TVF: From Roommates to Inmates
MUMBAI: After the success of The Viral Fever’s Permanent Roommates series, the web content producer is back at it with a new plot in TVF Inmates. Three boys and two girls with outrageous personalities share a house in Mumbai.
The five episodes series is a comic representation of the lifestyle of urban millennials who stick together despite hell breaking loose. It was launched on 13 October.
Talking about the refreshing content AVP content strategy Shreyansh Pandey said, “Lights, Camera.. Experiment!’ has always been the motto behind the story-telling at TVF. With TVF Inmates, we wanted to bring alive the phase of friends living together. It is a process wherein strangers become friends and become a very important part and parcel of our personal lives.”
Talking about partnering with TVF, Midas Care director Shivangi Gupta said, “Spraymintt as a brand offers a very innovative product. Right from the medium of delivery – a mouth freshener spray can, to the product itself – over eight flavors that make you kiss ready in just one sec! So who better to collaborate with than the forever innovating TVF. It took me just one second to decide on backing TVF Inmates.”
The main characters in the series are played by Raghav Kakkar, Ashish Verma, Akansha Thakur, Mukti Mohan and Kashyap Kapoor.
TVF Inmates is set in a 21st century Mumbai apartment, a group of friends, who fight, bicker yet support each other. Each day is a new story as these friends maneuver in a way that brings out their best and the occasional worst.
The series is based on five different personalities: Rahul (played by Raghav Kakkar), who is a rich Delhi boy with a heart of gold and the acting talent of a laughing gas cylinder, Madhav (played by Ashish Verma), is a corporate hotshot with zero history of proximity with women, Richa (played by Akansha Thakur), a casting director who is just living her life one step at a time, Kay (played by Mukti Mohan who makes her web-series debut), a wannabe DJ who is fed up of Goa and her half-brother Fooga (played by Kashyap Kapoor), whose search for his long-lost gangster father is going nowhere. Their problems are modern, their reactions Indian.
The story of TVF Inmates has been written by Raghav Raj Kakker & Kashyap Kapoor, directed by Yazad Anklesaria and developed by Shreyansh Pandey.

Mark Zuckerberg’s sharp advice on employee retention goes viral
“Treat your employees right, so they won’t use your Internet to search for a new job.”
MUMBAI: When your employees start browsing job sites on company Wi-Fi, it might be time to check the office culture not the bandwidth. A candid one-liner from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is making waves once again for its blunt take on modern workplaces and the challenge of keeping talent happy.
“Treat your employees right, so they won’t use your Internet to search for a new job,” Zuckerberg reportedly said. While delivered with a light touch, the remark highlights a serious shift in today’s job market with opportunities just a few clicks away, employee dissatisfaction can quickly turn into quiet job hunting.
The comment comes amid widespread restructuring, automation, and layoffs across industries, which have added to employee uncertainty. According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2025 report, half of employees worldwide are actively looking for new jobs, pointing to deep levels of disengagement.
At its heart, Zuckerberg’s observation delivers a simple truth: employees who feel respected, supported, and valued are far less likely to start scrolling through LinkedIn during work hours. Today’s workforce increasingly prioritises factors beyond salary such as work culture, flexibility, growth opportunities, and recognition. When these are missing, disengagement builds silently.
The quote also reflects how job searches have become discreet. Many employees continue working normally while quietly exploring other options, making it harder for companies to spot early warning signs of attrition.
Zuckerberg’s remark serves as a timely reminder that retaining talent is no longer just about preventing exits, it’s about creating an environment where people genuinely don’t feel the need to leave.
In an era where the next opportunity is only a tab away, smart companies are realising that the best retention strategy might just be treating people so well that they never feel tempted to look elsewhere.
