ColourCraft bags AIESEC India digital mandate
MUMBAI: The India chapter of the youth-run, non-profit organization AIESEC has given the mandate to ColourCraft Studio (CCS) for designing and developing multiple websites to strengthen the organization’s digital presence.
CCS will leverage and amplify the appeal of India as a major contributor to AIESEC’s aim to address the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals through AIESEC’s volunteership and professional internship programs. By emphasizing on India’s rich historical and cultural background, CCS plans to project the country as an internship destination. The projects were won following a two month-long brainstorming session between CCS & AIESEC.
ColourCraft is working on understanding what makes AIESEC such an inspiring organization for the youth worldwide and aims to emit the spirit of the organization while showcasing India as a major cultural destination for global interns.
CCS Co-founder and business director, Aditi Gandhi said, “The trust in CCS is a huge opportunity for us to create large-scale, strategy-driven and creatively-inclined digital assets.”
AIESEC in India B2B VP Sean Ankit Bothra said, “We were looking for a partner who would understand and communicate our core values in an out-of- the-box manner. The idea is to work together towards building effective designs and strategies to further enhance AIESEC’s iconic status.
“We hope to explore AIESEC in India’s potential to enhance the development of today’s Indian youth and break the mindsets of Internationals about the Indian realities.”

Swiggy sees record orders during India vs New Zealand T20 final
Chicken biryani tops match-day menu as fans order 7,500 times per minute at peak.
MUMBAI: India’s T20 final didn’t just break stumps, it broke Swiggy’s delivery records, proving cricket fans celebrate victories with plates, not just flags. Swiggy, India’s leading on-demand convenience platform, reported a sharp spike in food orders during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand. On 8 March 2026, overall orders rose 23.2 per cent year-on-year compared with the same date in 2025, driven by fans turning living rooms into mini stadiums complete with match-day feasts.
Key highlights from the evening:
- Orders during peak match hours (7–10 pm) were 2.1 times higher than pre-match levels.
- The highest order rate hit 7,500 orders per minute at 19:45.
- Chicken biryani reigned supreme as the most-ordered dish, followed by masala dosa, chicken fried rice, garlic breadsticks and paneer butter masala.
While metros such as Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad led volumes, the cricketing fever spread nationwide. Among emerging cities, Thiruvananthapuram, Surat and Rajkot recorded the strongest order growth. Smaller markets including Shillong, Agartala and Port Blair also showed significant appetite, underlining the expanding footprint of quick-commerce food delivery across India.
The surge reflects a growing trend of pairing major sporting events with doorstep delivery, turning big matches into shared, convenient celebrations. In a night where every boundary mattered, Swiggy proved the real MVP might just be the delivery partner who kept the snacks and the vibes flowing without missing a single wicket.
