Designed and developed by J. Walter Thompson (JWT) India, the sound cap has a built-in chip that is triggered when the bottle is opened and silenced when the bottle is closed. The innovation features live sounds of whistling winds, melting mists, drop by drop percolation and rare rock surface liquid percussions, that were captured over 20 years using high altitude radio transmitters and underwater stream synthesizers, installed in the Himalayan mountains. The cap features an embossed logo of Himalayan and is coloured with shades of silver.

Senthil Kumar, chief creative officer, JWT India shares, “The sound cap was designed to bring alive the source of Himalayan Natural Mineral Water and make it a unique multi-sensorial consumption experience for every consumer. This idea took the team over two years to develop and was implemented through intensive collaboration with sound engineers, time lapse trackers and product design experts across the world. The R&D team at NourishCo has painstakingly ensured that the design and the experience is elevated within the product environment.”

To amplify the launch, JWT has developed an epic time travel film capturing the journey of a drop of water traversing 20 years in the Himalayas.
