Facebook Messenger goes desi with Chumbak stickers

Bored of the existing Facebook Messenger stickers? Well, there’s an Indian twist to the cute, critter-stickers the social networking website is offering. Say hello to Chumbak stickers, designed around quirky souvenirs produced by an Indian company of the same name.Starting today, you will be able to add and send desi-designed stickers on both Facebook Messenger apps on phones as well as on the web. The sticker characters are pretty cute, colourful and spew Indian catch phrases. You can say “Heppy Budday”, “Fully fed up”, “Louve is coming” and the very funny “Wanna Fraanship,” that brings back memories of Orkut.


Very cool!

Very cool!



The Bangalore based Chumbak simply put up a Facebook post on its page saying, “We’ve been working on some really fun stuff for the past couple of months,” promising to reveal the story behind how this partnership came to be. Interestingly, Chumbak is not Facebook Messenger stickers’ first tryst with India. A few weeks ago, the Facebook Sticker Store was updated with a pack to commemorate the release of Krrish 3. Hungama published these stickers that most importantly feature the hero of the franchise Hrithik Roshan in his superhero avatar. It also features villains portrayed by Kangana Ranaut and Viviek Oberoi in an illustrated sticker format. If you wish to bug your friends with your Indian street-lingo, you can head on to the Facebook Messenger Sticker Store from either the Messenger app on your phone or from the web and add it. With more stickers being added to the store regularly, it is going to be interesting to see how cultural quirks will be portrayed by Facebook.
