Bringing a trusted Chennai favourite into the fast lane.

When Nithya Amirtham launched Thuritham, its Quick Service Restaurant format, the objective was not simply to open another outlet.

The challenge was to introduce a new-age dining experience that retained the trust and familiarity of the parent brand while appealing to a younger, fast-moving Chennai audience.

The Opportunity

Nithya Amirtham had already earned strong brand equity through its authentic vegetarian cuisine, sweets and savouries. Thuritham represented a new chapter: a QSR experience designed for speed without compromising on quality.

The task was to create a distinct identity that could stand apart while remaining rooted in the values that made Nithya Amirtham a household name.

Building a Memorable Brand Platform

Rather than positioning Thuritham as just another fast-food outlet, Madarth built the launch around a culturally resonant idea: "Sattu Puttunu Foodu."

The mnemonic instantly communicated speed, flavour and familiarity in a way that felt authentically Chennai. More than a campaign line, it became a memorable brand asset that audiences could immediately associate with Thuritham.

Integrated Launch Campaign

To maximise awareness, Madarth deployed a multi-touchpoint launch strategy that combined:

  • Teaser-led digital storytelling
  • Launch films and social-first video content
  • Hyperlocal media targeting
  • Product-focused creative communication
  • Content designed to drive both recall and discovery
