New Delhi, India: Over the past few days, Delhi has been asking one question: Why is there a gorilla walking through the city carrying bananas?
From bustling markets and popular hangout spots to some of the capital’s most recognisable landmarks, a bright orange gorilla has been making unexpected appearances, stopping passersby in their tracks and flooding social media with photos, videos, and speculation.
The mystery now has an answer.
The citywide activation marks the arrival of Banana Club, the contemporary streetwear brand, as it gears up to open its first store in Delhi on 19 July.
Rather than announcing its launch through traditional advertising, Banana Club chose to introduce itself in a way that reflects the brand’s bold and playful personality. Inspired by the concept of guerrilla marketing, the campaign brought the idea to life with an actual gorilla, transforming everyday city spaces into moments of surprise and conversation.
Every sighting became an opportunity for people to stop, smile, take pictures, and share their experience online, allowing the campaign to spread organically across Instagram Reels, Stories, and WhatsApp.
But the gorilla wasn’t just creating buzz—it had a mission.
As it made its way through the city, the mascot handed out bananas along with specially designed invitation envelopes, inviting Delhiites to Banana Club’s grand opening on 19 July.
Inside each envelope was the reveal of the brand’s launch offer:
Buy any product and get your next shirt for just ₹1.
The activation combines Banana Club’s fun-loving identity with a compelling reason to visit the new store, turning a simple invitation into an experience people wanted to be part of.
For Banana Club, entering Delhi is about more than opening another retail outlet. It’s about building a community, creating memorable first impressions, and connecting with consumers in a way that feels authentic rather than promotional.
With curiosity building across the city and social media already abuzz, Banana Club is all set to welcome Delhi shoppers through its doors on 19 July.
See you on 19 July.
