2014 Kyoorius Advertising & Digital Awards Night will be held on 12 June
MUMBAI: Kyoorius, a division of Transasia Fine Paper, in association with D&AD, will announce the winners of the 2014 Kyoorius Advertising & Digital Awards at an awards ceremony on 12th June at NSCI Indoor Stadium in Mumbai.
The night will be a celebration of the best in Indian creativity and is expected to be attended by over a 1000 creative professionals from the advertising and digital spheres, including participants and winners of the Kyoorius Awards, giving them an opportunity to meet and mingle with their friends and peers.
While In-book winners have already been announced on the Kyoorius Awards website, the Awards Night will see the revelation of the Blue and Black Elephant winners in both Kyoorius Advertising Awards and Kyoorius Digital Awards.
Unlike other awards programmes, Kyoorius Awards have no gold, silver or bronze, and it is the jury’s prerogative to award more than one Blue Elephant in a category, or none at all. Blue Elephants are selected from among the In-book winners, and represent the very highest achievement in creativity.
The process of awarding Black Elephants is even more selective. It is the ultimate prize, as it is only awarded to work that is truly groundbreaking amongst all judged work, and redefines its industry.
Along with the presentation of the Kyoorius Awards, the evening will feature live performances by The Other People, DJ Hiren. Tickets for the 2014 Kyoorius Awards Night are available awards.kyoorius.com/

Big Bowl appoints Lyxel & Flamingo as social and media partner
QSR brand eyes next growth phase after crossing Rs 100 crore ARR milestone
MUMBAI: Big Bowl, one of India’s largest bowl-format quick service restaurant brands from Lenexis Foodworks, has appointed Lyxel & Flamingo (L&F) as its social and media partner as it prepares for its next phase of growth.
The partnership comes after the brand crossed the Rs 100 crore annual recurring revenue milestone in 2025 and aims to help accelerate its journey towards Rs 150 crore ARR in its fifth year since launch.
Big Bowl currently operates more than 250 kitchens across 50 cities and has emerged as a major player in India’s organised bowl-format food segment. Built around hearty portions and delivery-first convenience, the brand offers a wide mix of Indian, Chinese and fusion bowls designed for quick, affordable and portable consumption.
As urban consumers increasingly gravitate towards easy-to-carry and value-driven meal formats, the company sees the bowl category as a scalable format aligned with modern eating habits.
With the appointment of Lyxel & Flamingo, Big Bowl plans to consolidate its social media and digital media operations under a single partner. The move is intended to sharpen its digital reach, strengthen youth-focused storytelling and improve performance marketing outcomes.
Lyxel & Flamingo, one of India’s largest independent digital-first agencies, manages more than 350 brands and oversees advertising spends exceeding $100 million across its network.
Under the mandate, the agency will handle Big Bowl’s social media strategy, content development, digital performance marketing, media planning and buying, as well as campaign amplification across platforms.
Commenting on the partnership, Lenexis Foodworks founder and director Aayush Madhusudan Agrawal said, “Big Bowl has scaled rapidly to cross Rs 100 crore ARR and established itself as one of the largest bowl-format brands in the country. As a delivery-first, digitally native brand, our next phase of growth will be driven by sharper performance systems and stronger brand storytelling. Consolidating social and media with Lyxel & Flamingo allows us to integrate data, creativity and media precision as we scale towards our next revenue milestone.”
Lenexis Foodworks marketing head Vikas Iyer, added that the delivery-led category requires content, media and performance marketing to work closely together.
“With Lyxel & Flamingo, we aim to build a sharper social voice, stronger acquisition systems and measurable impact, ensuring the brand scales not just in presence but also in precision,” he said.
Lyxel & Flamingo chief executive officer Dev Batra, said the agency will combine data-driven marketing with creative storytelling to support Big Bowl’s growth. “Big Bowl brings the flavour, and L&F brings the fire. Our strategy combines data-led performance with engaging storytelling to help build a strong digital brand presence while delivering measurable business results,” he said.
With this partnership, Big Bowl is looking to strengthen its position as a digitally driven QSR brand, blending brand-building with performance marketing as it scales within India’s rapidly growing organised food delivery market.
