MUMBAI: Lintas Media Group has won the media mandate for OCL and Eden City.

The account will be serviced from the Kolkata office of the agency.
The businesses amount to a cumulative billing of over Rs 120 million, according to a source in the agency.
LMG EVP-Kolkata Mahesh Motwani said, “Kolkata is a market which is on the path of growth and we are very happy to associate with these reputed brands in the city. We value long term relationships and our growth comes from the continued growth of our clients.”
OCL deputy executive director – cement marketing SG Kedia said, “We were looking at a credible partner to help us in our pursuit to reach out to our consumers, but in a very targeted and planned manner. We were looking at multimedia capabilities and brand centric thoughts from our partners and Lintas Media Group demonstrated both the things well. We look forward to work closely with them and help our brand
reach success.”

MUMBAI: In India’s fast-moving payments race, Visa has just swiped in a new leader. The company has named Suresh Sethi as its India country head, marking a key leadership shift as it sharpens its focus on digital payments growth in the market. Sethi steps into the role following his recent exit from Protean eGov Technologies, where he served as chief executive officer. He succeeds Sandeep Ghosh, who has moved on after more than four years at Visa to pursue an external opportunity.
The appointment comes at a time when Visa is doubling down on its expansion strategy across India and the wider region, deepening partnerships and accelerating adoption in an increasingly competitive digital payments ecosystem.
Sethi brings with him a broad, cross-market perspective shaped by decades of experience across corporate banking, retail financial services, mobile money and large-scale government technology initiatives. He began his career at Citigroup, where he spent 14 years working across India, Africa, South America and the United States, focusing on transaction banking services within the corporate bank.
His appointment signals a blend of institutional experience and market familiarity qualities that could prove critical as Visa navigates a landscape where fintech innovation, regulatory evolution and consumer adoption are all accelerating at once.
As digital payments in India continue to scale rapidly, the leadership change underscores a simple reality, in a market where every tap, scan and swipe counts, who leads the charge can matter just as much as the technology itself.
