●        Maintained steady 20% year-over-year growth

●        Plans to expand under three sub-brands - Paratha Wah, The Meal Plate, and The Khichdi Club

 

Homegrown North Indian quick-service restaurant (QSR) brand Roti-Wala.com has recorded a 4X increase in yearly orders post onboarding on Zomato, growing from around 38.7K in 2019 to ~1.54 lakh in 2024. Founded in 2017 as a modest cloud kitchen in BTM Layout, the brand has since expanded to three outlets across the city and is now gearing up for its next phase of growth with three new sub-brands - Paratha Wah, The Meal Plate, and The Khichdi Club, as it continues to scale efficiently and cater to evolving consumer tastes.

 

Speaking about their journey, Saleem and Nazima, Co-founders of Roti-Wala.com, said, “Starting as a small cloud kitchen with limited resources was challenging, but our passion for serving fresh, home-style rotis kept us going. Since onboarding on Zomato early on helped us reach more customers and grow steadily. Today, we’re proud to serve thousands daily, delivering food that is healthy, homely, and hygienic, just the way we would eat ourselves.”

 

Aditya Mangla, CEO - Food delivery business, Eternal, said, “It’s inspiring to see brands like Roti-Wala.com grow rapidly while also staying true to cultural roots. We feel privileged to be able to support their journey by offering the tools and aggregated insights they need to serve their customers better. Helping restaurants grow on our platform is a top priority for us.”

 

Roti-Wala.com was founded on a simple yet powerful idea: to deliver fresh, homely rotis to those living away from home. Over time, the brand has expanded its offerings beyond rotis to feature an extensive North Indian menu of more than 100 dishes. Catering to families, students, professionals, corporates, and hospitals, Roti-Wala.com has built a loyal customer base by consistently prioritizing hygiene, affordability, and quality, earning widespread recognition in Bangalore’s competitive food landscape.

 

Since onboarding on Zomato, the brand has:

●        Yearly orders increased 4x from around 38.7K in 2019 to 1.54L in 2024

●        Maintained steady 20% year-over-year growth, reflecting strong market demand

●        Improved menu hygiene and leveraged feedback to improve customer experience

●        Gained valuable insights on ad performance driving greater order volumes and customer engagement.

 

To help small restaurants scale quickly, Zomato has introduced several initiatives in recent years. These include a DIY onboarding tool that helps restaurants get listed on the platform in just 15 minutes, and access to the Restaurant Services Hub, a curated marketplace of verified vendors offering licensing, staffing, and hygiene audit services. In select cities, new restaurants also benefit from 0% commission for the first 30 days, along with credits for ads and Hyperpure services. As of Q1 FY26, Zomato has an average of 313,000 monthly active food ordering and delivery restaurant partners on the platform.

Randstad India Launches Its Second ‘Insta Bag’ Machine Under The Initiative To Reduce Plastic Usage

Randstad India, a leading talent company, today announced the launch of its second free “Insta Bag” cloth bag vending machine in Bengaluru, reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility under its ‘Randstad with Heart’ initiative. Building on the success of its first machine launched last year, this initiative aims to further reduce single-use plastic bag consumption while creating sustainable livelihoods for local communities.

The new machine is strategically located in front of the Commercial Street Police Station, a high-footfall shopping hub that will provide people with a reusable alternative to plastic bags. This launch follows the successful deployment of Randstad’s first Insta Bag machine near Commercial Street in July 2024, which has already made a significant impact - by collecting 2,668 plastic bottles and dispensing 4,500 reusable cloth bags. The initiative has already prevented the usage of around 225,000 single-use plastic bags, thus creating a significant positive environmental impact.

However, the project's impact extends far beyond environmental metrics. The Insta Bag initiative has also empowered three women with sustainable livelihoods, including one who was able to use her earnings to pay her child’s school fees. The program has also inspired students to explore eco-entrepreneurship and sustainability, creating a ripple effect of positive change.

“This milestone is not just about unveiling another machine; it’s about deepening our promise to lead with heart by being responsible, innovative, and  impactful, thus living one of our core values at Randstad - simultaneous promotion of all interests,” said Viswanath PS, MD & CEO, Randstad India. “The Insta Bag project is a powerful symbol of our belief that climate action must be community-driven and inclusive. By scaling this solution, we are reinforcing our commitment to building a cleaner, greener, and more equitable future.”

Anjali Raghuvanshi, Chief People Officer & Senior Director of Business Innovation, Randstad India mentioned that the Insta Bag initiative is a brainchild of one of Randstad India’s ‘CEO for a Day’ winners, Shilpita Bose. ‘CEO for a Day’ is one of the company’s marquee internal rewards and recognition programs aligned with its triple bottom line approach of People - Planet - Profit.

The Insta Bag project is a collaborative effort enabled by key implementation partners, including Green Mic, Instagood Technologies Pvt Ltd, Parihar NGO, Bengaluru Police, BESCOM, and BBMP. The inauguration event was graced by distinguished guests including Akshata Bhadranna, founder of Green Mic, Rani Shetty, Joint Director of Parihar NGO, Dr. Bindya M Yohannan (Rani Shetty’s successor at Parihar NGO), and representatives from Instagood Technologies.

They can also get personalized suggestions and recommendations, such as music and video picks based on subscriptions and interests. In addition, personalized health insights from Galaxy Watch are also easily accessible.

KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments within the device, ensuring each app can only access its own sensitive information.

UX Optimized for Multiple Form Factors

• AI Results View displays results from AI features in a separate Split View or Floating View, keeping their original content visible and unobstructed.

• Thanks to Galaxy AI Optimized for Large Screens, Multi Window lets users drag and drop AI-generated content — including images and text — directly into their workflow. Tools like Drawing Assist and Writing Assist unlock an even smoother creative process, as users can move ideas and visuals around more easily than ever before.

• Gemini Live is now available directly on Flip’s FlexWindow for hands-free voice search, acting as a personal assistant right on the cover screen.

• Audio Eraser proactively detects and removes unwanted background noise, like wind or traffic, with a single tap on a new toggle in video apps and audio apps.

• Featuring a new clock design that stretches and adapts to match the user’s wallpaper. The clock’s font wraps around faces or contours, ensuring visibility without disrupting the image, whether it’s a close-up selfie or a picture of pets. Users can also customize the thickness, size and color of the font to meet their personal taste.

• With advanced customization even for FlexWindow, users can easily create a wallpaper by receiving recommendations and auto-curated wallpapers from the Gallery. Emojis and background colors are also customizable for FlexWindow Emojis wallpaper.

~Engages with untapped communities through a sustainable model~

Tata Motors today released its 11th Annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report, titled “Expanding Circles of Care: Deeper connections, lasting impact.” The report highlights the company’s strategic, community-led approach to inclusive development, grounded in the principle of convergence – where people, policy and purpose align to drive scalable and sustainable change. In FY25, Tata Motors’ CSR initiatives positively benefitted over 1.47 million people across the country, with 56% of beneficiaries belonging to the SC/ST communities

In a year marked by climate adversity and socio-economic disparities, Tata Motors deepened its engagement with underserved communities—transitioning from programme implementation to systemic transformation. With a presence in 109 aspirational districts, the company’s CSR strategy reflects a shift toward scalable, replicable models that align with national priorities and grassroot requirements.

Commenting on the CSR approach, Vinod Kulkarni, Head CSR at Tata Motors, said, “Expanding our circle of care means bringing those at the margins to the mainstream. From enabling dignified livelihoods to restoring ecosystems, we continue to co-create solutions that are rooted in equity and built for long-term impact. Anchored in our "more for less for more" philosophy, we focus on maximising impact efficiently and extend meaningful benefits to the most underserved by leveraging government schemes.”

Key Highlights from the Annual CSR Report FY 24-25:

Water Conservation at Scale

As 66% of rural Maharashtra faced drought, Tata Motors’ water stewardship programme restored 356 water bodies across 10 districts, creating 700 crore litres of additional water capacity. This benefited 7,000 farmers and 2.9 lakh villagers, showcasing a scalable model built on government convergence, community ownership, and digital monitoring. In FY26, the company aims to rejuvenate 1,000 water bodies across 25+ districts.

Rural Development in Underserved Regions

First introduced in 2018, the Integrated Village Development Programme (IVDP) is now active in 16-gram panchayats across Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh. In FY’25, IVDP expanded to Shravasti and Balrampur in Uttar Pradesh, two of India’s most aspirational districts as per Niti Ayog’s Multi Poverty Index

Aligned with 13 Sustainable Development Goals, nine thematic areas at the gram panchayat level and 48 government schemes, IVDP has positively impacted over 18,000 people in the tribal belt of the Palghar district in Maharashtra.

Towards Dignified Livelihoods

In Pune, Tata Motors partnered with Kashtakari Panchayat to support 8,000 waste picker families, enrolling 1,814 women in health schemes and facilitating education and skilling for their children. Four youth joined Tata Motors under the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS).

In Maharashtra, the company collaborated with Nirmaan NGO to rescue 47 bonded labourers, and established the Kamgar Samman and Suvidha Kendra in Bhosari, serving 12,000+ migrant workers with legal aid and access to entitlements.

Fostering Workplace Inclusion

In FY25, Tata Motors on-boarded 141 Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) and 17 transgender individuals across its plants, supported by inclusive policies, sensitisation programmes, and structured training—setting a benchmark for workplace equity.

Driving Academic Success

Under the ENABLE programme, 19,000+ students received coaching for competitive exams. Of these, 8,000 appeared for JEE Mains, with 28% qualifying. In Mumbai, remedial coaching in 69 BMC schools led to a 96% SSC pass rate, surpassing the city average.

Combating Urban Malnutrition

Through Project Aarogyasampanna, 1,000+ children were screened in the slums of Trombay - Mumbai, resulting in a 90% decline in severe and moderate malnutrition. The initiative also empowered parents with nutritional education and established community health libraries.

Record Volunteering Participation

Over 19,000 Tata Motors employees dedicated over 2 lakh hours towards social causes – conducting health awareness drives, championing environmental causes, supporting disaster management efforts amongst others. These actions reflect the company’s deep-rooted culture of compassion and responsible citizenship.
