A Comms to launch ‘in-store’ campaign for Snapdeal.com
MUMBAI: Aurora Comms (A Comms), which has been connecting brands to consumers at consumer spend zones, has tied up with the e-commerce site Snapdeal.com for a campaign across India.
A Comms has been streaming communication on multiple LCD panels in electronic stores. It has been running campaigns connecting brands with technology climbers. Snapdeal.com is the first brand in e-commerce segment to display in Croma and E-Zone outlets across India on such a large scale, the company said.
A Comms director – key accounts Samir Vithlani said, “It is our endeavor to deliver targeted consumers in a contextual manner. Croma and E-Zone attract intellectual consumers and therefore we worked on offering branding and showcasing the deal site across these stores.”
Snapdeal.com head activations Abhimanyu Rishi felt that this will flash the e-commerce site before the eyes of a new audience. He added, “The footfalls in electronic stores in India are tremendous and always increasing. Our tie-up is a unique attempt to promote Snapdeal.com to the smart, upwardly mobile urban citizen. We want to drive home our messages innovatively, not intrusively.”
Aurora Comms uses multiple television panels in electronic stores to create an experiential zone for brands. Some brands may use the medium as pure-play display medium, for some it also works as sampling. In case of Snapdeal.com, this tie-up will only take it to the premium consumers of the two electronic stores and make them aware of its creative approach of getting the ‘Best Deals everyday’.
A Comms will continue to monetise consumer footfalls with snapdeal.com and create result-oriented campaigns.

Radico Khaitan appoints Kunal Madan as chief marketing officer
Promotions signal focus on premium spirits, global expansion and homegrown leadership
UTTAR PRADESH: Radico Khaitan has elevated two long-serving insiders to its top leadership team, signalling a bold push into premium spirits and global markets. Kunal Madan steps in as chief marketing officer, while Sudhir Upadhyay takes charge as chief sales officer, both part of what managing director Abhishek Khaitan calls a consciously built next-generation leadership bench.
“At Radico Khaitan, our growth has always been powered by people,” Khaitan said. “True leadership is not imported, it is cultivated.” He added that empowering internal talent ensures continuity while keeping the company globally competitive and future-ready.
Madan, with over 20 years of experience across global sales and marketing, will drive brand architecture, marketing strategy, and the premiumisation agenda, including travel retail. Upadhyay, who has 25 years in the industry and was most recently national sales head, will oversee distribution expansion and execution across markets.
The leadership reshuffle comes amid Radico’s intensified focus on premium spirits, a segment driving higher margins and international growth. Last year, Ajay Kakkar was brought on to head the Premium On-Trade vertical, targeting modern and institutional channels to boost presence in high-growth segments.
Meanwhile, Amar Sinha stepped down as chief operating officer after contributing across multiple growth phases. Khaitan acknowledged Sinha’s role in supporting the company’s trajectory, while Sinha described his tenure as “an absolute privilege,” crediting Khaitan’s leadership for shaping the company’s strategic direction.
With a homegrown leadership bench and a clear premium agenda, Radico Khaitan is set to accelerate its global expansion while doubling down on brand elevation and market impact.
