Farzi Cafe
98's highest-reach concentrated activation. 20 creators delivering 6.49M combined reach for Farzi Cafe — Massive Restaurants' contemporary Indian concept. Anchored on Amar Sirohi (@foodie_incarnate, 2.35M public figure), Syma Verma (766K), Saanya Khatter (532K), Mehak Dhawan (338K), Harteerath Singh (297K). Founder Zorawar Kalra (Massive Restaurants) in the supporting roster — a rare founder presence.
When the brand is already known, the creator stack reminds — it doesn't introduce.
01 The Snapshot
Farzi Cafe is a Massive Restaurants concept — contemporary Indian, multi-city, already a known name. The brief to 98 was specific: re-engage Delhi's food creator community after a pandemic-era visibility dip. The KPI wasn't 'launch the brand' — Farzi was already known. It was 'reaffirm the city's relationship with the venue'.
98 anchored the campaign on Amar Sirohi (@foodie_incarnate, 2.35M verified public figure) — India's most-followed food creator. Syma Verma (766K verified reel creator), Saanya Khatter (532K verified public figure), Mehak Dhawan (@foodiesince96, 338K verified), and Harteerath Singh (297K verified) backed him up. Founder Zorawar Kalra appeared in the supporting roster — a founder-cameo pattern 98 has reused successfully on Poetry.
02 The Challenge
Re-engagement campaigns are different from launch campaigns. The brand is not new — diners have priors, both positive and dormant. The job is to remind, not to introduce. That requires creators whose audiences will read 'oh, I forgot how good that is' — not 'oh, what's that?'.
03 How It Was Run
98 ran the Farzi Cafe · Massive Restaurants launch as a four-stage operation: brief and concept, creator match, visit choreography, and asset handover.
04 What Delivered
The Farzi Cafe · Massive Restaurants campaign produced four distinct asset classes — built to live beyond the launch window and re-run on the brand's owned channels.
05 98 · The Capability
Farzi Cafe is 98's case for re-engagement campaigns. The mega-anchor (Amar Sirohi 2.35M) carries the message; the founder cameo carries the credibility; the verified density signals institutional weight. Same playbook applies to any brand that's gone quiet and needs to come back loud.

Sourcing. This is the case record as published in Ninety-Eight’s archive; the same data renders the case file on the landing page, so the two cannot disagree. Reach is combined follower reach — the sum of the follower counts of the handles that posted — not impressions, not views.
