Wiggles introduces tyohaar ki mithai for “Furryvaar”
Mumbai: Wiggles has launched a purpose-driven campaign to ensure a pet-safe and inclusive Diwali this year. The tagline for the “# TyohaarWithFurryvaar” campaign reads, “Iss Saal Naya Riwaaz Banate Hain, Tyohaar Furryvaar Ke Sath Manate Hain.”
Celebrations are incomplete without ‘parivaar’ and pets have become integral family members. Hence, Wiggles coined the term “Furryvaar” to include our furry family.
With this campaign, Wiggles has urged families to change how we look at rituals and traditions and keep our pets in mind while creating our shopping lists, ensure pet treats are a part of the sweets at home; and not forget that one adorable selfie with their fur buddy.
“# TyohaarWithFurryvaar” is now available on all social media platforms, as well as in the Wiggles Tribe pet parent community. The campaign is conceptualised and executed by the Wiggles’ in-house team.
Wiggles introduces “Tyohaar ki Mithai” as part of the “# TyohaarWithFurryvaar” campaign, which raises awareness and educates people about how Indian sweets can be toxic to pets and how sugar, maida, and nuts can harm your pet’s health.
It also shared recipes for pet-friendly sweets like xylitol-free peanut butter and oats laddu that can add sweetness to their Diwali celebrations. In addition to this, Tyohaar Taiyyar offers a socio-cultural atmosphere and educates pet parents to try the anxious pet programme module on firecracker training, besides spreading awareness on celebrating a noise-free Diwali. Lastly, Wiggles highlights the bond of family ties through Tyohaar Wali Selfie and encourages pet parents to upload a festive selfie with their pets, as families often post during Diwali celebrations.
Speaking on the campaign, Wiggles founder and CEO Anushka Iyer said, “Pets are at the heart of all we do, and at Wiggles we make earnest attempts to ensure the right kind of pet inclusivity in all celebrations. Diwali is equally important and our campaign urges and encourages pet parents to make sure that their festivities are pet-friendly and pet-safe. We want them to know that while it is generally a difficult time for our pets and streeties, it is the small efforts collectively that make up for the anxiety they face and ensure it is a happy Diwali for them too. After all, dogs and cats are family, and what is Diwali without our furry family?”

Wipro hires 7,500 freshers, withholds FY27 hiring outlook
Profit rises to Rs 3,522 crore, Rs 15,000 crore buyback announced.
MUMBAI- Hiring may be on, but visibility is off, Wipro is adding talent even as it pauses the crystal ball. The company hired 7,500 freshers in FY26 but stopped short of offering any hiring outlook for FY27, underscoring the uncertainty gripping the IT services sector as it pivots towards an AI-led operating model.
The disclosure came alongside its fourth-quarter earnings, where management flagged volatile demand conditions and refrained from committing to future workforce expansion. Chief human resources officer Saurabh Govil noted that over 3,000 of the total hires were onboarded in the March quarter alone, signalling continued intake despite a lack of clarity on deployment pipelines.
This divergence active hiring without forward guidance reflects a broader industry pattern where talent acquisition continues even as deal conversions remain uneven and client spending cycles stretch. Wipro expects its IT services revenue for the June quarter to range between a decline of 2 per cent and flat growth sequentially in constant currency terms, reinforcing near-term caution.
Chief executive officer Srini Pallia pointed to artificial intelligence as both a disruptor and an opportunity. He said evolving client priorities are pushing the company towards outcome-driven engagements, with Wipro increasingly focusing on a services-as-software model through its AI Native Business and Platforms unit. The shift marks a structural change from traditional headcount-led growth to AI-enabled delivery frameworks.
The company has already committed over $1 billion to its AI ecosystem, with investors closely watching how these investments translate into revenue. For now, the numbers present a mixed picture. Net profit rose sequentially to Rs 3,522 crore, while revenue grew 3 per cent to Rs 24,236 crore. However, core IT services performance remained under pressure, with full-year revenue declining 0.3 per cent in dollar terms and 1.6 per cent in constant currency.
Large deal bookings offered a counterpoint, rising 45.4 per cent year-on-year to $7.8 billion, highlighting a widening gap between deal wins and actual revenue realisation. On a quarterly basis, IT services revenue slipped 1.2 per cent sequentially, signalling continued softness in execution.
Margins, however, told a more optimistic story. Operating margins expanded to 17.3 per cent in the fourth quarter, up from 14.8 per cent in the previous quarter, reflecting improved cost discipline. That said, the company cautioned that upcoming wage hikes and the ramp-up of large deals could exert pressure going forward.
Attrition stood at 13.8 per cent in the March quarter, indicating stabilisation after periods of elevated churn. Alongside its earnings, Wipro also announced a Rs 15,000 crore share buyback, reinforcing its focus on shareholder returns, with a payout ratio of 88 per cent over the past three years.
Taken together, the numbers capture a company in transition investing in AI, maintaining hiring momentum, but navigating a demand environment where growth is uneven and visibility remains limited.
