Wellbeing Nutrition enters kids’ space with Superfuel Mix
MUMBAI: Wellbeing Nutrition has stepped into an entirely new aisle with the launch of Kids Superfuel, a clean-label daily nutrition mix designed for children aged seven and above. The brand, known for its science-backed wellness products, is now expanding its mission to help families make simpler and more transparent nutrition choices.
Kids Superfuel is the result of months of listening to parents who want childhood to stay full of curiosity and playful mischief, but prefer none of that mischief to enter their child’s diet. The brand says its philosophy is simple. Let children explore and be delightfully messy in life, while keeping their daily nutrition clean, clear and free of surprises.
Founder Avnish Chhabria said the launch marks an important milestone for the company as it enters a new category guided by its original promise of science, clarity and holistic wellbeing. He added that parents increasingly want products with honest formulations so they can make confident decisions about their child’s health.
Crafted for everyday use, the mix is built on clinically researched ingredients. It blends balanced protein with essential vitamins and minerals to support growth, while Omega 3 DHA aids cognitive development. Colostrum boosts immunity, probiotics and natural prebiotic fibre support digestion, and digestive enzymes help improve nutrient absorption. Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Vitamin A, lutein and zeaxanthin round off the formula with benefits for bone strength and eye health. The mix contains no refined sugar and is naturally sweetened with monk fruit.
Kids Superfuel comes in two flavours, Creamy Vanilla and Milky Chocolate, both designed to appeal to young taste buds while staying firmly in the clean-label zone. The 400 gram pack is priced at Rs 949 and is available on the brand’s website and Amazon.
With this launch, Wellbeing Nutrition has signalled a fresh chapter in its growth story as it turns its attention from adult wellness to the world of growing children and the families who guide their everyday choices.

Havas reports solid Q1 2026 with 2.5 per cent organic net revenue growth
Advertising group maintains positive momentum and confirms full-year guidance.
MUMBAI: Havas has started 2026 on a strong note proving that even in uncertain times, its converged model continues to deliver. The global advertising and communications group reported net revenue of €638 million for the first quarter of 2026, representing organic growth of +2.5 per cent compared to the same period last year. This performance was driven particularly by a robust +7.4 per cent organic growth in the United States.
Total revenue for the quarter reached €667 million, with organic growth of +2.8 per cent. Recent acquisitions contributed a positive scope impact of +1.7 per cent, while foreign exchange movements had a negative impact of -5.8 per cent, mainly due to the US dollar and British pound.
Europe, which accounts for 50 per cent of net revenue, delivered +1.1 per cent organic growth, supported by a good performance in France. North America (36 per cent of net revenue) led the way with +7.4 per cent growth, thanks to strong contributions from both Havas Creative and Havas Media. APAC & Africa (8 per cent) saw a decline of -6.2 per cent, while Latin America (6 per cent) remained nearly stable at -0.6 per cent.
Havas chairman and CEO Yannick Bolloré said, “Havas has started 2026 on a solid footing, continuing its momentum and delivering organic growth in net revenue of +2.5 per cent. This performance, in line with our full-year 2026 guidance, was driven in particular by continued strength in the US.”
The group also continued its bolt-on acquisition strategy, acquiring majority stakes in four agencies during the quarter: Acento Public Affairs (Spain), Ctrl Digital (Sweden), Styleheads (Germany), and Eyesight (France).
Havas maintained its strong creative reputation, ranking as a top holding company in the WARC Creative 100 for the sixth consecutive year, with three agencies BETC, Havas Paris, and Havas India placing in the Top 50.
Looking ahead, Havas confirmed its 2026 guidance: organic net revenue growth between +2.0 per cent and +3.0 per cent, adjusted EBIT margin between 13.2 per cent and 13.5 per cent, and a dividend payout ratio of around 40 per cent. The group also reiterated its medium-term targets for 2028.
Despite ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, Havas enters the rest of the year with solid fundamentals and confidence in its ability to deliver sustainable, profitable growth.
In a challenging environment, Havas is proving that its integrated, client-centric model remains resilient delivering steady growth while continuing to invest in creativity and innovation. The first quarter results suggest the group is well-positioned to navigate the year ahead with confidence.
