Deliure Unveils Exclusive Tres Leches Cakes for Mumbai's Dessert Lovers
PNN Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 30: Mumbai's dessert scene just got even sweeter with Deliure's latest launch - the Tres Leches cake. Available in three indulgent flavours - Classic Tres Leches, Pistachio Tres Leches, and Chocolate Tres Leches - this new offering reinterprets the beloved Latin American dessert, bringing a fresh twist to a traditional classic. The Classic Tres Leches stands at the heart of the collection. This dessert is a masterclass in balance, with a rich, moist cake that is soaked in a delicate mixture of three types of milk: evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. The result is a soft, velvety texture that melts in your mouth with every bite, making it the perfect choice for those who appreciate a rich yet light dessert. The layers of creaminess combined with the subtle sweetness of the milk make this variant a true crowd-pleaser. For those seeking something more adventurous, the Pistachio Tres Leches adds an elegant nutty twist. Ground pistachios are infused into the traditional tres leches batter, adding a delicate crunch and a hint of earthy richness, which beautifully complements the cake's smooth and creamy base. The Chocolate Tres Leches, on the other hand, is a luxurious treat for chocolate lovers. Rich cocoa is added to the mix, resulting in a cake that is indulgently chocolatey, yet retains the lightness and moistness that defines a classic Tres Leches. Deliure's Tres Leches cakes are carefully crafted using only the finest ingredients, reflecting the brand's commitment to excellence and quality. Each cake is designed to deliver a premium dessert experience, blending tradition with creativity. The cakes are prepared to ensure that every bite is both indulgent and refined, providing a sophisticated twist on a beloved classic. Founder of Deliure, Mohammad Selia, commented on the launch: "Our Tres Leches cakes offer a refined and contemporary take on a dessert that has stood the test of time. We've worked hard to ensure each flavour is unique while remaining true to the essence of the original recipe." Currently available at Deliure's stores across Mumbai, the Tres Leches cakes can also be ordered via home delivery platforms like Zomato and Swiggy. As part of its commitment to offering seasonal treats, Deliure will introduce variations of this dessert throughout the year, ensuring that there's always something fresh and exciting for dessert lovers in Mumbai.

Zomato delivery agent channels his inner MotoGP rider, video from hilly road goes viral
In a country where food delivery agents are often spotted weaving through chaotic traffic or racing against the clock to ensure timely deliveries, a new video has stunned the internet, not for delays or mishaps, but for something entirely unexpected. A Zomato delivery partner has gone viral for his breathtaking biking skills, reminiscent of a professional motorcycle racer. In the video, the biker is seen swooshing his bike around the lanes of what looks like an isolated hill road, riding like a professional racer. The video was shared by user @@aas_sthaa on X, on May 26th, with the caption, 'Born to be a Rider, Forced to be a delivery boy!!'. The video has gained 191.7 thousand views. Born to be a Rider, Forced to be a delivery boy!! — Aastha🪽 (@aas_sthaa) May 26, 2025 Many users were captivated by this Zomato delivery guy's biking skills. One user commented, 'Bro is loving his job.' Another user wrote, 'Delivery boy on fire.' One user commented on the impact of his riding on the food ordered: 'Ordered cake, received halwa.' This is not the first time a Zomato delivery partner has gone viral. Last year, a delivery agent earned praise for delivering orders during Diwali, braving festive traffic and tight schedules. More recently, a Zomato partner in Pune touched hearts across social media after he went the extra mile literally to deliver missing food items from a customer's order. Despite living with partial paralysis, he made the trip without hesitation and even refused to accept a tip for his effort. The story was shared on LinkedIn by Pune-based entrepreneur Shripal Gandhi and quickly went viral. Even the company's leadership has shown a hands-on approach to understanding the delivery ecosystem. Last year, Zomato co-founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal took to the streets of Gurgaon as a delivery partner. Accompanied by his wife, Gia Goyal (formerly Grecia Munoz), he delivered food on a bike, aiming to gain firsthand insight into the everyday challenges faced by Zomato's delivery partners.

Karnataka to impose slab-based cess fee on aggregators
The Karnataka labour department is likely to introduce a slab-based structure to collect welfare funds from aggregators to support the Karnataka Gig Workers Social Security and Welfare Fund. According to government officials, the labour department is considering a welfare fee levy of 1-5 per cent based on the payouts made to gig workers and the commission structures of platforms. The Karnataka Platform-Based Gig Workers (Social Security and Welfare) Ordinance, 2025, which got its assent from Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot on Tuesday, mandates the state government to set the cess percentage for aggregators within six months (November 2025) of the ordinance coming into force. The ordinance extends to aggregators, including Swiggy, Zomato, Amazon, Ola, and Uber, among others. Dr Manjunath, Additional Labour Commissioner, Karnataka, told The Indian Express, 'We are consulting all the platforms and considering their inputs. The draft rules for setting the cess percentage will be finalised by Monday. We will be inviting public and stakeholder feedback before formalising the rule.' The government is studying the financial modalities the aggregators have with gig workers in services like ride sharing, food and grocery delivery, logistics, e-marketplace for wholesale/retail sale of goods and services, healthcare, travel and hospitality, and content and media services. Meanwhile, industry body Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) will also hold a key meeting with its members, including the leading aggregator platforms, over Karnataka's gig workers ordinance on Monday. During last year's consultations on the draft bill, industry voiced concerns over a uniform fee structure, citing its unsuitability for varied platform business models. The proposed slab-based approach appears to address these concerns by tailoring the welfare fee to different platform types. For instance, SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) platforms like Namma Yatri that operate on subscription fees rather than transaction commissions could be subject to lower welfare fee rates of 1-2 per cent. In contrast, commission-based aggregators such as Swiggy, Zomato, Zepto, Ola, Uber, Amazon, and Flipkart may face higher fees, potentially scaling up to 5 per cent, depending on their revenue models and transaction volumes.

Swiggy shares plunge 41 pc, trade below IPO price
Mumbai: Swiggy's stock has taken a sharp hit in 2025, falling by 41 per cent, so far, this year and trading below its IPO listing price since February 6. The drop reflects growing investor concerns over widening losses, rising competition, and uncertainty around the company's path to profitability. In the January-March quarter (Q4) of FY25, Swiggy reported a net loss of Rs 1,081 crore, a significant downward slide from Rs 799 crore in the same period last fiscal. This widened quarterly loss came despite an increase in order volumes and rising revenue, as heavy investments in its quick commerce segment continue to weigh on overall performance. The company's annual losses also surged, reaching Rs 3,116 crore in FY25, up 35 per cent from Rs 2,350 crore in FY24, according to its latest regulatory filings. Adjusted EBITDA loss stood at Rs 732 crore for the March quarter, driven by aggressive growth spending in Swiggy's quick commerce business, particularly through Instamart. While Swiggy's revenue rose to Rs 5,609 crore in the March quarter -- up from Rs 3,668 crore a year ago -- analysts remain concerned about the company's ability to control cash burn and turn a profit. Competitors like Zomato, through its Blinkit arm, have ramped up their presence in the quick commerce space, putting additional pressure on Swiggy's margins. Swiggy CEO Sriharsha Majety defended the company's performance, calling FY25 a 'year of many firsts,' highlighting the launch of new apps like Instamart, Snacc, and Pyng. He noted, 'Our food delivery engine delivered best-ever results across innovation and execution, driving category-leading growth and rising profitability in lockstep.' He also said the out-of-home consumption business became profitable in Q4. Despite these positive developments, the market remains sceptical. Swiggy has not regained momentum post-IPO and has spent nearly four months trading below its debut price. Brokerages note that while the core food delivery segment remains stable, the quick commerce division -- though fast-growing -- continues to be the main drag on profitability.
