MTR Foods unveils new TVC highlighting its sub-brand Minute Range
Mumbai: Packaged food products company MTR Foods Pvt Ltd on Wednesday launched a digital film showcasing its MTR Minute Range of products. The film focuses on the hyper-convenience, time-saving and delicious proposition of the portfolio of products.
The film starts with a snapshot of a usual work-from-home day for a millennial who has ordered lunch in the middle of a busy day but is a little annoyed with the delay in promised delivery time. When she starts questioning the delivery person about the delay, he informs her about the hyper-convenient, delicious alternative to ordering food – the MTR Minute Range – with the signature hand gesture and the ‘ready in mmmm..minutes’ tag. The closure of the film is a showcase of MTR Minute Range that can satisfy any kind of food craving – from breakfast to lunch or dinner and even comfort food.
Sharing her thoughts on the campaign, MTR Foods GM of marketing Prerna Tiku said, “The millennials and gen-Z are the ‘now’ generation that is constantly on the lookout for hyper-convenience in everything they do. We recognised this need early on and pioneered many concepts to cater to these needs in the foods space and conceived of the MTR Minute Range. Through this film, we aim to raise awareness about the entire range, a perfectly crafted portfolio of products that offer the much-loved Indian taste in a hyper-convenient format across dayparts.”
The film will be distributed through various media outlets and will be supported by influencer marketing and social media contests, to reach a wider audience. The campaign will be targeted towards Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad and goes live on 20 April.
The campaign is currently live across MTR Foods’ social media handles.

Oracle layoffs affect up to 30,000 employees globally
Job cuts span US, India and more, staff cite abrupt emails, uncertainty.
MUMBAI: April began with an inbox shock and for thousands, it ended with an exit. Oracle has carried out a sweeping round of layoffs, impacting an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 employees across its global operations, even as the company continues to report strong business performance. The job cuts were communicated via emails sent early on April 1, affecting staff across multiple regions including the United States, India, Canada and parts of Latin America. The reduction spans a wide range of roles and functions, though the company has not disclosed specific criteria behind the decisions.
In the days following the layoffs, employees have taken to platforms such as LinkedIn to share their experiences, many describing the process as abrupt and unsettling. Several posts pointed to a lack of prior indication, with notifications arriving suddenly in early-morning messages.
A recurring concern has been the impact on long-tenured staff. Users reported that employees with decades of experience were among those let go, raising broader questions about job security even for seasoned professionals within large technology firms.
The layoffs have also sparked anxiety about the wider direction of the sector. As companies continue to invest heavily in automation and artificial intelligence, workforce recalibration is becoming more common often accompanied by uncertainty around future roles and skills.
For many affected employees, the immediate challenge lies in navigating career transitions in an increasingly competitive job market, with posts reflecting concerns about stability and next steps.
The development comes against a backdrop of strong financial performance at Oracle, which recently reported a 22 percent year-on-year increase in revenue, alongside continued growth in its cloud infrastructure business. The company has also been committing significant capital towards artificial intelligence and data centre expansion.
The contrast between growth and job cuts has added to the unease, underscoring a broader shift in how large technology firms balance expansion with efficiency sometimes at the cost of the very workforce that helped build that growth.
