BYJU’S latest ad is a tribute to all parents
Mumbai: Ed-tech start-up BYJU’S has rolled out a new digital campaign honouring the sacrifices made by parents to build a successful professional career for their children.
The new campaign – #HonorTheSacrifices went live on the brand’s social media handles on the occasion of Parents’ Day on 25 July.
Conceptualised by the in-house team and created in partnership with Mumbai-based Dora Digs, the film includes four beautiful stories showing how our parents have always had their children’s backs and never shied away from providing them with any necessary support to achieve our goals.
The first ad shows how a mother prioritises her child’s needs over hers, even for smaller things, like purchasing a better uniform, over a new saree. And, how a father keeps postponing his plan to buy a new scooter to save money for his son’s dream of becoming a cricketer.
The campaign attempts to bind the audience with the love and warmth of a beautiful parent-child relationship, while invoking the brand’s philosophy- ‘Proud partner to parents’. It aims to celebrate parents for the selfless commitment and lifelong sacrifice towards nurturing the relationship with their children and always encouraging them to follow their passion.
Our homage to the ultimate heroes in our lives, #HonourTheirSacrifice is a tribute to all parents who always support their child’s dreams.

Jubilant Foodworks to end Dunkin’ franchise in India
Pizza chain operator will not renew agreement when it expires at end of 2026.
MUMBAI: When the doughnuts stop turning and the coffee goes cold, even a global giant like Dunkin’ can find the Indian market a tough brew to crack. Jubilant Foodworks has decided not to renew its franchise agreement with Dunkin’ when the pact expires on 31 December 2026, according to a Reuters report. The operator, best known for running Domino’s outlets in India, said it would evaluate options for its existing Dunkin’ stores, including a potential sale or transfer of franchise rights, in consultation with the US-based brand.
The decision follows years of underperformance in a market where local tastes and intense competition have made it difficult for international coffee-and-doughnut formats to gain traction. Jubilant, which has increasingly focused on its core pizza business and newer bets like Popeyes, indicated that the exit would not materially affect its financial or operational position.
Dunkin’ accounted for just 0.61 per cent of Jubilant’s revenue in the fiscal year ending 2025 and recorded a loss of approximately Rs 191 million, according to a regulatory filing. The company operated 27 outlets as of December 2025, having shuttered seven stores over the preceding year.
The retreat comes even as Jubilant’s broader business shows signs of momentum. The company reported a 65 per cent rise in quarterly profit for the October to December period, reaching Rs 70.9 crore, up from Rs 42.91 crore a year earlier.
For Jubilant, the exit reflects a sharpening strategic focus. For Dunkin’, it marks another setback in a market that has proven resistant to imported café concepts without significant localisation.
In the cut-throat world of Indian quick-service restaurants, sometimes the sweetest deals are the ones you quietly walk away from leaving more room for the brands that truly rise to the occasion.
