Tata Pravesh’s latest campaign empowers people to make wise choices
Mumbai: Tata Pravesh, from the house of Tata Steel, has launched a new campaign called #AloneButTogether to empower people for making wise choices in the face of the pandemic. Conceptualised by Logicserve Digital, the campaign showcases the power of an individual to drive positive influence.
Aligning with Tata Pravesh’s present positioning of ‘Akela Hi Kaafi Hai’, the campaign comprises of impact-driven Thumbstopper videos that aptly convey the message through simple real-life situations such as planning a wedding in the middle of the pandemic, our attitude towards people who deliver our necessities at home and illustrates how we can make an impact with a simple act.
Commenting on his vision for this campaign, Tata Pravesh’s chief – services and solutions, P Anand said, “This campaign is our attempt at communicating the importance of putting safety first, for yourself and for your loved ones, and making wise choices in our daily life; since we strongly believe that an individual is #AkelaHiKaafi for creating a positive impact. #AloneButTogether promotes the emotion of standing strong with one another by spreading empathy, kindness, and humanity and, encouraging each other to act responsibly.”
Shedding more light on the creative process of the campaign, Logicserve Digital’s SVP – creative, social, PR, marcom, Manesh Swamy said, “The pandemic is not over yet, and as a community, we have to be more vigilant and at the same time be humane. We realized that people don’t generally take it well when we correct them to behave in a certain manner during the pandemic. However, driving the message that every single individual can make a difference was essential. As things are opening up and people are getting back to normalization 2.0 with a scare of the third wave lurking around, we wanted to spread kindness and instill responsibility via these super short thought-provoking films. If you carefully look at the films, Tata Pravesh’s doors and windows are seamlessly integrated with these films and are playing an important role in driving this important message.”

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.
