New Delhi, 29 December 2025: OPPO India announced the launch of The Snap Circle, a nationwide college-level initiative designed to empower the next generation of visual storytellers in India. Built on its brand philosophy “Make Your Moment”, the programme brings together technology and creativity to support self-expression.
The Snap Circle offers a hands-on learning journey where students engage in real-world photography assignments, receive expert mentorship, and gain experience with OPPO’s flagship Find X Series—equipped with the brand’s most advanced imaging technology yet.
Designed as a long-term platform, the initiative aims to build a creator ecosystem by deepening industry–academia collaboration. Participants not only develop technical skills but also build confidence, curiosity, and creative independence, reflecting the brand’s commitment to fostering distinct storytelling through technology.
Commenting on the occasion, Goldee Patnaik, Head of Communications, OPPO India said, “Our brand philosophy, Make Your Moment, reflects our belief that the youth should be able to express their authentic perspective with technology. With The Snap Circle, we are crafting a space where students can experiment fearlessly and discover their own visual voice through real-world photography with the Find X Series. By bringing together advanced imaging technology, mentorship, and a supportive community, we aim to inspire the new-age storytellers to transform everyday moments into meaningful narratives.”
At each of the colleges, students will undergo a simple registration and shortlisting exercise, after which 10 participants will be selected based on creativity, technical understanding, and passion for photography.
The shortlists will receive Find X Series smartphones for a 10-day themed photography challenge. The OPPO camera team will review the final submissions using key evaluation criteria, composition, lighting, colour balance and subject focus, etc. The first two winners will receive Find X smartphones, while the other eight students will receive participation certificates.
To extend the learning journey, all shortlisted students will become part of the Snap Circle Community—a year-long journey featuring workshops, curated photo walks, access to product experiences, and continued mentorship by experts.
The programme commenced with JECRC University in Jaipur. In 2026, the Snap Circle will cover leading universities across nine locations, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Bhubaneswar.
By giving students access to the industry-leading imaging system of the Find X Series in real-world settings, the Snap Circle becomes more than a campus activity; it serves as a pathway for young talent to explore the possibilities of modern mobile photography.
OPPO India will continue to invest in platforms that encourage curiosity, skill-building, and perspectives, ensuring that aspiring photographers feel supported and inspired as they shape their own visual journeys.
