Admitad India comes forward to support daily wagers amid COVID-19 lockdown
MUMBAI: As the world passes through a period of turmoil, Admitad India has joined hands with Fiinovation, a global CSR consultant, to distribute essential commodities including food rations, masks, sanitizers and hygiene kits amongst migrant labourers and daily-wage earners in slum regions.
The initiative comes at a time when the coronavirus outbreak has gripped the entire globe. Its subsequent lockdowns have dealt the worst impact on the marginalised community the world over. Daily wagers have lost their employment and are running dry of essential supplies for sustenance. Admitad India and Fiinovation will distribute ration and hygiene kits to such families via Discipleship Centre, a Delhi-based NGO that works towards sustainable development of the economically downtrodden communities. It will further spread awareness around coronavirus and brief them about protective measures that are needed to be taken.
Speaking about the Initiative, Admitad India’s Neha Kulwal said, “Today, we stand in solidarity with everyone who is at the frontline of the outbreak or is vulnerable to the same. It is our responsibility to help and support them with concerted efforts against the pandemic. Together, we will make the world a better place to live in, much better than it is at present. Admitad India expresses gratitude to both Fiinovation and Discipleship Centre as they drive the relief programme on the ground and save thousands of people from the pandemic’s wide-ranging implications.”
Fiinovation CEO Soumitro Chakraborty said, “At Fiinovation, we have identified several regions that urgently require aid and have assigned teams that can best deliver them. Fiinovation would like to thank Admitad for its constant support and Discipleship Centre for driving the measures on a war footing. We are constantly taking stock of the situation and making sure that no stone is left unturned vis-a-vis implementation.”
Apart from helping out the needy in this hour of crisis, Admitad India is also ascertaining business continuity as India passes through a period of lockdown. The affiliate network has ensured that India’s digital journey and adoption don’t bear the brunt of lockdowns. At the same time, it is empowering people to make the most out of their time at home. The platform is currently enabling publishers and advertisers to tap trendy categories for customer outreach and has registered a sharp 19 per cent rise in mobile consumption during March itself. Perhaps, a good indication for both advertisers and publishers as they can use such mediums and reach out to the consumers in time of need.

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.
