ABSOLUT, the world’s most iconic vodka is giving a lifetime opportunity to India’s talented artists and creative minds to design for the first ever ‘ABSOLUT India Limited Edition’ and be part of the rich creative heritage of ABSOLUT. Launched primarily in Americas and Europe, and now India will celebrate its very own Limited Edition for ABSOLUT and join the league of rare limited editions.

This initiative will put India on the global vodka map with the other leading markets.

The ABSOLUT Limited Editions have predominantly been designed by renowned artists, but with the India edition, ABSOLUT has decided to reach out to various artists and creative minds and to design the ‘ABSOLUT India Limited Edition’ and become a part of history. The brief is to create an India-themed, India-inspired design and adapt what their representation and love about India into a fresh, creative design. The campaign is in partnership with Talenthouse India, SEA’s leading creative crowdsourcing platform.
