Django brings Bergner India on board MasterChef India
MUMBAI: Django has turned up the heat in brand partnerships by bringing together Bergner India and MasterChef India for the show’s upcoming season. The integrated marketing agency has facilitated Bergner India’s entry as the official special partner of MasterChef India, which premieres on 5 January 2026.
The collaboration pairs Bergner’s premium cookware and modern kitchen innovation with a television property that has made cooking competitive, creative and hugely popular. For Bergner, it is a chance to step into millions of Indian kitchens through a platform that celebrates skill, aspiration and everyday culinary ambition.
Django co-founder Vivek Shah, said the match was as natural as a well balanced recipe. ‘MasterChef India is culturally relevant and instinctively aligned with Bergner’s brand ethos. Our focus was to build a partnership that goes beyond screen time and creates long term brand value. We are delighted to help strengthen Bergner’s connection with India’s growing community of home cooks.’
A spokesperson for Bergner India echoed the sentiment, noting that the show mirrors the brand’s philosophy. ‘MasterChef India stands for innovation, precision and passion in the kitchen, values that are central to Bergner. This association allows us to engage with consumers in an authentic and meaningful way. Django played a key strategic role in making this collaboration happen.’
As part of the partnership, Bergner India will feature across on-air brand integrations and digital extensions throughout the season, ensuring the brand stays front and centre as India’s favourite cooking competition unfolds.

Muttley Crew unleashes subscription treats for dogs on 5th birthday
‘Muttley Monthly’ delivers all-natural goodies with free gifts and flexible plans.
MUMBAI: Five years ago, a pack of health-obsessed humans decided Indian dogs deserved better than boring biscuits and now Muttley Crew is barking up the right subscription tree. The Bengaluru premium pet food brand, founded by Smriti Thomas, is marking its anniversary with ‘Muttley Monthly’, a new subscription model that drops preservative-free, human-grade treats straight to doorsteps.
The service offers 1-month, 3-month and 12-month plans, letting pet parents pick flavours across jerkies, biscuits and more perfect for training, rewards or everyday snacking. Boxes arrive early each month, with the freedom to pause, skip or cancel anytime. Every delivery includes an assured free gift, adding a little tail-wagging surprise to the routine.
Muttley Crew founder Smriti Thomas captured the milestone mood, “When we started Muttley Crew five years ago, our mission was to create treats that are as safe, wholesome and thoughtful as the food we choose for ourselves. This anniversary is a celebration of the trust pet parents have placed in us, and the subscription model is our way of making premium nutrition more convenient and rewarding.”
All treats are crafted with chefs, vets and nutritionists to ensure taste meets nutritional sense, no artificial nasties, just clean labels and delicious recipes. After building a loyal pack through transparency and quality, Muttley Crew now aims to turn one-off purchases into happy, habitual munching for dogs across India.
In a country where pets are increasingly treated like family, this move makes premium care as easy as ordering groceries minus the guilt, plus the wagging approval. Details and sign-ups are live on the Muttley Crew website. Who knew five years could fetch so much loyalty?
