Rebranding GVK BIO to Aragen: Positioning India’s leading biopharma company for global expansion
Crafting a new concept for Indian luxury: Paro is the wellness and personal luxury brand of Good Earth, India's defining lifestyle brand. While Good Earth celebrates India's rich visual culture, Paro journeys deeper, drawing from ancient Vedic wisdom. We created an evocative, layered and consciously crafted identity for Paro that is intrinsically Indian but resonates globally.
The calligraphic logo in Devanagari is graceful and ethereal. Rhythmic and fluid letterforms cross linguistic barriers, conveying the essential meaning of Paro — ‘beyond.’ It connects with the evolved Indian and expat/global traveller alike.
A quiet palette of natural whites and tonal greys evokes a luxurious and timeless brand. Juxtaposed is haldi or turmeric, the essential Ayurvedic healing agent — making for a distinctly contextual brand colour.
In the Vedic calendar, there are six seasons (vasant ritu, grishma ritu, varsha ritu, sharad ritu, hemant ritu and shishir ritu). Being in rhythm with these brings us a deep sense of well-being. This philosophy lies at the heart of Paro. Six beautiful, abstract prints, one for each season marks seasonal shifts in packaging, while exquisitely hand-drawn botanical illustrations in gold foil bring to life the deeply researched, exhaustive range of botanical healing oils, which is the core of the brand.
Thoughtfully detailed packaging with hand-made papers in natural fibres, carefully crafted muslin and kora bags, and etched brass boxes prompts you to sense, touch and feel.
Through rich and layered storytelling Paro invites you to pause and experience mindful, authentic and generous Indian luxury.
