Zomato’s Playful Twist: The “Secret” Behind Bengaluru’s Super Weather
Zomato’s latest campaign playfully credits Bengaluru’s amazing weather to its food deliveries, blending humour, creativity, and brand recall in a way only Zomato can.

Bengaluru’s weather is legendary. Pleasant, breezy, and often the envy of the rest of India, it’s one of the city’s best-kept secrets. But leave it to Zomato to “reveal” the unexpected reason behind it—its own food deliveries!
In its latest campaign, Zomato takes a delightfully cheeky approach, claiming that its food delivery bikes, zipping across the city, create the perfect wind conditions that keep Bengaluru cool. The film plays out with an investigative tone as if uncovering a long-hidden mystery, only to land on a punchline that’s as unexpected as it is hilarious.
A Masterclass in Playful Storytelling
Zomato has long been known for its witty, pop-culture-infused marketing, and this campaign is no exception. Instead of pushing a sales message, the brand leans into humour and relatability, ensuring strong audience engagement.
The brilliance lies in how Zomato subtly positions itself as an integral part of Bengaluru’s culture. The city is known for its love of food, thriving tech scene, and, of course, its incredible weather. By connecting all three in a lighthearted yet memorable way, Zomato reinforces its presence in the daily lives of Bengalureans.
The Power of Localized Marketing
This campaign is a testament to the power of hyperlocal marketing. While Bengaluru residents will immediately relate to the joke, it also sparks curiosity among people from other cities. The narrative is crafted in a way that invites social media conversations, meme-worthy moments, and organic shares—all key ingredients for viral content.
With this campaign, Zomato once again proves that advertising doesn’t always need to be serious. Sometimes, the best way to capture an audience’s attention is to simply make them smile—and maybe even believe, for a second, that their next food order is cooling the city down!
