It’s an important message to send from the beverage brand because a lot of people drink colas during their Holi celebrations. Unfortunately, we (India) are witnessing a sharp spike in Covid-19 positive cases and it has prompted local authorities and state governments to suspend Holi celebrations.

A PepsiCo India spokesperson said, “Holi is a time of togetherness and boundless fun and we wish everyone a very Happy Holi. However, given these are unprecedented times, Pepsi® is championing the cause of ‘Distance Waali Holi’ through its new communication.”

Please note, while the vaccination drive is ongoing, you must maintain social distancing and wear a mask at all times when outside.
