fbb launches its festive collection at Mumbai Airport
MUMBAI: The season for shopping has begun and people all over the country have increased their spending budgets to ensure they look their best this season. Fashion brands are doing everything in their power to ensure that shoppers take notice of them and choose them as their styling partners. So how do you break the clutter and ensure the audience remembers you?
Fashion retail brand fbb wanted to find the perfect way to launch their biggest festive collection yet. So digital marketing Agency, Social Kinnect conceptualised and brought to life the #fbbAirportMakeover where the beautiful festive collection was launched through a one of a kind fashion show at Terminal 1 of the Mumbai airport and showcased to the audience across the country through a Facebook Live.
Once the plan was in place, capturing the audience’s attention was key. To do this, fbb reached out to the audience by giving them the unique opportunity to win a free round-trip flight and witness the gorgeous 2nd Runner up of Miss India 2018 Shreya Rao Kamavarapu walk the ramp. But it didn’t stop there, one lucky audience member even got to walk with celebrity showstopper Radhika Apte.
fbb also tied up with a few influencers to ensure people who couldn’t make it to the airport in time, could stay updated with the happenings of the event.
The fashion show seamlessly worked into the feel of a normal day at the airport with models walking onto the ramp from different directions. With a few of the models coming in from around the conveyor belt and a few breaking out from their circles in the audience and walking onto the ramp.
Best of all, fbb gave all the onlookers a special gift. As their baggage came onto the conveyor belt, each suitcase had an envelope tied up on it that contained an exclusive voucher to shop at fbb.
Future Group’s head of digital Pawan Sarda says, “For the launch of this year’s stunning festive collection, we wanted to create an experience for our audience that they were least expecting. We wanted to capture their attention in the short span between baggage collection and exiting an airport. And that’s how the fbb Airport Makeover came to life! It’s a first of its kind fashion show at an airport and marks the launch of the beautiful collection we have to offer.”
Social Kinnect COO Chandni Shah adds, “At Social Kinnect, we thrive to break conventional boundaries. With that in mind, we spearheaded for fbb, the unveiling of their festive collection in a way that has never been done before.”

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.
