Wendy’s India is celebrating its 5th birthday and in true Wendy’s style, it’s doing more than just cutting cakes. With over 200 outlets nationwide, the quick service restaurant (QSR) brand has launched a month-long campaign titled “Wendy’s India Turns 5”, packed with everything from India’s first rave Party Bus to creator collabs, roast battles, and burger-inspired raves.
Kicking off the birthday madness is the Wendy’s Party Bus in Mumbai on August 8, a neon-lit, food-fuelled rave on wheels featuring unlimited bites, booming music, and Wendy herself riding shotgun. This marks a first-of-its-kind QSR celebration on Indian streets.
Next, Bangalore hosts The Roast on August 14, an in-store comedy roast at a Wendy’s outlet, headlined by comedian Banti Banerjee, where no burger or brand is safe. Expect unscripted burns, audience takedowns, and a lot of spice, off the grill and on the mic.
On the digital front, Wendy’s is teaming up with popular creators for hilarious and offbeat content. From Darshan Magdum’s parody anthem to Lakshita & Gurpreet’s GTA-style mission, the content lineup brings chaos and comedy in equal measure. AI duo Manki x Dogesh Bhai and creators like Chordinary add their twist to the birthday buzz.
And what’s a party without cake? Enter the Burger Cake, a hyperrealistic creation that looks like an actual Wendy’s meal. It's Instagram-worthy and hunger-inducing.
Also on the list is a mockumentary, offering a quirky behind-the-scenes peek into Wendy’s journey, from mascot to icon of a 200-store food movement.
Rounding out the celebration are Wendy Raves in Delhi, Pune, Hyderabad, and Bangalore (Aug 22–24), in partnership with Coke and Veeba. These events promise wild DJ nights and a menu that parties just as hard.
Sharing insights on the campaign, Nishant Kedia, CMO, Rebel Foods, said:
“We’ve built a strong following over these five years not just because of what we serve, but how we show up. Wendy’s has always stood out for its bold voice and ability to connect with culture in real time. This campaign is our way of saying thank you, turning up the volume, and celebrating with the very people who made Wendy’s India what it is today.”
Through high-voltage storytelling, digital chaos, and immersive on-ground formats, Wendy’s India continues to redefine how QSRs connect with modern audiences, loud, bold, and unapologetically fun.

Founded in 1957, JK Masale has built a legacy of purity, trust, and authenticity for over six decades. The journey began with the late Shri Dhannalal Jain, fondly called the “Jeera King,” and has grown into one of India’s most respected spice brands, known for its uncompromising commitment to quality.
Today, JK Masale proudly announced Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan as its brand ambassador. The partnership is rooted in shared values and legacy. Saif, a member of one of India’s celebrated royal families and a highly respected actor, brings the perfect balance of heritage and modern appeal. His credibility, charm, and sophistication reflect the journey of JK Masale, where tradition meets evolving tastes.
“In Saif Ali Khan, we see a reflection of our own journey,” said Ashok Jain, Managing Director of JK Masale. “His royal lineage, refined persona, and the trust he commands make him a natural fit for a brand like ours. This partnership goes beyond endorsement, it is a union of legacies, where tradition and modern taste come together.”
The campaign featuring Saif Ali Khan will centre around three key themes:
Royalty & Heritage – JK Masale’s six-decade presence in Indian kitchens mirrors Saif’s cultural and cinematic lineage.
Authenticity & Trust – The brand’s reputation for purity and consistency across generations aligns with Saif’s trusted public presence.
Modern Sophistication – Both the brand and Saif embody a refined sensibility that appeals to the new-age consumer.
This partnership comes at a transformative moment for JK Masale. With a major investment in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Jaipur, the brand is embracing cutting-edge technology. The upcoming plant will house advanced grinding units, cold storage, and precision packaging systems, enhancing production capacity by 1480 tonnes per month to meet rising domestic and international demand.
With a strong presence across India, JK Masale also exports to countries including the UK, South Korea, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Bhutan. The association with Saif Ali Khan underlines the brand’s vision to honour its legacy while stepping confidently into the future through innovation and expansion.
