kuchh Bhi’, led by Ranbir Kapoor. At the heart of the refresh is “Good Selfish”— owning moments where consumers choose themselves first, with the brand enabling cheeky, feel-good real joy. The campaign is rooted in celebrating the playful things we do for Lay’s, whether it’s holding on to the last chip, picking your flavour without negotiation, or reaching into the bag before anyone else can, these fun, light-hearted behaviours say a lot about how deeply and unapologetically consumers love Lay’s®.

The campaign will air across national television and digital platforms, supported by a high-impact rollout across OTT and social media to drive relevance at scale.

As Lay’s® embarks on this exciting new chapter, the brand’s commitment to its consumers is stronger than ever. Whether it’s three decades strong relationship with farmers in India, or a refreshed look that honours its legacy, Lay’s® remains dedicated to delighting snack lovers around the world – one chip at a time. New packs will be available across retailers and e-comm and q-comm platforms from first week of March.
