HEADSHOT ENERGY

What began as a bold idea to energize India’s youth soon transformed into one of the most distinctive energy drink brands in the country. Headshot Energy, founded by Rishabh Aneja, was crafted for the adrenaline-driven Gen Z audience who live online, love gaming, and crave bold experiences.


With a neon-soaked identity, quirky flavor profiles, and language straight out of a live-stream, Headshot wasn’t just a drink-it was a culture. And that culture was catching on fast.


The digital crowd was sold. But to make real noise in the FMCG space, offline presence was the next level to unlock.
