CARE Hospitals Unveils “The Power of Three” Campaign to Transform Emergency Care

Hyderabad, 27th May, 2025: CARE Hospitals, one of India’s leading healthcare providers, has launched a new national campaign called “The Power of Three.” This campaign highlights CARE Hospitals’ dedication to clinical excellence, rapid response, and compassionate care, setting a new benchmark for emergency healthcare across India.

As part of this campaign, CARE Hospitals has launched 5G ambulances across all its network hospitals in Hyderabad to make emergency care faster and smarter. For the first time, Hyderabad will witness such comprehensive emergency coverage, where technology and medical expertise come together to ensure timely, life-saving interventions at every stage. These high-tech ambulances send real-time updates about the patient’s condition to the hospital, so doctors are ready even before the patient arrives. They allow smooth communication between the ambulance and hospital teams, quick sharing of vital information, and live tracking for faster response. The system also keeps patient data safe and helps improve care through smart alerts and reports, saving more lives when every minute counts.

The campaign reflects CARE Hospitals’ 28-year journey of saving lives through advanced medical care. It highlights how emergency and specialty treatments have improved over the years and promises even faster and better care for patients in critical need.

The campaign was launched by Mr. Varun Khanna, Group Managing Director, QCIL, alongside Mr. Vishal Maheshwari, Group CFO; Mr. Shalabh Dang, Group Chief Sales and Marketing Officer; Dr. Nikhil Mathur, Group Chief of Medical Services; Mr. Biju Nair, Zonal HCOO; and Dr. Kiran Kumar, Head of Emergency Medicine, along with other hospital heads & leadership of CARE. The event took place at CARE Hospitals – Banjara Hills with participation from senior doctors, hospital staff, and patients whose lives were transformed by timely emergency care.

Speaking on the significance of the campaign, Mr. Varun Khanna, Group Managing Director, QCIL said, “This is a proud moment for CARE Hospitals and for healthcare in India. For over three decades, CARE has been synonymous with timely, quality, and compassionate care. With this emergency response commitment, we are reinforcing that legacy while setting a national standard. The ‘The Power of Three’ campaign embodies our belief that access, speed, and clinical excellence must work together to save lives. We promise every patient and family that we will be there when they need us the most.”

As part of “The Power of Three” campaign, CARE Hospitals has made three important promises to the public:

•  All emergency calls will be answered within three rings
• An ambulance will pick-up the patient within 30 minutes anywhere in Hyderabad
• At designated hospitals—Banjara Hills, Hitech City, Nampally, Malakpet, Musheerabad, and Indore—an Emergency Room doctor will attend to the patient within minutes of arrival to the emergency.

These promises reflect CARE Hospitals’ mission to redefine emergency healthcare, making it timely, accessible, and life-saving. They also help the community by giving people quick medical help when it matters most, building trust, and increasing the chances of saving lives.

The campaign also celebrates 28 years of CARE Hospitals and how emergency services have grown stronger each year. During the event, presented case studies and emergency response milestones that demonstrate how swift intervention has positively impacted patient outcomes. Patients and their families shared emotional stories of how they were saved by the emergency teams at CARE. Each story reinforcing the narrative, “From Then to Now: Celebrating CARE’s Journey Through Lives Saved in Minutes.” These stories underscore the critical importance of the GOLDEN HOUR, the vital first hour after a medical emergency, where prompt medical care can make the difference between life and death, recovery and disability. They exemplify the lives touched, healed, and transformed through CARE Hospitals’ commitment to rapid, high-quality medical care across specialties.

The event concluded with a symbolic flag-off of newly branded 5G ambulances, marking the rollout of this campaign across all CARE Hospitals locations nationwide, ensuring the public is informed and empowered to act quickly during emergencies.

Pizza Hut Challenges India’s Quirky Ketchup Habit; Sparks Nationwide Buzz

27th May 2025, New Delhi: Pizza Hut launched the most bizarrely brilliant barter system of the year for its latest consumer experiment, challenging die-hard ‘ketchup-on-pizza’ fans to go ketchup-free, all for a taste of Pizza Hut’s new Juicylicious Pizzas.

It all started with a sharp consumer insight that in India, adding ketchup to pizza isn’t just a quirk, it’s practically a necessity. Consumers have grown so used to compensating for dry, flavourless pizzas by drowning them in ketchup, that having a slice without it feels incomplete. The brand decided to playfully challenge this habit and prove that the new Juicylicious range is loaded with enough sauce and flavour to stand on its own.

To do this, Pizza Hut launched a simple yet bold experiment: Trade in a ketchup sachet at any Pizza Hut store and walk away with a free Juicylicious pizza. The results were surprising to say the least. Long queues outside stores across major cities like Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore and Mumbai. 2400+ pizzas (100 pizzas per day, per store) gone in a flash. Massive online buzz, with the experiment trending and gaining millions of views, not just on Instagram, but on Google Search as well. Finally, even die-hard ketchup lovers admitted that Juicylicous Pizzas are so juicy and saucy that they don’t need anything extra.

To add more juiciness to the experiment, India’s favourite comedienne, Jamie Lever, brought her unique cheesy humour to the table, goofing around with consumers and delivering hilarious takes on the ketchup-pizza break-up that was a long time in coming.

Pizza Hut’s Juicylicious range features succulent, juicy paneer and chicken toppings marinated and paired with three rich sauces inspired from different parts of India making them the ultimate crowd favorites: the bold Kadhai sauce, the aromatic Royal Spice infused with Indian spices, and the fiery Southern Chilli sauce. Generously layered with 100% authentic, gooey mozzarella cheese on a perfectly baked crust, Pizza Hut is elevating the pizza experience with Juicylicious pizzas so that pizza lovers no longer have to settle for dry ones.

Continental Coffee Introduces Four Delightful Flavoured Instant Coffees under Continental Speciale

Hyderabad, India, May 27, 2025: Continental Coffee, a subsidiary of CCL Products (India) Ltd., one of India’s largest coffee manufacturers, is expanding its premium instant coffee brand, Continental Spéciale, with the launch of four flavoured instant coffee variants — Mocha, Vanilla, Caramel and Hazelnut. These new offerings are a first in the Continental Spéciale portfolio, marking the company’s strategic expansion in the growing flavoured coffee segment in India.

After detailed market research, the brand has identified a significant shift in coffee consumption patterns across India. While traditional strong, bitter coffee remains popular in southern regions, there’s growing demand for smoother, flavourful options with less bitterness, particularly in northern markets. The new Continental Spéciale flavoured coffees are expertly crafted to bridge this gap, making premium coffee experiences more accessible to a wider audience of contemporary Indian consumers, particularly occasional drinkers and tea-preferring audiences.

Crafted using shade-grown, perfectly roasted coffee beans, each variant delivers a distinct and flavourful experience designed to appeal to urban, modern palates. The new range includes:

● Continental Spéciale Mocha: A smooth blend of premium coffee with chocolatey undertones

● Continental Spéciale Hazelnut: Rich coffee enhanced by the nutty essence of hazelnuts

● Continental Spéciale Vanilla: A delicate fusion of coffee and creamy vanilla notes

● Continental Spéciale Caramel: A flavourful blend of smooth coffee with sweet caramel notes

Developed by expert roasters at Continental Coffee, the flavoured range is designed for consumers seeking a joyful, flavour-rich coffee moment, without the bitterness.

“At Continental Coffee, we believe in continually evolving with our consumers’ preferences while maintaining our commitment to coffee excellence,” said Raja Chakraborty, CMO, Continental Coffee. “Our research revealed a growing appetite for flavoured coffees, particularly in North India, where consumers desire less bitterness and more distinctive taste notes. The new Mocha, Vanilla, Caramel and Hazelnut blends have been carefully developed for those who crave a delicious, feel-good coffee moment without the bitterness.”

The new variants, available in 50g jars, are now accessible through both offline and online retail platforms across India. Customers can find them on leading e-commerce platforms like Amazon.in, Swiggy, Zepto, Blinkit, and BigBasket, as well as in supermarkets nationwide.

Positioned as cheerful and inclusive, Continental Spéciale’s flavoured range celebrates little moments and joyful indulgence. In a market where flavoured coffee adoption is steadily growing, the brand stands out by offering a product that blends taste, convenience, and emotional appeal.
