Google India also took part in Diwali celebrations by revealing a special rangoli design that included a QR code. A video on Google’s official Instagram account showcased the rangoli whose colours reflected the company’s logo. By encouraging customers to “extend their Diwali ‘shagun’ money” using Google Pay, this creative strategy combined old-world traditions with contemporary ease and gave Google India’s office entryway a festive feel.
