TFS Turned Mother’s Day into a Journey Back Home for Its Travellers

Travel Food Services Ltd (TFS), a leading operator of Travel QSR outlets and lounges in India, transformed Mother's Day into a nostalgic experience of journey back home for thousands of travellers from May 7th till 10th, 2026.

Heartfelt Initiative
- Postcards to Mom: Travellers at airports in Kolkata, Chennai, Goa (Dabolim & MOPA), Hyderabad, Delhi, and Bengaluru wrote handwritten notes to their mothers.
- TFS collected, stamped, and posted each postcard — reviving the nostalgia of ink pens and revenue stamps.
- For younger passengers, it was a first-time experience of a tradition they’d only heard about in family stories.

Lounge & Outlet Experiences
- Mother’s Day Brunch: Comfort food curated to evoke family gatherings.
- Interactive Masterclasses: Mothers and children cooked and plated dishes together.
- DIY Craft Corners: Kids decorated cupcakes for their moms.
- Instant Photo Booths: Captured hugs and giggles as keepsakes for the journey.

Leadership Insight
Gaurav Dewan, COO of TFS, said:
> “Mother’s Day is deeply emotional for many people and we wanted to create experiences that allowed travellers to pause, reflect and celebrate those relationships even while in transit.”
