Oxigen Wallet partners Payback to maximise customer benefits
MUMBAI: Pre-paid service provider, Oxigen Wallet has partnered with Payback to bring a unique value merging loyalty and usage for the benefit of the users. The partnership allows Oxigen Wallet customers to earn and redeem Payback points.
The most powerful feature of this partnership is that customers who have earned Payback points on any other platform can redeem them as cash into the wallet and use it for Oxigen’s service offerings, utility payments and online shopping.
Oxigen Wallet CEO Ankur Saxena said, “Our partnership with Payback builds up inertia to load money into the wallet for transaction. Redeeming Payback points and converting them into cash automatically eases that process and enhances customer value. As a wallet player, we are cautious about discounts and cash backs as it erodes our bottom line. In order to be a long term & stable player we want to focus on strategic tie ups that drive customer value and rewards in a manner that meets business objectives and the Payback partnership is one such example.”
Payback CEO and MD Rahul Rana added, “Our partners are mostly the forerunners of their sectors and we are proud to be associated with Oxigen Wallet. We are looking forward to a longstanding partnership as our focus coincides with each other, i.e. to maximize customer benefit.”
Using one single card, members earn loyalty points when they shop at a wide range of different merchants and brands – offline and online. This feature is currently enabled on Android and will be out on iOS in a month.

Instamart and Duolingo launch street spell check campaign for Instaprint
Duo the owl fixes signboard typos across cities to showcase instant printing.
MUMBAI: If spelling mistakes had a sworn enemy, it might just be a bright green owl with a printer. Instamart has teamed up with language learning platform Duolingo for a quirky nationwide campaign that turns everyday spelling errors into a public spectacle while promoting its instant printing service, InstaPrint. The playful activation takes aim at the many misspelled shop boards and public signs scattered across Indian streets. From “saloons” that promise haircuts rather than drinks to menus and posters peppered with punctuation mishaps, the campaign sends Duolingo’s mascot Duo on a mission to restore linguistic order.
Armed with Instamart’s instant printing feature, Duo prints corrected versions of the mistakes on the spot and pastes them over the originals. The result is a series of humorous street interventions that have quickly begun circulating on social media.
Photos and videos of the grammar correcting owl have been widely shared online, with amused users reacting to the unexpected spell check patrol. One user joked, “Ab ayega na maza bhidu,” capturing the internet’s delight at the unusual campaign.
Behind the humour lies a practical message. The activation is designed to showcase the capabilities of Instaprint, Instamart’s printing service that allows users to print documents and posters almost instantly.
The company says the feature is meant for everyday needs such as printing resumes, visa documents or last minute posters without the usual scramble to locate a print shop.
Instamart introduced Instaprint in 2025 across select metropolitan cities including Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi. The service allows users to order printed materials directly through the platform, extending the quick commerce model beyond groceries and household essentials.
By combining Duolingo’s famously persistent owl with India’s street level spelling quirks, the campaign taps into the internet’s long running fascination with grammar mistakes while demonstrating a real world use case for instant printing.
After all, in a world full of typos, sometimes what you really need is a quick printer and a very determined language teacher.
