Our collaboration with Havas Worldwide India enables us to communicate with this dynamic audience in a language they resonate with. iQOO Z7 Pro 5G is the answer to what the Gen Z desires since it provides groundbreaking performance and pushes the boundaries of smartphone capabilities in the segment. The campaign reflects our commitment to not just meeting but exceeding their technological aspirations.”
Havas Worldwide India CCO Anupama Ramaswamy said, “The iQOO Z7 Pro 5G is the perfect example of what the Gen Z wants and deserves. A smartphone that matches their spirit to do everything, be everywhere and not miss out on anything. That’s why we decided to set the film in a college campus and have a protagonist who represents the generation aiming for the maximum. And to launch this #fullyloaded smartphone, there’s nothing better than a visually stunning film with the infectious energy of the #fullyloaded life.”

Jubilant FoodWorks faces Rs 47.5 crore GST demand, plans appeal
Tax authorities flag alleged misclassification of restaurant services
MUMBAI: Jubilant FoodWorks Limited has landed in a tax tussle after receiving a GST demand of Rs 47.5 crore from the office of the additional commissioner of CGST and central excise in Thane, Maharashtra.
The order, issued under the provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, relates to an alleged incorrect classification of certain services under the category of restaurant services. According to the tax authorities, this classification resulted in a short payment of goods and services tax for the period between the financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22.
The demand includes Rs 47.5 crore in GST along with an equal amount as penalty, in addition to applicable interest. The order was received by the company on March 13, 2026.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the company said it disagrees with the order and believes its arguments were not adequately considered.
The company is preparing to challenge the decision and plans to file an appeal. It added that once the redressal process is complete, the demand is likely to be dropped.
Despite the sizeable figure attached to the notice, the company said it does not expect any material impact on its financials, operations or other activities.
The disclosure was signed by Suman Hegde, EVP and chief financial officer, who confirmed that the company received the order at 19:06 IST on March 13 and has already initiated steps to contest it.
The development places the quick service restaurant major in the middle of a tax debate that could hinge on how certain restaurant-linked services are classified under GST rules. For now, the company appears ready to take the matter from the tax office to the appeals desk.
