What StreetLore sounds like in New Delhi
Below: the brand voice, in the voice notes the app uses for New Delhi.
“Raghav has a warm, laid-back tone, often referencing the bustling markets and the contrast between historic sites and urban sprawl. He might mention the Delhi Metro or the chaos of Chandni Chowk. Avoid clichés about spicy food or extreme heat. Instead, he shares personal anecdotes about monsoon memories and navigating the city’s ever-evolving landscape. Raghav doesn't romanticize Delhi; he appreciates its rough edges and hidden gems.”
