Pidilite is one of India’s most innovative companies, committed to quality and innovation. Its ever-evolving product portfolio ranges from industry-grade adhesives, sealants, waterproofing solutions, and construction chemicals to arts and crafts supplies.​

​ Having produced some of the most iconic brands in India namely Fevicol, M-Seal, and Dr. Fixit, Pidilite needed a fresh approach to its corporate website as well as brand websites.​

Think Design was tasked with creating an intuitive and innovative digital presence for the corporation.

Our Strategy

The Thinker Approach

Building a strong digital presence for Pidilite implied the need to gain insights into the company culture, their leadership voice, their customer representative insights, and access to other key stakeholders' thoughts. Thus, we began with in-depth interviews with the key stakeholders. Insights into the key concerns, responsibilities, and goals helped us develop a plan.

Additional study was conducted for the designers to understand the brand and its ethos to internalize what could be understood as a true manifestation of the brand.

Insights We Drew/ Insights Inferred

With Pidilite being an umbrella company to notable brands with individual brand personalities, it was essential for the core website to be a diverging point for the same.

Additionally, understanding Pidilite’s engaging ad campaigns helped us get a hold of their style and brand voice. This lit the path to the final design system and layout.
