Domino’s offers six pizzas, three inspired by Bangla cuisine for Pujo season
Mumbai: This Pujo season, Domino’s, India’s leading pizza chain, aims to be a significant part of the celebrations in the east. Motivated by the success of last year’s additions, the brand is eager to enhance the customer experience further. Especially for the Puja season, Domino’s showcases its collection of six delectable pizzas with three new pizzas inspired by authentic Bangla and Eastern regional cuisine.
The immense success of last year’s introduction of special eastern flavours during the festive season has spurred Domino’s to expand its offerings to now offer mutton and prawn pizzas in India for the very first time. Locals can now relish the delightful regional tastes of Kosha Mangsho, Champaran Mutton and Malai Chingri in pizza. Vegetarian patrons too can enjoy the traditional flavours of Kosha Veg, Champaran Veg, and Malai Paneer as part of the regionalised menu. This range of pizzas seamlessly blends traditional culinary delights, promising a flavourful and memorable dining experience.
Upon launching the three new varieties, Domino’s India president and chief business officer Sameer Batra commented, “The rich culinary history of the East has constantly inspired us at Domino’s. This coupled with the fact that the East has always been a priority market for us had led to the launch of the 1st edition of the Flavours of East range last year. We have always heard the voice of our users and are delighted with the 2nd edition of the Flavours of East range offering 6 mouth-watering non-veg and veg pizzas, inspired by the beloved flavours of the region. We are hoping that the newest additions to our menu will create wonderful memories and bring unbridled joy to our consumers in this festive season.”
The non-vegetarian pizza range – Kosha Mangsho, Champaran Mutton and Malai Chingri starts at Rs 399/- onwards and for our vegetarian customers, the vegetarian pizza range – Kosha Veg, Champaran Veg and Paneer Malai starts at Rs 299/- onwards.
Customers can now satiate their taste buds from the 17 October onwards by walking into any of our Domino’s stores across the Eastern part of India such as West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, Odisha, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh. They can also order these lip-smacking pizzas online by visiting www.dominos.co.in or using Domino’s mobile App and through any of the popular food aggregators.
This Pujo, Domino’s extends its warm wishes: Subho Sarodiyar Priti O Subhechha.

UK’s OnlyFans seeks US investor at $3bn valuation after owner’s death
The adult video platform is seeking stability after the death of its billionaire owner
LONDON: OnlyFans is looking for a new partner. The London-based adult video platform is in advanced talks to sell a minority stake of less than 20 per cent to Architect Capital, a San Francisco-based investment firm, in a deal that would value the business at more than $3bn (£2.2bn).
The move is driven by an urgent need for stability. Leonid Radvinsky, the Ukrainian-American billionaire who owned OnlyFans, died of cancer last month at the age of 43, leaving the future of one of Britain’s most profitable privately held businesses suddenly uncertain.
The choice of Architect Capital is not arbitrary. The firm has deep expertise in financial services, which aligns neatly with OnlyFans’ ambitions to offer banking products to its creators, many of whom have long struggled to access basic financial services because of the nature of their work.
The numbers behind OnlyFans are, by any measure, staggering. The platform posted revenues of $1.4bn in the year to 30th November 2024, with a pre-tax profit of $684m, up four per cent on the prior year. Payments to creators totalled $7.2bn over the same period, a rise of nearly ten per cent. Radvinsky personally collected $701m in dividends from the business in 2024 alone, on top of more than $1bn in such payments he had already received. The platform, run through its parent company Felix International, hosts 4.6m creator accounts, with performers keeping 80 per cent of subscription proceeds and the platform pocketing the remaining 20 per cent. It has 377m fan accounts in total.
The current minority stake talks represent a notable scaling back of ambitions. In January, OnlyFans was reported to be in discussions with Architect about selling a majority stake of 60 per cent. Before that, the company had explored a sale to a consortium led by Forest Road Company, a Los Angeles-based investment firm. Neither deal materialised.
OnlyFans has built an enormously lucrative business on content that mainstream finance has long refused to touch. Now, with its owner gone and a $3bn valuation on the table, it is looking for the kind of respectable institutional backing that might finally persuade the banks to take its calls.
