Celebrity Chef Sihi Kahi Chandru Becomes the Brand Ambassador for Kwality Foods' First-of-its-Kind Sambar Masalas tailored for Idli and Rice
NewsVoir Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 24: With a rich legacy of combining traditional flavours with modern innovations, Kwality Foods continues to redefine the processed food segment through thoughtful, consumer-first products. Known for its expansive range of breakfast cereals, instant mixes, and masalas, the brand is once again creating excitement in Indian kitchens with a unique, heartfelt offering. In a recent consumer insight study conducted by Kwality Foods, one key observation stood out: "For a perfect Idli experience, an equally perfect Sambar is essential. Yet, the market lacks options that truly deliver the authentic, home-style flavour people crave." Rising to this challenge, Kwality Foods is proud to be the first to launch two distinct Sambar Masalas, each carefully crafted to bring back the taste of traditional, home-made cooking: Kwality Idli Sambar Powder: A clear, aromatic Sambar mix that delivers a delicate balance of sweet, salt, and spice--reminiscent of the comforting flavours found in every South Indian home, perfect to enhance your breakfast moments. Kwality Rice Sambar Powder: A rich and robust masala that brings depth and wholesomeness to rice-based meals, offering the full-bodied, slow-cooked taste of traditional family recipes. Both variants are proudly developed in the Kwality Recipe Lab, where culinary traditions meet innovation. Each spice blend reflects the brand's deep commitment to preserving the soul of Indian cooking while adapting to today's fast-paced lifestyles. Further adding to the flavour and credibility of this launch, Kwality Foods is thrilled to welcome celebrated Karnataka chef and television personality, Sihi Kahi Chandru, as its official brand ambassador. With decades of culinary experience and a deep cultural connection to South Indian cuisine, Chef Chandru brings authenticity and trust to the Kwality brand. His association will play a key role in driving awareness and relatability across households in Karnataka and beyond. Speaking on the launch, Naresh Pagariya, Managing Director, said, "At Kwality, we always strive to understand the pulse of Indian kitchens. This innovation fills a long-standing gap by offering Sambar powders that are not just convenient but also rich in authentic, home-made taste." Dheeraj Jain, Director, added, "Indian cooking is deeply emotional and rooted in memories. With these two distinctive Sambar Masalas, our goal was to bring back the traditional flavours that remind you of your mother's or grandmother's kitchen. We're proud to offer a product that truly celebrates South Indian culinary heritage." This launch further expands Kwality Foods' regional spice and instant mix portfolio, following the successful introduction of beloved products like Rava Idli Mix, Puliyogare Mix, Bisibelebath, Vangi Bath, Sambar Powder, and Rasam Powder.

Arnifi Ignites Entrepreneurial Ambitions in Mumbai with Roadmap to Dubai Success
VMPL New Delhi [India], June 24: Arnifi, a digital-first corporate services provider, continues its mission of simplifying global business expansion for Indian entrepreneurs. On June 13 and 14, 2025, Arnifi successfully hosted its third Dubai Investment Roadshow of the year in Mumbai, following impactful editions in Bengaluru and Chandigarh. The event aimed to provide aspiring founders and established investors with the insights, tools, and support they need to explore business opportunities in Dubai. Mumbai Takes the Spotlight Mumbai, India's financial hub, was a natural choice for the next leg of Arnifi's roadshow. With a vibrant entrepreneurial community and a growing appetite for international expansion, the city welcomed Arnifi's initiative with enthusiasm. More than 100 founders and investors attended the two-day event, which also drew significant digital engagement with over 20,000 impressions across media platforms. Supported by knowledge partner Kamdar Desai & Patel LLP and banking partner Standard Chartered, the event opened the door for deeper conversations about global entrepreneurship and cross-border expansion. Demystifying Dubai Business Setup The core of the event focused on guiding attendees through the process of establishing a business in Dubai. Arnifi's expert panel covered everything from selecting the right jurisdiction and legal structure to obtaining trade licenses, bank account setup, and regulatory compliance. Each session featured real-world case studies, helping the audience relate to practical challenges and solutions. Interactive Q & A segments allowed participants to dive deeper into their specific business needs and receive expert advice on the spot. Personalized 1-on-1 Consultations One of the most appreciated elements of the event was the opportunity for attendees to engage in one-on-one consultations with Arnifi's specialists. These tailored sessions provided detailed answers on topics like document preparation, licensing timelines, visa options, and cost planning. Many entrepreneurs, especially those without prior international experience, found these sessions extremely valuable in removing the uncertainties around global expansion. What Sets Arnifi Apart With over 250 businesses successfully launched in the last two years, Arnifi has built a reputation as a trusted partner for company formation and growth across seven key markets, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, USA, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain. Arnifi's success is rooted in a few core principles: a fully digital, streamlined process that simplifies every step; an AI-powered dashboard that gives clients visibility into progress and deadlines; transparent pricing with no hidden charges; a strong compliance-first approach; and complete end-to-end support from setup to visa and banking. As one participant shared, "Arnifi didn't just explain the business setup process, they made it feel possible. Their honest guidance, efficient tools, and real support gave me the clarity and confidence to move forward." What's Next Encouraged by the overwhelming response in Mumbai, Arnifi plans to take its Dubai Investment Roadshow to other Indian cities in the months ahead. The company remains committed to empowering entrepreneurs with the insights and assistance they need to confidently enter the Dubai market and succeed internationally.
