The award recognizes stellar designers, innovators, and companies from different fields across diverse disciplines in a global setting.

Elephant crafted a visual language and system based on ‘Zen Time’ which focused on creating an entire skincare routine that evokes fulfillment, tranquillity, and a truly calming experience. The design facilitates Himalaya to carry forward its brand legacy of natural wellness in a contemporary manner.
