NEW DELHI: Option Designs has curated an OOH campaign for Konica Minolta in its endeavour of taking the world of Workplace Solutions to a new high with its newly-launched product, bizhub C250i, introducing new-age workspace solutions.
With corporate offices being the target audience, the campaign was carried out across the Delhi-NCR region with out-of-home (OOH) advertising, where branded hoardings were placed at prominent locations.
Through the campaign, it wanted to highlight the message ‘Simplified workflow for smart workplaces’ in order to leverage the individuals in attaining utmost productivity against the complex work processes in the most seamless manner.
The campaign highlights Konica Minolta’s solutions as a catalyst in the digital transformation of the modern workplaces, making them smarter than ever before.
The latest OOH campaign is an extension of Konica Minolta’s ‘RETHINK’ campaign launched recently. With the aims to challenge the existing status quo at organisations and find new solutions to grow, the campaign is about creating insightful solutions that make businesses better today and ready for the future, giving them more freedom and flexibility.
The communication introduces the bizhub C250i as an effective workplace solution that helps create new possibilities and new horizons for businesses while not leaving out on other essential salient features such as data security and easy accessibility in addition to product printing.
“With our latest product launch, we have introduced a redesigned user interface to empower workspaces with intuitive operations and ease of use. Rethinking sustainability and a smarter future, we introduced a product that consumes less power and gives higher data security, adding to the productivity of smart workplaces. With this campaign, we are focusing on how our future-ready solutions will make businesses smarter, faster and better,” Konica Minolta Business Solutions India Pvt Ltd deputy general manager Sanjay Monga said.
Option Designs co-founder Anurag Mehta said, “We tried to stick to the most important talk point of the campaign, i.e., the way Konica Minolta simplifies every job and empowers office spaces with its high-end tech and user-friendly products. With this campaign, we intend to grab the attention of corporate offices and introduce the product as an essential addition to keep pace with the era of digital transformation.”

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.
