Ovenstory Pizza rolls out new campaign for its ‘Standout Pizza’ offering
New Delhi: Home-grown Ovenstory Pizza unveiled its new brand campaign – ‘The Standout Pizza’, showcasing its innovative pizza flavours which sets it apart from other pizza brands.
The four-film campaign conceptualised by Wondrlab promotes the brand’s personal ‘Semizza’ offering, where customers can order half cut 11” pizzas of their favourite toppings and preferences. The campaign introduces children as the protagonists who highlight the real issues of mainstream pizzas – too much crust, basic cheese flavours, and importantly the lack of options to choose half-pizzas – Semizzas.
It also talks about how the current pizzas do not give consumers the choice of cheeses, and the personal pizza category is still limited which often compromises on toppings. The campaign serves as the launch of the brand’s positioning as a ‘standout pizza’.
“The key to any successful campaign is clear messaging,” says Rebel Foods’ global head – marketing communication and design, Indrajit Ghosh adding that Ovenstory pizza is a disruptor in its category, and it was important for the messaging to come out clearly. “The ad-film campaigns by Wondrlab bring the essence of the brand, while effectively conveying how we stand out from the crowd. The films have been appreciated on various platforms and we look forward to this continued partnership and creating memorable campaigns together,” he says.
Wondrlabs’ co-founder and chief creative officer, Amit Akali says, the team experienced the brand, before dipping their hands into the task of bringing out real, everyday conversations around pizzas. “To make every film interesting and add a surprise element to it, we had an interesting reveal of the kids. e.g. In one of the ads, the kids are camouflaged within the furniture, while in another they are hidden in the plants. The challenge of course was doing all of this in 15/20 seconds! The initial reactions have been encouraging and we look forward to some great results,” he added.

Magellanic Cloud names Syed Ameeruddin CEO of e-surveillance arm
Keeping a sharper eye on the future, Magellanic Cloud is putting a seasoned watcher in charge.
MUMBAI – Magellanic Cloud Ltd. has elevated Syed Ameeruddin as Chief Executive Officer of its e-surveillance business, bringing its iVIS and Provigil operations under a unified leadership to accelerate growth in intelligent monitoring and infrastructure solutions.
Ameeruddin, a nearly two-decade veteran of the company, steps into the role after leading the e-surveillance vertical. His career trajectory—from Business Development Manager to the top of the vertical—reflects a steady climb built on operational depth, client engagement, and strategic execution across multiple subsidiaries.
Over the years, he has played a central role in expanding the company’s footprint, strengthening client relationships, and streamlining operations. He has also been instrumental in integrating acquisitions, helping align new businesses with Magellanic Cloud’s long-term strategy while stabilising performance across diverse domains.
More recently, Ameeruddin has contributed to securing key mandates spanning railways, the National Highways Authority of India, and the BFSI sector—wins that have bolstered the company’s order book and deepened its presence in critical infrastructure.
Commenting on the move, Joseph Sudheer Thumma said Ameeruddin’s leadership has been “pivotal in shaping the e-surveillance business,” citing his ability to drive growth, build teams, and deliver strategic wins as key to the company’s journey. His elevation, Thumma added, is expected to further accelerate expansion in AI-driven surveillance and infrastructure solutions.
The transition comes as demand surges for AI-enabled monitoring, centralised command systems, and large-scale deployments across mission-critical environments. Magellanic Cloud’s e-surveillance segment—anchored by iVIS and Provigil—has emerged as a significant growth engine, delivering projects across banking, transport, highways, and public infrastructure.
In his new role, Ameeruddin will focus on scaling platform capabilities, expanding deployments in complex environments, and developing integrated solutions that enhance real-time intelligence and operational resilience. He will continue to serve as Chief Operating Officer of the company alongside his new responsibilities.
With this leadership shift, Magellanic Cloud is doubling down on its ambition to stay ahead in India’s rapidly evolving surveillance ecosystem—where seeing, increasingly, is not just believing, but predicting.
