Aniruddha Deb joins Ogilvy Delhi as VP and biz head
MUMBAI: Ogilvy Delhi has appointed Aniruddha Deb as vice president and business head.
He moves in from Lowe and Partners Thailand, where he was working as the SE Asia business director-Regional Unilever.
He will be reporting to Ogilvy group president north and east Sanjay Thapar.
Confirming the development, Thapar said, “Aniruddha‘s international exposure will help us with fresh perspectives. He will help us structure couple of local and international businesses.”
Deb comes in with over 10 years of experience in advertising and brand leadership roles across categories including FMCG (Unilever Soaps, foods, detergents, oral care and deodorants), consumer durables (LG, Greenply), banking (HSBC & ICICI) and telecom (IDEA), across SE Asia (based at Thailand) and South Asia (based at Mumbai and Delhi).
Prior to joining Lowe, he spent over five years at Lintas.
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.
