MUMBAI, India, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — super.money marked Makar Sankranthi with a unique on-ground festive activation at Carter Road, Mumbai, turning a familiar cultural symbol into an engaging digital experience. Early morning walkers along the promenade were greeted by an unusual sight, a giant kite floating high above, quietly commanding attention and sparking curiosity among joggers, families, college students, and commuters.

Within minutes, small crowds gathered as people slowed down, pointed skyward, and pulled out their phones. The larger-than-life kite carried just two elements: a prominent QR code and a simple, playful line “Yahan nahi katega…”, a nod to the festive tradition of kite strings being cut during Sankranthi. The message invited passers-by to look up, smile, and engage with the moment.

Those who scanned the QR code found a light-hearted digital surprise – a festive activation by super.money that played on the idea that while kites may fall, rewards from super.money don’t. The QR code led people to a cashback on their first UPI transaction, turning a moment of curiosity into an easy, intuitive digital interaction.

Rooted in a familiar festive symbol, super.money smartly blended tradition with technology, making digital payments feel less like a transaction and more like a discovery. To carry the experience beyond the sky, kites were also shared with people nearby, encouraging participation across age groups and adding to the festive atmosphere along the promenade.

As the morning went on, Carter Road became a canvas of small moments – people scanning the code, flying kites, clicking pictures, and sharing the unexpected sight across social platforms.

“Makar Sankranthi is about new beginnings, small moments of joy and things taking flight,” said Prakash Sikaria, Founder and CEO of super.money. “We wanted to recreate that feeling in a way that felt familiar and playful, where people could pause, look up, and live an experience that felt intuitive and rewarding. If payments are a part of daily life, the experiences should feel just as simple and joyful”.
