    Uber hits the road with Motorhomes in more cities

    MUMBAI: Buckle up for a new kind of road trip. After cruising through Delhi NCR with a sold-out pilot, Uber is taking its Intercity Motorhomes experience to Mumbai, Bangalore, and Pune. The limited-edition offering, which lets riders book caravan-style vehicles for outstation getaways, opens bookings on 13 October, with rides starting 15 October.

    Initially launched in August to promote premium outstation travel, the Delhi pilot saw 100 per cent occupancy throughout its run, prompting the expansion. Each Motorhome comes loaded with road-trip luxuries, a TV, microwave, mini-fridge, and even a lavatory, offering up to five passengers a lounge-on-wheels experience complete with a driver and helper.

    “Uber Intercity has become a preferred choice for dependable and comfortable travel between cities,” said Uber India and South Asia director – consumer growth Shiva Shailendran. “With the success of Motorhomes and expansion to new cities, we’re strengthening Intercity’s position as the go-to for long-distance travel.”

    The festive season, known for weddings, holidays, and spontaneous getaways, makes this expansion timely. Riders can book trips through Uber Reserve, add stops, track rides, and access 24 by 7 support, though early booking is advised given the surge in demand.

    With over 3,000 intercity routes now under its belt, Uber continues to steer India’s outstation travel scene into a smoother, smarter future, one comfortable kilometre at a time.

  • La Chérie’s Dancing Cloud Japanese cheesecake lands in Mumbai

    La Chérie’s Dancing Cloud Japanese cheesecake lands in Mumbai

    MUMBAI: Pune’s much-loved dessert house La Chérie has wafted into Mumbai with its headline act — the Dancing Cloud Japanese Cheesecake — a dessert so airy it trembles like silk.

    A runaway hit in Pune, the souffle-style cheesecake has become a sensation for its cloud-soft texture, subtle sweetness and melt-in-the-mouth finish. Steering clear of dense, sugary cheesecakes, La Chérie’s version is baked fresh in small batches with no preservatives or artificial stabilisers — just pure technique and clean ingredients.

    “We wanted to offer something that feels familiar yet surprising — comforting but elegant,” says the La Chérie team. “The Dancing Cloud is our idea of quiet indulgence — it doesn’t shout; it stays with you.”

    With Mumbai currently in the grip of a Japanese culinary wave — from omakase dining to kawaii cafés — the brand’s entry could not be better timed. Its cloud kitchens serve a full range of cheesecakes, though the Japanese variant is the undisputed hero. Available on Swiggy and Zomato, the line-up includes the Mini Dancing Cloud (Rs 299), the Chocolate variant (Rs 359) and the Big Dancing Cloud Whole Cheesecake (Rs 899).

    What sets La Chérie apart is its restraint. There’s no gelatin, compound chocolate, agar or bulking agents — only precision baking and honest ingredients. Made with eggs, the cheesecake can be savoured warm or chilled, offering a different experience each time.

    Founded in 2020, La Chérie has built its name on craftsmanship and purity — from its signature Japanese cheesecake to its indulgent New York version. Its Mumbai launch signals more than just expansion — it’s a sweet shift in the city’s dessert culture: thoughtful, modern, and blissfully light.

  • Spinny drives the point home with Sachin’s ‘God Promise’ on the move

    Spinny drives the point home with Sachin’s ‘God Promise’ on the move

    MUMBAI: When Sachin Tendulkar makes a promise, it’s not just heard, it’s driven home. Quite literally now, as Spinny’s ‘God Promise’ campaign hits the road across India’s metros, shifting gears from screens to the streets. After racking up millions of views online and sparking buzz on Linkedin, Spinny has now rolled out a high-visibility outdoor and transit campaign. Think branded cabs in Delhi, city buses in Chennai, Bengaluru and Pune, and even Mumbai’s iconic double-decker buses all bearing the message of trust, assurance, and India’s most beloved cricketer.

    It’s a smart move. Where better to meet your potential car buyer than during their daily commute?

    Much like the brand films, the OOH creative is no-nonsense and culturally grounded. The sight of Sachin paired with the words “God Promise” cuts through the usual billboard clutter not with flash, but with familiarity. The campaign strikes an emotional chord with Indians for whom trust, especially while buying or selling a car, is non-negotiable.

    In addition to the celebrity endorsement, Spinny has backed its ‘promise’ with action: a first-of-its-kind 3-year Assured+ warranty, a 5-day money-back guarantee, and access to over 10,000 plus verified cars. For sellers, the platform also promises best-price deals putting its money where its messaging is.

    From Delhi’s RWA networks to Mumbai’s bus routes and Chennai’s bustling corridors, Spinny’s strategy is simple: be visible where the buying intent brews. Not in boardrooms or banners, but on buses, in traffic jams, and on roads where real decisions are made.

    As one campaign insider put it, “Trust isn’t a tagline for us, it’s an everyday delivery.”

    With Spinny’s new route, the message is clear: in the great Indian used-car market, faith isn’t optional. It’s a feature.
