You open the fridge the moment a craving hit. Every single time. Without thinking.

We built that moment on the front page of @htTweets

Havas Media India embedded a working LED into a front-page Hindustan Times ad for @instamart_it x #GoZero. Turn the page. The fridge lights up. The craving is real. Instamart shows up in 10 minutes. Go Zero makes sure there is zero guilt about it.

Desire does not wait. Neither should your brand.

Growth powered by desire.

India’s sporting economy is being rewritten, and women’s sport is at the centre of that shift.

Unveiled at Manifest Play, marking Havas Play’s second year of association with the platform, our latest report, ‘Women’s Sport at an Inflection Point’, powered by KPMG India, convenes marketers, athletes, and industry leaders around a market that has already transitioned from potential to performance.

This is not a phase of discovery. It is a phase of acceleration, defined by scale, sharpened by influence, and underpinned by growing commercial returns.
Viewership is compounding. Cultural relevance is deepening. Brand integration is becoming more strategic, more intentional, and more measurable.

What is emerging is a high growth ecosystem that demands a recalibrated approach, from how brands invest, to how they build equity, to how they unlock long term value.

The mandate is clear. Align early, invest meaningfully, and build with conviction in a market that is scaling faster than legacy playbooks can keep up.

We are proud to share that Q1 has set the tone for what this year is going to look like with recognition pouring in across Havas Media, @HavasPlay India, @ArenaMedia India, and @PivotRoots .

The awards were many, but what they reflect runs deeper. At Havas, we believe that growth isn't incidental it is desired, pursued, and earned. This quarter was a living proof of that belief. Teams that moved in sync, ideas that pushed harder, and execution that refused to settle all anchored in a shared conviction that desire is what separates good work from great work.

None of this happens without the clients who walk this journey with us. They bring us into the briefs that matter, the decisions that are hard, and the ambitions that stretch us. It is their trust that sharpens our thinking, and their growth that ultimately measures ours. To each of our clients thank you for believing in what we build together.

And to every team across the network this recognition is a reflection of your commitment, your craft, and your collective drive to deliver nothing short of excellence.

Q1 is behind us. But the desire that drove it? That doesn't clock out.

Growth, Powered by Desire.

As you look at the horrific pictures of the bombed Iranian school…

Pause for a minute and think..

Indian Air Force and the Army were given 2 and 7 terror targets respectively to hit on the night of May 6-7 in Op Sindoor…

Each was fully destroyed…

On the morning of May 8, the IAF carried out extensive air defence suppression using long-range kamikaze drones…

On May 9-10 the IAF targeted 14 PAF bases or radar stations/missile batteries…

Destructive evidence of almost all these strikes cane up in satellite pictures…

All strikes were carried out by precision munitions from long distances…

Not one missed aim or strayed to harm civilians… no school, no village or city, no hospitals. None…

This despite not having a fraction of the US military weapons, sensors or surveillance ability…

And in a furiously contested air space against near-peer PAF and its Chinese air defences…

Let’s give credit where due. To our armed forces in this case…

Three years ago, I was at the Lemon Tree Bengaluru for the Volleyball League. And every morning I would finish breakfast & pop out to reception to pick up a copy of the TOI and the Economic Times. After watching me the first two days, this charming lady on duty would see me and immediately pick them out to give me.
One day, I just wanted the TOI, as the crossword then did not appear in the Sunday ET, and when she came with both, I told her I didn't need the ET.
She refused to understand, & didn't want to take back the other paper. And then I realized that like my darling son Neel and all in the autism spectrum, she struggled when a set routine was disrupted.
I apologized immediately, took the ET as well & was rewarded with a smile that just blew me away.
Thank you Lemon Tree Hotels for making a workplace for all. You have a supporter & customer for life

[Aditya Kondawar @aditya_kondawar]

The most radical innovation at Lemon Tree Hotels had nothing to do with room design or pricing. It was about who stood behind the reception desk, who cleaned the rooms, and who served breakfast

In a dialogue between the HR department and the CMD, Patu Keswani, they decided to hire 2 differently-abled people. "It was an experiment. The team was not sure how the new staff members would integrate with the rest of the team or if they could do the job," says Aradhana. The impact of this small gesture was apparent when Mr. Keswani was approached by a very emotional mother of one of these persons with an invitation to attend his wedding. The possibility of this nuptial would have been negligible if the boy had no job. By merely giving an opportunity, everything changed. And, the business continued to gain from the services of 20+ differently-abled resources. Since that day, there has been no looking back.

What started as an experiment evolved into one of the most ambitious inclusion programs in the global hospitality industry. Currently, ~13% of Lemon Tree employees are from this disadvantaged segment of the population, although the company targets and often achieves a rate closer to 20% in many properties.

"This is not charity, it is our business model" became Lemon Tree's mantra. The numbers backed it up. Employees with disabilities showed lower attrition rates (12% v/s industry avg of 50%). They demonstrated higher loyalty, better attendance, and often superior performance in their designated roles. The deaf employees in housekeeping communicated through visual cues and checklists, often resulting in more thorough cleaning. Staff with Down syndrome, working in consistent routines, excelled in laundry and food service roles.

Lemon Tree Hotels has been presented the National Award by the President of India for 'Best Employer of Persons with Disabilities' in 2016 and 2011, and a third National Award in 2012 for being a 'Role Model in providing a Barrier Free Environment to Persons with Disabilities'.

The business case was compelling. In an industry plagued by 50-100% annual turnover, Lemon Tree's inclusive hiring created a stable, dedicated workforce. Training costs dropped. Service consistency improved. And something unexpected happened—guests noticed. The genuine warmth from employees who had been given opportunities they couldn't find elsewhere created an authenticity that no amount of hospitality training could replicate.

The ripple effects went beyond the hotels. Lemon Tree partnered with NGOs to create training programs. They developed visual communication systems that became industry standards. They proved that infrastructure changes for accessibility—ramps, visual alerts, modified workstations—cost less than the savings from reduced turnover.

By making inclusion a business strategy rather than a CSR initiative, Lemon Tree didn't just change lives—it changed the economics of hospitality employment in India.

This is awesome!
