Dunzo’s brand head Sai Ganesh quits
MUMBAI: Logistics and grocery delivery app Dunzo’s head of brand Sai Ganesh has resigned. His next move is not known as of now.
Ganesh joined the delivery startup three years back and worked on building brand Dunzo. His mandate included marketing and brand building of Dunzo and its recently launched quick commerce service Dunzo Daily.
Under his leadership, Dunzo created several viral advertising campaigns such as “Sri Fridgesh Coolkarni”, #GroceryKaDramaChodo campaign and “Learn Kannada Starter Pack”. The latest Dunzo QR code commercial that played out on viewers’ screens during the IPL Finale, has also gone viral and has been quite successful for the brand, according to the company. Dunzo CEO Kabeer Biswas in a LinkedIn post said their traffic spiked 10 times in the hours the campaign was run.
On Ganesh’s departure, Dunzo CEO and co-founder Kabeer Biswas said, “We love Sai. We at Dunzo are so proud of everything that he and the Brand team have built over the last 4 years. He leaves behind an incredible legacy in pushing the boundaries on mediums & changing how brands can & should tell a story in today’s age. I told Sai on his last day that Dunzo will always be a company that he built.”
“We are very excited about what he does next. So Long, Partner. At Dunzo, we will keep building and challenging the norms from here on. We are in it to build one of the most endearing brands to come from India, and will always keep pushing the boundaries of story-telling,” he added.
Before joining Dunzo, Ganesh worked as AVP – marketing at Zomato where he was responsible for the growth and marketing of the company’s membership service Zomato Gold (later renamed to Zomato Pro). He was in charge of the India, Portugal and UAE markets. In his more than decade-long career, he also worked at AB InBev India & South East Asia as a senior brand manager, Hanes and TVS Motor

Manindra Mohan joins CoinDCX as SVP & head – data & analytics
Former Amazon and Unacademy analytics leader to scale crypto insights
MUMBAI: India’s crypto exchange CoinDCX has appointed Manindra Mohan as SVP and head of data and analytics, bringing on board a seasoned data strategist at a time when the country’s digital asset market is entering a decisive phase.
In his new role, he will steer enterprise-wide data science, analytics and business intelligence initiatives. His mandate spans product, growth, risk and customer experience, with a clear brief to embed data-led decision-making into the company’s core as it scales across India and beyond.
Announcing the move, Mohan said he was “thrilled” to join CoinDCX, calling the Indian crypto market pivotal and ripe with opportunity. He thanked co-founders Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal, along with Mridul Gupta, for the opportunity to help shape what he described as the future of finance.
He noted that architecting data solutions for a 24 hour global asset class presents a formidable challenge. Yet, he added, the chance to redefine financial access and drive crypto adoption “across every pin code in India” makes the task compelling.
Mohan arrives with nearly two decades of experience across technology, media and digital platforms. Before CoinDCX, he served as head of data science, analytics and BI at Carousell Group. Prior to that, he was SVP and head of analytics at Unacademy, where he built and scaled the analytics and insights function supporting product, sales, marketing and finance teams.
His earlier stints include heading analytics for Amazon prime video in India, where he oversaw data across product, acquisition, engagement and content, as well as serving as senior manager data sciences and advanced analytics at VMware and senior manager marketing and digital analytics at Dell Technologies. He began his career as senior business analyst at Cognizant, working on large scale crm and analytics implementations for global clients.
Colleagues describe Mohan as a builder of teams as much as models. From managing global analytics rollouts to leading large cross functional units, he has consistently combined statistical rigour with commercial instinct.
At CoinDCX, that blend could prove timely. As crypto exchanges navigate regulation, volatility and rising user expectations, data is no longer a back office function. It is the compass. With Mohan at the helm of analytics, CoinDCX is betting that sharper insights will translate into deeper trust and broader adoption in a market that never sleeps.
