Salad Life by Massive Restaurants Is Here to Make Clean Eating Irresistible

The house that brought India Louis Burger, Nashville Fried Chicken, and Slyce Pizza is now serving up something refreshingly different — and just as craveable. Massive Restaurants Pvt. Ltd. has launched its newest delivery-first brand, Salad Life — a contemporary take on clean eating, tailored for a generation that wants its greens with a side of bold flavor.

Now live on Zomato and Swiggy across Delhi NCR, Salad Life is built on one simple but powerful idea: health food shouldn’t feel like a compromise. Designed for those who balance boardrooms with gym bags, the brand offers chef-crafted salads, hearty bowls, wraps, sandwiches, soups, smoothies, cold-pressed juices, and even guilt-free desserts.

And this isn’t your basic bowl of iceberg and olives.

From the Grilled Chicken & Hass Avocado Salad to the Falafel Hummus Salad, from Burrito Bowls to Granola Tiramisu Parfaits, every item has been engineered to hit that golden triangle of taste, nutrition, and texture. With clear calorie counts, transparent ingredients, and smart packaging that locks in freshness, Salad Life is all about convenience without compromise.

“With Salad Life, we’re not just launching another food brand — we’re answering what modern India is really hungry for,” said Zorawar Kalra, Founder & Managing Director, Massive Restaurants Pvt. Ltd.
“People are done with boring health food. We wanted to create something joyful, indulgent, and still good for you. Whether it’s a light lunch or a post-workout reward, this is food you’ll actually look forward to.”

Vegan, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian options abound, with global flavors and local favourites folded into the menu. The packaging? Resealable, travel-friendly, and designed to keep your food looking and tasting as good as it did in the kitchen.

Where wellness meets wickedly good flavor

In a crowded food delivery market, Salad Life stands out for its ingredient-first mindset, nutritional integrity, and hospitality-grade attention to detail. It's a lifestyle brand for a generation that wants to eat smart without eating sad.

Lighting the Flame for the Future: IHM Ranchi Welcomes the Batch of 2025–26

With tradition, pride, and purpose, the Institute of Hotel Management (IHM), Ranchi rolled out a spirited welcome to its new B.Sc. H&HA students — the batch of 2025–26 — in a grand orientation ceremony that celebrated both heritage and ambition.

The day began on a reverent note with a Gayatri Havan, setting a tone of positivity across the campus. This was followed by the ceremonial lighting of the lamp by Ms. Jadhav Vijaya Narayan Rao, Director, Department of Tourism, Government of Jharkhand, who graced the event as Chief Guest. Joining her were Mr. Sahil Kapoor, Managing Director of Lemon Tree Hotels, Ranchi, and Dr. Bhupesh Kumar, Principal of IHM Ranchi, along with student leaders Mr. Mihir Ghosh (Student Representative President) and Mr. Aditya Kumar Singh, acting as General Manager of Hotel IHM Ranchi.

Cultural richness met student energy as performances like Ganesh Vandana and Jharkhand’s traditional Jhumar dance showcased the region’s artistic legacy. The dignitaries also unveiled the latest edition of the institute’s magazine, “Sandesh”, marking a proud moment for the student editorial team.

In her keynote address, Ms. Rao encouraged the students to step into hospitality with discipline, humility, and adaptability, underlining the sector’s vital role in economic development and tourism. “The hospitality industry is not just a career — it's a calling,” she said, urging the new batch to see themselves as future brand ambassadors of Indian hospitality.

Mr. Sahil Kapoor brought in industry wisdom with a motivating message: “Dream big and stay limitless.” Drawing from his own journey, he emphasized ambition, resilience, and the importance of thinking beyond boundaries.

Welcoming the students into the IHM family, Principal Dr. Bhupesh Kumar highlighted the institute’s commitment to shaping not just professionals, but also responsible, value-driven citizens. He shared success stories of alumni, along with insights into the academic calendar, training modules, and evolving career opportunities.

The orientation also included detailed briefings by committee heads on academic departments, internships, placements, and institutional policies — ensuring that students had a strong footing to begin their journey.

The event concluded with a vote of thanks by Mr. Mihir Ghosh, rounding off a day filled with pride, inspiration, and the unmistakable spark of potential.

K Raheja Corp Launches ‘I-Lead’ to Shape the Next Generation of People Leaders

K Raheja Corp is doubling down on leadership from the ground up with the launch of ‘I-Lead’, a new initiative designed to turn early-career managers into high-impact, people-first leaders across its flagship brands: Mindspace Business Parks REIT, Chalet Hotels, Inorbit Mall, and K Raheja Corp Homes.

The inaugural cohort includes over 100 managers, marking the start of a group-wide rollout that aims to elevate leadership capability where it matters most—on the ground, in the thick of execution, and at the heart of teams.

Targeted at professionals in Manager to Assistant General Manager roles, I-Lead goes beyond theory. It zeroes in on real-world managerial essentials—think trust-building, feedback conversations, accountability, goal-setting, and delegation—equipping participants with the confidence and clarity to lead with purpose.

What sets it apart? A co-created curriculum between K Raheja Corp’s internal L&D pros and Basil Tree Consulting, with facilitator-led sessions, hands-on application, reflection zones, assessments, and structured follow-ups. Translation: not just learning about leadership, but living it.

“Managers form the operational backbone of our businesses,” said Urvi Aradhya, CHRO, K Raheja Corp. “With I-Lead, we’re investing in building a generation of leaders who are not just efficient, but empathetic, accountable, and aligned with the culture we value.”

I-Lead is the newest addition to the group’s rich portfolio of progressive people programs—from Anchal for expectant mothers, Pride Side for LGBTQ+ inclusion, Relaunch for second-career professionals, and Sheroes for women leaders, to Shikhar, Reach Out, and Future-Forward for top-tier leadership growth.

Together, these initiatives reflect a clear people philosophy: grow from within, and grow with care.
