The online restaurant discovery and food delivery startup Zomato Media Pvt., Ltd., has invested in Hyderabad based home cooked meal delivery startup TinMen. In a blog post, Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal announced the companies will work together to offer a larger variety of healthful meal options to the users. Existing investor Lead Angels also participated in this round of funding.

TinMen is a home cooked meal delivery app, owned and operated by Vicinia Retail Pvt., Ltd., that currently serves 10 major areas in Hyderabad. Founded by Mukesh Manda and Chaitanya Degala in 2013, the startup works with professional chefs to provide home cooked meals to working professionals in the City. Talking about the acquisition, Deepinder Goyal said TinMen is “an efficient and modest little company which provides easy access to home cooked meals at affordable prices, for thousands of people in Hyderabad.”

The startup provides office lunches using a scheduler built into their app through which users can create meal plans for a day, a week or a month and opt out of deliveries at a day’s notice. The company offers meals starting from Rs. 65 without delivery charges and is already delivering over 30,000 orders a month. They currently offer services in Gachibowli, Financial District, Kondapur, Hitec City, Madhapur, Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Punjagutta and Begumpet. This collaboration will give TinMen access to Zomato’s 1 million unique user base. The startup is looking to increase its current monthly revenue of around Rs. 28 lakhs by 5 times and is also targeting to cater to over 1 lakh orders per month by March 2018.

Zomato, which recently acquired another food delivery startup Runnr, is tapping into the affordable healthy home cooked meals offering space with this investment. The company has reportedly reduced its cash burn by 81% while its revenue surged by about 80%, making it a profitable startup. Goyal also announced that they will forgo commissions charged to restaurants clocking high order volumes as the company is generating enough cash to cover the investments.

However, Tinmen will not be leveraging Zomato’s self fulfilled delivery fleet but will continue using their existing third party logistics services for now.

Apple

Apple has set a new benchmark in India, recording $9 billion in annual sales for FY25—a 13% surge over the prior year, fueled chiefly by robust demand for iPhones and MacBooks. The tech giant’s strategic expansion into Bengaluru and Pune with new flagship stores has deepened brand engagement and increased accessibility for customers across urban centers.

Apple’s rapid retail footprint expansion and locally tailored initiatives, including student discounts and trade-in offers, overcame price barriers and high import duties to drive sales volumes to unprecedented heights. Meanwhile, local production reached new highs, with 20% of iPhones now assembled in India and manufacturing output up 60%, valued at $22 billion part of Apple’s move to diversify its global supply chain.

India is now Apple’s fourth-largest market worldwide, reflecting its rising role as both a consumption and manufacturing powerhouse for premium tech. Continued investment in retail outlets, partnerships with Tata for device repairs, and consumer-friendly financing have positioned Apple for even stronger growth as Indian incomes and technology aspirations rise.

OYO

OYO, India’s leading hospitality startup, has retained strong profitability in FY25, driven by a significant deferred tax gain and a bold corporate identity overhaul. The company’s net profit surged to ₹623 crore, marking a 172% year-on-year growth, with adjusted EBITDA reaching ₹1,132 crore a 27% increase from the previous fiscal. Total revenue rose by 20% to ₹6,463 crore, propelled by strategic expansion in premium segments and the integration of G6 Hospitality into OYO’s growing portfolio.

The deferred tax gain of ₹765.6 crore played a crucial role in OYO’s profitability for FY25, helping overcome challenges from operational losses and global expansion costs. Meanwhile, OYO launched a campaign to rename its parent company, Oravel Stays Ltd, aiming for a tech-first, globally resonant brand identity as the business prepares for its IPO. This rebranding signals OYO’s shift toward broader urban living solutions, with the “OYO Hotels” brand remaining unchanged for consumers while the corporate entity targets premium and tech-driven markets worldwide.

OYO’s premiumization strategy and aggressive international growth have led to record results for the fourth quarter of FY25, with gross booking value surging 54% to ₹16,436 crore and revenue hitting new highs. These achievements highlight OYO’s disciplined financial management and commitment to innovation, setting a benchmark for Indian startups navigating global expansion and sustained profitability in the hospitality technology sector.

MPL to Lay Off 60% of India Workforce Following Online Gaming Ban

Published

MPL

Mobile Premier League (MPL), one of India’s top online gaming platforms, is set to lay off about 60% of its India workforce following the government’s ban on paid online games. The move, confirmed by MPL CEO Sai Srinivas through an internal email, will impact around 300 employees across multiple departments including marketing, finance, operations, engineering, and legal. This decision comes as a direct result of the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, which restricts paid online games involving monetary stakes to address concerns over financial risks and addiction among young users.

India contributed nearly half of MPL’s revenues, estimated at around $100 million in the 2024-25 fiscal year. With the ban on paid gaming, MPL’s primary revenue source in India has been effectively cut off, prompting the company to shift focus towards free-to-play games and expand its presence in overseas markets such as the United States and Brazil. Despite the layoffs, MPL has pledged to support the affected employees through the transition period. CEO Sai Srinivas expressed regret over the downsizing but highlighted the company’s commitment to developing new business models for the Indian market amid the regulatory changes.

This development significantly disrupts the Indian online gaming industry, which was on track to grow into a $3.6 billion sector by 2029 before the introduction of the ban. While competitors like Dream11 have adapted by discontinuing paid games and avoiding layoffs, the ban has forced many gaming startups in India to rethink their operations. The government’s regulation targets all games involving real money stakes, including fantasy sports and popular card games like rummy and poker, reshaping the future landscape for the country’s gaming ecosystem and its workforce.
