Oven Story launches limited-edition ‘Kiddy Pizzas’
Mumbai: Oven Story, from the house of Rebel Foods, is celebrating Children’s Day with the launch of its one-of-its-kind, limited-edition ‘Kiddy Pizzas’ – an innovative campaign designed to break the clutter and capture the hearts of both adults and kids alike.
Available across 140 kitchens in seven major cities such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, and Delhi-NCR, this playful range of pizzas is designed to spark joy and rekindle childhood memories. From 8 to 14 November, pizza lovers can order these nostalgic treats, bringing a whimsical twist to their meal with pizzas available in delightful shapes like Duck, Star, and Unicorn – all customisable at no extra cost.
This innovative ‘Time to Be Kids Again’ campaign goes beyond the pizzas, offering a full nostalgia experience. Each order includes a lollipop with a QR code and the message, ‘It’s time to be kids again,’ inviting customers to explore more memories. Additionally, every Kiddy Pizza comes with a nostalgic kit featuring paper and step-by-step instructions to fold classic shapes like a boat, aeroplane, and dog, bringing back cherished moments from childhood.
Rebel Foods CMO Nishant Kedia said, “At Oven Story, we wanted to create something that resonates with everyone who yearns to relive the joy of being a child. The idea for Kiddy Pizzas came from a desire to make mealtime a moment of fun and play, not just for kids, but for the kid in all of us. With Children’s Day around the corner, we thought it was the perfect time to launch a campaign that encourages everyone to take a little break from the ordinary and reconnect with their playful side. Our brand is all about creating delightful experiences, and we hope these Kiddy Pizzas bring smiles to our customers, one slice at a time.”
Kiddy Pizzas are now available on the Oven Story app and website till 14 November.

Prakash Nair reportedly quits Ogilvy after 23 years
One of the agency’s longest-serving leaders has moved on, with his next destination still unknown
MUMBAI: After more than two decades at one address, Prakash Nair has left the building. The president and head of office, north at Ogilvy has moved on from the agency, according to highly placed industry sources. His next move remains unknown. Ogilvy did not respond to requests for comment.
Nair spent over 23 years at the agency, making him one of its longest-serving senior figures. He was elevated to lead the Gurugram office in April 2022, a role that put him at the helm of Ogilvy’s northern operations at a time of considerable churn across the advertising industry.
Before taking charge in the capital, Nair served as associate president at Ogilvy Mumbai, where he worked on some of the agency’s most prized accounts, including Mondelez, Tata Motors, and BP Castrol. Over the years, he built a reputation for driving modern, integrated, and award-winning work, the kind that wins metals at Cannes and keeps clients from straying.
His departure was marked in style. A farewell gathering was held in Delhi, attended by senior figures from across the advertising fraternity, a signal of the regard in which Nair is held in an industry that does not always pause to say goodbye properly.
Where he goes next is the question the industry is now asking. After 23 years at one of the world’s most storied agencies, the answer, when it comes, will be worth watching.
