Anushka Sharma is TVS Scooty brand ambassador
MUMBAI: Chennai-based TVS Motor Company has roped in Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma as the brand ambassador for its ‘Scooty‘ range.
Sharma will be the face of all brand campaigns related to the TVS Scooty brand.
Bollywood actors Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor also endorse rival two-wheeler brands. Chopra is brand ambassador for Hero Honda‘s Pleasure while Kapoor endorses Mahindra & Mahindra‘s Rodeo.
According to TVS, this association with Sharma will strengthen the brand‘s commitment to its youth target audience and reinforces its positioning.
TVS Motor Company president marketing HS Goindi said, “Anushka Sharma was an immediate choice for the TVS Scooty brand. She is well known for being spunky with her distinctive style and is an icon for young girls in India. She is seen by young women as one who is living her goals of being vivacious, independent and successful. We are confident that this association will further enhance the popular TVS Scooty Brand.”
Sharma is also the face for brands like Canon, Reliance Netconnect and Nivea.
Preity Zinta was earlier the brand ambassador for TVS Scooty Pep.
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.
