Rapido Launches Ownly in Hyderabad, Celebrates the City’s Captains with a Biryani Party After Bengaluru, Ownly has brought its Food Promise to Hyderabad, a model that puts restaurants and consumers first and keeps the bill simple: you pay only for your food and your delivery, nothing more. National, India, September 25, 2026: Known for its biryani houses, Irani cafés and late-night kitchens, Hyderabad is one of India’s most food-loving cities. Mobility platform Rapido today announced the launch of Ownly, its standalone food delivery app, in Hyderabad, the brand’s second city after Bengaluru, where it first launched earlier this year. With Ownly now live across the city, Hyderabad becomes the newest home for the platform’s zero-commission, price-honest approach to food delivery. As Ownly begins its journey in Hyderabad, the brand is placing its Captain community in the front. Captains have always been central to Rapido’s journey since its inception, powering millions of everyday rides and forming the backbone of the platform’s presence across cities. With Ownly, they will also play an important role in taking the food delivery experience to consumers across Hyderabad. To celebrate the Captain community and mark Ownly’s arrival in the city, Ownly hosted a special biryani party for Rapido Captains in Hyderabad. The celebration brought together Captains from across the city over one of Hyderabad’s most loved foods, recognising the people who make Rapido’s and Ownly’s services possible every day. As part of the launch, Telugu Superstar Nani joined the event and spent time interacting with the Captains from across Hyderabad. At the heart of Ownly’s proposition is its zero-commission model, under which restaurants pay no fees and customers are charged only an honest delivery fee that reflects the actual cost of getting food to their door. Speaking at the launch, Aravind Sanka, Co - Founder, Rapido and Ownly said: “Hyderabad is one of the most passionate food cities in the country, especially when it comes to biryani; and that makes it a natural next home for Ownly. Our model is simple: restaurants keep what they earn, customers pay only for their food and delivery, and nobody pays for anything in between. Bengaluru showed us that people respond to honesty in pricing, and we expect Hyderabad to hold us to it just as closely. It felt right to begin here with our captains, because they are the ones who carry this promise to every doorstep in the city.” The launch of Ownly is set to create additional earning opportunities for Rapido Captains in Hyderabad, allowing them to participate in food delivery demand alongside Rapido’s growing mobility ecosystem. As Ownly scales across the city, the Captain network will remain an integral part of delivering a reliable and accessible experience for consumers. With its Hyderabad launch, Ownly aims to bring healthier competition to the city's food delivery market, one that benefits both consumers and restaurants. As a new venture under the Rapido umbrella, Ownly builds on its parent company's focus on affordability, convenience and transparency in solving large-scale, everyday problems. About Ownly Ownly is a standalone food delivery platform, built by Rapido, on a mission to make food delivery affordable for the next 100 million Indians, and fundamentally fairer for the restaurants who make it possible. Ownly operates on a restaurant-first, zero-commission model: partner restaurants keep the full value of every order, freeing them to invest in quality and offer everyday low prices rather than discount-led deals. For consumers, Ownly brings discovery, ordering and delivery together in one simple, price-honest experience - no inflated menus, no hidden costs. Every delivery is powered by Rapido's trusted network of Captains, who earn on each order and bring proven scale and reliability. Ownly is available as a standalone app on iOS and Android, and through the Rapido app.

Amara Raja Announces 4th Edition of ‘Amara Raja Better Way Awards’, Recognising Upcoming Rural Entrepreneurs from Across India The company opens nomination for entrepreneurs across four categories, each carrying a cash prize of Rs 3 lakh and a year of structured mentoring Applications open until November 11, 2026, at amararaja.com/better-way-awards National, September 25, 2026: The Amara Raja Group, a $2 billion global conglomerate, today announced the fourth edition of 'The Amara Raja Better Way Awards', its annual initiative recognising rural and women entrepreneurs driving income generation, employment and innovation across India's villages and small towns.

Women-owned enterprises in rural India employ between 22 and 27 million people, yet the capital and recognition most of these entrepreneurs need remains out of reach. The Amara Raja Better Way Awards are designed to address both. For Edition 4, Amara Raja has added a new category ‘Changemaker of Tomorrow’ to recognise graduate and postgraduate students who develop innovative ideas, solutions or business models that create meaningful and scalable pathways for rural development and upliftment. Instituted in 2023, the awards recognise businesses across four categories. Each winner receives a cash prize of Rs 3 lakh along with a year of structured mentoring in finance, HR, marketing, IT and supply chain: Amara Raja Better Way Award for Women Employment Amara Raja Better Way Award for Rural Income Generation Amara Raja Better Way Award for Best Agri-Based Business Amara Raja Better Way Award for Changemaker of Tomorrow Across the last three editions, the awards have recognised nine entrepreneurs and enterprises nationally, including Thanima Products and Marketing (Kerala), Siyanjali Retails (Himachal Pradesh), Farm2Fam (Maharashtra), Resham Sutra (Ranchi), Bhaumya Innovations (Telangana), Shreeja Mahila Milk Producer Company (Tirupati), Anuttama Products Private Limited (Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka), Ilaagri Services Private Limited, and Ayurarogya Saukhyam Foundation.
