Theog's positioning was pegged to the most familiar benchmark in the region - Shimla. A breath of fresh air, while all around the AQIs were plummeting, Theog beyond Shimla made a case for a reassuring destination 'far from the madding crowd'. This was the beginning of a new Oxygen capital. Beyond Shimla hence became a metaphor for this new benchmark amongst hill-stations. To this were added the dimensions of local culture, season-specific experiences, and curated discoveries.
