Django Snaps Up Snabbit’s Digital Gig
Creative agency to turbocharge hyperlocal home-services brand’s growth.
MUMBAI: Django has just grabbed the quickest mandate in town and it’s all about getting chores done in a flash. India’s next-gen creative and digital agency Django has landed the digital and creative account for Snabbit, the hyperlocal quick-service platform that’s making domestic help feel more like food delivery than a day-long wait. Launched in 2024, Snabbit promises vetted, in-house professionals at your doorstep within 10–15 minutes for cleaning, laundry, kitchen help and other everyday household tasks. The app-driven, full-stack model aims to tidy up the notoriously fragmented and unorganised domestic-help sector with reliability and speed.
Under the new partnership, Django takes the reins on Snabbit’s entire digital playbook from overall strategy and social-media firepower to sharp storytelling that builds trust and cuts through the noise in the booming convenience-services space.
The tie-up comes as Snabbit pushes to widen its footprint across major Indian cities, chasing the growing tribe of time-starved urban households who want chores handled without the drama.
Both sides see the collaboration as more than a standard agency-client deal; it’s a joint mission to craft a crisp, modern narrative that positions Snabbit as the default, dependable answer to daily home hassles delivered fast, fuss-free and with zero second-guessing.
With Django’s creative edge now backing Snabbit’s rapid scaling ambitions, expect the brand’s digital presence to get noticeably snappier in the months ahead. In a market where convenience is the new currency, being able to summon help faster than you can say “laundry day” could prove a winning formula.

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI:Â Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
