Zingaro Super Strong was launched in the year 2000, when the Indian Beer Industry was experiencing a major salience shift from Lager to Strong. Zingaro was then owned by MABL, which was formed to be the growth engine for the UB Group. While UB Group focused on making Kingfisher Strong a national brand, MABL launched Zingaro as a flanker to take on regional brands. The name Zingaro was finalized after extensive research which showed that the name was associated with Charisma and Mystique. In order to make the Zingaro label look modern and have a distinct personality and to stand apart from the red and gold colors of competitors, it was given a green colour which looked solid and refreshing and the word Zingaro was written in red to add a strength feel to the label. In order to differentiate Zingaro from other strong beer brands which depicted a macho and not up-market imagery, it was positioned as a light hearted super strong premium and refreshing beer that unravels the 'real you' for moments of uninhibited fun. After the brand was successfully established there was a need to gain critical mass because research showed that the Zingaro imagery did not have the potential to gain a major market share for the brand in the strong beer category. Research showed that Zingaro consumers were from lower socio-economic strata whose growth path was relatively limited because of the lack of resources. But he fights hard for himself and his family's survival and does not bow down to adversities but faces them bravely. This was captured in the brand tag line 'Bujhaye Sheron Ki Pyaas'. Thus in the year 2004, Zingaro was re-positioned as a beer that quenches the thirst of the Lion-Hearted. The brand again underwent a re-positioning in 2007 and the pack design was modified to take the rugged and masculine imagery to the next level. Horses images were also used on the label because it symbolizes strength, masculinity and never tiring spirit .The tag line was changed to 'Jawani ki Aag'. This depicted today's youth and their ambitions and about the fire in youth that helps them to take on life. The label design was changed to red and gold with a metallic finish to bring alive the brand personality of Zingaro. The brand is available in 3 SKU's 650ml bottle, 330ml bottle & 330ml can
