Apple is likely to fold its rangoli campaign into festive store and online offers.
For operators
Apple's 'Create Your Rangoli' browser tool, which turns a user's design into an iPhone wallpaper, a share link or an AR view via QR code, shows how a culturally tailored, shareable festive activation can drive engagement; retail and brand teams in India should consider a similar low-friction digital format for the season.
Watch
Apple tying the rangoli campaign to a paid offer or in-store event before Diwali would mean it is a sales funnel, pushing Android rivals to answer with festive bundles.
