0101.Today launches GenZ Martech Circle for young marketers
New community aims to give early talent a voice in shaping martech dialogue
MUMBAI: 0101.Today is looking to flip the script on industry conversations with the launch of GenZ Martech Circle, a community-led initiative aimed at giving early-career professionals a stronger voice in the evolving world of marketing technology.
As marketing becomes increasingly shaped by data, automation and platforms, much of the hands-on work is being done by younger professionals. Yet, the conversations that define the industry often remain top-heavy, led by senior voices and polished case studies. GenZ Martech Circle sets out to change that by putting practitioners at the centre of the dialogue.
Designed as a no-pitch, no-promotion space, the platform encourages open, peer-led discussions grounded in real work and everyday challenges. The idea is simple. Strip away the gloss and let honest conversations take the lead.
0101.Today managing partner Ajay Verma, said the initiative recognises that much of today’s experimentation in marketing is happening at the early-career level, where professionals are closest to data and emerging technologies. The goal, he noted, is to create a space where these voices can shape the future of the industry through shared learning.
0101.Today director martech Nitika Khanna, added that modern marketing now sits at the crossroads of data, technology and customer experience, making it essential for young practitioners to exchange ideas and build stronger, more practical thinking around martech.
The first gathering of GenZ Martech Circle will be held in Mumbai, bringing together a curated group of around 40 young professionals for a discussion-led session. Participation will remain free, with the initiative envisioned as a long-term community fostering collaboration, candid conversations and collective growth.
In a space often driven by buzzwords, GenZ Martech Circle is betting on something refreshingly simple. Real people, real problems and real conversations.
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.
